> Dear brother Stewart,
>     The method which the Brahmins who hardly constitute 3.9% of the total

a

> policy of theirs is being carried out by them with their strong
> non-political organizations i.e. RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal and so many others
of
> which RSS is the mother organization of all. RSS remains busy in
formulation
> of their policies & planning's and find out ways and means of getting it
> implemented. They have been achieving it through cultural and religious
> enslavement of the dalit masses. They have the necessary ingredients in
> themselves to flourish their mission of enslaving the millions of the
dalit
> oppressed in India. These ingredients are:-
> 1- Firm determination,
> 2- Dedication,
> 3- Commitment
> 4- Coordination &
> 5- Sacrifice
>         Their preparedness for supreme sacrifice for their cause is the
real
> and rare quality which made them continue to be at the helms of affairs
> despite being "MICRO-MINORITY". The brahmins do not hesitate in putting
> their virgin daughters at stake for their society. This rarest of rare

>         It is really a pity on us that we could not produce another
Jyotiba

back

succumb

>     Sir, there is no dearth of dalit intellectuals and Drawingroom
advisors

been

differentiate

has

the

>  WHY DALIT MOVEMENT FAILED IN INDIA?

> 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

preaching

>
> Please take it as granted that no social inequality and economic disparity

>
> 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?
