This is an interesting piece which engages with caste in Punjab from a leftist point of view. It holds Jatt domination as primarily responsible for oppression of Dalits in Punjab's villages. My main quibble with these kind of arguments is that they completely ignore the role of Brahmins and other upper castes in oppression of lower castes and sustenance of caste system.
