Dear Raeekand others, Yes, yes..but I meant no malice toward anyone specifically..but have been trying to critically acknowledge only two things here in the debate so far: 1.The issue of Chithralekha's (as a dalit woman, pitted against many odds and the overall apathy from the HR activists of Kerala) struggle for inclusiveness (in the civil society) , figures less in at least a few of the postings rather than the 'go to hell' like responses, for reasons whatever.( incidently,I believe that it is a typically brahmanic response to any attempt in questioning the prevailing caste- gender sensitivities) 2.Abrupt attempts to excommunicate anybody who tries to raise a minority point of view ,would also need to be identified as originating from the status quoist mode (of relegating real issues to the back and exhibiting petty egos to the fore). Despite finding few to share, I humbly wish to persist. Thanks.
