“He Is Our Dalit Leader”: Congress Dismisses Demand For Priyank Kharge’s Resignation

He was responding to a query about Karnataka BJP chief BY Vijayendra’s remarks that that Bidar contractor’s alleged suicide case should be handed over to CBI and Priyanka Kharge should resign. .
Bengaluru: Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar has rejected BJP’s demand for the resignation of state minister Priyank Kharge and said party leaders “know his integrity”.
“We know the integrity of Priyank Kharge, the investigation is going on. No question of anyone resigning. Priyank Kharge is our Dalit leader. It is not possible (to hand over the case to CBI). We know how CBI works. Our police and officials are capable of doing the investigation,” Mr Shivakumar said.
Priyank Kharge is son of Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge
He was responding to a query about Karnataka BJP chief BY Vijayendra’s remarks that that Bidar contractor’s alleged suicide case should be handed over to CBI and Priyanka Kharge should resign. .
“Many leaders and others take pictures with us, does it mean we have a relation with them? Our government is clean, they (BJP) don’t have anything, that’s why they’re speaking in this way,” Mr Shivakumar said.
“BJP government gave only my case to CBI…Priyank Kharge is our government’s vocal minister, he’s a Dalit leader who is emerging and he’s doing best in IT and BT, that’s why they’re trying all this, it’s not the case for CBI, I have read all about CBI when they sent me to jail, we know how CBI working, our police and officials are capable to do the investigation,” he added.
Earlier Priyank Kharge strongly criticized the BJP for allegedly politicizing the suicide of a contractor in Bidar.
Speaking on the tragic incident, Kharge stated that the situation is clear and the views of both the contractor and the accused should be thoroughly investigated.
“It’s very clear that BJP is trying to politicise a suicide by a contractor. It is clear that the contractor has a view about the incident and the accused has a view about the incident,” Kharge said in his statement.
He emphasized the importance of an impartial investigation to uncover the truth behind the incident. Kharge also pointed out that the BJP’s reaction was politically motivated, asserting that the party’s previous tenure had seen several contractor suicides.”The BJP can do whatever it wants. Everyone knows what they did and how many contractors committed suicide during their tenure,” he added.
Vijayendra Yediyurappa has attacked the Congress alleging that Sachin, a contractor from Bidar, died by suicide due to harassment and threats from Priyank Kharge’s close aide Raju Kapanur. He claimed that Sachin left behind a detailed letter highlighting his ordeal.

Denied exam over fee, Dalit girl dies by suicide; probe on

College owner, principal among four booked
The alleged suicide of a BA final-year Dalit student from Fartia Bhim village, has sparked outrage in Singhani village, Loharu subdivision, Bhiwani. Diksha, a student at a private college, reportedly ended her life after being denied permission to appear in her examinations due to unpaid fee.
According to the complaint by her father, Jagdish, the 22-year-old was set to take her fifth-semester exams earlier this month but was barred from doing so by the college authorities over a pending fee of Rs 35,000, along with the current year’s dues.
“I requested the college authorities to give more time to pay the fee. But the request was turned down,” he said.
The Bhiwani police have registered a case against four persons including the college owner, his son and daughter besides the college principal, and started investigation.
Jagdish said her daughter hanged herself to a ceiling fan on the night of December 24. The family called the police. He said they cremated her next day and the police registered a case of suicide. But he submitted a complaint against the college authorities on December 27, alleging pressure from them which led her daughter to commit suicide. Jagdish said he was not in the right frame of mind after her death and thus he delayed lodging the complaint against the college authorities.

By Divya Prakash Pathak
Key Points:
Mass protest against police brutality on Dalits in Palamu.
Demonstrators demand justice and withdrawal of false cases.
Memorandum submitted to District Commissioner Shashi Ranjan.
MEDININAGAR – Angered by incidents of police atrocities in Pandu and Patan, members of CPI (ML) and the Daily Wage Workers’ Union staged a protest on Monday. The march started from Ambedkar Park and proceeded through prominent city roads before culminating in a sit-in at the district headquarters.

