[stephen]

All I see is a post about lockdown.

Yes, yes it is.

Caste feeling still a huge thing in India today. I mean Yuvi made a casteist remark on a poddy with Rohit recently, joking about Chahal's caste.

 

[Line and Length]

I agree Flem. A great read and thanks to Uppercut for drawing attention to it via his questions.

Damn that was so good

 

[nightprowler10]

That really was an excellent read Teja. Is there any literature you would recommend on this topic?

 

[zorax]

it's almost like Teja was getting so many compliments for that post he decided to go and **** the bed in the mafia game to compensate

 

[harsh.ag]

The first time I paraphrased Ambedkar to my family, they straight up chose to believe it was all a lie.

 

[Teja.]

Thanks everyone, it was a blast writing that up.

np, the book is 'The Untouchables: Who Were They And Why They Became Untouchables ?' by BR Ambedkar. 'Who were the Shudras?' is also of a similar genre.

I recommend a laxative.

Or a trip to Chennai to drink the tap water.

Yeah that post got me to read those books when you first posted it! Thanks for that.

I will say re: his books, there is a lot of conjecture and analysis. He logically extrapolates a lot of things - the man was clearly brilliant and all his conclusions make sense and I tend to believe them, but the historical proof is thin. That’s not his fault - no one has the records so this is the best you can do.

Brilliant work though.

 

[Daemon]

Yeah, you do get the sense while reading the post that not everything can be so seamlessly connected in a chain of events and have a single primary cause for every effect. There is only so much detail and nuance you can incorporate into a summary though, and Teja nailed it.

I found Ambedkar to be very explicit about the assumptions he’s making, to the point where the constant qualifications bog the book down somewhat. I get why he needed to do that, but Teja’s style is more fun to read.
