Hindus force surrender of Dalit interests

He (Dr. Ambedkar) said:

"Today in the negotiations in this difficult situation, I am in more strange position than all others. Unfortunately, in these peaceful negotiations I appear to be acting as villain for the protection of just demands of my people. I am willing to suffer to any extent in order to get fulfilled the just demands of my people.

I tell you I shall not deter from my pious duty, and betray the just and legitimate interests of my people even if you hang me on the nearest lamp-post in the street. The question faced today is not to be solved by succumbing to emotions, but by constitutional means as it involves the countless brethren who have been suffering in the slavery for ages. Adherence only to conscience will not be of any help there. Looking at the nature of the proposal of Mahatma Gandhi, it will take some more time to think. However, this Conference, through a resolution should convey to Mahatma Gandhi to postpone his fast for 10-12 days.

But the President Pandit Madan Mohan Malviya stated that it would not be possible in any circumstances. Consequent upon this Dr. Ambedkar did not agree to give up the Communal Award."

"The Conference then adjourned till two in the afternoon, next day, the 21st September. But immediately the leading members of the Conference went to Birla House and there Sir Tej Bahadur Sapru evolved a scheme of Primary and Secondary elections for the reserved seats. According to it the Depressed Classes themselves were to select for every seat a panel of not less than three candidates and then out of those three chosen candidates one was to be selected by the Joint Electorate of the Caste Hindus and the Depressed Classes."

"After a lengthy discussion, Dr. Ambedkar said that there could be a settlement provided the additional concessions in regard to the Award were given to make good the loss which would be caused due to giving up the Award. The representatives of the Congress assured that they would think over the proposal. Pandit Malviya suggested to form a small committee in this regard. Accordingly the Committee consisting of Tej Bahadur Sapru, Barrister Jaikar, Pandit Malviya, Mathuradas Wasanji and Dr. Ambedkar was formed and these names were intimated to the Conference.

Accordingly Dr. Ambedkar prepared the charter of demands and put up before the Committee at 10p.m. on 20th September 1932 in Birla Bhavan. The text of the same is as follows.

The Charter of demands made on the eve of Mahatma Gandhi's fast

Why this sudden Bush love for India?

Bangalore: When Iran and North Korea are clubbed in the "axis of evil" for making bomb and punished, Iraq was invaded and pounded for "possessing weapons of mass destruction", why George Bush is waiving all norms, rewriting nuclear rules and rushed to India to sell nuclear material?

Why Bush wants India to produce bombs? And against whom? Why he tried to bend all rules for the sake of India? Why this special love?

Will not China now go out of the way to supply nuclear arms to Pakistan?

Is Bush pushing India against China? Why India is surrendering to such dangerous temptations at the cost of the country?

These questions lead us to only one answer: India has played into the hands of American Neo-Cons goaded by the country's over-fed ruling upper castes who, the history says, never had any love for their land.

Imperialism makes backdoor entry

Bangalore: The British came to India as merchants through the East India Co. and then came other Western invaders like the Portuguese, French etc. to do business. After they established their business they gradually took over the country itself.

The upper caste rulers of India (15%) launched their "freedom struggle" not because they hated the Western "invaders" but they wanted to drive them out to make more money and establish their rulership.

Under the leadership of the Congress and M.K. Gandhi, a fake freedom struggle was launched against which only one person had the courage and conviction to fight. That was Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, hailed as the Father of India.

He warned the Congress take-over of India (1947) would be a mere change of rulership. His warning has come true.

Foreign investors will ditch India: According to a report the organised sector is contributing about 10% of the Indian economy. The corporate sector is even less. The much-publicised boom in the Indian stock market must not be taken as a reliable indicator of the state of the national economy and of improvement in the economic conditions of the people. The boom is due to Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) and the return of the laundered dirty money of Indian capitalists.

An economist warns that (1) an unholy alliance has been forged between the FIIs and Indian capitalists which may prove harmful to India's national interests. (2) Gradually foreign investors have begun exercising control over India's corporate sector. May be one can term this as imperialism through backdoor. (3) The boom hinging on FIIs may not last very long. Once they see greener pastures, they will certainly emigrate, leaving grave consequences for the Indian economy.

"India Shining": The "India shining" group may be less than 15% of our population. But they are the rulers. They have the media to shape the "public opinion". As over 80% of Indians are kept as slaves, they hardly have any opposition.

