Hello all,

I heard that there are aboriginals in Australia who are heavily
discriminated.  This kind of Social behavior and discrimination, as I
understood, is also seen in India instead they are named as dalits /
harijans.  Am I true in saying this?  Could somebody please educate me
in comparing these two systems?  i.e. "Dalits in India" vs "Aboriginals
in Australia".

I think this posting does not relate to the charter of TELUSA.  My
apologies for that.  I would appreciate the responses in a personal
mail.  Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards, Madhava
