Upper Caste Hindus should not alienate OBC and Dalit Hindus to counter the latter's conversion to other religions. Similarly, Upper Caste Sikhs should not alienate backward and Dalit Sikhs to wean them away from Khalistanis
Upper Caste Hindus (Brahmin, Khatris, Banias, Rajputs etc.) mistreat OBC Hindus (Jats, Yadavas, Kurmis, etc.) and also mistreat Dalit Hindus (Jatavas, Passys, Paswans, etc.) so that the main Hindu party is not able to rule India despite 80% of the Indians being Hindus as the OBC and Dalit Hindus who form the majority of the population vote for Muslim appeasing parties out of frustration and Hindu votes gets divided. I have seen that contrary to the provisions of the Constitution, Dalit Hindus are not even allowed to do pooja at Hindu temples. This unconstitutional act on the part of Upper Caste Hindus results in Dalit Hindus becoming an easy prey for conversions to other religions, namely, Islam and Christianity. I am myself an Upper Caste Hindu being a Khatri but I share my meals with a passy maid who belongs to Scheduled Caste and also cooks our meals. So, all the Upper Caste Hindus should embrace OBC and Dalit Hindus so that they are not
converted to other religions. This is my sincere appeal to them to protect the Hindu dharma. Similarly, the Upper Caste Sikhs (Brahmins, Khatris, Rajputs etc.) mistreat backward class Sikhs like Jats, Sainis, Kambojs, as well as Dalit Sikhs.
Although all the Sikh Maharajas including Mahraja Ranjit Singh were Jats yet the ordinary Jat was exploited by Khatri Sikhs who loaned the former money at exorbitant interest during the British Rule. Similarly, Dalit Sikhs and Saini as well as Kamboj Sikhs who were agriculturists were exploited by Khatri Sikhs. This has resulted in some of the former Sikhs being lured by Muslim Pakistanis into becoming votaries of Khalistan. Although Jats, Sainis etc. and Dalit Sikhs form the majority of the Sikh population and hence they form the Govt. in Punjab but there are some disgruntled elements. So not only Khatri Sikhs but also Upper Caste Hindus must embrace all the backward Sikhs and Dalit Sikhs to wean them away from the clutches of Khalistanis. It is by allowing Dalit Sikhs to enter our Gurudwaras and by showing love and affection for all backward Sikhs and Dalit Sikhs that we can achieve the aim of making India a strong country. In particular,
the Upper Caste Hindus should not doubt the integrity of the Sikhs. If someone has gone astray, we should do all we can to bring him into the mainstream.
