It seems to be that i have to clarify my position.
Firstly,i don't like to be a spoke person of someone
else.They have every right to express themselves very
freely.
When ghadhiji tried to be a spokeperson of Dalit
movement,He gave a new name HARIJAN.It was a clear cut
hijacking politics(thanks to ealinor zealot).He was
sabotaging the dalit uprising itself.
But, a non-dalit can give a solidarity to that
movement.He can help to raise their voice in various
ways.Look at ambedker's case.Here i can share their
politics of difference and identity.
While subaltern voices of india and their movements
are fighting for identity based politics for
recognition for themselves,i like to take this
position.
Of course,Nalini jameela has every right to express
her opinion freely.She has tried it now and she has
got a success in her attempt.
