Dalit anger

The recent desecration of Dr. Ambedkar's statue in UP was a deplorable and henious crime. I can perfectly understand anger felt by our dalit berthern, though I may not agree with their methods of protest. But protest they must, lest this crime will go unpunished. Losing young lives during protests is not desirable. Non-violent but strong protest, say a huge rally or a candle light march, by all who oppose this henious crime (and not just dalits) is called for.

In this hour of crisis, we must show that we stand with our dalit bretheren and understand their anguish. Lets stay united and fight these divisive tendancies.
