*'Dalit' :-*"Can some body enlighten me please why when a Dalit starts speaking up she is either referred to Vedas or to Marx’s capital ?? Cant they just see that both of them have been rejected lock, stock and barrel by the Dalits and it has happened more because both these ’sacred’ texts have been used to silence their voices than due to any other reasons ??? " *'Other'*:- "When a dalit starts speaking.. ..what happens? Someone demands not just listening but also hundred percent agreement ...and certainly no uneasy questions!.."
* '**Dalit':* "hehehe and by the way why you are so bothered about my idiosyncrasies??? Why does it impact you so much?? Why cant u just ignore me just I ignore many's from your brand." * 'Other':*- "Why are you calling me casteist and arrogant? ...for asking questions and having wanted to debate with serious writers? You think you can take such liberty with people disagreeing..Strange! Further, you are mistaken if you're suggesting that a writer would respond to his/her readers only to satisfy( or rather punish, you mean) the latter's arrogance. Anyways,... Read More It is your problem, not mine.." * **'Dalit'*:- ">>>Why are you calling me casteist and arrogant?<<< Thats the first sensible question you have asked. I tell you why I call you so. take a deep breath and again read C's piece and then your questions which you dubbed as your knee jerk response. read C's responses too. ... If you become little honest with yourself then probably you will see why i call you casteist and arrogant." * **'Other'*:- With their big capital ,the neo-liberal forces and the corporates back the Takares to polarise Maharashtra on communal lines; RSS attempts patenting Hindu &India to project Muslim ,women, dalits ,other minorities,adivasis and communists as enemies; these are ways to destroy the united resistance of people, and to muscle democratic voices against bigotry and hatred.. Dalit - Adivasi lands are being taken over by the corporates in a big way,workers both organized and the unorganized are being treated so badly and even the labour laws are being arrogantly flouted by the corporates thanks to the connivance of various state govts and the and central govt. All these nefarious efforts by the power brokers of different political persuasions to spread suspicion and hate between powerless sections of people take place indeed. irrespective of what you and I may be saying. But it is also true that those continue to be challenged by progressive and democratic forces.. *What is your role there?,you like to see dalit politics focused on the agenda of a 'sarvajan' anti-people ruling class alliance in the feudal hinterlands plus anti-progressive rhetoric in the name of dalits in the academic circles! Do you think that people will miss it?* *'Other'* :- (Arundhati says it is Chithambaram's War taking place now ) The flat-topped hills and mountains of Orissa in southeastern India are being sold off to multinational mining companies for the bauxite they contain. http://socialistworker.org/2009/11/17/mr-chidambarams-wa<http://socialistworker.org/2009/11/17/mr-chidambarams-war> " -- You cannot build anything on the foundations of caste. You cannot build up a nation, you cannot build up a morality. Anything that you will build on the foundations of caste will crack and will never be a whole. -AMBEDKAR http://venukm.blogspot.com http://www.shelfari.com/kmvenuannur http://kmvenuannur.livejournal.com --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
