Hi Kole;
I'm not sure what you mean by the above, or how it relates to Dalitism. In
fact, it seems to me that the Dalit militants take a strictly unipolar
approach to oppression. Would they be partial to talk of feminine
emancipation or freedom to engage in same-sex sex, or India minding its own
business as regards Nepal or Pakistan?
My complaint against the Dalits and their "blood and soil" approach is that
they risk substituting one set of illusions for another. That, and their
absolute silence regarding the nature of the State and its role in class
society.
