I only commenting on the last sentence, especially the "those affected
get due process".

You are talking about India, right?

Who are the largest group of people being affected, day in day out, in
India?

The outcast.

What type of "due process" are they getting?

Nada, nothing, zilch.

They just live on the street, die on the street. And people just walk
by, as if these outcasts do not exist.

And again, we are talking about India, right?

Why shift the focus?

We are talking about India, right?

The people in India who are affected, right?

That they would get "due processed", right?

What? You don't even see those living on the street?

Or ... to you, Mr. Rajah, those are not "people", ie, they are not
"Human Beings" ?

When was the last time these "non-people" get any attention?

The so-called upper castes - brahmins in particular.

> The outcast.

Indeed. Every brahmin or other caste Hindu I know, now feels like an
outcast in Modern India, and wants to emigrate. For they have been
subjected to unjustified and systematic vilification for decades -
from the media, the academia, govt. politicies, novelists, and of
course the foreign interests.

> What type of "due process" are they getting?

The foreign embassies have bee pretty kind, on the whole. So there is
a diaspora. The upper castes are leaving as fast as they possibly
can. I am one of them, a lucky one indeed.

> Nada, nothing, zilch.

Less than that, actually, from the hate-filled lower caste politicians
and their hangers-on.

Not true, now. Yes it did happen when Churchill starved 3-4 million
Bengalis to death, and those images are still vivid.

> And again, we are talking about India, right?

Of course, of course.

Brahmins, or Brahmins !

If you leave India, what would India become ?

For thousands of years, you Brahmins are the torch bearers of the
Indian civilization. It was you who led and fed the simple peoples.

Without you, what would India become?

India needs you.

Those hateful Hindus don't know that.

Without them, India will become stronger.

But without you Brahmins, India will sink into chaos and mayhem.

Just like what have happened to Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Well that is all very nice. There are still plenty of brahmins left
in India. When they get their just due everyone will gain.
If instead Indians continue to believe in the lies the foreign
scoundrels have taught them about Brahmins and Hinduism (and the
cowardly,mean, corrupt and bootlicking Indians including those of
brahmin descent absorbed and made personal gains from) then what else
for Indians, but Kodas etc. on the one hand, or continuation of
foreign rule?

True Indians are the dark skin.
Fair skin Indians are from Central Asia.

Indians still practise matriarchship. Indian Hindu women have to pay
dowry to their husband family.
This is like women buying husbands.
India has caste system. So how can they progress?

The only advantage is the Westminster system. But hard luck, they
prefer now to have a woman president with skirt over them.
So how can they see the sunlight?

So for China to be peaceful, China has to appoint a male president to
do 'wu wei'. Or change the top line of 1st hexagram to 'wu wei' dragon
has cause for prosperity.