America Should Welcome Indian Immigrants — the Persecuted Christians and Dalits, Not the Brahmins Who Oppress Them

The first ugly split in the MAGA coalition that returned Donald Trump to the White House has occurred over immigration.
By Jason Scott Jones
But it hasn’t taken the shape of battles in the past, where big-city Democrats and cheap-labor Republicans colluded to weaponize the rhetoric of Christian compassion in order to exploit vulnerable migrants and displace Americans. Instead, what we’re seeing is something strange and a little foreign: the intrusion of haughty, aristocratic Brahmin contempt for the less fortunate, bizarrely emerging among the ranks of Donald Trump’s close allies.
Vivek Ramaswamy’s now infamous tweet on the question of expanding H1B visas contains this toxin in almost molar purity:
That seems a strange line for one of Trump’s closest allies to take, considering that Trump’s political base is working-class Americans of every ethnic heritage, many of them quite passionate about the national abuse to which the Biden administration subjected America. We currently have the highest percentage of foreign-born residents in America’s history — higher than at the height of the Ellis Island influx. This at a time when manufacturing jobs have been outsourced and working-class wages remained mostly flat for decades (except for a surge during Trump’s first term in office).
Americans are sick of constant “diversity” lectures and the nonstop demonization of their families and their ancestors, along with the unfair DEI mandates pervading industry, academia, and government, which encourage racial division. Now, instead of leftists lecturing J.D. Vance’s Rust Belt neighbors about their incurably “racist” attitudes, we have something even uglier: a son of privileged Brahmin immigrants scolding Americans about their “culture” of laziness, which is so pervasive that the U.S. must import large numbers of educated immigrants from countries like India.
250 Million Slaves in India Today
Most Americans know little about India. They think of spicy food, colorful festivals, ornate temples, and the kind, helpful people they might meet working in some convenience store. The truth is much uglier and more complicated. India is in many ways like the antebellum South, with Brahmins in the role of slaveowners and 250 million Dalits (once called “Untouchables”) born into squalor and servitude. As Jules Gomes (himself of Brahmin background) wrote here at The Stream:
Westerners need to understand that the caste system is intrinsic to Hinduism and is rooted in the legal texts of the Manusm?ti, traditionally the most authoritative of the books of the Hindu code (Dharma-shastra).
This canonical corpus, attributed to Manu — the legendary first man and lawgiver — describes the untouchable as “polluted” and “unclean” from birth. … The Dalit (untouchable) … is a different species, like an animal or sub-human. “Metaphorically and literally, the Dalit has been a ‘s–t bearer’ for three millennia, toiling at the very bottom of the Hindu caste hierarchy,” writes Prof. Sagarika Ghose.
Members of higher castes shun any contact with Dalits. They exclude them from education and any but the most menial, degrading jobs. Dalits often inherit crushing debt and are forced to work that off as virtual slaves on plantations. Dalits cannot enter temples, drink from public wells, or live in most neighborhoods — often ending up segregated in squalid ghettos outside of town. They are frequently subject to violence, including rape, with little recourse to justice.
Don’t Mention the Dalits or Burning Churches
And Hindu theology justifies this systemic oppression as the just punishment Dalits are suffering for their sins in previous lives — while the privileges of the Brahmins are their reward for past-life virtues.
When tech bros like Vivek Ramaswamy talk about India’s healthy, entrepreneurial culture, they don’t mention any of that. Nor do they talk about the hundreds of churches that have been burned or the thousands of Christians persecuted by the current Hindu nationalist government of India, as The Stream has documented:
Open Doors categorizes the persecution of Christians alongside “Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan — and worse than Saudi Arabia or China.”
The signatories highlight the anti-Christian violence in the state of Manipur, which has displaced more than 65,000 believers and seen more than 400 churches bulldozed or burned down “with the sanction of the Indian state.”
Moreover, more than 2,500 Christians were forcibly displaced as Hindu mobs attacked, looted, and destroyed homes between December 2022 and February 2023 because residents refused to convert to Hinduism, the letter states.
“Local village councils even prohibit Christians from practicing their faith in their own homes,” the signatories lament, as believers are denied basic rights, including access to water and a Christian burial.
Thousands of Christians have been arrested under “anti-conversion” laws which now are enforced in 12 of the 28 states of the Indian union. Many people remain incarcerated without trial, the letter notes, citing the Evangelical Fellowship of India figures of 648 Christians arrested under these laws, with 440 arrests occurring in just one state.
The Tech Brahmins Want Endentured Servants
The Tech Brahmins don’t intend to import and hire such persecuted Christians. Nor will they bring in Dalits, since they refuse to breathe the same air for fear of ritual pollution. Instead, H1B visas extended to India simply bring in more upper-caste aristocrats, whom companies exploit because such migrants are literally indentured to work for the company that imports them. If they quit, they are shipped straight home.
What American can or wants to compete with workers like this? How many Trump voters welcome lectures on pulling oneself up by their bootstraps from billionaires born into privilege, at the top of a pyramid of injustice that goes back thousands of years?
In the buildup to our Civil War, proslavery writer George Fitzhugh published the book Cannibals All!, in which he argued that slavery was a more benevolent, efficient, and productive system than free labor in the North, and urged the northern states to simply enslave the working class so that region could benefit, too. It’s painful to realize that Vivek Ramaswamy and his allies are delivering a similar message today. More than exploitable workers (of the right social caste), they trying to import a cruel, pagan worldview which blames the victim for the oppression he endures.
America should accept new immigrants from India — in accordance with our historic values of welcoming the oppressed. That means that any and all newcomers from India should be exclusively from the groups now suffering under its government: hunted Christians and spat-upon Dalits.
Something tells me Vivek won’t climb on the juggernaut for that.

