But they are all too known in your country and they have become a religion. You all practice it and pretend it is the natural way of doing things. Where is then my blame? Why isn't it possible for me, a low level Indian play this game? Mr. Ashok, I chose to act in this manner because I believed it right in my soul, in the mind that wants to break free from oppression, from the preconceptions, from labeling, and from the rooster coop. We are a people that tend to accept the servitude and the desire to serve our master. This is the entrenched mentality. But who brought it to India? The centuries of foreign presence, of domination, are to blame for what we are today. I broke out of it today. Action must be followed and people in India must wake up to the realities you and me, Mr. Ashok have seen and discussed together. Individuals must break free. I broke free today and will never return in this again.

I took an important step today. For myself and for India. Belonging to a caste must not determine my future or that of the followers. We must rise up to the challenge and improve...

I am sorry these means included such a violent act on yourself. I climbed up from the Darkness to become an important man. And perhaps in time I will be my own master. But now, it was in my destiny to break the ties with the oppressive system and its symbols. I am a privileged man because I had the chance and opportunity to foresee such a possibility. It was therefore inevitable that I took it.
You have numerous virtues and I was fortunate to have you as my master and not somebody else. But a master is a master, no matter his attributes. The same right to freedom and equality are denied. Therefore, Mr. Ashok, you must understand that this was a symbolic gesture I had to make. Otherwise I would have rejected the possibility to escape and take my chance with freedom and fortune. I do not want to be labeled as a poor man or one pertaining to an inferior caste. I am looking for my future and the way into the "Light." I am sorry you had to suffer for this, but this is the sacrifice I am willing to accept and live with for the rest of my life.
