The “Closing down DV” announcement (DV June 1, 2010) is a heart-breaking news. DV gave us dignity, a respected English journal of international repute, a wholesome journal covering every subject needed for our intellectual development.
More than that you groomed Dalit writers like Dr. Jamanadas, Dr. Chandanshive, Ayyankali inside India and made them famous. Brig. Usman Khalid, London. The very first page I open every time on receiving DV is the “Letters” column which is a treat to my “soul”.
“Caste identity” thesis: DV corrected Dr. Ambedkar’s famous “Three Commandments”, mischievously twisted by the Brahminical enemy, fought the poisonous Vipassana being sold by the Marwari Goenka, supported Kanshi Ram in his difficult days and got respectability to BSP, propounded your famous “caste identity” thesis, popularised the Dalit- Muslim unity theory, exposed the Manuwadi marxist crooks. And more than anything the “Jews and the Jews of India” theory is the brightest feather on your cap. But there is no point in raising all these subjects and adding to the heart-burning of our thinking DV family members.
Dalits have been ungrateful to their own Father, what will they care for you?
What really shocked me was when many a born Dalit betrayed Dr. Ambedkar and ran after power, money, and publicity, you despite being a non-Dalit (born OBC), have been a diehard Ambedkarite compared to the best of the better Ambedkarites. I am a clerk in a govt. office. Can send just Rs. 100 with your permission.
