Generations passed. My sub-human status has not changed

Dr.Suryaraju Mattimalla


“Generations passed.
My life has not changed.
Generations passed.
Conditions have not changed.
Generations passed.
Restrictions have not changed.
Generations passed.
Taboos have not changed.
Generations passed.
The patriarchy has not changed.
Generations passed.
Violence has not changed.
Generations passed.
My status has not changed.
Generations passed.
Society has not changed.
Generations passed.
The borders have remained unchanged.
Generations passed.
Blocks have not changed.
Generations passed.
Traditions have not changed.
Generations passed.
Customs have not changed.
Generations passed.
The sacred has not changed.
Generations passed.
My mother's status has not changed.
Generations passed.
My sister's status has not changed.
Generations passed.
My daughter's status has not changed.
Generations passed.
My wife's status has not changed.
Generations passed.
Then and now Civilizational violence
Generations passed.
My sub-human status has not changed.”
This has been the condition of untouchable castes, scavengers, sanitary workers, Africans, yagidis, gender minorities, women, female children, and daily wage workers in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Japan, etc for 7000 years.
