caste system

Is organised religion predisposed to discrimination?

In this episode, The Bearded Mystic Podcast discusses the wisdom of Sree Narayana Guru Ji. He was a teacher of Advaita Vedanta and a social reformer who expressed the unity of all faiths and spoke against the caste system.

Each year, Yulin in the Guangxi province of China catches the worlds attention for its dog meat festival, and receives harsh criticism. Closer home, activists have been trying to ban the dog meat among the tribes of Nagaland, even though the tribes enjoy protection under section 371A of the constitution. This week, we travel back in time, browse through the Manumriti and the Upanishads, discover the connections between dog eating and caste, and why we must not judge people for their food choices.

Always outspoken against the patriarchy, in 1974 at age 11 Phoolan Devi is considered a trouble-maker. She is married off and sent several hundred miles away from her home in Ghura Ka Purwa, India. By age 17 she escapes her abusive husband and joins a gang of dacoits. She eventually forms her own gang and carries out Robinhood-type crimes.

In 1981, she survives an attack by rivals who beat, rape, and leave her for dead. She seeks revenge by executing her attackers in what comes to be known as the Behmai Massacre, and she is forced to go on the lam. But now she’s become a heroic outlaw figure of sorts—the underdog, the Bandit Queen— and she is protected by the lower castes. To many poor and brutalized women, Phoolan is a hero.

Ken welcomes veteran of the film and entertainment distribution business, Dave Mechem. Their careers have run in parallel lines - including some collaboration and lots of mutual encouragement. The two friends walk through those projects: the feature film NOT TODAYabout India's caste system, human trafficking and the plight of the Dalits that has led them both into a serious commitment to racial reconciliation. Other films include Drop Box, Emanuel Nine, Unbroken - Path to Redemption, Same God (the Larycia Hawkins story), Just Mercy (Bryan Stevenson's commitment to those on death row falsely convicted), Harriet (the civil rights icon, Harriet Tubman) and now, Redeeming Love. Dave shares the emotional moment he knew racism is real, and it's time to act. They talk about Journey Church, and their new teaching pastor, Mike Erre.

SHOW NOTES

EDITION #98

America has been shaped by a hidden phenomenon that touches all of our lives. A rigid hierarchy of human rankings, or caste system, influences our culture, politics, and even our health. Race is the metric by which one’s position in the caste system is determined. In her book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontents, Isabel Wilkerson describes how these inherited rankings have been passed down through generations from the country's very founding. She says this system is the underlying architecture of division in America. She speaks with Elizabeth Alexander, president of the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.

Caste System

The rigid Hindu system of hereditary social distinctions based on castes.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-35650616

Colorism

Prejudice or discrimination against individuals with a dark skin tone, typically among people of the same ethnic or racial group.

Although India faces numerous challenges – a huge population, rising unemployment, growing environmental vulnerabilities – there is general agreement that, despite many odds, democracy has not only survived but is now firmly entrenched in the social and political fabric of the country. 

In recent months, however, the country has been rocked by nationwide protests following the enactment of the Citizen Amendment Act in December 2019. 

And then Covid struck. 

On the 24th of March, Prime Minister Modi announced that the country was going into a three-week lockdown. The sheer scale of this nationwide lockdown affecting 1.3 billion people, was unprecedented. 

In subsequently extending the lockdown beyond the initial 3 weeks, the Prime Minister noted: “India didn’t wait for the problem to escalate. Instead, as soon as the problem appeared, we tried to stop it by making swift decisions. I can’t imagine what the situation would have been had such quick decisions not been taken”.

In the initial weeks and months, the lockdown appeared to be working well but once it was gradually lifted, there was a surge in Covid cases. 

And many within India remain worried that the country’s healthcare system may not be able to tackle a crisis of such magnitude. 

But there is also growing evidence of how India has radically stepped up its Covid-testing capacity. And last year, an ambitious new health insurance plan was launched – the Ayushman Bharat Yojana, which aims to provide free health coverage to large groups in the country, 

Joining me to discuss India’s Covid response, health insurance policies, center-state relations in the country’s federal set-up, the role of political parties in promoting development and reducing poverty, and much much more is Mr. Tathagata Sathpathy. 

Tathagata Satpathy served four terms as Member of Parliament, representing the Dhenkanal constituency of the state of Orissa (also known as Odisha). Until recently, he was a member of the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) political party and was the party’s chief whip in the Lok Sabha – the lower house of the Indian parliament. In addition to being a politician, Mr. Satpathy is the owner and editor of the daily Odia newspaper, Dharitri, and the English daily, Orissa Post.

The new paradigm is here, and it means you have every right to be wildly financially supported. It's your life, and you can live it the way YOU want to!
