No name calling - either other hubbers or other personalities.
This means no "filthy person" type comments, Srivatsan
This means no personal attacks on anyone, stranger

badri!

Instead of attempting to raise the status of Scheduled Castes (Parayans), an attempt should not be made to reduce the status of backward Class (Sudrans) by relegating them to the levels of Scheduled Castes. On no account should the existing status of Sudrans be reduced to the level of Parayans'. Venkatesan says in his book that Periyar's contempt if not hatred for the dalits was shown in another context by his flash observation: 'One of the main reasons why there is an upward trend in the prices of clothes and textiles is that women belonging to the Scheduled Castes (Parachies) have started wearing blouses these days. I understand name-calling is not right and I apologize for my misinterpretations.

However, quoting the terms like "parayan and parachies" is HIGHLY inappropriate and it should be regarded as "against hub-policy".

Even if it had been said in the EVR's dirty book (it must have been published 4 decades ago), I consider that "re-quoting" or "citing" such terms (he could have avoided that) by Sundaram (in the 21st century) in his article is BRUTAL and RUDE.

Gandhi used the term scheduled caste for politely addressing these people becuase they are afraid of telling their own caste names in the public.

And I know they get wounded and hurt when they read such terms.!

This is just like calling someone as a "n e g r o" in the 21st century. Sundaram should have known better than this!

Even Sundaram and EVR would have realised how it be like only if they were born as a scheduled caste! But they were not born such
