I have seen that many people are so casteist, that they cannot see or recognize someone who is not a casteist. For their eyes, every and all behaviour is casteist behaviour or comes for a root cause which is then somehow linked to the person's caste.
May be to see a non-casteist, there must be a hint of non-casteism in the beholder him/herself. In other words, at least a bit of an open mind... regards, Samir Kelekar --- cornel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >Hi Santosh, >I am not clear as to exactly what you are asking in >your question.

I am wondering whether this in itself cannot be regarded as a casteist generalization. I think a true anticasteist would be completely blind to caste. S/he would never refer to anybody's caste, and never stereotype anybody based on his/her caste. S/he would never attribute by generalization any kind of limitation or behavioral trait, such as the inability to become an anticasteist, to any person, by referring to the fact that s/he belongs to a particular caste, and by virtue of it.
