Comments on: Ambedkar and Gandhi: what about the Caste System? http://thisindianlife.org/2009/08/31/ambedkar-and-gandhi-what-about-the-caste-system/ culture in India by philip baarendse Wed, 18 Apr 2012 06:01:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Shreya http://thisindianlife.org/2009/08/31/ambedkar-and-gandhi-what-about-the-caste-system/#comment-126 Fri, 12 Nov 2010 12:53:49 +0000 http://thisindianlife.org/?p=644#comment-126 I really like your blog.! :)

This debate about whether Gandhi wore the veil of a saint is very interesting. Gandhi’s support for the caste system and opposition of the baby of caste system i.e. untouchability is truly mind boggling.

I have always loved the ability you have to enjoy the smile of a peasant child in the Nepali terai and chat animatedly with vendours and mendicants of all stripes – while also being able to nibble and dine with those who are privileged to follow thought and beauty in the arts. Thanks for taking us along on your journeys around Delhi. Would love to host you here in Thane – and know that you would unearth a trove of local cultural glory here as well!

My favorite site for info on cultural events is delhievents.com and the venue I’ve visited the most is the India Habitat Centre on Lodhi Road, but the India International Centre is also fantastic and is just a block away from the IHC

I love to read your blog and find myself coming back every week to see if you have anything new to say …and you do say new things…:D..I loved this particular one. I would love to go for these sort of plays and music concerts. Would you mind telling how i could get information on these here in Delhi.

Thankyou so much.

Mythili
