Bangalore: Dalit Voice stand on Telengana was made clear in our Jan. 1, 2010 report: “DV supports Telengana & all small states. The current turmoil in the whole of AP proves that the “nationality question” will break “Hindu India” into pieces and the Hindutva heroes will have to commit suicide. All their trillion dollar investment on hoisting their Bharat Mata on the unwilling non-Hindu, if not anti-Hindu, SC/ST/OBCs (65%) and Muslim/Christian, Sikhs(20%) has become a waste.
UPPER CASTE MENACE
The boiling anger in AP led by the Telengana youth has sounded the bugle.
Ms. R. Akhileswari, the Deccan Herald correspondent in Hyderabad, says the current the Telengana upsurge is as historic on the lines of Telengana armed struggle of the 1940s, led by the communists who in turn were led by the Brahmins, Reddis, Khammas and Velamas – all upper caste exploiters. Will the current Telengana upsurge will be ultimately hijacked by the same forces? This is our fear.
GADDAR MUST LEAD
The revolutionary Dalit leader, Gaddar, must therefore plunge straight into the current agitation and take over its leadership. Such a step will also help him get liberation from the clutches of the Brahmin-Reddy-Khamma stranglehold on the Maoist Party which is using him as their errand boy. Gaddar leadership will automatically keep the upper castes out.
MUSLIM FEAR
Meanwhile, the Muslims of Hyderabad City, which has 40% of its population, are deeply worried that the agitation for Telengana of which Hyderabad is part, may strengthen Hindu terrorist forces. TRS chief Chandrasekhar Rao, a Velama, is a staunch Hindu nazi. Majlise- Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM) has five MLAs and one Lok Sabha member from Hyderabad.
Hyderabad City was the capital of Nizam’s Hyderabad state and everything in Hyderabad has the smell, taste, feel and sound of Muslim.
Already the influx of upper castes from Andhra and Rayalaseema regions has pushed the powerful Hyderabad Muslims once its ruling class to poverty and into its old city converted into a big slum.’
UNION TERRITORY
So the Muslims have every right to secure their share which they feel can be assured if the city is made into a union territory like Chandigarh.
The total chaos and the breakdown of all political partes in the whole of AP proves the frequent DV warnings that India is not a “nation” but a country of hundreds of nationalities each craving for nationhood.
