During past half century,
WHY DALIT MOVEMENT FAILED IN INDIA?
Who are the culprits?
Dear brothers,
In view of political reservation granted to us was just for 10 years, Baba
Sahib Ambedkar has aspired that we should achieve political power within the
span of this stipulated time because he was of the opinion, "Political power
is only 'Master-key' by which each and every lock is opened." He further
cautioned, "Political democracy could not last unless there lay at the base
of it social democracy which recognized liberty, equality and fraternity as
the principles of life." Political power if achieved without strengthening
its social base, may evaporate without doing or achieving anything concrete.
That is why, Baba Sahib Ambedkar has advised the educated dalits/untouchable
for the political empowerment of our people. "My final words of advice to
you is to educate, agitate and organize; have faith in yourself. With
justice on our side, I do not see how we can loose our battle. The battle to
me is a matter of joy. The battle is in fullest sense spiritual. There is
nothing material or social in it. For ours is a battle, not for wealth or
power. It is a battle for freedom. It is a battle for the reclamation of
human personality."
The brahminical people though micro-minority, are successful due to their
strong live social organisations. RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal, Durga Vahini, ABVP,
PSSP, Vidya Bharti, Samskar Bharti, Bhartiya Itihas Sanklan Parishad, Sewa
Bharti, BMS and so on, are busy in their entrusted assignments and liable
to their centralized leadership. All the organizations of theirs have very
strong co-ordination amongst them.
But, where do we stand? What is ours output? Even after 53 years of our so
called independence, are we in a position to withstand or counter these
Brahminical Organizations? Whether, are we conscious of their evil effects?
There are thousands of our registered organizations without any output! The
obvious reasons behind this failure of ours is nothing but our indifferent
attitude towards the problem. We have ignored the simple formula of
"Knowledge, thought and action".
We have also ignored the findings of Lord Buddha that 'There was sufferings
in this world, causes of sufferings are there and how to remove the causes
of sufferings, are also there.' But how many amongst us are prepared to look
at the sufferings of our people, how many try to know the causes of our
sufferings and how many are interested in removing it? Our people do not
believe in acquiring knowledge. Without proper knowledge, no thought of any
worth could come out. Their vision too remains very short-sighted. They
cannot visualize the ensuing danger. They cannot find out the ways and means
even for their own sorrows.
There are a few amongst us who think about the problem. Further, there are
far and few between who are worried about the ensuing danger? But, nobody is
there who dare to come out and take up the command for the emancipation!
Aren't we still waiting for another Baba Sahib Ambedkar to do the rest? Isn'
t it a pity on us that we could not produce another Baba Sahib out of ours
gigantic 750 millions (dalits-the S/C, S/T and BC) after 6th Dec., 1956? Do
we believe in 'Action'? Had we ever launched a direct action?
It is true that the emancipation of our people involves social disturbances
and a violent struggle which cannot be avoided. We are accustomed of
adopting the line of the least resistance which has proven ineffective in
the matter of removing our sorry state of affairs.
Baba Sahib was of the same opinion, " You must create a crises by direct
action against the customary code of conduct of the Caste Hindus. The crises
will compel the caste Hindus to think and once they begin to think they will
be more ready to change they are otherwise likely to be. The great defect in
the policy of least resistance and silent infiltration of rational ideas
lies in this that they do not produce crises. The direct action in respect
of the Chowdar Tank at Mahad, the Kalaram Temple at Nasik and Guruvayur
Temple in Malabar have done it in a few days what million days of preaching
by the reformers would never have done."
Please take it as granted that no social inequality and economic disparity
could be removed without a "REVOLUTION". It is true that intellectual
encouragement should be there but for whom? For the purpose of our utter
failure, our people are divided into four categories viz.:
1- The Gullible Masses of Baba Sahib Ambedkar:
Here in India, our people by and large are simple, illiterate and ignorant.
But, right from the beginning, they have even supported the so called men of
Baba Sahib Ambedkar (B.P. Maurya, Ram Vilas Paswan, Kanshi Ram, Mayawati
etc.) with their empty stomachs and bare feet but nobody was interested in
paying back to them! They have become self-centered and self-seekers!
Everybody of them have used this gullible masses as a ladder. On reaching
the top (on acquiring 'paisa, position and power'), they have kicked the
ladder (our gullible masses). Instead of being the Messiah of our society,
they have virtually become the slaves of the brahminical tormentors!
2- The Pseudo Ambedkarites:
They are limited to the knowledge of a b c d only and not interested in
going beyond that. For them knowledge means academic qualifications which
are sufficient to get job (service) for themselves or for their kids. They
do not bother to understand as to why our forefathers have to succumb
abominable thralldom and inhuman injustice at the hands of the alien
'Aryans'. As to why, their livelihood was limited to Carcass! They have
nothing to do with the struggle of Mahatma Phule, Shahu Maharaj, E.V.
