Deliberating Dalits: Finding new words for an old problem

Here I am attending another ecumenical conference on the issue of Dalit rights. I dont know how many campaigns and rallies I have attended to highlight the plights of dalit people. But now I am turning pessimistic, either due to the excessive talks and lack of action or more Christians not participating in the liberation [...]

Learning the art of Silence…

Did you know? One of the hardest bones in the human body is the jawbone. Uhhh…maybe not that surprising? Humans have great power..not the sword..the power vested on one’s tongue.
