Turkey rejects Ataturk & secularism

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: What all we said on Turkey have proved correct. The minority anti-Islamic forces inside Turkey aided and abetted by the West suffered a crushing defeat in the recent Turkish elections. Prime Minister Erdogan’s Islamic Party won a big victory in the July 22 election.

The anti-Muslim West which consistently kept Turkey out of European Union (EU) did its best to get Erdogan defeated. But they all failed. DV has been repeatedly telling Turkey not to knock on the doors of EU but go back to its Islamic roots and play a leading role to fight the Western war on Muslims and Islam.

The election results proved that Turkey has decisively rejected Turkey’s founder Kemal Ataturk’s policy of Westernisation and Turkey’s minority rich Muslims efforts to turn Turkey against Islam and then join the European Union. DV has proved right. Erdogan’s A.K. Party draws its support from the poorer Turks who form a big majority. Erdogan might have pledged before and after the elections to step up efforts to join EU’s “Christian club”. But with the election of Sarkozy, the Muslim-hating racist Jew as French President, Turkey has no chance of joining this exclusive club.

The country’s minority rich Muslims as exploiters have gained a lot under Ataturk’s policies promoted by the dictatorial Turkish Army. Both the “secular” Muslims and their guardian in the Army have suffered a slap on their face.

Now that the people of Turkey have given Erdogan a clear mandate, he must fulfil their wishes one by one.


Dalits must get ready for class-caste war

A CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: DV must give a call to organise an all-India Dalit Ex-servicemens’ League which is much more important than forming a Dalit human rights organisation. This is because there are several signs that we may face yet another great global economic depression very soon. Wen the USSR collapsed, nuclear weapons became available on the black market. Similarly, after a US dollar collapse history will repeat.

Even China’s economy may crash if US crashes because China is dependent on the US market. That is why China is not squeezing the US so hard. But even China may not be able to help USA for a long time and the inevitable global economic crash may simply happen.

In fact, the zionists in the US are already aware of this and are trying to crash the global economy and introduce a new currency called “Amero” to compete with the Euro. They are also planning to attack Iran. At this point, we do not know if the US economy will crash before they attack Iran or after. All we know is that there are distinct signs of a global economic crash and an Iran attack. We may even see both happening together.

India and Pakistan too will not escape all this. Nor will China. All the three have the nuclear weapons — which may enter the black market if and when the global economy crashes and the “Jews of India” may try to impose their dictatorship. During such a crisis situation caste-class struggles will intensify and reach a revolutionary crescendo due to sheer economic pressure.

Brahminical people will never accept the verdict of democracy but try to clamp a fascist dictatorship. Any future victory against such master-criminal crooks, who have kept our people in bondage for 5,000 years, will be possible only with a perfect self-defence. We must take full advantage of the global collapse and must not lose the historic opportunity.

Not only we must use “caste identity” theory, but we must use even other means. So we must organise and recruit Dalit scientists who are being discriminated against into a revolutionary scientists’ league and a Dalit ex-servicemen’s league.

If the global economy collapses and if we miss the chance, then we would have only ourselves to blame. We must also launch a revolutionary Bodh Gaya liberation movement, private sector reservation struggle, demand reservation in the armed forces as well as demand separate electorate.

Dalits cannot afford to throw away the weapons of maoism and allow the Brahminical forces to monopolise it. Maoism is becoming extremely fashionable to Brahmins. Dalits must form their own Maoist Party under Com. Gaddar.


“Caste identity” criticised at DV silver jubilee

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: The Andhra Pradesh Dalit Voice silver jubilee day-long celebrations held in Hyderabad on Aug.12 was a big success. Not only the Madina Education Centre Hall in the heart of the city was packed from beginning to end but it attracted five DV members from far off Bombay led by Munlivasi Mala. Editor V.T. Rajshekar delivered a forceful speech both in the morning and evening session.

The highlight of the session was a surprise attack on the Editor’s “caste identity” thesis by AP’s noted Dalit leader Bojja Tarakam, an old friend of the Editor, indicating the AP’s Mala-Madiga rivalry is still boiling.

He said DV was trying to divide the Dalits and deviating from the path laid by Dr. Ambedkar.

Incidentally, it was Tarakam’s article criticising the Editor (DV July 16, 1996 p.5: “Call to strengthen each jati goes against Babasaheb’s call”) that led to a six-year-long debate on “caste identity”, the longest in the history of DV.

Madiga demand: Tarakam is a respected Dalit leader of AP but his criticism was not shared by the Madigas and even other fair-minded Malas including Gaddar who was present. There are many jatis within the Scheduled Castes in AP and Madigas (Chamars) are the most prominent. Their demand is that the SC reservation quota should be divided in proportion to the population of each jati.

