It is pleasant coincidence that the Birthday of Dr. Udit Raj falls on 26th Jan on the Republic day . He is the lone battler fighting for the rights of Dalits which is the most exploited strata of Indian society. Udit Raj is struggling for Dalits through welfare organization like Lord Buddha club & confederation of SC/ST organization.
History of India replete with atrocities on lower castes by higher castes. Earlier stalling the progress of lower castes was done through methods scripted in Manusmriti. Now it is done by challenging reservation in courts & making bureaucratic rules etc. Taking shelter of Supreme court verdict, 5 GRs were made by bureaucracy which stalled complete functioning of job reservation system. At that juncture you have brought pressure on govt by organizing SC/ST MPs & organizing huge rallies at Delhi. As a result , govt repealed 3 GRs. You have led the movement by leaving the lucrative job of commissioner of Taxes. People struggle to get this kind of high profile job of govt of India. It requires great courage & inner strengths to sacrifice such jobs before completion of 20 years of service. This is the greatest sacrifice , I have seen in contemporary dalit movement. There are many dalit leaders mushroomed in Gallis & Mohallas of India but they have motivation of money. They read one or two books of Dr. Ambedkar & consider themselves as the most learned creatures on the earth & their ego goes to seventh heaven. Dalit movement is hampered due to these kind of leaders.
At the moment , I feel you can only show the light in the darkness especially at this point of time when there is a upsurge from reactionary forces of high castes against the Dalits. You are the leader having base of pure Ambedkarism. There may be few followers with you at this juncture but numbers will go up & up in futures as the struggle has the base of honesty & sacrifice.
On this day of 26th of Jan, may the hearty wishes of your admirers & followers give you strengths to fight for the exploited. Let the others built their castles on Moon, you remain attached to the ground on earth fighting for the cause of dalits.
