We the majority

Hindus are 3rd largest population in the world and majorities in India. According to census 80% of Indian population is Hindu. Hindus were the people who lived in Indian subcontinent. They are Hindustanis for Persians. Religion followed by inhabitants of Indian subcontinent was Hinduism, some say it was always Sanatan Dharma. Islam introduced into the country when Turkish and Afghanis intruded India. Christianity came with Britishers. Slowly people of India were conversed and baptized. Some Hindus also change their religion by their own will.  In Hinduism itself, we have different sections of classes. Some are brahmins, some are mahajans, some are dalits etc. From ancient times dalits were called as untouchables. They were the people  who were uneducated and clean houses of others, pick up the rags on roads and sweeps the floors. They were servant. They were not even allowed to enter into the temples which is totally unacceptable. This brought hatred in the hearts of dalits against upper casts. Sometimes one's negligence is based on a reason.  Before 1950 mortality rate was high due to communicable disease. I think untouchability has nothing to do with cast or religion. It arose due to health concerns. As dalits do work related to garbage disposal, upper cast people started keeping distance with them. May be they were worried for their healths. After independence Ambedkar and Mahatma Gandhi empowered dalits by providing them several rights. Which is good. But in this Upper cast completely forgotten. They were projected as villains.What our politicians had to do was to provide education to every citizen. I voice health education here. Poor maintenance of personal hygiene has created tiff between the two subsections of Hinduism. Politicians are happy to create this separation. They inherited this vote bank politics from Britishers. Divide and rule. Make communal statements. Call dalits as weak and poor. Why Couldn't they brought out positivity in this negativity? Why Couldn't they guide dalits to maintain good health and personal hygiene? Why didn't they talk to upper cast and addressed problems of dalits? Poverty has nothing to do with cast. To all those politicians, I must say here many brahmins are also poor. But they never talk about them. Lack of knowledge created this divide. Upper cast's concern for their health was taken as a tool by politicians to do politics in favor of dalits. They never demanded better education for dalits. They never demanded health education for them. I can still see many dalit people are uneducated and running their lives in misery. They do not concern what they are eating and drinking. And surprisingly no one is educating them. Perhaps this won't be the scenario, if we had equal right of education for all from ancient times. Illiteracy and lack of knowledge about sanitation is the main reason behind this class based divide. Instead educating people, many leaders are providing everything free of cost to their respective vote banks. But aren't they playing with the people's health? Their true service would have been if they educate them about their health. Being fools people are happy with this free service. I know this unpopular post will not reach many parts of the country. But I am making an effort to erase this class divide. Speak up, learn more and be in good health.