Ramaswamy Naikar or even Baba Sahib Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. This category of our
people are settled one in their lives. They are educated and employed. They
have enough time and money to educate the gullible masses so as to make them
agitated and get them organized for the final onslaught. This category of
'Ambedkarites' used to come out only once in a year on 14th April to worship
Baba Sahib Ambedkar! By acquiring paisa, position and prestige by virtue of
reservation, they could have provided money, mind and direction to the
'movement' but they are limited to TV and Bibies (wives) only. Almost all
the officers and the employees, coming from our society, in government,
semi-government, private/public sector and entrepreneurs fall in this
category.
3- Bastard Ambedkarites:
This category of Ambedkarits is very dangerous to the very existence of our
society. These are the people who have spoiled the efforts and struggle of
Baba Sahib Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. They are the spoilers, not builders of the
society. They are the by-products and the evil effects of "Poona Pact",
enforced upon Baba Sahib Ambedkar by Mr. M.K. Gandhi. They have nothing to
do with the miseries of the society, they come from. On occasions, they do
name Baba Sahib but pampering the opponents of Baba Sahib and his people. It
is true that they born to our mothers but satiating our sworn enemies.
Should we call them our brothers or sisters? Never. That is what we have to
differentiate? We fail to differentiate, rather. It is not the Brahmins or
Brahminism can do anything wrong to us, it is the bastard Ambedkarites
amongst us who play all the non-senses! They used to claim themselves as the
progeny of Baba Sahib Ambedkar but licking the shoes of Atal Biharis, Ms.
Sonia Gandhi's, Jyoti Basus, Mamtas and so on. These includes B.P. Mauryas,
Sangh Priya Gautamas, Meera Kumars, Jatiyas, Balyogis, Shindes, Buta Singhs
etc. They used to be elected from reserved constituencies and then put
themselves at stake with their respective political godfathers. They can be
termed as retailers of dalit votes. Aren't they sucking all the fruits and
juice of the struggle of Baba Sahib Ambedkar?
There is another category of these 'Bastard Ambedkarite' who have taken up
whole-sale responsibilities of indirectly putting our society at the
disposal of Atal Biharis, Sonia Gandhi's, etc. They have formed their
respective political outlets fetching dalit votes in the name of Baba Sahib
Dr. Ambedkar and then put their respective political outfit at stake with
the negotiated party, may it be the Brahminical one! They too show and claim
themselves as the staunch Ambedkarites and ask people for their support. The
day, they reach at the helm of affairs or near to it, they forget everything
and indulge in dishonest bargain for self. They are nothing but the
whole-sale dealers of our gullible masses. This category includes Kanshi
Rams, Madame Mayawatis, Ram Vilas Paswans, Sharad Yadavas, Nitish Kumars,
Athawales, etc. They are the real culprits of our society and the 'Dalit
Movement' as well. The Brahminical forces (Hindi Micro-Minority) can do no
harm to us but it is these Vibhishanas who always come in between! These
Vibishans are making mockery of the Mission of Baba Sahib. They have spoiled
the atmosphere and created an atmosphere of disbelief, because they didn't
remain honest and faithful towards the gullible masses whom they heavily
owe. In order to wipe out Brahminism, let us firmly and sternly concentrate
on, as to how to deal with this Vibhishanism.
4- Staunch Ambedkarites:
Staunch or true Ambedkarites means hundred percent Ambedkarites. This
category of Ambedkarites is very rare. Those who have completely engraved
the ideals of Baba Sahib Ambedkar and willing to sacrifice of theirs
including their own lives for the cause, are staunch Ambedkrites. Such type
of Ambedkarites do not bother even for their kith & kin. They remain always
ready to lay their lives for the cause. They can visualize the ensuing
danger and get puzzled. They are the rarest one who bear and rear the ideas
of 'revolution' and always worried about how to put them into action. They
have the will-power to do anything for the cause. Before enlightenment,
Gautama Buddha was the first person to renounce everything for the cause.
Though, Being the son of a king, he had all the luxuries of life, but he
preferred renunciation for the gullible masses. Baba Sahib Dr. Ambedkar, an
intellectual par excellence, could ensure all the luxuries for himself and
hid kith and kin but he too preferred the path of struggle to emancipate
their gullible masses. Why Gautama Buddha and Baba Sahib Dr. Ambedkar could
be able to do so? Because, they have the will power and are determined for
the sacrifice.
At the moment, there is no dearth of true Ambedkarites who believe in
revolution and are willing for any sort of sacrifice for the society, they
come from. They feel that they are heavily indebted of the struggle of our
emancipators. But the indifferent attitude of the 'Pseudo Ambedkarites' and
an atmosphere of disbelief aired by the "Bastard Ambedkarites" as mentioned
above, are the only impediments in their way to emancipation of our
unprivileged brothers and sisters of India.
AN APPEAL:-
Before we conclude, we must give a deep thought to it as to why the
Brahminical forces are still at the helms of affair in this country of ours
which are the only our cause of concern. Why we have made our democracy
meaningless? Why our opponents are successful in their policy of 'divide and
fool to rule' in India. Let us try to find out ways and means for the
success of our movement, before the things could go out of our hands! Why do
we dither in pursuing our 'Mission'? Shouldn't we have an organization of
our intellectuals to guide and control the entire movement as in the case of
RSS and its accomplice organizations? Could you avow please?
With kind regards, Jai Bheem,
Brotherly Yours,
