Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s patriotic voice echoed at the Round Table Conference where he called the attention of the British Prime Minister to the problem of Apartheid in India He made an eloquent speech on the emancipation of the Untouchables from the Hindu slavery and stressed the importance of the political safeguards to these helpless Wretched of the Earth. Consequently it paved the way for the grant of Communal Award on August 17, 1932. It gave separate electorate to the minorities and the Untouchables. As a matter of fact Gandhi never objected to the separate electorate for Muslims and Sikhs though socially. politically and economically they were more advanced than the Untouchables. Yet he opposed tooth and nail when the same political rights were given to the Untouchables. This was Gandhi. Later, he began his fast-unto death on Sept. 20 1932 to protest the grant of separate electorate to the Untouchables. Ambedkar was tricked and forced to surrender and he saved the life of Gandhi who broke his fast on Sept. 26, 1932 by accepting the joint electorate with reservations and concessions. This agreement is known as the Poona Pact, “the first blow inflict ed upon Untouchables”, as Ambedkar put it. This Pact is responsible for the existing plight of the Indian Untouchables. Poona Pact assured us the reservations in elections and govt. services. But this reserved constituency has only produced the poli tical bonded labourers who are today acting as the stooges of Hindu politicians. These bonded labourers are more loyal to their political parties than the Untouchables. They are like those barking dogs outside Hindu houses fed on the thrown out crumbs of rotten bread. They are vying with each other to please their masters. The Hindu capitalists and the Brahminised Congress Party and other Brahminic RSS-BJP Hindu parties are setting up their paid agents to divide the ranks of the Untouchables and their movements. The Hindu political parties organise the dalits through “Harijan cell”. Civil Liberty Protection Movement etc. to divide and disrupt the ranks of the dalits and thus capture their votes. The Republican Party of India founded by Dr. Ambedkar got split into Khobragade, Gavai factions etc., which are now tailing the Hindu capitalist-political parties. There are so many movements in the name of Dr. Ambedkar only destroying Ambedkarism by participating in Hindu conferences, accepting RSS fascism and saving Hinduism. A section of the educated da- Tits who got into govt. services through reservation for which Dr. Ambedkar fought. are ashamed of disclosing their caste identity and pretend to be Hindus. Some dalit officials, L.A.S. officers and most of the MLA. MPs do not even think about their fellow Untouchables. They want their caste only at the time of getting into the govt. services and promotions, Ambedkar’s dreams will not come true unless these neo-Brahmin dalits, who show no interest towards the uplift of their own brothers, are thoroughly exposed. Therefore. Meenakshipuram is the only way: the dalit mass conversion to Islam offers the only solution to get rid of untouchability & shake off the age-old traditional system of slavery. If all the Untouchables, as advocated by Ambedkar had embraced Buddhism it would have been possible for them to get rid of untouchability and establish a classless socialist society in India. Throughout the country. from the Himalayas to Cape Comorin, the Untouchables are daily murdered in day light by the Hindus. Belchi (Bihar) Bhisharampur. Sadupur, Deoli, Muthukulathur, Keelavenmani, Villupuram and now Puliyangudi etc have become symbols, of dalit martyrdom. Moradabad. Jamshedpur. Beharsherif, Hyderabad have become the graveyard of Muslims. Christians were also murdered & shot dead at Mandaikadu. near Kanyakumari. Dalits and other persecuted minorities are becoming the victim of Hindu fury. The RSS and the ruling parties are responsible for killing us and the minorities. Dalits and the minorities like Muslims. Christians and Sikhs form 50 crores of Indian population. If they are organised under a single banner and boycott the Hindu political parties, they can capture political power as well as put down the fascist RSS. Enlist and enroll all the persecuted minorities and make them identify their real enemy so that they may launch the war on Brahminism and the bonded labourers.
