| All battles are fought, to begin with, within minds. Dalits’ battle for emancipation to ought to follow that universally applauded trajectory. Faced with multiple challenges, some appallingly trifling in nature, Dalits land up fighting on so many fronts at a time. That mists the focus and tires out as well. It makes the task of prioritizing issues even harder. The in-depth churning within can lead to the intended goal, and of course, the judicious path. |

Once a consensus fashioned within, goal appears much clearer, and the path smoother. Once intellectual prowess embraced as the prime clobber, the battle is half won. With intelligence as the sharp shooter, one enters the adversaries’ court unobserved. The antagonist is left with no option but to field all our blasts.
But, contextualizing target in the battle field is easier said than done. To me, the battle field and the goals are unambiguous. If one were to explain India’s Caste Order- Dalits vs. Caste in one line, it would run through the following: “Dalits cannot become masters/employers/thought leaders of non-Dalits”.
Throughout the known history, Dalits have labored for their non-Dalit masters/employers. That must change, and that can change. The day few hundred thousand Dalits turned into employers of non-Dalits, the Caste Order will have got inflicted by incurable backache leaving Manu Dharma hemorrhaged.
Our immediate goal is make India Caste-neutral, and society completely desegregated. Dalits earn their rightful place in India’s public sphere including stock exchanges, centers of knowledge, media, art, literature, theatre and the film world. Dalits get freed from farm work. Accelerating speed of Dalits’ urbanization is critical, and Dalits getting into English system of education extremely important.
Mine is a small mission, and I have a battery of young scholars and motivators. More importantly, no battle is fought without resources. If you think that I am on a right course, join me- intellectually and morally. You can support me materially as well. You can start with Rupee/Euro/Dollar ONE a month, but continue round the year. Each penny you transfer to me will be invested in dismantling the Caste Order and promoting peace, happiness and abundance to all.
