[Reader-list] HONEST EFFORT AND APPROACH FOR 'SAMAJIK SAMRASTA' FOR DALIT

[Bipin Trivedi]

The Congress' lies have hurt not only my feelings and that of Shri Modi but
also of the entire Dalit community. The video recording and transcripts are
available on the website and DVD for anybody to watch. 

The editor of leading English daily 'The Hindu', Shri N. Ram, has also
exposed the Congress leaders' feigning concern for the Dalits. 

We cannot expect anything better from the Congress party, which had insulted
Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar throughout his life, and had always used Dalits as
vote-bank. Dr Ambedkar had wanted a casteless society, but the Congress
continued to sow the seeds of hatred among different castes and races ever
since its inception.

Dear All, 

I am writing this letter to acquaint you with the following facts: 

I was born in a Dalit family. My life is full of oppression and deprivation
the Dalits have faced for centuries. It is therefore natural for one to
express the feelings of pangs the Dalits experience. I am lucky to have
fought and overcame the circumstances and am in a profession to write and
express. 

I have witnessed Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi's thoughts and deeds from
close quarters for two-and-a-half decades. He has devoted his life in the
service of the oppressed and the last man in the last mile. His task is
making the Dalits economically self-reliant, free them from exploitation and
establish the rule of equanimity, 'samras-ekras', in the state. In a way,
his efforts are directed at realizing the dreams of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. I
have not seen any bias or prejudice in Shri Modi's thoughts and deeds. I
felt it as my duty to publicize his sense of duty before the public at large
through writings and speeches. It was the manifestation of such thinking
that the book, titled 'Samajik Samrasta', was created. This is not my first
book. I have published 13 books, including that on Birsa Munda, Sant
Ravidas, 'Samar-Nahi-Samrasta', Rashtrabhakta Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar and
Swami Vivekanand. 
It was a matter of pride for me that my fourteenth book, 'Samajik Samrasta'
was dedicated to the public at a function on April 26, 2010 at 6.30 p.m. in
presence of Swami Sacchidanand, Chief Minister Shri Narendra Modi and noted
poet-writer Suresh Dalal. 

The entire function was conducted in full glory and decorum. It received
rave reviews in the media. It was the most eventful day and memorable event
for a Dalit creative writer like me. But the brightest pages were blackened
by the Congress party, with an intention to malign a Dalit. Shri Modi did
not speak ill about the community in his speech, but the Congress reacted by
putting imaginary words into Shri Modi's mouth which he did not utter. It
exposed the Congress leaders' attempt to malign a solemn function to mark
social equality with lies. 

The Congress' lies have hurt not only my feelings and that of Shri Modi but
also of the entire Dalit community. The video recording and transcripts are
available on the website and DVD for anybody to watch. 

The editor of leading English daily 'The Hindu', Shri N. Ram, has also
exposed the Congress leaders' feigning concern for the Dalits. 

We cannot expect anything better from the Congress party, which had insulted
Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar throughout his life, and had always used Dalits as
vote-bank. Dr Ambedkar had wanted a casteless society, but the Congress
continued to sow the seeds of hatred among different castes and races ever
since its inception. 

Dr Ambedkar's book on what the Congress did for the untouchables is worth
reading. It chronicles and describes a number of events that uncovers the
true face of anti-Dalit Congress. The people of Kavitha village in the
Ahmedabad district had once outcast untouchables. Dr Ambedkar came to
Kavitha and intervened. Instead of asking the upper caste people to take the
untouchables along, the Congress leaders asked the untouchables to leave the
village. When he had arrived from Mumbai at Kalupur railway station, the
Congressmen heaped insults on him by waving black flags. 

There are a number of such occasions of political parties like the Congress
inflicting mental injuries on Dr Ambedkar, using the Dalits as vote-bank.
Instead of alleviating the pains of the
oppressed-deprived-exploited-suppressed Dalits, the Congress had only spread
rumours and canards against thoughtful people like Shri Narendrabhai Modi
fighting for the cause of the Dalits. It is perhaps natural for the Congress
to express vengeance against them who oppose the formers' anti-Dalit
policies. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to draw your attention to vested
interests and the need to recognise such divisive forces bent on maligning
Shri Modi for the last eight years. 

I am conveying my views through this letter and expect you to share the
views in the same spirit. 

With thanks, 

Yours truly 

Kishore Makwana, 

Editor of book 'Samajik Samrasta' 
Editor of periodical 'Namaskar'.
