You may or may not be aware of the fact that I was born a caste Hindu. One 
slightly higher in the food chain than some and lower than the demigods. So I 
know ALL I ever needed to know about caste Hindus and their sordid  but 
not-so-secret ways.


And Bengalis had nothing to do with it, even though I have many fine and close 
Bengali friends who have told me of their Hindu baggage, which I have no doubt, 
is much heavier and more soiled than the kharkhowa caste-Hindus', and does not 
make it lighter or cleaner even if it was brought  out in the open in vivid 
colors by the Naxals and assorted 'leftists'., however vile they might seem to 
the children of the superior gods.
























C'da,
 
Just one question out of curiosity. You mentioned in one of your emails that 
you were living in West Bengal before you left India. Did you pick up your 
allergies towards caste hindu/hindutwa and all the associated ideas over there. 
I understand that Naxalism was just beginning to take root there at that time. 
Seems you are caught in that time wrap and your present ideas have its 
foundation from what you saw or experienced?
 
Regards,
Sandip
