The Wheel's Turning
Dalits who bloodied their hands for Hindutva last year are turning to the Buddha
"When they need us to kill the Muslims, they ask us to shout 'Garv se kaho hum Hindu hain!' Once their dubious purpose is served, we are once again reminded that we are Dalits, the untouchables. Last month, five members of a Dalit family committed suicide at Rampir Tekra in Ahmedabad, compelled by starvation, but not a single saffron cap came to see their dead bodies. I will convert to Buddhism at the first opportunity."
