Dalit and RSs are bonding togther !!!
Ideological chalk and cheese shared dais when firebrand Dalit poet Namdeo Dhasal and Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief K Sudarshan came together at a book release function in the Capital on Wednesday.
The internationally renowned poet and Dalit leader is the founder president of Maharashtra's Dalit Panther that has traditionally been at odds with the RSS. The Dalit Panther has for long looked upon the RSS as representing the Brahmanical order. Ironically, Dhasal released a RSS book on Dalit pain at the function.
Dhasal, an outspoken literary figure and the first recipient of the Sahitya Akademi Lifetime Achievement Award, said he was initially reluctant to share the dais with the RSS chief as "Leftist friends would pounce upon me with abuses and accusations that I have shifted camp, but I don't care, because I have only one mission -- to strengthen national unity and social integrity. This can't be achieved if we remain divided in thousands of castes and sub- castes and keep pouring venom against each other. Neither can politics help eradicate castes, which rather thrive on casteist divisions."
He had high hopes, he said, from the RSS, which should get into action to remove the concept of untouchability and castiesm from the country. "Mere speeches and books won't help. The work that RSS outfits like Samarasta Manch are doing in Maharashtra has to be further strengthened," he said.

RSS for Dalit head priests in temples [30 Oct, 2006 l 1835 hrs ISTlINDIATIMES NEWS NETWORK] Print Save EMail
NEW DELHI: In what could raise eyebrows in several circles, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh mouthpiece Panchjanya has suggested that Dalits and other backward classes be trained and appointed as head priests at major temples in the country.
An editorial in the latest issue of the weekly exhorts Hindus to come together by erasing caste lines. The article, %u201CMuslim vote politics on the banks of the Ganga%u201D, says Hindus are responsible for the sad plight of their major places of worship. The overt implication -- that a lack of unity among the Hindu community has led to its customs and traditions being run to the ground.
The Panchjanya criticises a reported Iftar held by Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mulayam Singh Yadav at the Har ki Pauri ghat in Hardwar, a place held sacred by the majority community, earlier this month. That elections are round the corner in UP is pertinent, it points out. In this context, it also refers to %u201Csecular parties celebrating the arrest of Shankaracharya on Diwali night%u201D.
%u201CThe time has come to strengthen Hindu unity and ensure that along with those priests who are born Brahmins, Dalits and other backward classes are trained and made priests. For this, the entire Hindu community must come together,%u201D the editorial exhorts, promising the participation of swayamsevaks in such an exercise.
Apart from taking pot shots at %u201Csecular parties%u201D, the article talks at length about religious tolerance that exists among most communities and blames vote politics for incidents that provoke extreme reaction by hurting the sentiments of one or the other community
