Caste Massacres - India

March 1999
In the eastern Indian province of Bihar, hundreds of villagers have been butchered as an army of lower caste Dalits unleash their fury on their feudal rulers and as the upper castes retaliate.

In the village of Narayanpur the brutalized bodies of men, women and children lie slumped where they were slain. They were victims of the Ranvir Sena, a private upper caste army. For the Sena this is a fight to preserve the centuries old way of life they believe is their birthright. "We kill whomever we see," Sena's young fighters tell us. The local landlord is unflinching in his support. "When we kill the men, their wives and children lead more miserable lives, so it is better to relieve them of their miseries too." In this state where caste hatred infects everything, Dalit election successes may deliver more spilt blood rather than progress.

We all Hindu need to follow religion , we all need to be feel proud to born in Hindu, not feel proud by cast, because of cast is determine by god, not by us. so we need to be united. If we feel proud of cast>>> i mean lower cast or height cast.....there no cast for the GOD, If we still follow wrong path than we are not follow deeply our Hindu duty. By the way I am also Brahman...but i never think about my cast...I always feel proud of being Hindu. So please be united and fight against Adharma...

If a religion makes us ANIMALS it ceases to be religion.

We need to protect our Dalit brothers and sisters of India.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make the violent revolution inevitable.
