IIPM MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE
The
ancient Hindu Law book, Manusmriti, prescribes that lower castes are destined to serve the upper castes, thereby prohibiting them from ruling and trading. And over the ages, this upper caste mentality has triggered many social rebellions by the Dalits. While some took to armed struggle to end class discrimination (Naxalism), others like Kanshi Ram & M. G. Ramachandran sought solace through democratic norms. Kanshi Ram’s protégé Mayawati, managing a majority on her own, in the just-concluded UP elections, has proved that democracy is much more effective & safer path for Dalit empowerment than the armed struggle.Myriad schemes started by various governments for the welfare of the downtrodden since independence have failed to deliver & the Dalits remain as oppressed & poor as ever in most parts of the country. The deprivation in places like Bihar, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh etc., has manifested itself in the form of Naxalism – armed struggle against the establishment. But, the Naxalites could never mobilise the backward and downtrodden in West Bengal, Tamil Nadu & Kerala because Dalit movements in these states were strong enough to take care of their aspirations and welfare.