Priyanka Gandhi Slams BJP Over Dalit Atrocities

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra criticized the BJP for alleged atrocities against Dalits, citing media reports. Her remarks followed the death of a Dalit youth in custody in Madhya Pradesh. Maharashtra CM Fadnavis countered, labeling Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Parbhani as political. A judicial inquiry into Parbhani violence was announced.
In a stinging rebuke of the ruling BJP, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra took to X (formerly Twitter) to denounce what she alleges are rampant atrocities against Dalits and marginalized groups. Highlighting a recent media report, Gandhi accused the BJP of systemic disrespect towards Babasaheb Ambedkar and the oppressed communities.
Gandhi’s criticism comes in the wake of a Dalit youth’s death in police custody in Dewas, Madhya Pradesh, with the victim’s family attributing the tragedy to police brutality. She referenced similar incidents, including the reported custodial death of another Dalit youth in Parbhani, Maharashtra. Gandhi called these occurrences severe, spotlighting a worrying trend of abuses under BJP’s governance.
In a counter-attack, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis labeled Rahul Gandhi’s recent visit to Parbhani a calculated political maneuver intended to sow discord along caste lines. Fadnavis announced a judicial inquiry into the violence in Parbhani, promising transparency and accountability, asserting that truth will prevail and guilty parties will face strict consequences.

President K.R. Narayanan’s Message on First World Convention of the Dalit International Organisation

