I am trying to set up a website for Dalits with a goal of increasing the awareness of our folks to the Western media and public and in the process trying to get our leaders and intellectuals who can contribute and highlight the plight of our people in the process denigrating the people who have been oppressing us. My goal is to unite Dalits and divide Hindus, the slaves of the Brahmins.
Wahsington Monument: If you are wondering how I got your email address, Dr. Jamnadas has been kind enough to share with me. Recently I wrote a letter to Dalit Voice in Bangalore through the Dalitstan Organization president, Ms. Helen Eklund, offering them to put the Dalit Voice on the website. However, my reason for this email is not about that, instead to see if you are interested in encouraging the younger generation of intellectuals. What I mean is new breed of writers not young studs by involving them with our website (dalitstan.org) through your contribution.
Sir, it is a great honor to send/communicate with you through this email. You have no clue how excited and thrilled I am to talk to a great man who has been for decades stood like a pillar of Wahsington Monument for our cause, I am looking forward to hear from you the good news with my fingers crossed.
Yes, I’ll take care of all the expenses and manpower to get the Dalit Voice to the new millennium, I mean to the Internet/web.
However, I do have a personal request that in future that we do have to come up with an easier and acceptable solution to DV. The way we are intending for DV to come on to the web is by scanning all the magazine pages and converting them to postscript format, then putting out on the internet, which will be very laborious and time- consuming.
Here we have to come up with the solution. If you have a computer or an account can you email the articles to us. Do you pay for the email account, do you have access to internet?
I have setup a free email access on our website called www.dalitstan.org (I have saved your email address, vtr@dalitstan.org for you). If this is going to help you let me know before you register for. What you can do is save the article on your personal computer and when you are ready to email just get onto the internet and email it. (it won’t cost you money to access email).
Second question is if you don’t have a computer at home can someone get this typed on their personal computer and email it to us?
Third question is how is DV being printed, does the press have the capability to save it on a diskette and email or regular mail it to us?
We can work around these problems. Please don’t think that I’m trying to avoid. No sir, all I’m doing is to make your job easy and cheap and at the same time we will have the DV on the Net for every ones access which will give more readership and subscription in future.
Also could you please send info on where people can buy your books in the US. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Our Address is: Helen Eklund, President. Dalitstan Org., P.Ο. Box 1302, Stepehnville, Texas 76401, USA.
