V.T. Rajshekar, Editor of Dalit Voice, has been unanimously elected president of the newly-formed Bharti Dalit Chintan Sahit Sangh (BDCSS), a socio- cultural organisation to create brotherhood and protect the history and literature of Dalits. (DV Jan.16, 2004 p.15).
This was decided at a meeting of top Dalit intellectuals held at Phagwara, Punjab, on Jan.25, 2004 under my A presidentship.
The Sangh (BDCSS) will find the real history of Moolnivasis and other inhabitants of india and spread the ideology of Budha, Sant Namdev, Sant Kabir, Sant Ravidas, Guru Nanak, Mahatma Phule, Shahu Maharaj, Periyar E.V. Ramaswamy and Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar.
They proposed the name of V.T. Rajshekar as the first national president as he is the Editor of the country’s largest circulated Dalit journal, Dalit Voice, published in English, Hindi, Punjabi and other languages. He is also the author of over 50 books and an intellectual of international repute who has spread the ideology of ¥Dr. Ambedkar at international level.
The first national convention of the BDCSS will be held in 2005. The main object of this organisation is to fight the ideological onslaught of racist, casteist, sexiest and other discriminatory practices in Hindu India and Western countries.
Life-time president: V.T. Rajshekar will select a Muslim as the Sangh gen. secretary, a Christian as vice-president, a Sikh as vice-president and a Budhist as joint secretary. He will also select other members of the national executive. If we constitute a general body of 500 scholars then we can have our first meeting in Delhi. But he will be the permanent life- time national president which he deserves owing to his 25 years of golden services to the Bahujan Samaj. With his world-wide contacts, it may not be difficult for us to achieve our goal
