Unity possible only when Muslims start embracing Dalits

This refers to the Dalit-Muslim unity you are promoting and the article of Ram Kumar of USA: “Dalits: Don’t fight Muslims on behalf of vaidiks” (DV July 1, 2002 p.14).
Dalit massacre in Bangladesh: Ram Kumar has found fault only with Dalits. It is a partial indictment. He does not know the Muslim attitude towards the (non­Muslim) Dalits. Whatever complaints Muslims have against the Hindus, they should not club Dalits along with that. So far all the aggressive acts of Muslims have harmed only the Dalitq.who are not Hindus in fact. Dalits are cunningly “made” Hindu by political compulsion. But Muslims are treating Dalits just as the Hindu dominating class. In the process only Dalits are made the victims of Muslim wrath. Has any Muslim leader thought of it? Did the Muslims care to read the Indian history and study the Indian social structure to find out who are Dalit and who are Indian Muslims?
I have personal experience of Muslim attitude towards Dalits in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) where frequent communal riots had resulted in largescale Dalit massacre.
Muslim leaders should know that as a result of “independence” and division of Bengal, the Hindu population of Bangladesh came down to less than 2%. The rest were all Dalits (Untouchables). All the savage acts committed by the Muslims against the Hindus in Bangladesh after 1950 were committed only against Dalits and not against Hindus.
When we Dalits are close to Muslims and consider them blood brothers and want them to support us in our fight against the brahminical atrocities or exploitation, why the Muslims are not reciprocating? Why the Muslims do not treat us as brothers?
The Muslim anger is against the Hindu. Dalits are also fighting the same enemy. Should not the two join hands? But the Muslim hostility against us make our people keep away from Muslims. Both have to fight together and not against each other. Muslims should also uphold the cause of Dalits in Bangladesh and condemn the Muslim attacks on Dalits.
Dalit-Muslim unity can be established very easily if the Muslim elites take a step forward. Only one-sided efforts of Dalits will be of no avail.
