I was amazed to see on June 14 the power of unity of different Dalit organizations in London brought thousands of them to protest against the killings of Sant Ramanand ji at Vienna. Thousands of them converged at Hyde Park corner and marched to the Indian High Commission to give him a memorandum against the caste-based discrimination against the Dalits in India. Caste issue is now becoming important in Europe also. The show of strength by the Ravidasi, Buddhist, Ambedkarite groups in London was fantastic.
The show was extremely impressive with marchers having different placards like “Down with Casteism”, “Down with terrorism”, we want freedom to worship, We oppose controlling of gurudwaras by the high caste Sikhs. Buses filled with Dalits came from Middlesex, South Hall.
