Bheemta is not a pejorative for Dalits and this is a gross misrepresentation. It’s a pejorative for anti-Hindu neo ambedkarites. They’re not the same.
If someone uses it to refer to Dalits indiscriminately, he's not doing any favour, but the onus is on those accusing to show that such indiscrimiate usage is being practiced by someone who's even decently popular/influential

Sri Aurobindo on Mahatma Gandhi :
“when the Europeans say that he (Gandhi) is more Christian than many Christians and that he is "the Christ of the modern times" they are perfectly right. All his preaching is derived from Christianity, and though the form that is given to it is Indian, the essential spirit is Christian. He may not be exactly Christ, but at any rate he comes in continuation of the same movement.
He is largely influenced by Tolstoy and the Bible and by Jainism in his preachings; at any rate, more than by the Indian scriptures — the Upanishads or the Gita which he interprets in the light of his own ideas”
