We need some more thinking than mere ''Dalithood''
by Ravinder Singh on Dec 06, 2006 10:51 AM

Dear Dr Raj,

With due respect i would disagree with many things that happen in this country in the name of "Dalithood".
As the country's population is empowered with increased awareness I do'nt think riots and forcing will ever generate the social respect Dr Ambedkar deserves. We are undergoing a generation turnover and its so sad to see Dr Ambedkar just as a symbol of dalits and not the architect of a sovereign and republic state. The new generation will never develop a sense of respect for him as his major contribution to this nation is being forgotten in the mess generated in the name of "dalithood"

If dalits are a major force to do riots and have all the time in the worls do spare time for it. They can generate many opportunities of themselves by putting in the same energy they put into rioting. maybe their leaders are to be blamed here for misguiding and not letting them know their potential as en enterpenur or as a skilled worker.

Reservation has been the only hue and cry and I do'nt see that implementing reservation will actually create mass opportunities fo rthem at the first place.

This country needs more constructive population and not rioters may it be anyone.
