A presentation was made by a group of students from PSEco on
the much discussed and debated work of Kancha Ilaiah, titled Why I am Not a Hindu. Each one of the
group members took a few aspects of the book and explained them thoroughly –
starting from the status of women among the dalit
bahujan society in contrast to the relatively oppressed status of women in
the brahminical society; to the stark
difference between them and the mainstream Hindu society with respect of modes
of worship or deities. Not only this, they were also able to bring out the
passion with which Kancha Ilaiah wrote this book, and the passion with which he
believed in his ideals. All in all, it was a very informative and well
structured presentation.
