“Thevarmagan said, ‘All my in-laws are arriving. Why can't those Parayans play a bit faster !’. They replied,’ Ayya ! We have been playing for a long time and we are exhausted; we will play after the tea break ‘. Thevarmagan yelled, ‘Are you fools, drunk; bloody Pariahs! Don’t you respect my words?’ How dare you ask me a question?” He punched one of the Parayans' faces”
- Oren Tamira, Counter-Strike: An Anthology of Dalit Short Stories

Omprakash Valmiki
“तरह–तरह के मिथक रचे गए—वीरता के, आदर्शों के। कुल मिलाकर क्या परिणाम निकले? पराजित, निराशा, निर्धनता, अज्ञानता, संकीर्णता, कूपमंडूकता, धार्मिक जड़ता, पुरोहितवाद के चंगुल में फँसा, कर्मकांड में उलझा समाज, जो टुकड़ों में बँटकर कभी यूनानियों से हारा, कभी शकों से। कभी हूणों से, कभी अफगानों से, कभी मुगलों, फ्रांसीसियों और अंग्रेजों से हारा, फिर भी अपनी वीरता और महानता के नाम पर कमजोर और असहायों को पीटते रहे। घर जलाते रहे। औरतों को अपमानित कर उनकी इज्जत से खेलते रहे। आत्मश्लाघा में डूबकर सच्चाई से मुँह मोड़ लेना, इतिहास से सबक न लेना, आखिर किस राष्ट्र के निर्माण की कल्पना है?”
Omprakash Valmiki, जूठन: पहला खंड [Joothan]
