Saw some people dancing on DJ at a pre-Ambedkar Jayanti event last evening.
I knew a few of those young boys, the same ones who participate with equal enthusiasm in Ganapati Puja, Ram Navami, and other Hindu celebrations. Always ready to take on Jihadis on the ground, (not just on social media) and they actually fight.
That’s when it struck me, not everyone who idolizes B.R. Ambedkar is anti-Hindu. For many, their respect for him is deeply emotional, shaped by leaders from within their own community.
You may have different opinions about him, but we need to understand that those idolizing him are one of us. Leaving them behind or mocking them will get us nowhere. It will only push them away and ultimately make us weaker.
And as a society, we cannot move forward by leaving an entire community behind.
(P.S.- Bad elements exist in every society, be it UC, SC, ST, or OBC. You can’t hate an entire community because of a few random morons. If Dalits have Chandrashekhar Ravan, OBCs have Lalu, UCs have Ravish Kumar.)
This country needs a Kooda Mantri. Someone who can be in charge of garbage disposal in the country. Municipalities are incapable of handling this gargantuan challenge.
