Mayavati is into power politics if issue based alliances in civil society could have "universal brahman/"upper" casstes" why deny the same possibility in politics
if Mayavati' could utilise the bureaucracy to make some changes (it wont happen over night) that would be nice like it or not chiftains of civil society should accept the agency of mayavati and how she use Dalit/brahmin/OBC/muslim combination effectively in UPs politcs.. critique of mayavati is indeed needd from dalit perspective.. the prblm is in the assumption that DAlits cant understand anything and chieftains of civil society has to make them aware of it... i was questioning it. dalits from their day to day experience are theorising society/culture/ they understood wht ambedkar said from their lived experiences evolving dalit discourse will be testimony to chengara brings forth the agency of people and their struggle itself is theorisation of critique of kerala model of devpt and class deterministic marxist discourse of the region On 3/25/08, venukm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > With all appreciation and pride for Mayavathi ,let one also be > reminded of this slogan, reportedly used by the BSP in the electoral > campaign that led Mayavathi ultimately to the CM's post. > "Brahman sankh bajaayega, haathi aage badaayega." > Venu.K.M > > - > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
