No need to be sorry about 'differing', Ranjit :) That's the spirit of debate. It's pretty much boring to 'debate' with people who have the same opinion :)
Maybe you are right in saying that Dalits are sometime tortured by labeling them as 'Naxalite'. But still, there is no 'stereotyping' of Dalits as violent, right? That's why they needed to label them as 'Naxalites' in the first place. By the way, the killers of Dalits in Khailranji were not upper castes but OBCs. Here is a real stereotype - all upper castes are thought to be Dalit oppressors (by the 'intelligentsia', at least) and all Dalit tormentors are upper castes. This is not true in many places, a classic example is our neighboring state Tamilnadu. Best regards, Murali.
