Caste Injustice

Subj: Caste Injustice
1. Quote:
Wakter,

You are as usual attempting to shift the blame from the root cause of Christian discrimination of non Christians including converted Dalits, Blacks and Red Indians. By cutting their cultural roots, dreams, aspirations, and self-esteem they lost their innate abilities to transcend injustice imposed on them by their slave masters (The Christian Church)

Freedom, justice and fairness are mere mechanical abstractions prevalent in Christian thought. Christianity erroneously thinks that converted Hindus, Dalits, Blacks and Red Indians automatically enjoy economic freedom, justice and upward movement. How can they grow once their life sustaining roots are cut. Christian freedom and liberalism are catch words only to protect the Christian aristocrats and the fat Church. Christian thought is only a rationale for perpetuating privileges for the church. instead of an ideology (Justice) of radical change, upper class Christians in India made freedom and justice an end in it self not a means toward liberating Dalits.

Walter,

Instead of addressing the root cause of the sufferings of Dalit Christians who are forcefully converted from their cultural roots, you are playing the blame game. Christian Churches in India have been hiding behind a thick wall of denial. You are not an exception. Understanding precarious conditions and discrimination faced by Dalit Christians by the Church requires the Church leaders remain aware of their fallacies and discriminatory policies. A mechanical notion of "justice", and "Human Rights" keep the subject matter safely and squarely within the Church. It is a crude way of keeping an intellectual distance from the pressing problem (Discrimination of Dalits by the Church).

I am not blaming anyone but am only speaking of injustice that all of us have committed and are continuing to commit in the name of caste. I guess you do not want to speak about it so you speak of justice and injustice in the terms you have used. You are free to make your choice and if you want to do it by shifting the blame to someone else, that is your choice. I have nothing more to say on that.

4. My Take:
Dr. Walter Fernandes is lumping everybody together ( Christianity & Hinduism ) regarding caste injustice. But everybody is Not alike nor equivalent. Hinduism does not profess to be casteless, even though Hinduism is trying to eradicate, evacuate, and expunge caste system altogether.

5. Dr. Fernandes concedes that Christianity ( like Hinduism ) practises caste-ism, and transacts injustice on Dalit-Christians. But he fails to behold the hypocrisy that is inherent in Christianity's disposition, because Christianity purports to be totally-casteless. And that is EXACTLY what the Christians want you to believe Christianity is. But Christianity is nothing of the sort. The emperor has no clothes. To put it point blank:

" CHRISTIANITY IS SAILING UNDER FALSE COLORS. "

6. Christianity is on a very flimsy & flabby ground. Why ?
Because Christianity has a history of sexism, racism, and INTOLERANCE of difference, & desecration of Non-Christian religions.

The slaughter of two-thirds of Pagan-Europe, during Christianization of Europe, and butchery of 41 million Native Americans, during Christianization of Americas, are a Red-Hot Reminder of Christianity's TOTAL DISREGARD for human freedom, dignity, and self-determination.
