A Decade of Social Exile
I speak today not only as an advocate but as a witness to a quiet, protracted injustice—one that has unfolded not in headlines, but in the daily erosion of dignity, connection, and belonging.
Being, a Dalit man from Trinidad, entered a relationship over ten years ago with a community from a caste Hindu background. What followed was not just heartbreak—but a decade-long campaign of social isolation, psychological manipulation, and systemic exclusion at the hands of a community still chained to a caste system long outlawed but tragically alive in spirit.
From that moment forward, being Dalit marked me—not for any crime, but for daring to bridge a divide that should not exist in any just society. I endure:
• No woman in my community has interacted with me romantically or emotionally for over a decade, as if loving outside caste rendered me untouchable.
• Faced subtle, persistent forms of social punishment designed to humiliate and alienate him from his peers.
• Traditions were weaponized. made to feel like a transgressor against something sacred, when in truth,I only transgressed against prejudice.
This was not a breakup—it was an execution of belonging.
Defining myself is not retaliation . I will never turn to hate. Instead, the harder path: one of study, introspection, spiritual resilience, and creativity. Examining the very forces that tried to erase him and emerged with insight, not bitterness.
That what I has endure constitutes a social injury with generational echoes.
It is the fight of every person forced to bear the cost of love in a world that still fears equality.
