By Yogesh Maitreya, A day afterthe Delhi Assembly Election results wereannounced, Indian media has started to exercise its usual prejudiced, hegemonic commentary and telecast over AAP’s win. Meanwhile discriminatory practices (continuously reported by Marathi dailies like Samrat and Mahanak) in Indian villages on the caste lines or even in its urban pockets have been neglected as usual by ‘popular media’ as if AAP’s victory has resolved issues related to most marginalised sections of society or of all Aam Indians. In this process public imagination fed by Delhi’s election result, has further created a biased perception towards AAP in people’s mind.

By Ram Puniyani, Arun Shourie, who was part of NDA, a fellow traveler and an ideologue of BJP wrote several books, many of them against minorities and dalits in particular. One of these which was strongly protested against by large sections of people, dalits in particular, was his “Worshipping False Gods”. In this book he expressed the mind set of RSS-BJP politics towards Ambedkar. In this long bulky volume he was heavily critical of Ambedkar’s ideology, his agitations for democratic values and his struggles for social justice. Now a decade and half later on one side many a dalit leaders, Ramvilas Paswan, Udit Raj, Ramdas Athwaley are vying to sit in the lap of the politics of BJP for apparently their own personal gains on one side and on the other the BJP’s Prime Ministerial Candidate Narendra Modi is going miles to woo the sections of dalits. It is another matter that while doing this in his usual trade mark style he has no qualms about misrepresenting the events, speaking lies and putting the blame of all that has not taken place to his political adversaries.
