"..There is a civic decorum that democratic life demands we share, and the
media is as much a party to this compact. But when the media presents such
photos without comment, and agrees to treat a section of the Indian
citizenry as little more than animals to be hunted, one wonders what the
democratic contract is all about - perhaps it is a lovely fiction that we
all like to invoke when struggles for equality and justice turn violent; and
which we allow ourselves to forget when we feel triumphant over our
political opponents or when we wish to endorse those who are clearly enemies
of the people, as in the Bhopal case.."

You cannot build anything on the foundations of caste. You cannot build up a
nation, you cannot build up a morality. Anything that you will build on the
foundations of caste will crack and will never be a whole.
