Bowing for Forgiveness: Public Praises Candor
Vijayendra Prasad spoke openly about caste discrimination, sharing a personal anecdote: “I am using this dais to speak about something important. Ours is a very affluent family. During my student days, my classmate’s name was John Frederick Sundar Rao. He was a boy from a Dalit community. He studied as well as I did, equally brilliantly. My father provided him financial assistance. After SSC (Secondary School Certificate), both of us joined the same college. My father had no caste discrimination, and I, too, have never made such a mistake. However, my grandparents and great-grandparents practiced caste discrimination. They committed unspeakable atrocities in the name of caste discrimination. Whenever I remember that, my heart sinks with shame and humiliation. I felt disgusted, wondering if I was born into such a lineage. But I also have a share in that fault. I have the genes of my ancestors, and I am enjoying their inherited wealth.” He concluded his poignant speech by humbly bowing his head and stating, “That’s why, before all of you, I bow my head humbly and beg for forgiveness.”
