One World
U.R.Ananthamurthy in Rujuvathu:
It is necessary to understand what is stagnant and what is dynamic in the present-day religious system. The people who do understand are those who participate in movements against ‘untouchability’; in struggles for equality and equal respect to all human beings; who desire equality between countries; who believe that animals, birds and plants have as much right to live in this world as we do; and who believe that all these struggles are interconnected.The whole thing here.
Excellent article. These changes will have to come from within. Unfortunately, I still see people not wanting to let people of other castes come into the kitchens. And some of these are folks that I think have progressive views. We still have a long way to go….

Yes, he has a blog on Sampada.net. I think most posts there are reproductions of his columns in differnt Kannada newspapers/magazines. The blog also has an English section.
