Banning of users promoting caste discrimination and hatred In looking at the IP address of few users involved in promoting racial (caste) hatred in sajha, it has come to our attention that the three users leo_r sachokura ilovenepal share the same IP address and are obviously abusing the freely available sajha resource to promote their racist propaganda. As I have outlined in the above message, I let few threads on sajha about these subjects alone for few days. But even after a week or so if this kind of negative discussions continue, then all these kinds of discussions flourishing on the main kurakani section gets moved to the OUR DIFFERENCES usergroup. This person using same IP address but different usernames has collectively(?) accused me of being a Newar and using sajha platform for Newar cause. Personally I find these caste differences so trivial and non-issue because I have been lucky to be blessed with the company of people from all castes and divisions and I have always had a relationship with everyone based on humanity, interpersonal relationship and common sense of etiquette rather than the outdated, unfair and illogical segregation of people according to their birth. Unfortunately caste is a big issue for many people and I respect that feeling as long as it is not used against someone to inflict negative feelings towards a certain group of people based upon their birth in a certain family. I believe that caste was a tool for rulers to divide the people and rule. Caste also creates hierarchy in a society with some castes on a higher social hierarchy than other. This has lead to the thinking that people from certain castes are better human beings than others. This is seen in the untouchable tradition that exists in our society where some castes don't eat things touched by another caste. In today's day and age the social and personal hierarchy provided by the caste system is does not make any logical sense, and anyone who deep inside believes that they are higher or better form of human being because they were born in a certain caste needs to seriously get adapted to the new age. Today, you are what you are according to what you have personally achieved. According to the lasting impression that you leave with others that you come in contact with. According to what you do for society and humanity. Our country is struggling to become a democratic society, and in choosing to follow or encourage this segregation of caste, we are slowing the democratization process. I certainly hope that the new government realizes that and discourages such caste discrimination. If you or anyone you know has a strong feelings towards the caste system, I don't blame you. This is something that has been subconsciously planted within our mind while living in a society imbibed with such strong caste values. But, that feeling is not right. In the end, we are only human beings. We are only Nepalis. We can choose to survive hand in hand in a positive environment. Or we can choose to believe we are better human beings than others and continue to spread this tradition of segregation. The choice is ours.
