What A Misfortune Our 10 Million Bahujan Elites Have Failed DV

As a child I used to see a gramophone with the picture of a dog sitting and listening before the speaker. After some years I could understand the meaning of HMV written thereon. That meant His Master’s Voice. Later Dalit Voice once again told me in the 80s my master’s voice that meant Babasaheb Ambedkar’s voice to the Bahujans. Besides, V.T. Rajshekar is a master in his own right. We read his Voice on total liberation of Dalits from the cruel vama system of Brahmins. Though I have learnt a lot from other scholars, DV’s contribution and clear-cut ideology of VIR has enriched me and made me sharp. I have read man y scholarly books but DV’s guidance is unparaileled. It was not easy for me to write and speak in English freely. This problem was solved by DV. I could now express my opinions freely in English because of DV. I could not find a single English Dalit magzazine that is equal to DV, it is our misfortune that the 1-crore (10 million) educated and well- settled Dalit-Backwards could not support the country’s only Bahujan journal which alone has the capacity to defeat the mighty Brahminical enemy. Despite all the odds, DV completed 25 years thus proving that devoted scholars like VIR can certainly bring the socio-cultural revolution, I am always at the services of DV and the great VTR.
