Prof. Mahesh Chandra Guru questions Mohan Bhagvat's credibility to comment on Dalit-Muslims alliance
Mysuru: “Who is Mohan Bhagvat to speak about Dalits and Muslims when he does not have any knowledge of history?” progressive thinker Prof. Mahesh Chandra Guru questioned the RSS chief’s recent statement that Ambedkar had no respect for Muslims, urging Dalits not to mix and unite with Muslims.
“If Ambedkar hadn’t had respect for Muslims, he would not have given reservation to minorities. Mohan Bhagvat has no knowledge of history. His statement was ridiculous. No one should believe his statement” Mahesh told Varthabharati pointing Bhagvat’s statement on dalits and Muslims at Dharma Samsath.
“He does not have the moral right to comment on Dalits and Muslims. What does he know about Dalits and Muslims. He for sure know the fact that his organization and ideology will have no place in the country if these two communities unite. So he is giving such statements and neither Dalits nor Muslims shall get carried away from such statements”, he said.
Taking a dig at Bhagvat, Prof Guru said that Ambedkar had given three calls during All India Scheduled Caste Federation inauguration in 1952. One is all Dalits should join Buddhism, second the Dalits and Muslims of the country should come together to rule this country and the last one is ‘Dalits, Muslims and backward classes should get political power’. Bhagvat should first understand the history and later speak about it, he said
Bhagvat on Thursday had warned Dalits against alliance with Muslims while claiming to be quoting Dr. BR Ambedkar.
“Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar was well aware of the nefarious designs of Muslims. He always warned against any kind of association (political) with the Muslims,” Bhagwat said at the two-day Dharam Sansad in UP
“Now, efforts are being made for a Dalit-Muslim alliance. Babasaheb had himself termed these jihadis untrustworthy. We need to aware people about this,” the RSS chief said.
Bhagvat’s comment came as reports of Dalits-Muslim alliance to defeat BJP in UP is gaining prominence.
