Don't create Dalit-Sikh Rift

Balwant Singh Bohoru, B-257, Ranjit Avenue, amritsar - 143 001
This refers to your Editorial (DV July 1, 2004): "A silent social, cultural revolution sweeps Punjab — Ravi Dass saints gain millions of followers". You have given the true picture of the Dera Sachkhand Ballan in the Jalandhar dt. of Punjab. I was associated with this Dera which began as a tiny shrine of Sant Sarwan Dass, keeping in view of their social and political interest of the family of Master Gurbanta Singh, a Congress Dalit leader who was a Minister in the Punjab Govt. I was posted at Jalandhar (West) as a Block Development Officer from 1967-1970 and again from 1973-1975 while his son, Chaudhry Jagjit Singh was the chairman of the Block Samiti. Now he and his brother, Chaudhry Santokh Singh, both are ministers in the Punjab Govt. The Ballan shrine came under my jurisdiction. I was devoted more towards Dalits than their Dalit officers. Therefore the family got me transferred.Read More

 
Elite Dalits joining Brahmins?

vaibhav wasnik, 1701-N tyndal ave., r2n4, tucson az-85719, usa
I do agree with you that a lot of the so-called Dalit leaders are joining hands with Brahmins. I just don't know what to say.
All those who join Brahmins like Jagjivan Ram and Ram Vilas Paswan etc. will no doubt earn lot of fame, name and money but will be rejected by their own people. So, we need not bother about them. DV is 25 years old and firmly established in the hearts of Ambedkarites. The Brahmin rulers themselves have given us the "certificate" by inflicting a series of cruelest punishments on us. Those who criticise us are close to Brahmins and enjoying their slavery. Why bother about them? We can only pity them. In the past quarter century, we propounded many theories, made several predictions and taken up several campaigns. Every one has met with success and secured whole-hearted approval from our constituency (DV family). Not a single failure. As the Editor of DV, we are responsible only for our constituency. We are answerable only to them. If we are wrong, our family will reject us and punish us — EDITOR.Read More
 
A White man's conspiracy to finish Blacks?

Dr. Leo Rebello, 28/552 - Samata Nagar, Kandivali (E), Bombay - 400 101
AIDS is the greatest myth of our times. In spite of voluminous evidence which shows that HIV is not AIDS, the myth is kept deliberately going so that the following multi-trillion dollar industries keep prospering.Read More
 


Goenka's secret pact with Hindu nazis on Budhism

Dr. K. Jamanadas, "Shalimar", Main Road, Chandrapur - 442 402
Dalit Voice is having a lively Debate on Vipassana. I agree with an ardent Ambedkarite Brother C.C. Hadke, a highly educated Budhist engineer, and also another highly educated engineer, Anil Rangari. But I am sorry to say that W.D. Bakde of Umred (my father-in-law's place) does not try to understand our point. Read More
