A close look at the Orissa 'Dalit' Panos
Unlike most other SC castes, which have ritually low occupations
such as cleaning toilets or leather working, the Panos dont have these ritually 'unclean' occupations
So how did they end up as untouchables
The answer is they made their livelihood by thievery and fraud and other adharmic occupations, the british even labeled them a criminal caste
--
I watched the U-tube, videos, and where many of the xtian 'pana' were
being interviewed
What struck me was their facial looks were more OBC than SC and they were all extremely slimy smooth-talkers, ( very un-SC like )
--
Next anomaly,
Usually when a caste converts to xtianity, they all convert to one sect of
xtianity, and the pastors are usually upper caste, while the flock is mostly SC
In the U-tube videos, I find the panos have converted to a dozen xtian sects and there are several Pano Pastors
What is happening is that the Panos are gaming the xtian missionaries
By keeping dividing the pano conversions among the various xtian sects,
they are able to get money from all the xtian sects
