What is so much 'fascist' in demanding response from distinguished people with known allegiance to concerns of human rights, particularly in this case, where atrocities continues to be perpetrated with near total impunity against a dalit woman ?( And further,even in criticising them for being silent?) Critcising somebody for their silence and demanding response/ support are two different acts. While demanding, we are 'making' them Nayakar by assuming it their special responsibility to respond to all issues. while criticising Political parties for their silence, we don't invest such hope in them. We take them for what they are. we also anticipate change in their position in the course of the movement. We believe that the movement will have effect on them as well. Those are political victories not 'compromises". At certain junctures the very people/ parties which stood against the issue try to appropriate it.
That is why I insist on substanciating criticisms and allegations against individuals. I am not saying that nobody should criticise them. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ greenyouth mailinglist is the activist support mailinglist for kerala To post to this group, send email to [email protected] -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
