On Jan.30, it held a sham election
in Iraq to fool those who are willing to be fooled. The people
of Iraq whether Sunni, Shia or even Khurds hate the invading Americans.
But Bush says the invaders will not quit even after the "democratically
elected govt." takes office. The American wealth and military power has so much overpowered the world that nobody, not even China ÑÊwhich alone has the capacity to challenge America today ÑÊhas the courage to protest. The UN is a silent spectator. We expect chaos, more chaos and bloody violence to take over Iraq. Perhaps American rulers enjoy such reckless cruelty.
Bangalore Our fears that the AIDS disease being a White Western racist conspiracy against Blacks and India's Black Untouchables are shared by a large number of peoples all over the world. DV had some Debate on that. We now have a report in the Guardian about the American Black fears. CIA plot Why AIDS is striking mainly the Blacks? Why India's upper caste rulers are so worried over AIDS? Why South Africa, the Continent's most powerful country challenging the White Rulers, is targeted by AIDS heroes? Our people must ponder.

DV workshop Chandigarh "Sikhism on death bed", as highlighted in the Dalit Voice Editorial of Feb.1, 2005, is expected to dominate the Chandigarh workshop of DV family members scheduled for March 11-13, 2005. Our Editor's recent visit to Chandigarh (Jan.19) on the invitation of Jat Sikhs in this connection, the joint meeting he had with Jat Sikhs and Dalits indicate the growing cooperation between the two to save Sikhism from Brahminism. The Editor in his speech to the Sikh Students Federation at Punjab University on Jan.19 made it clear that "during the worst crisis faced by the different Sikh gurus, it was the Dalits who stood by the gurus, fought with the gurus and died with the gurus". SIKHISM IS DALIT RELIGION In a way the Editor created history because he brought
together for the first time the estranged Jat Sikhs and Dalits.
He demolished the Brahminical barrier built between the two sections.
His declaration that "Sikhism is a Dalit religion" and
that the "military religion started by the Dalit saints can
be saved only by the Dalits", brought tremendous response
from the Jats. " We are surprised how some upper caste Sikhs now think that Sikhism is their religion. No, Sikhism is the Dalit religion". Then he added BRAHMINISM AS ENEMY The Editor then asked the Sikhs to identify the enemy. "If
you Sikhs want to fight Brahminism, then it is your duty to first
identify the enemy. Have you done it? If so, are we Dalits your
enemy? If we are not your enemy, why do you torment us? If we are
not your enemy then join us in fighting our common enemy". Finally this meeting of Sikhs and Dalits took place
today and together we will have to fight the enemy. " If you go through Sikh history, it is clear that Dalits took part in Sikh revolution in a big way. The people who are now called Dalits were originally Budhists. That is why they only were capable of launching Sikhism after the fall of Budhism. Throughout the Sikh struggle they fought shoulder to shoulder with the 10 gurus. Not only we fight Brahminism but also the Dasam Granth manufactured by Brahmins. Together we shall make history. " (loud cheers). The Editor's speech to the Sikh Students Federation and later the meeting of Dalits and SSF leaders that took place at Ambedkar Bhawan has given a new hope to the sinking Sikhs. During the forthcoming Chandigarh workshop the union of two mighty forces is expected to take a definite shape.
Chandigarh After about 20 years, Editor V.T. Rajshekar visited the Burail jail here on Jan.20, 2004, accompanied by a DV family member, Sardar Fateh Jung Singh, a Dalit Sikh. The Editor was here to address the militant Sikhs of the Sikh Student Federation at the Punjab University. The Editor's arrest in 1986 created history. He was arrested for writing an Editorial in DV on the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by a Dalit Sikh, Beant Singh, who was a bodyguard of the PM. He felt so upset when his "nation" of Sikhs was unjustly attacked, killing thousands of Sikhs in the "Blue Star Operation". It was a Brahminical war on the brave Sikhs led by Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale who was killed inside the Golden Temple, the Akal Takht demolished by the army. This was the first time the Govt. of India was using army to fight its own citizens. Hindu war on Sikhs Dalit Voice has announced four documents in its possession written by eminent non-Sikhs on this "Hindu war on Sikhs". (Photocopies may be ordered Rs. 150). The Editor like millions of other concerned Indians felt so upset by this Hindu war and wrote a master piece editorial which was reprinted by Sardar Sukhdev Singh, a noted Chandigarh Sikh journalist in his weekly paper, Dignity, which led to his arrest under TADA (Terrorist Act). When he went in appeal to the Supreme Court, the police had nothing to defend their action except arresting our Editor, the real author of the Dignity article. The arrest made our Editor darling of the entire
