I posted the soruces I found, further since you've denied there's at least 730 rapes in india per year I find you're speculation without sources questionable itself.

The fundamental problem is that there ARE dalits, and that there IS a caste system that allows them no upward mobilitiy; which is how the argument got started in the first place.

"I posted the soruces I found"

Which isnt good enough. You even hadn't any idea about the authenticity or origin of the source. The internet is a place where you can find whatever tripe you want to propagate. You picked up those articles because it was there for you and it endorsed whatever theory you want to advance.

"The fundamental problem is that there ARE dalits, and that there IS a caste system that allows them no upward mobilitiy; which is how the argument got started in the first place."

There sure are 'Dalits' but only because they wish to continue calling themselves as such for reasons I have already stated. It doesnt hold them them from upward mobility or else our last President K. R. Narayanan wont have been a "Dalit". (I am still waiting for a non White male President of US). Also our the majority inside our Parliament wont have been "Dalits". Believe me it better to be a "Dalit" in India today. And I dont have to hide behind some dubious article on the net to make my claims. I live in India and I know first hand. If you have doubts then I suggest you come to India and find out for yourself.

"I found, further since you've denied there's at least 730 rapes in india per year "

I asked how do you know they are "Dalits", a victims "cast" is the last thing that will be disclosed. (And the same for the rapist). Cast is rarely mentioned in Indian press.

I will grant you I was wrong about the comment:

"If 2 Dalit women are raped in India every day that in itself will make India a country with the largest number rapes per year,"

Fact is India or any other organisation does not give out any stat on just how many Dalits, Brahmins or Muslims are raped each year. And all Dalit rapes need not be a "castist violence", in fact most rapes are inter-community. Sometimes within the family.
