A couple of examples of what happens to Dalits:

A Dalit constable went into a temple on a riany day and the Brahmins worshipping there stoned him to death.

A Dalit girl was hit across the eyes and blinded by her teacher for teh ofense of drinking from teh community water pitcher.

All I am doing is stating facts that I know to be true.

Yes, it's quite, umm, apparent. BTW, how is it like in Pakistan these days? Any updates from there? I bet the people are living up to their fullest, like you make it a point to mention, a million or so times here.

Hey,

Have you ever met or seen any Brahmins till date ? lol..

Not to sound insulting or anything, but Brahmins are typically physically weaker compared to rest of Hindus (since they are vegetarian since birth). I doubt if they could organize a “mob” to stone people.

But there are some other non-Brahmin upper caste communities who have that sort of “muscle power” to organize such lynch mobs.

On the other hand, such actions, even if they take place occasionally do not necessarily quantify an entire community. There have been several lynchings in US - by both black and white people. Doesnt mean all whites and blacks are bad.
