Not shocked, but enraged at the murder of Kevin. It exposes the dirty casteist underbelly of Malayalee society; so much of social reform and political consciousness has still not liberated us from the stranglehold of caste. The fact that the several DYFI members have been involved in the abduction and killing reveals how their formation as the cadre of a left revolutionary party has failed to make them progressive, secular and anti-caste.
This is as much a challenge to the Church dominated by the Syrian Christians, which still discriminates against the Dalit Christians, acquiescing in the unwritten code of not encouraging any marital relations between the two communities. It is a greater challenge and shame to the Communist Parties, whose leadership and cadre are all still in the bondage of caste ideology.How many of them are able to reject caste and religion in their personal lives and faith and be real comrades?
We mourn the death of Kevin..and demand that justice is done.
Let all barriers of caste, religion, region, nation and ethnic origin be broken, and let love and sexuality be liberated of those shackles.
