To those who say caste is only about preference
To those who justify that caste is only a cultural preference and not┬аdiscrimination.
Who justify that this is only about someone who also prefers sambar without garlic, and is┬аnot deep-rooted bigotry.
Justify┬аthat your preference for caste has not resulted in the murder of so┬аmany men and women by their own families, just because they chose┬аto marry out of their family caste.
Justify that the same preference for caste has┬аnever had any Dalit woman paraded naked, sexually assaulted and┬аkilled.
Justify that your preference for caste has not┬аkept so many people for so many centuries without access to jobs,┬аwelfare, economic benefits, sanitation, and other basic needs.
Justify that this preference for caste is not the reason┬аbehind the death of a young man today just because he had a ringer tune┬аthat┬аthe upper caste were not able to digest.
Justify that your preference┬аfor caste has not made many children die of malnutrition.
Justify all┬аthese!
It is easy for someone from privileged communities┬аto pass discriminatory comments in the name of preference and┬аalso place the complete burden on the oppressed community to prove and┬аjustify that this is not discrimination.
We have justified on┬аmany forums enough times.
We won’t anymore.
You justify all┬аthe questions we have for you and then ask us for justification.
Preference for a certain caste is definitely discriminatory and
unconstitutional.
We will continue to call out this discrimination!
And we don’t need any justification to call out this form of┬аdiscrimination that has been oppressing people for so many centuries┬аnow.
This post first appeared on one of the Orinam online forums as part of a discussion on caste as preference.
