Marxist Anil Sarkar for Mayawati`s Castology
Indian Holocaust My father`s Life and Time- One Hundred sixty EIGHT
Palash Biswas
Anil Sarkar, the Bengali reputed poet and Education Minister of Left Ruled Tripura has welcomed UP Assembelly Elections Results writing Poetry on Dalit daughter Mayawati. This is an old news item. But to day , he outlined the social eingineering of the Dalit cow Belt leader as the only way to change the Brahminical dominated social system in Bengal. He emphasized to follow Ambedkar.
On Tuesday, I witnessed the Dalit CPIM leader interacting different groups in Tripura Bhavan, Pretoria Street Kolkata. I talked to the leader exclusively and sought several clarification as a CPIM leader who outlined Dalit Strategy for the party. It was a family get together for us as my cusin brother, the poet Nitai Pada Sarkar and nephew Niranjan accompanied me. He is not well and hence, he could not visit, Keutia Sarkar Nursery, my brothers farm house and business centre of my nephew. So he called us in tripra Bhavan. Niranjan picked me from my home.
Quoting Party leadership he said that Mayawati has stopped Fascist Sangh Parivar to capture Uttar Pradesh and the young lady has to play a positive role in Indian politics.
He, however, avoided to comment on the most controversial issues like Singur and Nadigram, Chemical hub, Atomic Power plant, retail marketing, Industrialisation and indiscriminate land acquisition.
Rather the leftist Dalit leader is much more interested to launch a national Dalit Movement and without any hesitation he supported the casteology of Mayawati inspite of Party Ideology. At the same time, he was quite aggressive against the IN Law psyche of the Dalit intellectuals and leaders in Bengal. He told that any change is not possible in Bengal Scenerio unless the dalits asserts themselves in accordance with Ambedkar Ideology and casteology of Mayawati.
I think, this message is much more powerful than any of his poems on Mayawati which are beautifully translated in Hindi by Leeladhar Mandoloi, again a reputed poet and Krishna Kalpit.
He wrote;
The Himalayas in the North
Oceon lies in the South
Descends the storm from the North
Spreading snowy cool wind
And the wind stings
Disobedient and Unhumble
Hits the white colour skin
Very distressing
Descends the storm
Twenty first century belongs to Dalits
Twenty first century belongs to Exploited
Twenty first century belongs to Baba sahib
And to his obedient followers
Twenty first century belongs to the New Light.
Those who bear so much sorrow
Insult
Kicks
And persecution
Those who have been torn apart
On the Temple doors
Drinking wells
Those who have been driven away
Twenty first century belongs to them.
Hence, one Dalit woman
A non Aryan Girl
Becomes the general of aryavart
Immediately
The sky is lit
Wind becomes storm
An earthquake begins.
Because a Prohibited Girl
Alone and alone
Becomes so big!
As if a great river!!
