MANY QUESTIONS REMAIN UNANSWERED RELATING TO INCLUSION OF CONVERTED INTO DALITS

Why would those who converted from Hinduism to Islam and Christianity want to be classified as ‘Dalit’, when it was the Scheduled Caste status in the Hindu religious and social order what made them to convert in the first place? In fact, the strongest argument to convert from Hinduism to any religion under the sun was that Hinduism was riddled with castes and the “lowest of the low”, the Scheduled Castes, had been literally kept at arm’s length from the born Hindu upper castes, including from all the benefits that accrue to the Hindu upper caste newborn.

NARENDRA MODI SEEKS TO CONVERT THE NATION AS A BJP GROUND IN GLOBAL ARENA

MAKING THE PARTY’S POLL SYMBOL LOTUS AS G-20 LOGO IS NOTHING BUT LOW POLITICS
