We are RACISTS..
It was with great pain I read a news item on a young boy being rejected admission ins a college in Madurai because he has leucoderma ( depigmentation of skin). P.Ayappan was at first given admission and stayed for a night at the hostel. But his mother was asked to take him away.
Reason? Other students'parents did not want their wards to mix with Ayappan.
One (half0 dalit boy of 25 years eloped with a girl from the Backward Caste. Since then they have never been able to live in peace. He gets death threats everyday. He was even kidnapped by her father's goons and tortured. His head was tonsured and he was beaten black and blue!!
Reason: casteism
A young Rwandan student lies in coma having been ragged and beaten by the sons of a police officer and other VIPs in Punjab.His father is still seeking justice and the Indian government is not being of much help. If this had happened to a white boy would it be the same treatment?
When something happens to an Indian abroad why do we raise a hue and cry?
In the first case a physiological disease was the reason while in the second and third it was a diseased mind!!
AND WE CALL OTHERS RACISTS. LET US LOOK WITHIN!!
