Essay / If untouchability lives, Hinduism must die - 932
India is a pure land where the gods reside in the magnificent plains of the Ganges, including the enchanting ones of the Himalayas. The assumption that Dalits, also known as untouchables, are different from normal individuals is infecting the country. Imagine one day a person asks someone their name and then asks if they are a Dalit. What would the person's reaction be? Such a question would offend not only the upper class but also the Dalits. Dalits have not committed any sin, have they? Doesn't the Dalit have the same red blood as a Brahmin (priests or teachers, highest caste in India)? Does he not suffer the same pain as any Brahmin if they both find themselves in the same situation? Why do we distinguish between Brahmins and Dalits? Why are Brahmins placed at the top and Dalits at the bottom? Why is there such segregation among people when they should all be the same? Once MP Gandhi, the father of the country, said: “If untouchability lives, Hinduism must die.” » I would like to qualify this statement by MP Gandhi. Gandhi was against those people who thought that the untouchables were different from the normal citizens of the nation and treated them inappropriately. Gandhi believed that Hinduism had the power to remove these thoughts from these thinkers and also to remove the entire concept from the earth. This quote can be seen with different perspectives. In this essay, I examine it from the perspective of MK himself as well as other major perspectives. Is it Hinduism that gave birth to Dalits and if so does it have the power to uproot them from its roots? It is people's mentalities that lead to untouchability. The hypothesis is that Hinduism gave its followers the opportunity to be a better party...... middle of paper ......ar toli (a small settlement separated from the village for Dalits (workers leather).
