Bangalore: Brahminical micro-minority people sit on a mountain of lies and rule this 1,2000 million-strong country. From centuries they have been doing this.
A Hindu terrorist party leader, Tamil papan, Gurumurthy, has come out with yet another lie to character assassinate Babasaheb Ambedkar’s spotless life.
In an article titled “A Tapasvi dies unnoticed” dated 31-10-2004 (http://www.gurumurthy.net), he says in an obituary note on the death of Hindu terrorist leader Dattopant Thengadi.
Thengadi could talk with authority about Babasaheb Ambedkar because he was full time with Ambedkar in the last four years of Babasahebs life.
What Thengadi told me further was stunning. He said I was eye witness to Babasaheb’s tensions and problems. He recalled Babasaheb wanted the Hindu sants and religious heads to declare openly that untouchability did not have the sanction of Hindu religious scripts. RSS efforts in this direction were not bearing fruit. But Babasaheb told Thengadi that time was running out. His health was deteriorating fast in 1954. Babasaheb told Thengadi that I have faith in the process of the RSS in removing untouchability. But that is too slow. I cannot wait because I will not live to see
the end of the problem. Thengadi also recalled what made Babasaheb embrace Buddhism, in Babasaheb’s own words thus: if I did not show the way for this helpless community they would be hunted down by Christian church and the communists. What Babasaheb wanted the Hindu religious leaders to do in 1954, RSS could persuade them to do only a decade later, in 1965, in a conference of Hindu religious leaders in Udipi organized by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad. This made many, me included, insist that Thengadi wrote on his days with Babasaheb. A couple of months before Thengadi died he did this too, and his book on Babasaheb Ambedkar was also released.
Dr. Anand Tel Tumbde, however, doubts the authenticity of Gurumurthy statement:
Thengadi did write this in his book. However, its authenticity is questionable. But certain things allude to truth that Dr. Ambedkar had great anxiety because of his failing health. He did think that if Dalits are not converted to Budhism they would become communists. In 1952, he had written to Dadasaheb Gaikwad that his methods do not seem to work and people could become communists.
Scholars like Dr. Jamanadas should clarify and refute the lies – EDITOR.
