I never attended the Vipassana course. So I can’t say anything about the effect of it on the downtrodden Dalit society. But I met one serious Ambedkarite before he joined the Vipassana and after it. I found many changes in his views. Now, he does not criticise our upper caste exploiters, oppressors and Hindu nazis because his blood has stopped boiling and he has become self-contented. He says that now he has no enmity even with such people. He had never before said Jai Ram Ji ki. Sitam Ram or Ram Ram except Jai Bhim and Namo Buddhay. Now he has restrictions in his mind. I think this is due to Vipassana. Dr. Udai Veer Singh has changed his revolutionary path in favour of status quo. I am sorry to lose such a revolutionary Ambedkarite. Dr. Udai Veer Singh was a revolutionary Ambedkarite but the Vipassana has mellowed him just as Mayawati has changed her political ideology from Bahujan to Sarvajan. The example of Udai Veer Singh should prove that Vipassana is harmful to revolutionaries among Dalits. But beneficial to the wicked people to calm their mind in favour of social harmony.
