There are many peoples with the same skill and abilities but they

never get the same benefit of it. This is because of the absolute

law of karma (http://www.awgp.org/gamma/LiteratureEnglish) and the

impartial law of GOD.

Thanking is not so simple. He doesn't like peoples coming done to

temples and enjoying it like a picnic. But he likes people to share

his wealth with the poor and miserable ones.

What will be like our world to become. A place full of selfish and

sins peoples (called as kaliyug). Or a place where all of us live

with love an peace. Where all peoples are provided with equal

wealth, priority. No cast system will be there and all will be

considered as pupils of the same divine power (known as satyug).

Please make sure to be on side of either evil or TRUTH and then

decide your life principles based on that only.

ultimate benefit of contributing your life for the sake of Truth.

Poverty has many faces. Probably one of the worst is the poverty of

love for fellow humans. The worst has to the poverty of love for

fellow humans who follow the same religion, worship the same God and

have the same Spirit within. Who could be tormented and impoverished

more by fellow Hindus in mind, body and soul than 167 million Dalits?

DALIT FACTS

167m people, 16.2% of India's population

Nearly 60% live in Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Bihar, Andhra

Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu states

The lowest rank in Hindu society, beneath the traditional caste

system

Expected to perform the most menial jobs, particularly handling

cadavers and human and animal waste

Physical contact with a Dalit was traditionally considered ritually

polluting for other castes

Even converts to Christianity and Islam have encountered

discrimination from higher-caste converts

 

 

Low-caste Hindus adopt new faith

BBC Saturday, 14 October 2006

 

Thousands of people have been attending mass ceremonies in India at

which hundreds of low-caste Hindus (Dalits) converted to Buddhism

and Christianity.

 

The events in the central city of Nagpur are part of a protest

against the injustices of India's caste system.

 

By converting, Dalits - once known as Untouchables - can escape the

prejudice and discrimination they normally face.

 

The ceremonies mark the 50th anniversary of the adoption of Buddhism

by the scholar Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar.

 

He was the first prominent Dalit - or Untouchable as they were

formerly called - to urge low-caste Indians to embrace Buddhism.

 

As the chief architect of India's constitution, he wrote anti-

discrimination provisions and quota systems into the country's law.

 

But four-fifths of India's Dalits live in often isolated rural

areas, and traditional prejudice has persisted in spite of official

laws.

 

'Cry for dignity'

 

The Dalits arrived by the truckload at a public park in Nagpur for

ceremonies, which began with religious leaders giving fiery speeches

against the treatment of lower castes.

 

Reuters reported that dozens of riot policemen had turned out at the

sprawling park.

 

Albert Lael, of the All India Christian Council, told the BBC that

more than 500 people converted to Christianity and more than 1,000

embraced Buddhism.

 

He said they came from the states of Chattisgarh, Karnataka,

Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Mahasrashtra.

 

Joseph D'Souza, the president of the Dalit Freedom Network and a

Christian convert, described the conversions as a " celebratory

occasion " .

 

" I think it's important to understand that this is a cry for human

dignity, it's a cry for human worth, " he told the BBC.

 

He said that Dalits could seek dignity by converting to

Christianity, Jainism or Sikhism as well as Buddhism.

 

Buddhist convert Dhammachari Manidhamma told the BBC that social

equality was impossible within Hinduism.

 

" Buddha's teaching was for the humanity, and Buddha believed in

equality.

 

" And Hindu religion, Hindu teaching is nothing but inequality.

 

Laws against conversion

 

Similar mass conversions are taking place this month in many other

parts of India.

 

Several states governed by the Hindu nationalist party, the BJP,

have introduced laws to make such conversions more difficult.

 

The states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu have all

passed laws restricting conversions.

 

Gujarat has reclassified Buddhism and Jainism as branches of the

Hindu religion, in an attempt to prevent conversions away from

Hinduism eroding the BJP's bedrock support.

 

Hinduism teaches that most humans were created from parts of the

body of the divinity Purusha.

 

According to which body parts they were created from, humans fall

into four basic castes which define their social standing, who they

can marry, and what jobs they can do.

 

But Dalits fall outside this system and are traditionally prevented

from doing all but the most menial jobs or even drinking from the

same water sources as other castes.
