J. R. Antwal, Chairman, Federation of All-India SC/ST Employees. P & T Dept.. Bonibay: Of all the articles in DV, your one, “Hinduism vs Untouchables Movment in India”, attracted me very much I admire your deep study of the subject. It is difficult to reform Hinduism. Any religion that divides man & man is a garbage. inhuman. It is by sticking to this oppressive religion the helpless dalits have made their life miserable. But the dalit blood shall not go waste. The tyrants shall repay their debts with compound interest soon. Had Ambedkar got the enlightened dalit society in his life time. Hinduism would have received a crushing blow by this time. We have no other go but to to fight for separate electorate. DV has become a cherished item for dalits here.
Prof. K. J. Parinar, Jamnager: It is a great pleasure to see the steady rise of DV. its reputation spreading even abroad. DV is doing a marvelous service to the dalits & minorities who should now willingly come forward to support it in all the ways.
