Court comes to rescue of drowning upper castes : Desperate bid to restore monstrous Manuwadi rule

We have no words to describe the Supreme Court assault on the Dalits who have just started opening their eyes — thanks to the provision for their representation (reservations) made in the constitution given to them by Dr. Babasaheb.

Alas, the upper caste enemies of Dalits, having failed to confront them democratically, are now using the Supreme Court (SC) to demolish their human rights, brick by brick. We hope at least now the Dalits, the slaves of India, will get angry and make a bid to confront the protectors of justice who have turned into enemies of justice.

The way in which the SC has been firing judgments after judgments against the country’s lowest of the low and the weakest of the weak segment make us fear of something very serious.

We may be wrong. We will be glad if we are proved wrong. Are the upper caste rulers (15%) — having failed to scuttle the country’s march of parliamentary democracy and the empowerment it brought to the oppressed Dalits, Backward Castes, Muslims etc. — using in utter desperation their jatwala judges to demolish and destroy democracy itself and install their Manuwadi monopoly rule?

This micro-minority has done everything to destroy the future of the emerging Bahujans constituting over 85% of its population: SC/ST/BCs (65%) and Muslim/Christian/Sikhs (20%) and thereby destroy the very future of India. They are deeply worried because they are not succeeding to the extent they desired because the oppressed jatis have found a wonder weapon — caste— to fight the casteist Manuwadis. Finally, in desperation they have sought refuge in the Supreme Court which has come to their rescue.

Country ruled by judges: We have said this many times but the court’s latest torrential outbursts one after the other against the very future of Dalits, BCs and Muslims forced us to come to the above conclusion. Never before in the history of the country the SC has presented itself as the arch enemy of the oppressed who constitute the majority population.

It is now clear the court has no respect for either the elected representatives, Parliament or even the very Constitution of which it is a creature. It wants to dictate things to everybody assuming the role of law-makers. Such a thing has not happened in the history of this country. Or perhaps any other country where the rule of law is respected.

The concept of “creamy layer” is not there in the SC/ST reservation Article of the Constitution [16 (4-A) and 16 (4-b)]. But the Oct.19, 2006 ruling of the SC has directed exclusion of the “creamy layer” among SC/ST. The court does not make the law — not to speak of the constitution. Its power is limited only to interpret both.

But the Oct.19, 2006 five-judge bench judgment make us think that the country is now governed not by the elected govt. in accordance with the constitution but it is governed by the judges.

What is much more shocking is this anti-people verdict of the SC has received loud applause from the country’s 15% ruling upper castes. This ruling class does not have the interest of the country at heart. It is only interested in its class and caste interests. It is overjoyed that from interpreting the law and the constitution, the Supreme Court has aggressively taken over the role of directly governing the country.Can such a country, where the very fence is eating the grass, have any future? That the country’s higher judiciary has turned anti-people is now sufficiently clear. The rulers are deliberately weakening the legislature so that the judiciary can step in to take the role of the executive. We have expressed this fear in our recent report. (DV Nov.1, 2006 p.9: “Take back judges appointment power from CJI before judiciary throttles social justice”). As this is written the Supreme Court is looking into the 9th schedule of the constitution which is the only protective cover for the country’s weaker sections. The court wants to destroy this cover also.

That means the court wants to destroy the very future of SC/ST/BCs and pave the way for the Brahminical Manuwadi Hindu Rashtra.

What the Brahmana Jati Party (BJP) failed to do during its chaotic six-year rule under Vaidik Vajpayee, the Supreme Court did with a couple of judgments within a month.

Is it possible for the upper castes to rule and take the country to their heavenly abode after pushing the country’s Dalits and the other oppressed to Arabian Sea? Will the oppressed keep silent?

Perhaps, the Hindu rulers are banking on their Hindu opium which they painlessly injected into the veins of the oppressed SC/ST/BCs making them totally impotent.

Cowardly reservationwalas: That is why till the time of writing this we find hardly any strong reaction from the Hindu opium-drugged SC/ST/BC elites. Forget about acting (this needs moral courage), are the cowardly reservationwalas afraid even to speak out?

We have been extremely critical of this minuscule reservationwalas who constitute not even 5% of the SC/ST population (30%). They have enjoyed the best of cream forgetting their less fortunate uneducated brothers and sisters outside the charmed reserved sector. Over 90% of the SC/STs have not yet tasted the fruits of reservation but our Dalit leaders are unperturbed. When they are not even bothered about Babasaheb and his warning, how can they think of their jati brothers? It is this section of reservationwalas which should have become furious with the Supreme Court hammering on their heads. But till the time of writing this we found them indifferent. Dr. Ambedkar had expressed his agony over the behaviour of this reservationwalas during his last days but even his ringing words of warning did not touch their stone hearts. Quite a number of reservationwalas have married Brahmin girls charmed by their fair skin. Many more were won over by the Brahminical rulers and became their loyal stooges. Some became their barking dogs and some others biting dogs. They became agents of the Brahminical rulers to divide and destroy the up and coming Dalit movement.

The entire Dalit movement, whether political or non-political, is torn to pieces because of these Brahminical agents among Dalits.

The upper castes used them mainly against Dalit Voice which has been vehemently fighting the distortions brought about in the field of Budhism in particular and Dalit movement in general.

Many of these agents were commissioned to propagate that the OBCs are the main enemy of the Dalits. Some others went about brainwashing our people saying that Muslims are our enemy. The aim is to subvert the formation of Bahujan Samaj.

TheseBrahminical agents infiltrated every activity of the Dalits and brought about tremendous confusion. Their whole interest is to destroy the Dalit movement itself. Brother J.R. Antwal’s article (see p.6) that follows this leader expresses these fears.

All those who worked as bum-lickers of Brahmins are now felled in one sweep by the Supreme Court verdict on creamy layer. That is why they are not even protesting while the very future of their children stands shattered. Having been fed by their master how can these barking and biting dogs turn against the master?

All these disturbing thoughts come to us as we ponder over the Supreme Court bulldozer running roughshod over the lives of Dalits.

Fortunately, these bum-lickers of Brahmins are still a minority compared to the vast innocent and good-hearted children of Babasaheb. And it is to them our heart goes. DV has survived and become the country’s “Voice of the persecuted nationalities denied human rights” only because of these silent, incorruptible followers of Dr. Ambedkar.

That is why we call upon such genuine Ambedkarites to launch vigorous protests and force Parliament and its Speaker to confront the Supreme Court to save the rule of law and also save parliamentary democracy from the Hindu nazis.

A special joint session of parliament must meet on the issue of our representation, which is the real meaning of reservation, and avert the rule of Manuwadi monsters once for all. This is the right opportunity and we should not miss it.

DV declares war on
