Birth is a beginning…not an end, unlike how the Caste System in Nepal treats it.
If you don't or cannot display compassion and humanity to those around you at this time of desperate need for just that, then you cannot expect compassion and humanity from others living in far off lands!
Any and every injustice against an individual, in the end, is as injustice against every other individual. There are, and can be, no exception!
One Dalit's story of life-long discrimination and humiliation, and struggle for personal recognition for who he is and what he has become through his own efforts lays bare some of the worst aspects of our Caste System.
The spuriousness of the logic behind the Caste System, which considers birth as an end instead of the beginning that it is, and what can be done to eliminate it.
A video of the the presentation I made at four different locations during my April-May 2014 visit to the US. It covers the plight of marginalized groups such as Dalits, women, Tharus and Tamangs both in the country (Nepal) and abroad, and what COMMITTED is doing about it all.
Your birth as anything (class, caste, race, nationality etc.) or with any trait (skin color etc.) considered to be a characteristic of an inferior human being is not shameful. YOU HAD NO CHOICE IN THAT!
It's those that view and interpret that as such and make you suffer for it who are shameful: THEY HAVE A CHOICE IN THEIR VIEW OF, THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS AND THEIR TREATMENT OF YOU!