Since DV stands for social justice it fully supports the Madiga demand for categorisation. The Mala opposition to this has divided the Dalit movement in AP.

A detailed report on the Hyderabad meting, held under the leadership of Dr. Yadaiah, will be published in the next issue.


UN report calls Indian govt. bluffs : Claims of 10% growth rate

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: The Indian Prime Minister, its Finance Minister and the Planning Commission go on telling us that India is bursting with prosperity, heading towards a 10% growth rate and competing even with China. But Dalit Voice has been continuously calling the bluffs of India’s upper caste rulers. Our newly started “India Shining” column gives only the official versions published in the “national” toilet papers. The latest is the report of the United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and how far India has tried to meet the target. The figures reveal the utter failure of the Manmohan Singh Govt. and the report below reveals the shocking truth.

This is proved in the note by the Wada Na Todo Abhiyan — National Secretariat, C-1/E-Second Floor, Behind Yusuf Sarai Gurudwara, Green Park Extension, New Delhi - 110 016:

In Sept.2000, 189 countries in the UN came together in the largest gathering of world leaders in history to adopt the UN Millennium Declaration, and thereby pledge that their countries will act to significantly reduce the extreme poverty and inequality that affected over a billion people at the turn of the century (70% of them being women) and contribute to the creation of a “more peaceful, prosperous and just world”.

Importance of MDG: MDGs are a concise set of goals, numerical targets and quantifiable indicators to assess progress in world development for the period of achievement set out in the Millennium Declaration, namely 2000-2015. The MDG set includes 8 goals, 18 targets and over 40 indicators. Since the adoption of the UN Millennium Declaration, both governments and citizens in countries across the world have adopted the MDGs as a measure of their progress on key development indicators, and have galvanized largescale support for its achievement.

India has an all-important role to play in the achievement of the MDG.

At the turn of century, India alone accounted for nearly one-fourth (364 million) of the word’s poor. India accounts for the largest number of maternal deaths in the world and its dismal rates of infant mortality and maternal mortality are worse than those in some countries of sub-Saharan Africa. India is also home to the highest number of undernourished people in the world, and one-third of the world’s under-weight children. Public spending on health in India as a % of GDP is less than in countries like Sri Lanka and Sierra Leone. Currently India spends close to 3% of its GDP on education and less than 1% of its GDP on health.

In 2007, which marks the mid-point of the period agreed by the UN member states for the achievement of the MDG, 34.7% of India’s population lives below the global poverty standard of less than $1 per day consumption during 1990-2001. In 2004-05, this figure was approximately 7% lower, at 27.8%. A staggering 45.9% of children under the age of 3 are underweight, 38.4% are stunted, and 19.1% wasted.

The net enrolment ratio in primary education for both sexes was 89.7% in 2004. For girls it stands 87% and 92.2% for boys. The national development goals aim to increase the primary school enrolment rate to 100% and wipe out the drop-outs by 2015, as against 41.96% in 1991-92.

Critical indicators

¨An estimated 431 million people living with $1 per day (with purchasing power parity) in the South Asia region, of which 364 m are in India.

¨Foodgrain absorption has declined drastically over the last decade. It is currently estimated at about 155 kg per capita per annum, which is close to the absorption rate during the West Bengal Famine of the 1940s.

¨Primary education completion rate still quite low in India (59%).

¨In Class I to V, dropout rates are very high in Bihar (60%), Rajasthan (55%), UP (50%) and Orissa (50%).

¨MMR (per 100,000 live births) is alarmingly high. In states like UP (707) and Rajasthan (670), the ratios are among the worst in the world.

¨Among the children under 5 years of age, 54% in Bihar, 55% in MP, 51% in Rajasthan, 52% in UP and 54% in Orissa are underweight.

¨In 2000, as many as 5,09,497 people in Orissa and 1,94,689 people in MP were affected by malaria.

¨TB prevalence rate (per 100,000 population) in India (344) is comparable to that of some countries of sub-Saharan Africa.

¨32% of the people in MP and Rajasthan, 36% of the people in Orissa do not have access to safe water.

¨92% in MP, 91% in Orissa and 67% in UP do not have access to improved sanitation.

¨More than 180 million of the Dalits and 89 million of the Adivasis in the country continue to face acute social and economic deprivation. (info@wadanatodo.net)

9/11 was a hoax

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: DV was the first paper in India to reveal that the 9/11 story was a total falsehood manufactured by the zionists controlling the Bush Administration. We have published important DV references to 9/11 for verification.

