Lenin Raghuvanshi 10:05am Oct 30 However, a study, 'Rethinking Inequality : Dalits in Uttar Pradesh in the Market Reform Era' , by Devesh Kapur, director of the Center for the Advanced Study of India ( University of Pennsylvania), says Mayawati is the product of dalit empowerment, not the cause. But, yes, processes have accelerated under her. "The transformation started in the '90s when dalits started migrating to cities and got their children educated," said Lenin Raghuvanshi , an activist. A new dalit middle class emerged. Some of UP's leading doctors are dalits. But Lenin says, "Ambedkar had said that dalits would have to organize, agitate and educate. Mayawati hasn't been able to change the feudal mindset. Memorials may make dalits feel good, but the caste system has just the opposite effect." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/sunday-toi/special-report/Is-movement-matching-monument/articleshow/10537775.cms http://timesofindia.indiatimes/ timesofindia.indiatimes View Post on Facebook · Edit Email Settings · Reply to this email to add a comment.
