When Christian upper caste Christians thrust human excreta in Hindu
Dalits Mouths for walking in the street with footwear, media and
pseudo-Dalit leadership look the other way. But a fact finding team
exposes this here.

Rev Flimmy Iyer is a representative of the Upper Cashutu Christians. His people are very powerful and influential, and that is why cOps and Dalit Christians will keep quiet.

This news may be sensational, but there is no question there is plenty of casteism among SI Christians- I know in TN it is still prevalent, and I speak up about it..every chance I get and condemn it.

how do you know that "there is plenty of casteism among SI Christians?" you say, "I know in TN it is still prevalent." in that case, you should only say, "there is plenty of casteism among TN Christians."

Cyclotran Sir ji:

Let me use your latest gay friend's style of argument:

When you were born there was only one Madras State and that stretched all of SI. Tamil Nadu is just an alternate name for Madras State. The Name Madrasi refers to all Southies, and similarly TN refers to all of Madras State.

So Maria madam ji is correct.

It is the upper caste Christians who forced a dalit Hindu to eat $shit. So these folks practice this virulent form of casteism across religious categories.

if i search hard enough, i too will find strong evidence that my ancestors were brahmins. i think i already know. they were brahmins once. under ashoka's rule they became buddhists. later when hinduism got revived, they were forced to accept a lower status, kshatriya, during conversion, because their khap panchayat refused to give them the brahmin certificate for one of their voter id cards was missing -- their doggy moti had eaten it up.

nothing to laugh about. it torments me that i am a kshatriya and not a brahmin. i got traumatized even more when i find traces in my genealogy that suggest that i might not even be kshatriya. What a Face but i have leaned to gloss over them.

kshatriyas had money and power. Here is an example from the Satapatha Brahmana i.3.2.15 : the Ksatriya, whenever he likes, says, 'Hello Vaisya, just bring to me what thou has stored away.' Thus he both subdues him and obtains possession of anything he wishes by dint of his very energy.

Oh if it bothers you, you should take comfort in the "role" of a brahmin... seeking, acquiring and disseminating knowledge. By that criterion, you are certainly one of them.

here's my personal experience: i have never known my caste or my family's caste. ours was not a special case. the men and women who married my parents' siblings had no caste, and had no knowledge of their castes either. i do not know of any marriage in my extended family in which caste was a criterion; it couldn't have been because none of them had one.

then there was no casteism in your family. you should stop extrapolating it to the whole of the syrian christian community in kerala. i think you owe us an apology.

you mean arundhati roy (who you admire) and amath kurian are not syrian christians or part of your family?

A very interesting link, HK. In the few years I spent at Madras Christian College I did observe strong cliquish behavior among syrian christians, most of whom had a pronounced mallu accent. [JM professes to have no such accent but that might be (I am surmising) due to his prolonged stay in Tamil Nadu, particularly in an educational setting.] Many of them had a superior attitude about themselves --might be because of their casteism or classism--over other Tamil christians on campus. I have also observed similar behavior from JM towards Maria.

at my workplace there's a syrian christian guy in middle management that most of his ppl dislike. he has the same snooty attitude exhibited by the diapered virile 1 dungee here - wont make eye contact with or ack other desis, shuns ppl working for him like he's a medieval little lord fauntleroy , acts like he's running the company single handedly etc all with no good reason. I concluded that from that sample that all syrian christians are douches. this is in accordance with the douchemun method, rubber stamped by the great observer phlegmy.

you spent some years living in a hall of residence at mcc, but are unable to cite a single instance of caste-based behaviour among the syrian christians! you should examine yourself to better understand the "superior attitude" that you imagined.

moreover, this thread is about caste oppression in thamizh nadu. may i suggest that you discuss it with maria?

You have written about your caste at length on old CH. You can pretend that it is something other than caste, but if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck.

GC,
It's all over SI and in TN and it's not just Madurai..it's Tirunelveli, Kanyakumari, Chennai, Vellore..you name it- caste-subcaste superiority is "reality"..anyone who denies this is- has to be "detached from reality".

