Pure goats and pure mares (a letter)

by MUKUL DUBE

Some people say that Dalits are made different for reasons of caste. Others say that they are set apart by something like race.

My view is that if only “Caste Hindu” men had not sexually exploited Dalit women, Dalits would have been *a different species*. Elephants don’t fuck hippos, do they?

There is a well known sexual “perversion” called bestiality, which involves humans copulating with goats and pigs and so on. That, however, is “clean”: it does not require purification with Ganga water or other “holy” fluids like cow’s piss.
