Dalit Voice continues to echo. Thanks to VTR, DV has become a global phenomenon. Dalit Voice is neither commercial nor literary. It is a mission in true sense as it connects, awakens and organises us, the Mulnivasi Black Untouchables world-wide. It is the only lifeline for our survival kit. I have met Sheetal Markam and Wasnik in Nagpur as we are connected by Tri Iblis series. I had been in Bangalore to attend a seminar but could not meet VTR. The Editor visited Calcutta but my meeting could not take place. We are just connected by the singular link, Dalit Voice. I read and quote DV. I have serious reservations on VTR’s stance on castelogy, Mayawati, Dalit-Muslim unity and Taslima Nasrin. I believe that the organised sector must be involved in any mission to change. I focus on Ambedkarite economics while VTR spends his energy on equations and power sharing. But his global vision is a must for our survival. K.L. Biswas called me from Bombay and assured that Dalit Voice would continue at any cost. Maj. S.G. Barve has been most worried and believed that we should be able to support VTR. Our guide and leader, VTR and DV must continue to prevent darkness.
