Bangalore: Look at the big changes.Muslims masses are gradually joining Dalit and OBC parties led by Mayawati, Mulayam Singh, Lalu Parsad, Sharad Pawar etc. Muslim leadership is dying.
Remember, how Shahabuddin was once called the "Second Jinnah" by the Brahminical media as though Jinnah sahib, the greatest leader, was bad. Remember how some Hindu MPs had shouted "Jai Shri Ram" in Indian Parliament soon after the Babri Masjid demolition. Muslims of the whole country were shocked at this but the Muslim MPs of Kashmir shouted back saying Allaho Akbar.
This was the turning point. Muslims were being slowly driven to the wall. They had no further space to go. Since the Cashmiri Muslims lost all hopes and were forced to turn violent. The got the support of the Muslims from Azad kashmir, Pakistan itself and also from Afghanistan. Each organisation formed its own independent fighting front and launched armed resistance. The J&K Police, Ikhwan Renegades, and security forces, all muslims, were forced to fight their own brothers. Then the Indian security forces were sent from Delhi. They also met with fierce resistance. After killing many and getting killed in large numbers, they realised athat those whome they were killing were Dalits and shudra sepoys and jawans, whose brothers inside India were themselves vistims of continuous Hindu atrocities.
About the author: Shri V.T. Rajshekar, its Editor and founder, Dalit
Voice, the English fortnightly, has become the country's most powerful "Voice
of the Persecuted Nationalities Denied Human Rights".
A veteran journalist, formerly of the Indian Express, powerful
and fearless writer, V.T. Rajshekar, had to face the wrath of the
ruling class, arrested many times, several jail sentences, passport
impounded and subjected to total media boycott.
Published in several Indian languages including Hindi, Dalit Voice
has become the sole spokesman for the entire deprived, dehumanised
lot of India. Besides the Dalits, it looks after the interests
of Backward Castes (35%) and the country's three persecuted religious
minorities —
Muslims 15%, Christians 2.5%, and Sikhs 2.5% — all
victims of the Aryan Brahminical racism. Plus the women of all
sections including the Hindu women.
In the course of the last 25 years, DV has become India's largest
circulated journal of the oppressed, fighting against mainstream
dailies and periodicals which have totally ignored the plight of
the original inhabitants. Hence DV is rightly hailed as a new experiment
in Indian journalism.
Only DV has diagnosed the disease of India which is an exception
to all other countries in the world. If others have only "classes",
India has not only the "class" but the world's most unique
institution of caste system, which is the other word for racism.
Here lies the success of DV. It goes to all world famous libraries,
universities and invited many Afro-American delegations to India.
Its Editor is hailed as India's most original thinker, scholar
and also philosopher. As India's most famous Dalit writer, he has
authored over 60 world-famous books dealing with the problems of
caste, ethnicity,
Muslims, Christian, Sikhs, Marxism, Brahminism,
Racism, Gandhism, Fascism etc.
Over 100 books have been published by the Dalit Sahitya Akademy,
its sister organisation, also headed by the Editor.
His book, Dalit - The Black Untouchables of India, published from
the USA (Clarity Press, Inc., Suite 469, 3277 - Roswell Rd NE,
Atlanta, GA.30305, ISBN 0-932863-05-1 , 2003 - 2nd print), has
gone into several reprints uniting for the first time the Blacks
of the world with the Black Untouchables of India.
His most important book, Caste — A Nation Within the Nation,
which has gone into second print, is a marvellous thesis offering
an ingenious weapon of "caste identity" to defeat Brahminism,
the destructive ideology of the ruling class. In the latest Parliament
election, the oppressed castes of India used this weapon and defeated
the country's Brahminical party (BJP).
DV becomes the future media of India where its dailies and periodicals
are slowly dying. Because only DV offers a lasting solution as
the authentic voice of the country's tallest titan, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar,
the Father of India.
