Who are 'you guys' ? I am interested in knowing. Is it me or is it Viren oris it all 500 members of IF. or is it all 1 billion INDIANS. The problem with this kind of generalization is that no one person will ever accept responsibility for the acts of a mysterious ' you guys'. There is only one answer to this . it is individual responsibility for the acts of each individuaL. Having established individual responsibility for the acts of the individual, pl. do not exempt some individuals (dalits) simply because of their caste affiliation. Once you have the concept of individual responsibility,there are no ifs and buts. The individual is reponsible for the act regardless. If for example it is proven beyond a shadow of adoubt that the Kanchi acharya committed the murder he is alleged to have committed there should be no excuses just as there should be no excuse for a dalit committing acrime ( i am just a poor dalit I should be dealt with leniently).
