Hi Paul C:

A few days ago you asked about the tradition of Sati ("widow

immolation") and now are asking about the condition of dalits

("outcastes"). But, wasn't sati primarily an upper-caste tradition?

I don't really grasp yet what you are trying to comprehend. What

is the context for your recent questions on caste?

In solidarity, Jerry

> Why have the political measures – special representation in parliament etc, failed to uplift the dalits?