Sikhs inside and outside India. The arrest made him the hero of whole Punjab. Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, then general secretary of the Akali Dal who later became a Union Minister in the BJP-led Govt., had met the Editor in jail and after thanking him for coming to the support of the Sikhs in their critical hour of distress, he offered to get him elected to Parliament from any seat in Punjab. All the important writings in Dalit Voice relating to the Sikh struggle for self-determination were later published as a document Birth Pangs of Khalistan (pp. 40) which is dedicated to the martyred Sant Bhindranwale whom the Editor had met in Delhi in 1982. All the copies of the document are sold out like hot cakes then itself. Only a photocopy is now available. Rs. 65. Sikhism is actually dead The Editor earlier met two important Jat Sikh leaders who were with him in the jail. One is Major-General Narinder Singh who is about 80 now and a top Sikh leader of Punjab. He is a very sad man today. He told the Editor "it is wrong to say that Sikhism is facing slow death. Sikhism is actually dead and gone. The Akali Dal which is in the grip of Hindu nazis has deliberately killed Sikhism. The Golden Temple itself is popularising the Brahmin-manufactured Dasam Granth and the chief priest Vedanti has given a directive that no Sikh should criticise it." The other Sikh jailmate of the Editor is Rajinder Singh of Shiromani Khalsa Panchayat. Brahminical people killed Sikhism just as they did with Budhism. The Editor also met his old friend, Sardar Gurtej Singh, who resigned as IAS officer from Andhra Pradesh to devote himself to Sikh affairs and later became a professor of Sikhism. Brother Gurtej also spoke about the pathetic state of Sikhism. It is learnt that the Brahminical people have set up one Wirsa Singh, a Brahmin-turned Sikh, with headquarters in Delhi and millions of rupees at his command to destroy Sikhism. DV will be too happy to receive any reports on the machinations of this Sikh saboteur. Already Arya Samaj, Radho Swami, Nirankari etc. have divided the Dalits. Dasam Granth has come to finally kill Sikhism. Vaidik threat to kill Editor OUR CORRESPONDENT Bangalore A vaidik admirer of the Hindu nazi leader, Pejawara Swami, has given a call to his jati people to murder our Editor, V.T. Rajshekar. His
email of Jan.27, however,
does not disclose his
name or address Ñamply
proving the cowardliness
of such hate-mongers
who always use innocents
to do their heinous crimes
of which history bears
enough testimony. The
message runs like this The fortnightly issue of Jan.31 of Dalit Voice is a nonsense written against Great Swamiji of Pejawar Mutt. He is a living legend. It is our luck that we have seen him in our life time. He is like a God Krishna's messenger. Whoever talks rubbish of him is like telling to Lord Krishna. The result for such people is well known from the Mahabharata. The same fate of Dhuryodhana, Shakuni, Shishupala and Dantavakra will be awaiting those modern-day Rakshas. Pass on this message to the writer of fortnightly issue of Jan.31. He
is referring to the DV
Editorial of Jan.16-31,
2005, "...Slap
on the face of Pejawara
Swami". History
says the Rakshas, the
original inhabitants
of India, protested against
the reckless killing
of cows and burning of
precious food by the
invading vaidiks in their
yagnas and yagas. The
history has hundreds
of cases of vaidiks resorting
to mass murders and mayhem.
(K.S. Bhagavan, Violence in
Hinduism, DSA, 1986).
On one side the vaidiks
fool the world saying
that their Hinduism is
the only non-violent
religion in the whole
world and on another
side they resort to reckless
killings. Editor
not afraid of death But
the Editor is not afraid
of death. He has already
faced two attempts
on his life. Plus innumerable
vaidik punishments. Verdict of history The Pejawara Swami's action of demolishing the Kanaka Gopura is criticised not merely by our Editor but by the very Govt. of Karnataka itself and the entire people of Karnataka Ñ barring some lunatic fringe of the vaidik hate-mongers. Sitting outside India, it is very easy to sound heroic and get claps from the wicked and the crooked. If the vaidiks think that by killing people and destroying precious property they can govern India they are mistaken. History has already pronounced its verdict on these hate-mongers. How
DV suffered under mother
tongue mania Bangalore We have been the greatest advocates of English from the very beginning Ñ facing terrible criticisms from Dalits who have been made addicts of their mother tongue. DV has suffered a lot because of the language problem which the vaidiks fully exploited to their advantage. Vaidiks have no love either for their mother tongue or their "motherland". They love only that which brings them profits. They have their own toilet papers to propagate their falsehood. We have our little Dalit Voice which our own Brahminised Dalits hate. DV is the worst sufferer because of this mother tongue mania. Even such a great scholar in Tamil, Periyar E.V. Ramaswamy, asked our people to dump all Indian languages including his own ancient and rich Tamil in the Bay of Bengal and take to English. But how to convince our people?
