From Sri Lanka where I live and East Africa where I work, terms as Dalit somehow come across as British usages as “Lord” or “Sir”. They just do not seem part of life. This will sound strange in India. But there are very supportive persons as ourselves who live in a different language milieu. Life is serious. Income and opportunity are serious. So terms as “poor”, “oppressed” or “Marginalized” are better understood for this simple purpose of conveying some thought.
Globally there is a rise of a corrupt, elite centered and centralized world. Social solidarity and Socialism are receding.
It is essential for the people in the Dalit and similar situations in life to rise and power each other to prevent the new world order enslaving us all.
From my standpoint, I can see the naked struggle of world mastery. It is a mercy that at this moment there is a Trade War, basically between China and the US. It is an issue of hegemony and a battle of Elites.
An amusing feature, not probably heard of in India but what Chinese say here is that they, the China Mainland, suffered in labor (wages) and took the hit in environment to get the economic power they have, when they got the opening from the US. Now the developing countries should do the same and develop as they have. It is reminiscent of the imperial age just past.
The Indian family of peoples have a real need. That is to get out of division at a time of global critical times. The reality is the Far Capitalism of the West is taken up with creating its own God Image out of the artificial, up to where man replaces man by mechanical parts. The economics of the West is splitting off 40% of its residents into an underclass living day by day, without economic freedom. The other Reality is that of the Elite ruled States which are again attempting to legalistically enshrine cleverly their own pasts and presents into a superior class. For them we are the clear underclass, with a tiny group of system owners. The International System is a some proto Jesuits doing the needful.
I trust the Neo-Dalit Movement can grab the Reality of the Whole World, not just India, and come into the Global Vanguard as a formidable Force. It can. We hope it Shall.
Thanks.
