Casteism is as abominable as communalism. And yet, why is it
that casteism, prevalent since last three millennia, has not been evoking the
kind of repulsion and condemnation that “communalism” stirs up? There have been
countless heinous crimes against the Dalits before and after independence but
the nation has not witnessed any moral revulsion as was in the case of
religious intolerance underscored by the recent “award wapsi” phenomenon
involving over 100 writers, artists, intellectuals and academicians.
