Dear friends,
What Dr. Rajshekhar Vundru, himself a very able literary figure, says about
the poetry of Dhasal is true, indeed. One must read at least his
"Golpitha". There can be no doubt about the literary acumen of Dhasal or
his poetical ability. But the real reason of his getting the Sahitya
akademy award is his nearness to Shivasena, rather than his poetry. That is
the general feeling among the Ambedkarites.
The old firebrand Dhasal is gone. Now only the Shivasainik in him is alive,
which is not of much use to the Dalit cause. There is hardly
any enthusiasm about his award among the Ambedkarite circles. I do not
know about the Shivasena circles.
They are trying for unity of Shiva sainiks and Bhim sainiks, we hear. Good
Luck to them!
Thanks!
Dr. K. Jamanadas

Namdeo Dhasal was a pioneering poet, who inspired an entirely different
literary imagination.
