ARE INDIAN RACIST ?


The caste system is without any dought the most racist invention of all times. But this would be understandable, since all countries have had some kind of hierachical structure,having leaders and slaves once in their history but in INDIA IT STILL EXIST. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had said at a conference: “Dalits have faced a unique discrimination in our society…. The only parallel to the practice of untouchability was apartheid.” The verbal form "have faced" is simply not true Dalits still are completely underprivilized and in some areas can not drink from the same water source as upper caste people.
Now in another area India has shown his ugly racist face:
Two cheerleaders from London were asked to leave the ground at Mohali “because of the colour of their skin” by the Preity Zinta event management company, Wizcraft International Entertainment, which handles her team, Kings XI Punjab.
One of the girls, Ellesha Newton, told The Telegraph: “It was okay when we reached the stadium. It was when we were going to take our positions that some of Wizcraft’s employees asked us to leave. We were surprised and asked them why and they told us it was because of the colour of our skin.”
Aldana said he found Ellesha and Sherinne Anderson, whom he had recruited as part of a team of 12, in tears when he reached the ground.“Sherinne and Ellesha were in a state of shock and crying outside the ground. I called them and asked them what was the matter and they told me that a guy from Wizcraft had forbidden them from entering the ground,” Aldana said.Aldana, who has supplied cheerleaders for Shah Rukh Khan’s Calcutta team, too, said when he confronted the Wizcraft people with the allegation they tried to pass it off as a casual comment. “They said people don’t like dark girls here. But if they wanted all blondes, they should have told me so. I would have arranged it.”On Aldana’s insistence, the girls were allowed back on the ground. But they were so upset that they didn’t want to take their positions on the stage.
“Sherinne and I talked it out amongst ourselves and we really didn’t want to go, but that’s why we were here and so we went,” said Ellesha, 22.
Sherinne, 25, burst out: “This kind of thing has never happened to us before, not in Europe, not here, nowhere.”
