Kanshi Ram is no more but his philosphy and open critisicim of manubad will remain as beacon for dalit for ever . No dalit leader in the history dare to do what he has done for the upliftment of the Dalits.
My special tribute to him because I know him very closely and even his cycle yatra in Jammu and Kashmir from where he started his movement was a historic movement. Also I spent many our with him in Delhi .
He was a karam yogi who never had any material ambition and served the down troden dalits sleflesly.
Seeing my social background , he offered me ticket to contest the Assembly election from Jammu and I was agreed and was unsuccessful by only 272 votesleaving behind all national parties candidates.
He advised all the candidates not to be dishearted carry the movement forward. In our defeat with thin margin he saw the dalit samaj has awakening .
Jai Bhim , Jai Kanshi Ramji, Jai Behen Mayabati ji
