India Declares Dolphins "Non-Human Persons"

  1. That's wonderful. The same should go for any other animals held in captivity against their wishes.

    Have said that, India should also act to protect the dignity of its lowcaste and outcaste Hindus who on a daily basis are humiliated and discriminated against by those above them in the caste hierarchy. The worst victims are the Dalits or outcaste and the worst victims among the Dalits are the women.

    While India's declaration on dolphins is indeed commendable, it means nothing if "human persons " in India are treated without respect simply because they were not born into the right caste.
