Oxy-moron

let me Highlight other side ,The quint seems to have opinion that's otherwise

Oxy-moron

They also raise interesting point that caste is not exclusively to Hinduism... Like say Pakistan is caste ridden society too... Well as far as i am concerned, i see assymertical targeting of specific community by state and state owned academic apparatus... it's rather Strange to me that America wants anticaste amendment to protect lower castes while it keeps ignoring the fact that pagans aren't in protected category against abrahamic barbarity on natives of pagan civilization of America....as long as they make protection laws for pagans against abrahamic barbarity in similar manner i think i might be cool with it..

Meanwhile Many Hindus see state defining and shoving down some interpretation what Hinduism is a balant violation of secularism and thus depriving Hindus their right to religious freedom and religious liberty in judicial and social spheres .. State defining religion for might lead to Hindus being harassed by the system and society around them...

Oxy-moron

Many non casteist Hindus are of opinion that State shouldn't get to define Hindu religion For Hindus as it it would be pushing very specific version of religion ignoring the the fact that most Americans don't confine to religious codes State of California is looking into for coming up with some conclusion (i mean the manusmriti like books from which state of California derives it's opinion also has codes that Bramhins would lose bramhinhood if they go overseas, and that they treated as out-castes...so as Indian hindutva Hindu it would be interesting how California solves hindu religious jargon

Oxy-moron

To me both Cisco and baps cases have emerged in very coordinated way to highlight casteism which seems fine if there is genuine systemic case for casteism in American Hinduism... recently state of California has gone foreward to legalize caste as strict religious hierarchy in Hinduism... many Hindus Americans are of opinion that there's no systemic caste based discrimination amongst american diaspora....if there's any discrimination current Constitional protocols shall be sufficient to give opressed justice ..

Though this got more sophisticated especially after The California textbook controversy, sophistication sweetens venom,lot of visual grammar is still being deployed to make case against Hinduism in assymertical fashion... book still discuss Caste system in Hinduism , it's impact on Dalits is discussed,and Sikhs got to make case how their Guru rejected caste (mind u Guru also rejected Islamic slavery but Sikhs didn't make case their, they also didn't mention Sikh guru despite rejecting caste kinda acted in casteist ways...none of sikh guru is dalit... Ambedkarite have made buddha a new age sjw guy despite the fact that Buddhism wasn't as anticaste organization.. Buddhist do believe in rebirth similar to hindu reincarnations,they also believe in karmna andll hold all tool to make up a case for caste..do u know all Buddha's human rebirth are either as bramhin or as kshtriya.......unlike Hindu American foundation,i don't mind associating Hinduism and it's relationship with caste.. it's quite fair for me to point out that role of abrahamic religions and their role in propogating slavery , their role on annihilation of polytheist pagan civilizations .. it feels weird that USA dosen't wanna discuss relationship between slavery despite the fact that once case to successfully legitimize slavery in USA was based on Bible

Also there's systemic hate campaign against Hindus in west... thing is it's not in general public but academia.. that's why hindutva intelligent or zombified goes after western academia and western media

Oxy-moron

Even if there's link with BJP how does it matter in this context? I don't think BJP has contribution to slavery,if anything BJP govt happens to be Govt that has largest lower caste representation in entire history of independent India...

Oxy-moron

Also what's wrong in donating for a ram temple....is that bad compared to say muslim organization donating for Kaaba? How so?

Oxy-moron

Now i don't deny possibility that there actually might be slave trafficking but i wish to look for more than vague evidence...... considering Al Jazeera and NYT are covering it too...such vague articles puts their legitimacy to shame...1 man died but no details,3 people dead after returning to India.. again no details... this is state of glorious western journalism...does nothing except regurgitation of self inflicted narratives to justify their biases

Oxy-moron

Also those artisans people are coming to US again for 20 years for period over few months..in modern times we are witnessing a very new kind slave, that could change meaning of slavery all by itself.. this new age come again and again for Same work out of his will, even if he's set free...

Oxy-moron

The people who work their are not exclusively Dalits..are they?? If you go by al jazeera..They are not even from one religion(although it misses the fact that swaminarayan sect has non Hindu followers too)... Then how would you establish casteism?? most of artisans traditionally hace been from shudra community so it's their traditional profession which might also end up being their choice for whatever sociocultural or socioeconomic reason....it would be same even if u try to build a church or mosque in India... there's lot of caste influence on society even if people aren't sad reality.... it's like complaining why are there so many jews in Hollywood... BAPS by the way has "Dalits" on top positions too

Oxy-moron

I don't deny Hinduism is casteist religion but Swaminarayan sect actually is one of earliest sects in Hinduism to reject caste and history of working to annihilate caste atleast to some level, like revoking Restrictions on temple visits,or eating with lower castes (though extent of these claims could well be argued)...also labour is indeed considered service.. it's called sharmadaan

Oxy-moron

Guys please try to steelman my people so other side is represented and you don't appear dumb and skewed in cases like BAPS... I don't see single piece of investigative journalism in here..just buzzwords
