Dalit and floods - August 2008

There have been heavy floods in Bihar in Indian and Dalits are being deprived of relief.


Damned they are damned they will be . come calamities and dalits find themselves buried at the bottom of relief system which knowingly or unknowingly keeps them there. They are last in the line in social strata so they are also last in flood relief line. The pious hindu society does not think it proper to rescue them. Let them die none of our business. They should get their relief from somewhere else. They dare to come and stand with us ? how dare they? This is Bihar ! This is India ! The occurrence of flood does not mean that we should come stand alongside us in relief queue. How the relief can go to them, it should go its rightful deservers, that means upper caste. They should get only left overs as usually that means smallest ration for them. There should be some law and order in society. The established traditional law can not be broken by them. Their place is under our feet. So they can not get preference over us. All should know this. This should be made clear to all the relief agencies. They should respect our tradition and beliefs. And humanity be damned
