1. dalitquest

This is the first posting after the site-was created with the header.

All was flowing well on to the keys of the key-board as I wanted to put one of my relevant and important veiws as the first posting on this site. It was taking a final shape. It came very well and was very effective too. Suddenly, in course of moving the mouse and the cursor all that I keyed in disappeared.

It caused a really a great hurt to me. Whom to blame? Me only. My technical knowledge on this facilitating tool of posting on blogger was insufficient. This happened on an earlier occasion also. I am unable to understood why all that disapears when I try to select till the last end of the matter in the text box. One thing I should at least learn till I learn that technical answer is that I should be careful when I am pouring - pouring in something more dense, more agonised, more moved. I should not, first of all, try to select to the complete end. Further, I should maintain a copy of the matter as it progresses in a parallel text file also.

HERE I TRY TO RECOLLECT ALL THAT. LET ME SEE.

Among many topics and services thought to be provided through this web-site perspectives is aslo one of the core features.

I would like to record, here, my view on one of the important social aspects of evolution.

Evolution is the broad spectrum of change. Where as revolution is the part of it. Revolutions - the true sweepingly political offensives are to be aimed at evolution only. A revolutionary program hence presupposes the declaration of what form evolution is it aimed at. The more profound the path worked out is the more is the strength for advancement of change and for its sustainability.

On this question one witnesses a miserable failure In the Indian context, while what it is in the global context is to be studied more and understood yet more correctly.

The fialure in the Indian context typically stems from the upper caste dominance. The uppercaste persons and the uppercasteists have always been usurping the leadership positions of all the popular and powerful movements of the downtrodden.

Now I have to rush to one of our beloveds. I would just push in the points alone to be developed later.

They do not have even an iota of historical perspective.

These are brahmanical, parochial, small-minded, intolerant, egoistic, crafty, degenerate the intellectual role into an inheritable craft without ever contemplating and even by being in no way conscientious.
They never thought of developing alternative systems.

Even the democratic systems emerging out of the Telangana Armed Struggles succumbed to the predominance of upper castes even at the village committee level.

What people’s committees and people’s courts that are being enacted are a big hoax and in major cases they have been punishing and annihilating the innocent Dalits and BCs. Even in the best case they only make the subject people far more handicapped than they were before such courts. It is only the rule and dictat of the gun that prevails than of democratic process participated by people.

Their minds are clouded and crippled with the darkness and pathological sort of intellectual deficiencies shaped in the process of their birth and growth.

What they try to hide with their pathetically sounding words “Is it our mistake to born in an upper caste family” is their growth in that infected laps and ambience against humanity.

Either it was suppressive or sacrificing it has been an upper-casteist lap and ambience. They never had the opportunity to view from dalit perspective. They are foreigners to it.

The being decides the consciousness. But not like hic-rodus hic-salta. The being doesn’t simply change on the very first occasion of their association with the Dalits.

It requires the life experience of a dalit to develop a dalit perspective. They never had that life. Living among the Dalits alone is not sufficient. One should live as one among them.

What the best of the militants and the warriors do or did was that though they lived among Dalits they never lived as one among them but as a special one among them.

What they don’t understand is that the any Dalit never disregards or disregarded any truly friendly upper caste hand. Of course, few of them are apprehensive even at the helping hand. It needs to be so. After all experiences, that too in huge numbers, can’t be ignored and can’t go without influence on the thought processes. The truly human hearts should sincerely and patiently follow the Dalits for their certification. And, Dalits are the only humane and the most humane.

I said some thing about the similarity of these gentlemen and their gentlewomen. I think it was the similarity in them on this question and also, I think, it was more on the subjugation of the latter to the former until the make their mind to be the sincere followers of dalit women in stead of being curios to only lead them.

I hope, I am also satisfied that almost all were recalled. All will be reformed and rearranged soon.

I could recall one more point that all these upper casteists who are engaged right from the worst reactionary activities and to the so called revolutionary activities are fundamentally opposed to the concept of proportionate representation or positive discrimination which in fact is the most democratic approach and the formost step towards democracy.

Those who are in bureaucracy they oppose it in the government employment and promotions therein. Those who are in private sector feel that it is their unquestionable arena to infest it with their own caste people. Those who are in the parliamentary political parties oppose it in the structures of their own parties and also in the general representation of the government political bodies. Those who are in the so called revolutionary politics frown at this proposal. Whatever nonsense they pose to justify their stand all that is essentially the same. The common ness in their ideology on this issue alone is sufficient how unanimous they are in their antogonism towards the dalit perspective and thereby against the essentially Indian democratic perspective.
