[Reader-list] Re: Re: My God became a dog

[Shivam Vij]

As someone who has great admiration for Ambedkar's writings and his
contribution to shaping Indian politics before Independence (in the
nationalist movement), after Independence ('father of the
Constitution') and showing the way for caste emancipation at a scale
that Gandhi's model could not achieve... I mean Prashant would you
like to reconsider your statement, "let every 50th year convert our
gods into dogs." I am not exactly offended, or may be I am, and would
like you to explain your comment.

Meanwhile, I agree with Lakshmi when she says, "I share ambedkar's
thoughts on the importance of not investing anything with sacredness
such that it inhibits re-evaluation!" In this context you may want to
read Osho on the Poona Pact in which he is hilariously critical of
both Gandhi and Ambedkar:

The excerpt is from a book, the whole of which is at
http://www.barnett.sk/software/sos/osho/osho-talks/person05.htm So
Vivek, you may want to include the link in your list of free online
books.

Cheers,
Shivam