*This is not about *some special individual Christians- families/personal experiences and how wonderful we think they are (mine is as wonderful as it gets with fabulous history- when it comes to caste relations!) BUT, anyone who is honest will acknowlege it exists on so many levels..it is obvious- blatant in some places, it is subtle in others (as in marriage alliances..just go to any Indian Christian matrimonial website and check it out..how many are particular and how many are not)..
*To this day we have "self-segregation" when it comes to many Churches..based on caste. *English Churches I must say..are not so bad.
*Church elections and politics - big elections like Bishops..I will challenge anyone to go and see who votes for who. Nadars vs. Dalits vs. other castes/subcastes.
*Of course there is also Tamil Christians vs. Malayalee Christians..a prime example would be CMC Hospital in Vellore.I could go on..
*In the *US..in big cities..it's Tamil Christian Churches/Fellowships..and Malayali Christians and their own Churches/Fellowships..(*certainly language in Church services is an understandable components)..but there is not too much mingling between our communities (with exceptions).

I wish all of the above was not true..and there was no need to make caste anymore..and not sure if that will happen in my lifetime

I don't give a shit about the title of the thread (are you now the title nazi in addition to being a pathetic blue pencil nazi?) since I was responding to HA on his link. As for being able to cite a single instance of caste-based behavior among the syrian christians, you are the prime example of it. If you have the guts, run a poll and see if you aren't a casteist. As for the superior attitude, the person who needs introspection the most is you.

Totally irrelevant. Run a poll and see if you aren't a syrian christian casteist.

*In the *US..in big cities..it's Tamil Christian Churches/Fellowships..and Malayali Christians and their own Churches/Fellowships..(*certainly language in Church services is an understandable components)..but there is not too much mingling between our communities (with exceptions).

I wish all of the above was not true..and there was no need to make caste anymore..and not sure if that will happen in my lifetime

Good details, Maria. Yes, those matrimonial sites!

entirely relevant because very few have the experience that you do, living with syrian christians. and that experience - lasting some years - disproves your contention that syrian christians engage in caste-based behaviour.

these syrian christians are like endangered species, man. you need to go into their lairs, watch them from a distance without making sudden movements, learn to eat like them with hind legs, speak their special language and slowly be accepted into the group. any sudden movement and they scamper away into their dark underground lairs and you cannot observe or interact with them. GC is the jane goodall of syrian christians. he should write a book and produce a NATGEO documentary

Here is some evidence of caste-based behavior exhibited by Syrian Christians. Go to the website http://christian.matrimonialsindia.com/christian-syrian-christian-groom/ and look at the profiles that show up. All the people there list their religion as "Christian" and caste as "Christian Syrian." Several of them specify the caste of their "ideal partner." Feel free to ignore this evidence if it makes you angry, upset, or both.

You are right. I did spend a number of years on MCC campus where I lived with a host of syrian christians, some of whom are still close friends of mine.

My personal observation with many syrian christians is a definite superior attitude based on their caste, no different from what I have observed among many brahmins. To completely deny the existence of such behavior is absolutely ridiculous. To say that you don't have such members in your family is one thing. But to deny its very existence within the syrian christian community is something else.

in other words, he booted you out of his office when you started a conversation with him about "fleshlights" and "cleveland steamers?"

phlegmy, how many times have you watched videos of the fleshlights & cleveland steamers since you looked it up on urban dictionary?

on the other Syrian christian douche (not you) I dont interact with that douche except during customer meetings or dinners but his reputation precedes him like bad curry smell.

Syrian christians, jews, parsis, jains, sikhs and even buddists were overwhelmed by indian caste system. These groups had hundreds or thousands of years time to practice their no caste religions but all of them failed to ezcape the gravity forces of caste system.
New experiments like islam, christianity never had a chance to escape the strangle hold.
Even social experiments like arya samaj, socialists and even communists get taken in by the everlasting force of caste system.
One of the most clever uses of casteism is displayed by ysr, former ap cm. He was a staunch christian but performed hindu idol worship. He was also the godfather, benefactor of hindu reddy community. He was able to combine dominant hindu reddy leadership with christian sc (mala) community. His son jagan mohan reddy is now poised to win ap cm with the same combination.
It is futile to resist. There is no powerful force in indian culture than caste system.