The First World Convention of the Dalit International Organisation being organised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 11th and 12th October, 1998, has given to itself an important theme: ‘A New Vision Towards a Casteless Society’.
K.R. Narayanan, New Delhi, October 11, 1998
A fresh evaluation of the effects of the caste system on the human condition in India, can be of great assistance to those in government and beyond, who are engaged in mitigating the harm caused by it.
Over the centuries, India’s society stood divided into four castes and further segmentised in a vertical heirarchy of sub-castes, with the so-called “untouchables” forming the base. This human construct was sought to be justified metaphysically by the theory of karma. More importantly it was used to perpetuate a form of stratified exploitation, with the greatest weight falling upon the lowest rung and, in particular, on the women in that rung.
With the dawn of India’s many-splendoured renaissance in the nineteenth century, the clear-eyed representatives of that awakening saw that untouchability was an insult to human intelligence apart from being totally unacceptable in terms of human rights and social equity.
These pioneers drew inspiration from the supremely sagacious and compassionate precepts of Gautama the Buddha. That millennial Teacher quickened an altogether new and liberating re-definition of premises that had conditioned Indian society. Human conduct, not caste, as a mark of one’s personality became a new paradigm.
Other voices of reason as well as of compassion, emerged through the length and breadth of India, such as those of Swami Vivekananda, Sri Narayana Guru and Mahatma Jyotiba Phule. These led the way to a realization that the dismantling of discriminations in the name of caste must accompany the political redemption of our colonially dominated people.
India’s political struggle for independence came, inevitably, to have an external as well as an internal agenda, namely, political independence and social reform. Mahatma Gandhi wrote in Young India as early as in 1920: “I consider untouchability to be a heinous crime against humanity.” Gandhiji sensitized members of the privileged sections of the Hindu community to do their duties towards those relegated by tradition to “lower” caste status. His nationwide crusade for this cause, is now part of history. So has been Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s continuous call for a casteless society based on political, social and economic democracy. It was, however, given to Baba Saheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar to galvanise the Dalits to a realization of their rights – human, social, cultural and political — and pose a fundamental challenge, to the caste-ridden society.
Since the time of the Buddha, Dr. Ambedkar’s role was the most significant one in undermining the foundations of the caste-system in India. The Indian Constitution of which he was one of the principal architects bears eloquent testimony to this.
Independent India has taken well-considered steps to right this ancient wrong. Under Article 17 of the Constitution of India, untouchability stands abolished and its practice in any form forbidden. Untouchability is now an offence punishable in accordance with law. Even more positively, under the Directive Principles of State Policy, Article 38 of the Constitution provides that the State shall strive to promote the welfare of the people by securing and protecting, as effectively as it may, a social order which provides for their social, economic and political well-being. Article 46 of the Constitution of India requires the State to promote with special care, the educational and economic interests of the weaker sections of the people and, in particular, of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes, protecting them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation.
Pioneering efforts have been made during last five decades in India to promote the educational, economic and social development of those belonging to weaker sections, with special emphasis on dalits. The Government of India’s flagship scheme for the educational development of dalits has been ‘Post-Matric Scholarships’ which has motivated dalit students to pursue higher education in last fifty years. About two million students are provided scholarships under this scheme.
Article 16 of the Constitution of India enables the State to provide for reservation of appointments or posts in favour of any backward classes of citizens which is not adequately represented in the services under the State.
Much more, of course, remains to be done both in letter and spirit to heal the scars of this centuries’ long exploitation. One hears, ever so often, of powerful sections of society, especially in rural India, defying the law. The transition to social equality affects vested interests which therefore seek to resist the change and retard the implementation of progressive legislative and administrative policies and programmes. Considerable work has to be done in securing the rights and benefits accorded by law to the Dalits, and also in extending further these rights and benefits to the economic and political spheres of life. Baba Saheb Ambedkar’s slogan for the Dalits – viz. “educate, organize and agitate” is still relevant. India is a vibrant democracy which affords ample scope for this kind of Dalit activism. Dalits are nearly 25% of the population and they command, thanks to universal adult suffrage, a crucial proportion of votes in the elections.
Therefore their destiny lies, in the ultimate analysis, in the hands of Dalits themselves organized socially and politically within India.
While the State has taken the lead in bringing about a new social order, the real and abiding initiative must rest with the people themselves. Persons of Indian origin overseas, particularly those who have personally experienced the inequities of caste system and have done well abroad can play a major role in supporting the efforts of their brothers and sisters at home. Their talents, resources and commitment can provide an additional impetus to the constructive channelisation of dalit aspirations. Concretely they can initiate and support schemes for the educational, health and economic development of Dalits and other weaker sections in India just as NRI’s in general can invest and contribute to the economic advancement of India. It may be mentioned that apart from State policies and social movements, it is technological forces and economic changes that are breaking down entrenched caste barriers in society.
I hope that the Convention will, through a healthy debate and positive suggestions, catalyse the transformation of society. The Dalit International Organisation with its deeply felt aspirations and inter-continental character can help the cause of social equity in India through constructive and empathetic involvement in the elevation of the condition and status of Dalits.

BHU students arrested for allegedly trying to burn Manusmriti remain in jail as advocates push for removal of false charges

