Caste and Jati

"We are lucky India has majority rural still .
And caste . That binds them together .
If they were individuals they would be easy to break, dissipate and destroy.

The ONLY power the village have is their community . What other collective power they have ?
Some urban activist gathering them under "peasant" !
or "agri worker"
I have never met a authentic "left" ever in my life .
Who has thought through industrialism and modernity. "

Aparna Krishnan See it as communities. Do you beleive in communities, with their bondings, and their gods and their customs, and their traditional skills and livlihoods ?

Aparna Krishnan If you do, then validate that. And question the supression of any community, if so.
