Justice Katju: "The dalit agitation and Indian youth."
A lot of hullaballo has been created by our youth on the campuses of our educational institutes and elsewhere in support of dalits, after the suicide of a dalit boy in Hyderabad.
However, I believe this sympathy for dalits to be skin deep.
The test for a non dalit to prove that he/she is really above caste is this : are you willing to marry a dalit ?
I received fb messages from dalit girls who were highly qualified saying that they had been dating non dalit boys for several years, but when it came to marriage, the boy backed out, saying his parents were totally opposed to it.
I also received a fb message from a dalit girl in an engineering college, who said that the non dalit girls ostracize dalit girls, avoid them and look down on them.
That is one reason why i have a poor opinion of Indian youth. Most of them are utterly selfish and unpatriotic. All their 'patriotism' disappears once they land a cushy job
