Let's assume there is no trace of the untouchables in this book -
Tell me O enlighted Brahmin guru why the untouchables are the people
who are below the fourth varna outcaste.
Why deshumanizing an im****tant part of human race?
How could this injustice be justified by a religion?
Are you aware if you're an alien to India ,you are considered
an untouchable too with all the consequences associated to
this "privilege" ?
This discrimination between members of the human race, the citizens of the
same country, the same beliefs ....has to stop and now!!!
A religion that teaches discrimination and imposes unequal treatment
and privileges among its own followers and human race as one of its
main foundations and its goals , is dangerous
The facts are still here and speak for themselves. They don't need
interpreters to explain them to us.
The backwardness and the unnecessary sufferings of an im****tant part
of India's population (the untouchables) are the results of these absurd
teachings imagined by someone who should've been himself outcasted
and rejected from his society before writing his book and his social
division (varna)
into which a person is born etc..etc....
These teachings (5 000 years old) you are still promoting here in the
3 rd millenium , are archaic ,no longer acceptable or
in use, and don't deserve our attention because they don't help improve
human kind condition, but au contraire mon frere.

I live by the golden rule, I don't like it when people impose their
personal
beliefs on me, so I don't impose mine on them .
This is not an established fact neither . It's still a questionable
theory
..
But I respect your opinion and you're entitled to it.
> Without tolerance and respect,
> man is no better than a four legged animal.
Holy cow! Holy cow ! Holy cow! Don't touch those four legged animals
you're wor****ping. It's an offense to your Gods and you're going to
become
permanently expelled outcaste and thus having no place nor status in
society
for talking this ways to those holy sacred,wothy of
adoration,sanctified.......four legged animals.
Are you aware of what you've just said "man is no better than a four
legged
animal ".
In India, animals haven't deity status and higher social status than
human
and especially
the untouchables ???
You are so incoherent, so contradictory and so inconsistent in your
arguments and judgment .
Why are you demeaning a four legged animal you consider like a God.?
Don't worry about making a living , there is more than one fish in the
ocean , alligator!.
I rest my case .! Bye alligator !!-
