When Renaming ‘Gol Chowk’ to ‘Sambhidan Chowk’ Made so-called Upper Castes Angry & Killed Dalit


Dalit brother, 19yr old, Yaswant Bobby died. He was injured in Phagwara (Punjab). On 13th April, so-called upper castes had attacked Dalits with guns when Dalits had put sign-board of Dr Ambedkar at the roundabout.  In Phagwara, Dalits had put signboard with Dr Ambedkar with the new name of the roundabout – Sambhidan Chowk – which made upper castes angry!

16 days after Bobby sustained a bullet injury to the head in the April 13 Phagwara clash, Yaswant Bobby succumbed to his injuries in a Ludhiana hospital at 2:30 am on Sunday.

Security forces are still deployed in the city since 13th April. After the death of Yaswant Bobby, internet services in Phagwara and nearby districts have been cut.

From Congress to BJP leaders supported so-called upper caste goons and objected the renaming of the roundabout from ‘Gol Chowk’ to ‘Sambhidan Chowk’. And they project that Congress will save Dalits and Constitution! So-called upper caste leaders even took protest march against renaming the chowk and Dalits say that BJP leaders used casteist language during the protest march.

What infuriated these so-called upper castes when Dalits had renamed the chowk to Sambhidan Chowk? Was it so irritating that they came out with guns and started firing on Dalits preparing for the Dr Ambedkar Jayanti?

Dalits had put sign-board with Dr Ambedkar’s picture and the new name of chowk on the corporation ground so if corporation or police wanted to object it would have made sense but what provoked these criminal upper castes can be understood from their hatred toward Dalits and Dr Ambedkar. There is no other reason that would have made any law-abiding citizen when chowk was renamed ‘Sambhidan Chowk’.

Our brothers and sisters have been killed every day by these so-called upper castes, be it Bhima Koregaon or Phagwara or case of Bhim Army. Our brothers and sisters have been put in jails or killed for demanding equal rights.

First, they kill us and then offer some compensation, then they kill more of us and try to buy us with more money. How will issues of caste discrimination and atrocities against Dalits be resolved? We can’t expect any justice from Brahminical courts. How can perpetrators of injustice deliver justice?

Who will put an end to atrocities on Dalits?

    I saw the NDTV ,T.V interview of these 3 guys and they said that some body is trying to maligning by infusing the association with RSS but don’t forget RSS is not a holy cow ,they are notorious for their nefarious activities.Any time a new threat come to establishment ,people try to use fake news to discredit them.Let us wait and see and give them the benefit of the doubt., if they are fake, they won’t go too far before their hypocrisy is out in the open.Who are these people who are claiming the RSS has its hand in it.Could somebody dig deep in to it? Let us make fact based judgement.

    I have been reading the PHAGWARA (Punjab) incident though PMARC news.There is a clear message to Dalits that all Indian political parties have only one interest and i.e to serve the upper castes and to hell with Dalits and our enemies don’t want us to be a part of India–socially ,culturally , economically and educationally.This is the new wave of RSS/BJP going on in BJP run governments but I admit that Congress is NO holy cow either. In the upper echelon of power controlling Committees in all political parties, it is usually higher caste especially in the decision making area.These multiple case clearly reflect the deep down hatred against Dalits by the upper caste.A few years ago it was hidden and NOW it is open and free for all .Kharge, Paswan, Athwale and Kovid etc are now good show pieces to make fool of gullible poor Dalit masses. And educated/elite Dalit have become mere spectator to the whole oppression. Forget Dalit politicians, they have sold their soul for few perks,I call crumbs.That is why we need a new young generation like a newly founded group called Bahujan Azad Party (BAP).Because we have been disenchanted by the establishment Dalit politicians irrespective of political affiliation.They are our biggest enemies.We have to fight enemy within and enemy outside.I guess this is the battle which will be fought for centuries to come ,don’t forget the path of Dr.Ambedkar has shown to us ,otherwise a dooms day is coming. He gave us the spirit to fight for our rights.
    What keeps RSS/BJP awake in the night is the name of Dr.Ambedkar. They are doing many ways to co opt him, soon he will be made a Vishnu’s Awatar like Buddha. Are we alert enough to understand the tomfoolery of RSS/BJP.
    I have some hope like millions that BSP or BAP will stand up to defend our fundamental rights and the Constitution of India, a baby of Dr.Ambedkar which has given equal rights to every single citizen of India ,barring none.There is revolution and a counter revolution going on the ,like in the olden days between Buddhism and Brahamanism called Hinduism.

      The political party that is being started by IIT students has a link with RSS and funding of BAP is coming from RSS as some people are claiming.
