The questions that Gilbert Lawrence raises, namely:
1. Why does the 'below eluded' hypocrisy exist or need to exist?
2. What are the factors that hold back 'intelligent liberal' Hindus from putting into practice their convictions and principles?
3. If the 'intelligent liberal' Hindus do not provide the leadership with actions / deeds, then who will?
4. The final question from the above! If not now ... then when?
have been something that has been bothering me for some time. It seems to me that there is a lack of social leadership in our society, and that is why many of the problems (like caste) are allowed to fester.
I am afraid I do not have the necessary solutions myself. Of course, this response of mine may appear to be a way of getting away from doing what little I can do. What I think is not happening is that while the intelligent liberal Hindu write lots of articles, etc., on the problem, they do not seem to involve themselves at the grass-root level. And that is why I asked Santosh whether his statement about the intelligent liberal Hindu not backing the public denunciations with private actions. smacks of hypocrisy.
Unless or until the intelligent liberal Hindu makes the necessary sincere efforts, they will allow the politicians to use the caste system for their own self-serving ends.
