Contemporary Dalit Politics and Ambedkar’s Goal of Caste Annihilation
By Ram Puniyani,
On 28th Feb (2014) Ramvilas Paswan of Loktantantrik Jan Party joined the NDA alliance. Same Paswan had left the NDA twelve years ago with the beginning of Gujarat carnage, saying that with the violence in Gujarat he cannot be part of NDA. This time his son formulated the face saver when he said that Modi has received clean chit in the Gujarat carnage. Few days ago another dalit leader Udit Raj directly joined BJP, with the assurance of being given a ticket for forthcoming elections. In Maharashtra, Ramdas Athwaley of Republican Party of India had become part of NDA, and succeeded in being nominated for Rajya Sabha, Upper house of Parliament. There are many others dalits in the fold of BJP directly or in alliance with BJP to be in NDA, for pre poll alliance. Most of these leaders claim to be working on the path shown by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Ambedkar was committed to annihilation of caste and was totally opposed to the concept of Hindu nationalism, as propounded by RSS-BJP.

AAP: The construction of a fantasy!
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.
