The Village - 8

...Did anybody say anything about exploitation of human beings in materialistic western societies?

Frequently, the untouchables had to go to the houses of upper castes and take the leftovers at the gate itself like servile servants or beggars. They moved from house to house and got it wherever it was available; the permanent Varna exploitation in an eternal pious and pure dharma. They were grossly underpaid which forced them to go to the houses of permanent exploiters to beg for food. Sometimes they had to compete for the food directly with animals like dogs and cows in an utterly dharmic manner. The untouchables were required to take out the carcass of dead cows and other animals out of village and throw it at a far away place. However they were forced to eat the meat of the dead cow out of poverty. They could not afford to buy the meat of a butchered goat. This was the meat of a cow that was not butchered or slaughtered but the one that had died due to old age or some kind disease. It came for free. And for this they had to compete with the vultures and kites; a grand and predestined event.

Of course Varna dharma does not know anything about humanity. Why should it?

The atrocities against the untouchables were not very infrequent even when they did not know anything except permanent and humiliating servility. The sword of atrocity was always hanging over their heads. And whoever dared to go against the confirmed rules of the dharmic society was punished severely along with his jati people in that particular area. The Hindu society does not differentiate much between a man and his jati. A man is judged according to his heredity group. The crime of man from one of the lowest jati is the crime of his jati; the punishment is collective with an aim to teach an sustainable cruel lessons to these people. Actually the unsafe and insulted untouchables have faced a Goonda Raj (goons’ rule) for 2500 years; a small period of jubilation for the cruel upper castes; they earnestly desired it to be interminably extended. The more the atrocities were committed on untouchables, the more pious were the upper castes and more was the dharmic content of the society. This is the beauty of caste system. Commiting atrocities, is a finely devised way to increase the dharmic contents of the society. The ghastly details are left to those who play like instruments into the hands of lawmakers...
