Mayawati's Achievement
by Kris iyer on May 14, 2008 12:12 PM   Permalink

Mayawati is special. She has done better than most CMs of U.P. in the last ten years. She is intelligent and courageous. I do not care what her caste is.

Of course, all Indians have to work together for the best results. All this talk of caste will drain our energies. All talk and emotion do not produce results in the real world.

But we need to accept that Mayawati has produced a good result for BSP in U.P. - politically, a very divided state in India. Unfortunately, the Mullah Mulayam government was openly "casteist", but with Mayawati, she attends to all castes. India is not served by casteist politicians. Once they come to power they must help everyone. Mayawati's success is because she knows this.
In any case, we as Indians, should help to change the old ways, when Dalits did all the menial jobs. In modern India, we want a good mix of castes in the higher reaches, in politics, in business, in the army and police. That is the best way we will produce success for India. It is happening already. That is why there is a future for India, despite what HuIJ and other hot-heads may do to us with their cowardly acts of sneaking cycle bombs into our crowded baazaars.
