One fails to understand on what basis this author has got the designation of “Senior Journalist”. What is it supposed to mean? Does he have more knowledge or experience? His past articles including the one in which he abused brahmins and credited them with possessing non-existent advantages reveals that he neither has knowledge nor experience in writing credible articles. He is nothing more than a serial instigator.
1. In this article author has made very valid observations but unfortunately today, there are fewer and fewer true followers of Dalits’ icon: Dr B R Ambedkar. 2. In seventies and eighties the Congress party was banking on Dalit votes but today situation is different. There are many political parties which claim to protect and further interests of Dalits. Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) of Smt Mayawati, Bharipa Bahujan Mahasangh (BBM) of Prakash Ambedkar, Republican Party of India (Ramdas Athavale faction); these are three political parties who claim to fight for the SC, ST & OBC communities. In Tamil Nadu too there are a few parties who fight for Dalits. 3. Is it not true that political philosophy of Dr Ambedkar has become a handy tool for several of his followers? But I find that followers of Dr Ambedkar wish to use his legacy only for immediate political gains. No one, however, wishes to learn from Dr Ambedkar’s persuasive skills or borrow his love for books and study, as it is hardly convenient. 3. Dalit and Dalit-centric parties claim to be working for welfare of their community. However, on account of castes and sub-castes there is lack of unity and coordination. This has adversely impacted Dalit parties’ power to reap benefits of numbers. 4. Today, there are two main problems of Dalits: (a) Job opportunities in private sector are scarce and (b) their political voice is not always as powerful as it should be. Hence I think it is necessary for all these parties to do what is called SWOT (Strengths Weaknesses, Threats and Opportunities) analysis. SWOT will be useful to move forward.
