Re: [Goanet]Dalits and Jesuits

[cornel]

Colleagues,
Many thanks for all the info provided re my enquiry on obtaining the Jesuit 
article. Such info should also be of interest to others on Goanet.
In turn, following my continuing interest in caste among the Christians, I 
can recommend, for those interested, the following excellent well referenced 
book:
Massey James (1995) Dalits in India: Religion As A Source of Bondage or 
Liberation with Special Reference To Christians. New Delhi, Manohar Press.
Regards,
Cornel

Abstract (Document Summary)
Recent Hindu-Muslim riots and attacks on Christians are instigated by 
affluent, elite, high-caste Hindus who are trying to expel threats to the 
Brahminic caste system, the Hindu ideology of superiority and inferiority. 
The need for Catholic bishops and priests to solve caste discrimination 
and end prejudice against poor Catholic Dalit villagers is emphasized.
An alternative to buying it would be to refer to it in any large Catholic 
or National Library.  In London it is available at Heythrop College 
(Kensington, W8) and at the British Library (St Pancras NW1)

In my initial post on the subject I had mentioned that
the article "'Dalit' Means Broken" was published in
the Jesuit magazine, America, in the February 14, 2005
issue, and that it was only available on the Internet
to paying subscribers.
The web site is www.americamagazine.org

In many parts of India today the persecution and
oppression of the Dalits, better known as the
Untouchables, is still continuing.
