The real oppresors of the Dalits are not the Brahmins but the OBCs. Brahmins never had the guts to speak against those in power and always allied with them. So Brahmin-Dalit alliance can both save Hinduism and free Dalits from the oppression of the OBCs.

I think that the main issue here is the failure of Hindu society to get rid of birth based caste system and not listening to what Maharishi Dayanand Saraswati said in early 19th century. This is also a failure of Aryasamaj. I appeal to Aryasamajis to become little bit aggressive. Aryasamaj is not only about doing Havans: Instead, hold demonstrations before Hindu temples worshipping monkey (Hanuman was not monkey but a Yogi) and elephant gods, challenge orthodox Hindus for religious debates similar to what Maharishi Dayanand did in his life time, confront orthodox Hindu priests, take the message of Maharishi Dayanand to the masses. We should strive to get rid our society of birth based Caste system, Superstitions and Idol worship. Let every Hindu come back to the true Vedic Religion. If we do not do this then our Hindu (I prefer to call Vedic) society will be destroyed and torn into pieces. Make sure that no one worships in these so called Hindu temples. Probably we can use our ancient temples as tourist attractions--like ancient Greek temples.
Go back to Vedas!

PS: Baba Ramdevji is also Aryasamaji and he is already doing a great job by taking the message of Maharishi to masses.
