Prakash Ambedkar and Mobilisation of Masses
Yesterday, on the call of Prakash Ambedkar, thousands of people from all over Maharashtra participated in the giant protest. Prakash Ambedkar is the leader of the masses and his politics is based on pragmatism and he takes into considerations the realities of the time and people. That is the reason why he knows how to mobilize the people and when to mobilize the masses.
On the scale of magnitude, the Dalits need many leaders throughout India and they can mobilize the masses around so many issues and problems facing the Dalit communities. Prakash Ambedkar is a mature leader who knows how to attack the enemies of his people. One of the biggest drawbacks of Prakash Ambedkar was he was very much inclined towards the left and was often seen advocating their ideology, but slowly he came out of that shadow and potentially he will make them follow in his footsteps towards the annihilation of caste, the goal he is very much committed to.
To the great credit of Prakash Ambedkar, he always trained his gun against the Brahminical forces and have been very openly critical of the ideology of the RSS/BJP. In Maharashtra, the leader who can mobilize the people is undoubtedly Prakash Ambedkar and under his leadership, the masses can be mobilized. Athwale has effectively sat in the lap of the BJP/RSS and he lost the respect among the masses. It is clear that his hunger for power precedes his interest for the society.
The RSS/BJP must be attacked from all the sides and the goons they are backing up must be thrown in jail with the due process of law. Bhide aka Kulkarni is a blot on the humanity and Prakash Ambedkar when exposing him is ultimately exposing the designs of the RSS/BJP. His maturity to allow an ally like-minded organizations is a great strategy indeed.

Let us hope that Prakash Ambedkar be able to enlist the support of Jignesh Mevani of Gujarath , Mayawati of UP and Thirumavalavan of Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (V.C.K.) of Tamil Nadu and forge Confederation of Dalit Electors (C.D.E.) in Maharashtra and gain a stronghold against the safronists and their ulterior agenda of supremacy of casteism.
