[ZESTCaste] Re: Pawar calls for spl policy to encourage Dalit bizmen

 

What Sharad Pawar has said is important. Dalits should become businessmen because in India Dalits were barred from becoming rich. This will in a way break the caste barriers. But dalit capitalists should not become pro-elites and forget their brothers who in majority are deprived and poor. Many Dalit high post people become part of the elites- upper caste and forget the very people from whom they have come. They should try to fulfil the dream Dr. Ambedkar of Annilhilating caste.
