Guest guest Posted January 10, 2005 Report Share Posted January 10, 2005 I am sorry to say this is part of well orchestrated propaganda. Let me point out that this is in line with the pictures taken by interested parties to solicit aid in the 60s and 70s when children will be gathered together and given torn clothes to wear and their body smeared with dirt and the pictures "exported" to west for "aid" that came inside Time and other magazines - illegally. There will be delays in aid to the victims. I know this is not so. This is part of the anti-India propaganda by churlish west because we refused material aid in the form of hand me downs and time expired medicines and time expired food. Anybody is welcome to contribute to the Prime Minister's welfare fund. Because there are castes and communities, it is easy for the westerners to paint a communal picture. Knowing the social milieu in Tamil Nadu pray to what group does the “fishermen” belong? Have you checked that? Are you saying they are forward castes? The article would imply so. It is NOT true!! They are also classified as low castes. Mainly low caste converted Christians. This aspect is conveniently avoided as it will not help the conversion tactics. Did you notice the report comes from "Deutsche Presse-Agentur"?? Look at the falsity of the statements.... "India has an estimated 220 million dalits who are at the bottom of an insidious caste ladder. Once called "untouchables" and still desperately poor, they are not allowed to own land and are compelled to work in degrading jobs as bonded labour, sweepers and manual scavengers who clean toilets and remove dead animals." -- a standard statement forgetting we have had a Dalit President, and Dalit Judges and politicians!! (Conveniently forgotten in the propagandist statements). We also remember Pope's urging "harvesting" of delits. what are Dalits for pope and company? Wheat? Rice? Or what???? "More than 6,000 people died in Tamil Nadu's Nagapattinam district, where dalits were reportedly thrown out of relief camps and forced to eat stale food.” Who gave the report? ppl sitting in comfort in 5 star hotels? Who were not allowed in because of their past actions!! It is admitted that most affected were fishermen. It is also admitted that only 10% of dalits were affected. They are being taken care of. Government does not discriminate. And it is Government that’s taking care of the relief operations. It is not like the charities of a “saint” who discriminates between religions. And who is this Chandran? what is VDS? An investigation will reveal that finding may be Religious Funding Agencies”!! That explains this sudden espousal of “Dalit” causes. Remember the website that indicated this is the right time for conversion? This maybe part of this. These “vultures” swoop down in places of misery to “harvest” as directed by pope. If there is discrimination it is between the low castes and there is no high caste-low caste conflict involved. The very fact that while implying a caste conflict without specifying the castes is just Goebbelsian propaganda. This is just my view. Having worked in India long enough I know how slimy the workings of the converters are. Yes!! We refused material aid and help of disaster tourists. We are not interested in sermonisation by white ignoramuses who does not know what they are talking about. If u do not want to contribute CASH to the relief efforts by the Prime Minister’s relief fund, its OK but stop this propaganda. Pray, who is this Soma? Why is He/She remaining in the background and not coming forth? The reason is obvious. He/she/it does not want to be identified for what he/she/it is. wildrose192003 wrote: <http://www.beliefnet.com> HOME <http://www.beliefnet.com> RELIGIONS <http://www.beliefnet.com/index/index_10000.html> SPIRITUALITY <http://www.beliefnet.com/index/index_200.html> INSPIRATION <http://www.beliefnet.com/index/index_900.html> BELIEF-O-MATIC <http://www.beliefnet.com/story/76/story_7665_1.html> MEDITATIONS <http://www.beliefnet.com/index/index_207.html> This Beliefnet article is being sent to you by Soma: I wish there was a word bad enough to describe behavoir like this, but I don't think one has been invented.