The delegation of advocates demanded removal of false charges, investigation by senior police officials, and action against mistreatment of students detained during Manusmriti Dahan Divas event.
On December 29, a group of advocates met with the Commissioner of Police in Varanasi to demand the withdrawal of fabricated charges filed against students arrested from Banaras Hindu University (BHU). The advocates urged the removal of serious and non-bailable sections falsely imposed on the students. They also called for an investigation into the matter by a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP)-level officer and strict action against those responsible for filing the false charges. It is essential to note that at the time of the publishing of the story, the arrested students remained in jail.
The arrests stem from an incident on December 26, 2024, when 13 individuals, including three women, associated with the Bhagat Singh Students Morcha (BSM), a Marxist student organisation at BHU, were taken into custody by the Lanka Police Station in Varanasi. They were subsequently sent to 14-day judicial custody by the Varanasi District Court. The arrests followed a discussion held on December 25 to mark Manusmriti Dahan Divas, commemorating Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s historic burning of the Manusmriti in 1927. The discussion, held at the university’s Arts Faculty, was disrupted by university officials and security staff, leading to a scuffle between the students and security guards. Among those detained are nine students and four alumni, currently held in District Jail, Chaukaghat. As they were transferred to jail, the students raised slogans such as “Manusmriti Murdabad, Inquilab Zindabad, Jai Bhim,” and “Stop violence against students,” highlighting their resistance to state repression. The jailed students were also interrogated by the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS).
The delegation also met with the Superintendent of the District Jail in Varanasi to address the mistreatment of the detained students. They submitted a memorandum outlining 10 key demands, including:
Immediate disciplinary action against police personnel who demanded a bribe of ?200 per person to allow visitors to meet the students, along with threats of physical harm if the bribe was not paid.
- Provision of facilities to the students in accordance with the jail manual.
- Ensuring a conducive environment for study by accommodating the students in separate barracks.
- Medical treatment for injured or unwell students, including proper examinations.
- Avoiding the treatment of students as hardened criminals.
The delegation included Advocate Premprakash Singh Yadav, Advocate Ramdular Prajapati, Advocate Rajesh Kumar Yadav, Advocate Sushil Kumar, Advocate Kamlesh Yadav, Advocate Satyaprakash, Advocate Veerbali Singh Yadav, Advocate Awadhesh, Advocate Ajit Singh Yadav, Advocate Shridutt, and Advocate Rakesh.
Background of the incident
On December 25, 2024, the Bhagat Singh Students Morcha (BSM) organised a discussion at Banaras Hindu University (BHU) to observe Manusmriti Dahan Divas, commemorating the historic day in 1927 when Dr. B.R. Ambedkar burned the Manusmriti as a protest against caste discrimination. The event, held at the university’s Arts Faculty, was disrupted by BHU’s Proctorial Board guards, who allegedly misbehaved with the participants, forcibly dragging them to the Proctorial Board office, where they were locked up around 7:30 PM.
The following day, December 26, an FIR was filed against 13 members of the BSM, accusing them of serious offences. These individuals, including three women, were subsequently arrested by the Lanka Police Station and sent to 14-day judicial custody by the Varanasi District Court. Reports indicate that during the disruption, the students were physically assaulted, their clothes torn, and their glasses broken. Students who attempted to intervene were also pushed, beaten, and detained. It is further alleged that the Proctorial Board and the police issued threats to the students, warning of retaliation and harm to their future prospects.
The arrested students were held overnight at the Lanka Police Station without access to legal counsel. Allegedly, they were beaten and sustained injuries while in custody. These students are now detained in District Jail, Chaukaghat.
An FIR (No. 523/2024) was filed against the students under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023. These include:
- Section 132: Assault or criminal force to deter a public servant from duty.
- Section 121(2): Causing grievous hurt to a public servant.
- Section 196(1): Promoting enmity between different groups on grounds of religion, race, or language.
- Section 299: Outraging religious feelings through deliberate and malicious acts.
- Section 190: Unlawful assembly for an offence committed by the group.
- Section 191(2): Rioting.
- Section 115(2): Voluntarily causing hurt.
- Section 110: Attempt to commit culpable homicide.
The FIR, filed on the complaint of BHU Security Officer Omprakash Tiwari and Assistant Security Officer Hasan Abbas Zaidi, states that on December 25 at 5:30 PM, a group of 20–25 BSM members gathered near the Arts Faculty Square, allegedly planning to burn copies of the Manusmriti as part of the Manusmriti Dahan Divas observance. The complainants, accompanied by Proctorial Board members and security personnel, approached the group to pacify them. However, the students allegedly misbehaved, pushed, and assaulted the security team.
The FIR claims that two women security personnel, Shipra Mishra and Shikha Mishra, sustained serious injuries and fainted during the altercation, requiring treatment at BHU Trauma Centre. The report also alleges that the actions of the students disrupted public harmony.
The 13 individuals identified in the FIR include Mukesh Kumar, Sandeep Jaiswal, Amar Sharma, Arvind Pal, Anupam Kumar, Lakshman Kumar, Avinash, Arvind, Shubham Kumar, Adarsh, Ipsita Agarwal, Siddhi Tiwari, and Katyayani B. Reddy. The charges against them carry a maximum sentence of 10 years imprisonment.
