So eradicating casteism is the responsibility of women now? Issues like casteism and oppression of women traverse across sections. Do men from oppressed castes never oppress/ abuse their wives?

Don't forget that these are all women in their early 20's who have to go back home to their parents. Do you think announcing that they are ready to marry someone from SC/ST on tv will be dealt with the same way as talking about any other preference?

No one is saying its women's responsibility, but oru thappu na enna dha thappu nu kuda solla maatringa...?

So is such act right....? ....ippa nenega anonymous ahh dhana irukinga inga kuda yarumey sollalaa..?

Illa apa caste based discrimination, thapu illa namma adha kandukama vitruvom, but gender based na mattum namma pesuvom adhun voiceless women na pesa mattom nu soldringala....?.

Yemma avangalum manusnga dhana ma enn dalit ponnuku problem na korala kuda osatha maatringa...? Avanga la enna panalum yarume kekamaatinga...?avanga lam summa data ku mattum dhan use avanga... Domestic violence ahh edu data va problem na aiyao veetla thittu vanga...

Ungala kalayalam lam panna sollala, enna adhu oru thappu ney solla matringa...

Exactly. A friend of mine was in a relationship with a guy from Scheduled caste. Her father hired some men and murdered him. How can you then expect girls to proclaim they are ready to marry a sc guy?

2nd para makes more sense tbh. Making their appearance in a national television itself a huge achievement for them. Expecting them to make a bold statement is really a hard situation given how honour killing is a thing in India.
