This is an important historical document written by the late B. Shyam Sunder, the great Bhim Sena leader, who can be ranked next only to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar in importance. The document, titled “Federation is a must for Indian minorities”, was written when he was MLA in the Karnataka Assembly (1957-1962), and when “Independent” India was just 13 years young.
Today, at the beginning of the year 2007, India is 60 years old and sufficiently matured. Had Shyam Sunder, an Untouchable Mahar from Maharashtra who was a Minister under the Nizam in Hyderabad, been alive today he would written in pain about the death of democracy unable to bear the blows of Brahminism. When India was just 13 years old, he was feeling so much suffocated by the tyranny of the Brahminical rulers. Had he seen the situation 47 years later what would have been his verdict? We have published a number of historical writings of Shyam Sunder. Those interested may write to us – EDITOR.
