Besides Mayawati can build monuments signifying Dalit prowess but could have tried not being such a Narcissist ~ It is always good when some1 else makes a statue of a person not the person himself/herself !!!Ispita Sahahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05967674092726857147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6002231322140701560.post-49552943340264051572012-01-16T19:33:07.931-08:002012-01-16T19:33:07.931-08:00The point made about assertion is well made. Dalit...The point made about assertion is well made. Dalits come from across the country to see the statues in Lucknow. They truly are a pilgrimage for most Dalits who have been at the receiving end for many centuries.<br /><br />But Dalits of UP would be making a mistake if they think building statues and parks are good enough for them and their future. Taking pride is one thing, but you need to focus on a better future for their children and society at large.<br /><br />Doling out welfare schemes for Dalits has only made them rely more on the Govt rather look for better employment opportunities to grow and be independent. When the regime changes, they will again be back to square one . Reason being that all other sections of society have been neglected during Maya's five year tenure. If she had created systems and institutions which would make Dalits semi skilled or skilled labour, then the scenario would be very different.<br /><br />So in the end, if that's what they want then they got it. But now they should prepare themselves to be back on ground zero as they were earlier. And they would have no one else to blame but themselves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249561462776965270noreply@blogger.com
