Dear friends,
I am thankful to all those who responded to my appeal for help to Br Bant
Singh, a brave Dalit who stood against the oppression of caste Hindus and
dearly paid for it.
We have so far commitments to the tune of $1020. Some of them yet to mention
their contribution. We are still fall short of our minimum target of Rs. 1
Lakh. There is nothing much we can do without Rs. 1 Lakh. Remember that he has
a handicapped wife and 8 kids to support, per the mail received from Br Yeshpal
Mehay.
Please contribute $10, $20, $50, $100 or whatever you can. If you want to
contribute in Rupees, please do so. You can contribute any amount - be it
Rs.100, 200, 500, 1000, 5000 anything you like. Small drops make a ocean. So,
every penny may help him in this hour of his suffering.
Also, I have written to 2 agencies asking help for artificial limbs for him.
I havent heard anything from them so far. I am going to do some more research
on internet and write to other organizations. If anyone has any information in
this regard, please pass it to me.
I sometimes think, how great it would be if we have someone like Bill Gates
who can support our just causes. Then, we need not go with a begging bowl every
time we want to help someone in need. But unfortunately, that is not the
case.Who on the earth suffer more than Dalits of India just because they
happened to born in a particular family? Who need more help than these
unfortunate Dalit victims?
So, please come forward and help us to help this great person. I created a
link on www.ambedkarscholarship.org and will update it from time to time.
Please check it for latest information.

An educated man without character and humility was more dangerous than a beast.
If his education was detrimental to the welfare of poor, he was a curse to
society.
