2. MISSION AND VISION
THE MISSION
The Indian context of this world throws a serious challenge for all the special fields in socilogical sciences. Probably, all the civilisations of various other countries have much to share and learn from each other. But the Indian scenario with its long and rigid social structure based on heirarchical caste order with no less complicated horizontal division has to work and rework without this comfort on the question of democracy. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar alone has set that path and that path alone spearheads the true quest for Indian Democracy. The definitions to social history of Marx and of the truly Marxist Point of View thereafter contain too less detail, except the basic, fundamental and the most glorious historical materialism to adopt any theoretical working principles for the Indian context. It needs to be underlined that all the applicants of Marxism with their upper casteist views have vulgarised and are still vulgarising it. Marxism needs to be revisited from Ambedkarism - the dalit perspective and the sole Indian democratic perspective. So the quest continues. This web-site is to serve the need of dalits to know and project all kinds of dalit views, news and info on rights and resources, etc. without any technical mediation and delay, with the greatest ease and as vastly as possible.
THE VISION
The widely spread out activities of dalits and dalit activists need further coordination. The advent of information technology can't be simply ignored to be kept in disuse even by us - the dalits, the section that has the least access. Though very limited but substantial access combined with the effectiveness in exchange of information and views this form of the media is expected to add to our strength. With ever increasing better and effective features - thought over by all activists with some technical exposure or with regular and intense connection with the site - it is hoped that this platform would become evolove as a powerful link for all. To start with, a very small group would coordinate for the views, news and info and would keep updating the site. Ahead the days, as the participants increase in number and spread, it is planned to add the feature of open space for all. This open space too would be increased and also categorised as the days come. The formation of various groups based on volitions - like music, art, theatre, etc. and based on professions - like teaching, medicine, legal, design, etc. is also planned down the line. Expert incharges for various specialisations would add to the strength for summarisation of various views on divergent issues pouring in. The summaries would help the non-members of the specific group for an overall view. Even this expertise need not be static personal. Again from the groups itself that can rotate or more than one expert summarisations also can be deployed. It is also one of the defined services of this site, that as much information as possible on the statutory rights and resources for dalits is also deployed with proper categorisation for easy search. Finally, the need for someone as the permanent coordinator is to be eliminated with the emergence of many coordinators with strength, stuff, discipline, initiative, etc. to serve the ever increasing common visitors and participants.