The zionists disguising as neocons killed thousands of American innocents to demonstrate the world that 9/11 was the handiwork of the Al-quaida Muslim terrorists hiding in Afghanistan. But the terrorist leader named by the USA, Osama bin Laden, to this day is neither caught nor killed. Nor could they defeat Afghanistan or Iraq.

The Muslims are bravely fighting and also dying without yielding to zionists. But it is neocons (read zionists) who are “dying” one by one. The latest to go is the World Bank chief Paul Wolfowitz, the brain behind the 9/11. Next is Karl Rove.

DV has said all this so bravely and proved right.

Innocent Americans taken for a ride by the zionists must now launch a campaign to try the king of the criminals, President Bush, for treason and see that he is sentenced to death — EDITOR.


Jews take over France

OUR CORRESPONDENT

Bangalore: Shocking news. Zionists have swallowed France — hallowed for its great French Revolution that gave us Liberty, Equality, Fraternity.

Under Nicolas Sarkozy, the new French President, all this will be dead. Because he is not only a Jew and a cantankerous racist but vowed to turn France against Blacks, Muslims but even the native French Christians. That is how he is hitting headlines and has become the darling of the tyrants of the world led by George Bush. The zionist-controlled Western media is giving him a big build-up. Painting him as the leader of whole Europe, so that he will dismantle all that is so painstakingly built by the founding fathers of Modern France.

Jew heads World Bank: The First Freedom, an American English journal published from Silverhill, Alabama, adds:

Nicolas Sarkozy, France’s new President, is allegedly a conservative. So the French were befuddled that, as soon as he was elected, he appointed to high-ranking official positions several leaders of the rival Social-Democratic Party.

However, Sarkozy is above all a Jew. He simply appointed other Jews. Jews are helping each other, and the different political parties to which they belong is secondary. In fact, the French Jews set up two different parties, the conservative and the socialist, to give this illusion of free choice. In reality, the French voters had but a single choice: between Jews and Jews. Sarkozy proceeded to appoint the Social-Democrat, Jew Bernard Kouchner as foreign minister. Sarkozy named social-democrat Jew Dominique Strauss-Kahn to head the International Monetary Fund. Sarkozy appointed on July 11 Social-Democrat Jew Jack Lang to a committee that’s working on the “reform” of French institutions. His campaign was supported by prominent Jewish Social-Democrats Simone Veil and Arno Klarsfeld. Jewish power is consolidating its grip over France.


INDIA SHINING

Govt. admits failure in education

New Delhi: Centre has admitted that the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), which was aimed at ensuring universal quality elementary education, has failed to improve the learning achievements of the children in primary schools. The failure in quality control was a major road block in addressing problems like students absenteeism, increasing drop-out rates and out-of-school children. “Primary school learning achievement is lamentably low”, the Sixth Review Mission of SSA by the Human Resource Development Ministry said in its report. The deadline for achieving universal quality elementary education for all is 2010. Notwithstanding government claims that the SSA had been given top priority with an outlay of about Rs. 6,414 crore (2007-08), the Review Mission observed that improving quality of student learning still remained a major challenge before SSA.

Schools without students

New Delhi: At a time when the country is facing a shortage of educational institutions, over 32,000 schools do not have a single student, a government survey reveals. And Karnataka has the highest number of such schools, standing at 7,945. These institutions, 48% of which are primary schools, are located mostly in rural areas and are in the public sector, says the report “Elementary Education in India 2005-06” that was prepared by National University of Educational Planning and Administration (NUEPA). The survey, which covers 11,24,033 schools in 35 states and union territories found that 2.92% of these schools had zero enrolment. While 15,791 were primary schools, the rest were upper primary, secondary and higher secondary schools.

Agrarian crisis

New Delhi: Sixty years on, rural India is shambles. The most severe agrarian crisis since the eve of the Green Revolution rages on. In 60 years we haven’t managed — except in three states — to push through any serious land reforms or tenancy reforms. But we can clear a Special Economic Zone (SEZ) in six months. In the sixth decade of our “independence”, structural and other inequalities deepen, and rural India is in big trouble. The average monthly per capita expenditure (MPCE) of the Indian farm household is a long way from Rs. 15 lakh. And further from $115,000. It is, in fact, Rs. 503. Not far above the rural poverty line. And that’s a national average, mixing both giant landlords and tiny landholders.

