Pathma,
On your points,
1. It's still not clear as who's the author of that article, re-reading this thread it appears you are referencing your own prior post, what am I overlooking. Also I hope you dig a little deeper into the actual work done by the likes of Savarkar, Nehru & Gandhi in terms of working with oppressed class.
Installing figure-head in some temple just because he's a xyz or putthing a thread around someone is not the answer, atleast IMHO.
2. There's a quote: "Statistics is like a bikini which can reveal a lot but hide the vital parts". One can very easily point to number of deaths (which could be greater than 8000/year if not close) due to second hand smoke and blame those smokers or absence of statuotry surgeon general's warning in ancient scriptures for this.
If there's a "war going on against Dalits", get the state and federal machinery to impose/implement/enforce the law of the land. Politicians like say Jayalalitha per your own words - "(Jayalalitha) can do no wrong in enforcing law" right?
Maybe you NS guys should start directing your ire towards those incompetent politicans.
