Whoever you are, calling User_talk:Lkadvani a dalit is not acceptable. You have been blocked for a week.Blnguyen | rant-line 01:17, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Dalit (the oppressed one) is not an insult. Ambedkar (a key Dalit emanciptor) uses the term 'Dalit' as a badge of honor. Insulting words for low caste people would be 'chamaar' or 'harijan'. Dalit is the official word for castelesss people in Indian Law. 'Dalit' is not a personal attack. It's like 'African-American' or 'Hispanic-American' as opposed to 'nigger' or 'wetback'.

unblock|"Dalit" is NOT A PERSONAL ATTACK. IT's the official designation of casteless people in Indian Law. It was not said with overt intent of malice (I'm low caste myself).}}

Block reviewed. I feel the block is justified. Calling someone a "Dalit" in a derogatory tone can be construed as a personal attack. Although if you are willing to politely apologize & promise not to repeat it again (here on your talk page) your may be unblocked. Thanks --Srikeit (Talk | Email) 07:15, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
