You will be more ashamed of dalits... if you knew what one dalit is doing to other.. Regarding posts not filled.. there must be someone to satify the requirement.. you just cannot make anyone sit there.... imagine if airline hired an inexperienced dalit pilot just because they have too satisfy the reservation in private sector thing... would you be willing to travel in that plane... Even the great Dr. Ambedkar at the time of writing constitution said that reservation be removed.. but we dalits got habit of spoon feeding.. We are the one who are to be blamed.. if we cannot improve ourselves nobody can help us improve.. let alone government helping us.... show me a country where government has forced reservation on basis of caste... it is plain and clear.. we have to take care of ourselves, educate... since dalits are predominantly illiterate and have nothing to do.. they go for violence and who dies in such case... a poor guy...

Brahmin Vikas writing about dalits as "WE" is laughable.This vikas is nothing but a brahmin WOLF in dalits clothing!
Dalits shouldn't expect handouts from the Governament forever. Dr. Ambedkar is not just property of Dalits but belongs to all of India. Every Indian is proud of him. Burning public property and trains is not the solution to your frustrations. All those idiots who burned public propert should be rounded up and made to pay for damages. Ambedkar would whole heartedly agree with this.

Reservations are legislative (not judicial or society) response to historical social evils to certain sections of the society. Government should scrap reservations when 85% of marriages in India are inter-caste or inter-religious.
In the name of Dalit rights,causing havoc in the country is not fair.Burning Deccan queen is what terrorosts will do. Dalit leaders should go the villages to help the vilage Dalits where actual problems exist for the dalits. In urban india, most people are more aware.Such instances are not caused by welldeserving citizens,but by anti social elements.If Ambdekar's statute was desecrated, it is defintely from anti social elements.But causing harm to everydody is not fair. The sad part is rich dalits are using all rights and they fight for these rights.they do not deserve such benefits.It is only dalits in remote villages who should be getting benefits.There is considerable anger in society becuse of "rich Dalits and rich Dalit politicians/leaders".What does a poor brahmin get!this is highly unfair.Ambedkar was one of the greatest leaders of India and his name is misused by Dalit politicians.They want name/fame/power and money and not welfare of Dalits. Law should take its course here and culprits caught. A poor dalist child not having food is far greater issue than any issue.Unemployment is the real issue.Bring up such issues. May good sense prevail in India

Anger among dalits is understandable but the expression of anger in the form of violence is bad. Udit Raj talks about demolition of ambedkar statue which is definitely a crime but why doesnot any one worry about breaking of mahatma gandhi statues or statue of any other freedom fighter. It is time not to provoke one community against the other. Protest should be made but peacefully, not by burning and destroying government property.
The author is obviously trying to gain political mileage out of the riots, not unlike the very politicians that he criticizes so passionately. Justifying riots as a means of protest besides being despicable, is just plain incorrect. This was not a form of protest, this was a case of peeople trying to bully the country into spoon feeding them exactly what they want, whether it is in the larger interests of the nation or not. Riots are a means of holding the country hostage, and should never be tolerated or justified no matter how 'emotional' the people are.
Just because the Dalits have been demanding something does not mean that they should automatically get it. There are other communitiess with a voice in the indian democracy that do not want reservations, and the dalits will have to accept that. If tthe Dalit community wants something, it must achieve it democratically,resorting to riots and justifying them only makes their case weaker.
I can perfectly understand why Dalits rioted after their icon's statue was desecrated. But, how can any individuals take the law into their own hands, however mighty the cause may be? Reading your article, it seems that you're justifying the behaviour of a few goondas and rogues. In India, it's a habit to glorify poverty and backwardness. Everybody seems to work for the "poor" but nobody's lot improves except their own. It's a national problem but the SCs & STs in this country seem to perennially blame the middle-class for their problems. Our ancestors committed some sins against your ancestors, but that doesn't mean we should be penalized for it. We're not your enemies, we want to see everybody do well in this country so that OUR country develops. Let's not fall prey to the designs of the selfish politicians by fighting amongst ourselves.
There is only one Caste; The Caste of Humanity. There is only one Religion; The Religion of Love.

Why not Dalits get angry? If persons like Nath who has pessimistic notions about the "merit" of Dalits, there is every reasons for them to get angry; not only when some thing as heinous as Kanpur and Khailaranji incidents happen. The minority Hindus (Brahman/Baniya) play their tricks and OBCs in their effort to move upward tend to fall prays for the Brahminical tactics eventually leading them to commit atrocities agaianst the asserting Dalits. Reservation is one way of addressing the 'caste question' and one can't deny the fact that only Reservation POlicy of Indian Govt become at least successful, though the Brahmincal bureaucracy and Judiciary attempt to downplay it at any cost. Unless and until DAlitisation of Indian society be materialised, violence will remain an emancipatory project for the oppressed.

How many inter-caste or inter-religious marriages are there in your family?
Reservations in armed forces will distroy this country. This begger is begging for reservations in every thing. Simpley giving reservations to unqualified and inefficient people will not help the cause.Let them make qualified for these jobs. The govt should provide quality education and give them training to compete with other classes.We can not have unqualified and inefficient persons in the armed forces fighting the enemy.

Some idiots descecrated a statue however revered it is doesn't give anyone whosoever it is any right or whatsoever to go on a rampage and destroy property and resources.
Aren't dalits fighting for their rights? their status in the society where they are oppressed? Shouldn't they know better on this. Didn't they know they should not do the same thing that were done to them by the oppresive classes?
Such behaviour by anyone whoever it is inexcusable and unacceptable!.
