Dalits.

I as going through an interview of a foreign journalist in "Outlook" magazine. In one of his answers he asked "Is there a Dalit news reader anywhere in Indians news channels?".
Such an important question.

Disclaimer. I am born into a feudal caste. And had a very comfortable upbringing. Except for observations, I have no experience of hardships about 300 million or more people under go in India.

India being a multicultural ,vibrant democracy is not entirely right. We regularly trample upon basic human rights. It was noted somewhere that 100 families dominate Indian political scape. Very right.
Gandhi family (nothing to do with original gandhi),
Ambani, Tata, Birla, Karunanidhi, NTR's family, Jayalalitha, Lalu prasad Yadav, Mulayam singh yadav, Lals in haryana, Farookh abdullah in J&K, Sharad Pawar, Thackarey in Maharashtra, Gowda in karnataka, Karunakaran in Kerala, Patnaiks in Orissa,...
Every states has it's feudal and business families/interests. The other day Manmohan Singh was urging ultra leftists to join mainstream and contest elections. That's sermon from somebody who contested only once and lost. :( He is nominated by Sonia Gandhi. And that is a fact.
Who can contest elections these days? Whoever can afford to spend anywhere between 10 - 60 million can dream of contesting in elections. Apart from managing greedy local leaders of smaller stature.
Why are we pretending? Our hands are tainted with blood. So much so that all perfumes of arabia cannot wash away the stench.
We are happy that a honest guy is our prime minister and another such person is our president. What after these people?
Paswan says dalits & minorities of India want him to Prime Minister and he is confident about that prospect coming true. Lalu too harbours such illusions. And who knows Karunanidhi too.
I just wish that, Communists come into power. So that , those idiots who feed themselves on old dust covered texts understand the realities. I hate those hypocrites above all.
Ok, I will have to stop somewhere. I don't want to waste my life on useless stuff.
