Question

Pg 31 of chapter 3 Under Let Us debat :

Some Dalit groups decided to participate in the UN Conference

Against Racism in Durban in 2001, demanding the inclusion of caste

in the agenda of this conference. Here are three reactions to this move:

Amandeep Kaur (a government official): Our Constitution declares

caste discrimination to be illegal. If some caste discrimination

continues, it is an internal matter. I am opposed to this being raised in

an international forum.

Oinam (a sociologist): I am opposed to this because caste and race are

not similar divisions. Caste is a social division, while race is a biological

one. Raising caste in this conference on racism would mean equating

the two.

Ashok (a Dalit activist): The argument about internal matter is a

way of preventing open discussion of oppression and

discrimination. Race is not purely biological. It is as much a legal

and sociological category as caste. Caste discrimination must be

raised in this conference.

Which of the three opinions do you agree with most and why?
