*Democratic Debate on Appropriation of Ambedkar Writings*
*Sundaraiah Vignana Kendram, Cellar*
*10th April 2014.*
*5:30 PM*
*Dear Friends*
*All of you are aware about the ongoing discussion on the issue of
publication of Dr B.R.Ambedkar Annihilation of Caste by Navayana
Publications with an introduction of Arundhati Roy and annotations by S.
Anand of Navayana.*
*Ambedkar’s writings are not patented to anyone caste, community or
individual. Every thinker and scholar has every right to write about
Ambedkar and interpret his ideas and express their own views. When the
Brahmanical society suppressed Babasaheb’s thoughts for several decades, it
is the Dalit intellectual and activist community kept the memory of
Ambedkar alive and made Ambedkar’s thoughts available to Indian society. It
is ironic that Nayayana publishers tell the Dalit community that Ambedkar
belongs to “all”*
*The “all” are the upper castes who are appropriating Ambedkar today
without any engagement with Dalit struggles and Ambedkar ideology. We
believe that no one has any right to appropriate Ambedkar; no one has any
right to judge Ambedkar and interpret Ambedkar as a junior partner to
Gandhi. We were shocked to see the new edition of Annihilation of Caste
published by Navayana*
*This edition includes 160 pages of irrelevant text to the original text
of Annihilation of Caste. Arundhati Roy compares Ambedkar with Gandhi
and S. Anand annotated Annihilation of Caste All these additions made it a
book of more than 500 pages and is now priced at 550/-. Annihilation of
Caste is a small booklet of 60 pages in original and it is widely
available in Indian languages as well as in English at a very cheap rate or
free of cost. The original English version of Annihilation of Caste is
freely available on the internet for download.*
*There are many issues. We want a democratic debate on the issue of
publication of Annihilation of Caste in a manner that undermined its
historical significance. We want to ask the publisher and Arundhati Roy
“Are you a genuine supporters of the Dalit cause?”, “If so, will you
consider detaching the introduction “ the Doctor and the Saint” from
Annihilation of Caste and publish it as a separate book?” and “Will you
stop distribution of book in the present form”*
*We invite you to be part of the programme, please come and join us*
