I was reading an article on the net how dalit leaders are against the current anti corruption agitation started by Anna Hazare. Their reason, the whole movement its anti dalit, the language that is being used all over the country aswell as in the Ramleela ground is brahminical. Well, what I was thinking (not that I think a lot or my thinking masters a lot!) any anti corruption law is going to benefit all and the maximum benefit will be for poor of this country. In the name of poor of this country, we have maximum number of programs (NAREGA to name one) and the money is being pocketed by the powerfuls (irrespective of their casts).
Dalit leaders of this country have their own reason to oppose a movement like the current one: since Dr. Ambedkar was against satyagraha driven by fasting. On many occasions, he had criticized Gandhi and his supporter got that.
I guess, these dalit leaders have to rethink on what they are saying and thinking. Ideologies cannot be permanent, they age and in today's world they age quite fast, whether you like it or not.
