teakada: Castes and Dogs: "In a generation where religious borders seem blurred, a particular caste in T Shanmugapuram village - Thuthukodi has allegedly banned Dalits from raising dogs. The thought behind this 'rule' '... is to prevent the dogs of the Dalit colonies from mating with the female dogs roaming around the caste Hindu areas!'"
