Reason why the subaltern movement in Bharat is not winning and remains ‘sub’ instead of mainstream is that instead of conducting proper, scientific sociological studies, they are doing a clownish makeover to ingratiate with African Americans and peddle pseudoscience, rehashing atrocity literature.
Many from scheduled castes who could climb up in life using the affirmative action that exists, fail to deliver once they reach certain stature in education and employment. No tangible contributions to uplift Scheduled Castes i.e. SCs (‘Dalits’) but perpetuate the fault lines.
Most of Suraj Yengde’s recent speeches are puerile reproduction of jingoistic and imagined atrocities committed by imaginary Aryans upon the aborigines of Bharat’s geography, just like people before him but in an artificially constructed accent and afro hairdo.
And this is the so-called scholar and prolific writer and a great thinker which our DY Chandrachud raves about in his speeches.
This shameless attempt to elevate ‘Dalit issues’ to ‘Black Lives Matter’ level and internationalise issues in Bharat only to boost ones own income and living standards, instead of acting on ground to improve SC lives.
For the likes of Suraj Yengde and Thenmozhi Soundarrajan, their plush livelihoods depend on berating Hindus ad nauseam and even working against Bharat at times. Willing participants in the machinations of state and non state actors that do not want Bharat to grow.