LETERS TO EDITOR

Parvez Khan, Bahnhofvorplatz-2a, 50667-Koln, Germany: I read Nitish Bharradwaj’s hate-filled Letter in the truth-telling Dalit Voice (July 16, 2007, p 14). I have just finished its translation into German and I intend to send it to all the German newspapers in Germany and Switzerland in the print and email format both. The purpose is to show it to the rest of the world that the Hindus are all zionists, fascists and evil and there is no equality between different races in “Fascist India” and “Pappadum India”. India is becoming a Hindu terrorist state and it has been carrying out an ethnic genocide of the Dalits since many thousands years. It has also carried out the genocide of Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and Budhists with impunity. I intend to send your “Gandhi nonsense” which appeared in the DV to all prominent newspapers in Switzerland and Germany, where I live. Switzerland is a trilingual country and along with German, they also speak French and Italian. I will also translate it into French and Italian and would send it to their respective media in Switzerland also. I am determined to expose the “Fascist Hindus” all over the world. We have already given a tarnished image to M.K. Gandhi, who, among the Africans, is now called, Ku Klux Gandhi and also “Fascist Gandhi” in Germany. We have also copied the article from DV regarding “Gandhi prostitutes” in Holland and we sent it to nearly every Dutch newspaper and freelance journalist in Holland. We are also spreading the propaganda that the Hindus drink cow’s urine, which is called, “Gandhi cola”.

Pieter Friedrich (jjamesf@gmail.com): We have been busy with our Sikh Information Centre. Perhaps you heard about the United Nations creation of Oct. 2, Gandhi’s birthday, as an “International Day of Non-Violence”? To protest this, we are arranging to host protests at Gandhi statues in three major American cities on Oct. 2. We are also working to arrange several other events corresponding to that date which will, we hope, draw major attention to the Gandhi problem. Additionally, we have arranged a speech by Col. G.B. Singh, author of Gandhi: Behind the Mask of Divinity. This will take place in Atlanta, Georgia, on Aug. 26, at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center. G.B. Singh will discuss Gandhi’s racism, especially against South African blacks and Indian Dalits.

Ade Banjoko, Barrister, London: I found your Dalit Voice silver jubilee held in London on July 24, 2007 both informative and interesting. With the greatest of respect to Editor V.T. Rajshekar I do not agree that there is a “Black silence in the face of the continued White racism”. Many people in Africa and in the diaspora are not aware of the desperate plight of Dalits of India. I can say though that Runoko Rashidi, a noted African-American historian, has consistently talked of the Blacks of India. He has a website called the global African experience in which he has numerous articles and photographs on the Dalits. The late Dr. Ivan Van Sertima also brought the plight of the Dalits to the attention of the African community. However as this issue is not discussed by many in the Indian Govt. or by Indians openly the topic or issue remains buried and/or ignored. The oppression of the Dalits must be addressed and I am therefore happy to contribute a short article. (adebanjoko@hotmail.com).

Suhail Shehzad, (Pakistani prisoner), Ward No.2, Jaipur Central Jail, Jaipur - 302 001: I am a 49-year-old citizen of Pakistan (r/o Chouck Fauji Basti, Baharnalpur, Pakistan) confined in India for almost 19 years. As per record, I was arrested on 25-3-1988 at Sirsa, Haryana. On 7-5-1990, the CJM court of Sirsa, Haryana, sentenced me to 3 years imprisonment in case no.445/1-1988, u/s of Official Secret Act and u/s 14 of Foreigners Act. On 28-2-1991, I was handed over to Haryana police for deportation. After some 40-50 days, I was handed over to the Rajasthan police. On 19-10-1991, Rajasthan police sent me into Central Jail, Jaipur, implicating in 2 fake cases. On 3-9-1994, the CJM court of Shri Ganganagar acquitted me in the first fake case no:498/91 u/s 14 of Foreigners Act and v/s of IPPR etc. On 27-6-2005, after a trial of 14 years the Dist. & Sessions Court of Jaipur city acquitted me in the second fake case no: 78/95 u/s 3,3/9 of Official Secret Act, and directed the authorities to deport me from India. On the same day, I was detained u/s 109 of GPC for next six months. On 26-12-2005, I was further detained u/s 109 of GPC for next six months.

The State Govt. is deliberately avoiding to deport me and playing delaying tactics to detain me. There is no hope for my early deportation to my country. In these circumstances, I seek the special intervention of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. Kindly admit this letter as my habeas corpus petition.

ZIONISM

(The Real Enemy of the Jews)

Contrary to what most people assume, zionism is not now, nor was it ever co-extensive with Judaism.

Modern Israel is a zionist state, not a Jewish state, The author, a friend of the Editor V.T. Rajshekar, has fully endorsed his thesis that Brahmins are the “Jews of India”. The author does not blame the zionist lobby for exercising its influence, now in shocking and awesome alliance with America’s born-again Christian fundmantalists and the neo-cons, in association with oil interests and the MIC (military industrial complex).

This is the first ever book to put the struggle for Palestine into its global context — to show how all the pieces of a complicated jigsaw puzzle fit together.
