3rd letter

 Dear Naanna,

How are you doing in Heaven? Are you enjoying social equality or is there still caste-based discrimination like in India? I know you can’t answer me, but I am sure one day I will see you there.

Naanna, I never asked you while you were alive about "terms" that Hindus used on you while you were alive.

Generally, terms are ideas that are expressed either in spoken or written form. So how did you feel when Hindus termed you as "unclean, impure, dirty, untouchable, Madigodaa, nalla kaaki i.e.dark crow etc?

Have you ever felt humiliated, degraded, dehumiliated, or reduced when they termed you as "antaraanivaadu", i.e., untouchable? I knew you felt humiliated and dehumanized psychologically.

You know how I knew your pain because I am also your son and felt the same degradation, dehumanization, persecution just like your parents that you used to tell us how your parents were humiliated and dehumanized by Hindus.

Naanna, I want to know your social status in Heaven. Are you sitting with upper-caste converted Christians equally with Christ, or are you still sitting at the feet of upper-caste converted Christians like in the Indian Church?

Looking forward to hearing from you, Naanna.

Your  son ‘Untouchable Spring"