Our legislators are manipulated and made powerless.

We are once again entering into a dark era of zionist-driven Western colonialism. The Brahminical rulers are selling India to White Western rulers. We have been saying this, repeating it. But the killer Bush visit to India finally confirmed it.

Menace of IT

Bangalore: How a micro-minority of upper castes are trying to shake and bend the very govt. to its advantage is evident from the outburst of the Karnataka Chief Minister.

Bangalore: Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy on March 3 said his govt. will not "dance to the tunes of information technology (IT) and biotechnology (BT) companies".

"We are not here to listen only to the demands made by IT and BT companies, who hardly employ three to four per cent of our people. Our govt. is for the welfare of the poor people who earn a meagre Rs. 800 to Rs. 900 a month unlike IT professionals whose income is in lakhs", the Chief Minister said at the golden jubilee celebrations of the state Vishwa Karma Samaj here. (Hindu, March 6, 2006).

This IT-BT "India Shiningwalas" may be a negligible minority but they have created enough problem and tensions in Bangalore which is made to think that the whole city is living for their sake. As most of the IT-BTwalas are upper castes their Brahminical jatavalas in the media exaggerate their importance.

But the fact is they have created so much of imbalance not only in the whole society but inside their own families —of course without contributing anything to the development of the city.

Lalu has the last laugh in Bihar

Bangalore: Even the upper caste enemies of Lalu Prasad Yadav, who celebrated his defeat in the recent Assembly election, have now started admitting the truth that mere change of leadership will not improve the situation. This is exactly the point we made in our Dec.16, 2005 editorial" Lalu loses but Laluism wins".

Except for a brief rule of Karpoori Thakur, Bihar has been always under the Brahminical rule which broke the back of the vast majority of Bihar comprising the Dalits, Backward Castes, Tribals and Muslims. It was Lalu who gave them courage and made them fight back. In other words, Lalu is responsible for the hundreds of "caste wars" going on in the rural side.

Nitish Kumar boast: In the Patna city itself, the starving, unemployed people resorted to kidnapping the rich and the powerful out of sheer desperation. What else they can do? Chief Minister Nitish Kumar backed by the Hindu terrorist party had proudly claimed that he would put an end to kidnapping to save the rich upper castes, their constituency. Even here they have failed. Deccan Herald's Patna correspondent Abhay Kumar, who uses no opportunity to malign Lalu, admits that under Nitish Kumar things have only worsened:

Patna: This one is surely going to disappoint those who had hoped that Bihar will change (for better) with the change of regime. By govt's own admission, things have gone from bad to worse. The NDA, which made poor law and order its main poll plank in the Nov. Assembly elections, had promised to restore the rule of law in the state within three months if voted to power. Armed with absolute majority and having governed the state for more than three months, the Nitish regime had no qualms in admitting in the assembly that 102 kidnappings had taken place during the last 90 days. (Deccan Herald, March 10, 2006).

Lalu is having the last laugh. The upper castes had pounded Bihar and sucked the last drop of the blood of the SC/ST/BCs and Muslims. Now that the same enemies have removed their only political benefactor, Lalu, will they sit silent? Bihar will be made ungovernable. Nitish supported by the Hindu terrorist party and the manuwadi media will soon realise this truth. If Nitish cannot establish law and order —the single greatest worry of the upper castes —in Patna city itself, will he succeed in the countryside?

Iraq heading towards civil war ?

Bangalore: As this is written (March 15, 2006), the bloodiest Shia-Sunni violence going on in Iraq since the American invasion three years ago is baffling us.

What is the cause of this violence? Is it a civil war between Iraqis themselves? Or is it a zionist-engineered conflict? Or did America provoke it because it failed to defeat Iraq? Or is it a trick resorted to by America to stay on in Iraq? What is more intriguing is why no Western "investigative journalist" is not revealing the hands behind this bloody sectarian violence? This media silence is puzzling.

The killer Bush has failed to defeat Iraq. He is finding an excuse to get out honourably but the Iraqis are not allowing him to quit also. Day by day America is getting sucked into more and more dangerous problems.

Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr and other Shia leaders said that America under zionist inspiration was behind the Feb.22 bombing of the famous Shia shrine at Samarra.

Saddam Hussein is having a hearty laughter inside the jail over the terrible turmoil created inside Iraq by America.
