None To Save Gujarat If DV Is Stopped

Read your Editorial of May 16 DV on closing down DV. Such a daring, courageous, independent journal should never be closed. We have no alternative in sight. DV is such a brilliant, shining, daring and the only journal of its kind in India to raise the voice of not only Dalits but also of Muslims, Sikhs, Christians who otherwise have no voice at all. None hears the Editor.
VTR is performing tremendous, praiseworthy work. DV is already spread world-wide. Please don’t stop reading the journal. Your complaints against us are quite understandable. It is a pity that Dalits in Gujarat are not fully supporting Dalit Voice. They are under the influence of the Brahminical party. This is made known to them only by DV. Who will do such tremendous work if DV is stopped? Dalits are ignorant of the facts and are misguided and instigated against Muslims.
What you say may be true, but it doesn’t flatter us. Our DV workshop at Ahmedabad, where you were present, was a poor show. Besides, none from Gujarat attended the Delhi function on April 8. Our circulation in your state has gone down like anything. How should the Editor feel when Dalits and Muslims do not come to our support?
Let the slaves go on enjoying their slavery. But we will never be slaves. We are simply fed dup-EDITOR
