Didn't happen, Barry.
Made up out of whole cloth from the inner depths of your imagination.
And, indeed, if it WERE true, shame on you for not calling the
police and reporting these guys (you could have at least done it on
leaving your position there and done it anonymously).
For a couple of bucks, you can download and own the Bollywood classic
"Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar" about the untouchable who came to be a
drafter of the Indian constitution, a bodhisattva and scholar. It's
also a poignant reminder of our own caste system here in North
America. In one of the films most shocking scenes, Ambedkar, who is
visiting America, witnesses a black man being beaten by whites, as if
he were an animal. While Brahmins are very proud to tout their birth
status, other lower caste Hindus I've met in this country are
offended that anyone in America would even mention "caste". They're
greatly offended if someone asks them their caste. And many non-
Brahmins will refuse to tell you.
Vedic supremacists are developmentally no different than their
fundamentalist southern/Bible belt Republican counterparts. Same
level of consciousness.
