"Untouchable soldiers began to be retrenched in the last decades of the nineteenth century. Class regiments of Mahars, Chamars, Mehtars, Mangs, Dhanuks etc., were disbanded. Recruitment of Mahars was completely stopped in 1895. Mahars had played a very important role in the army yet this was the reward of valor, loyalty and efficiency that the British rulers chose to give. Rightly had Dr. Baba Saheb Ambedkar observed during his deliberations in the Round Table Conference that 'British have no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. They have only permanent interests".'
So the latest Controversy and Violence related to the "Bhima Koregaon" is the Stupid retaliation of the Hindu fundamentalists and the continued backwardness of the Scheduled castes Both Educational, economical.
it is shameful that the Scheduled castes Have to look back to the 19th century victory of a subjugator of the whole country to feel proud about themselves and the intolerance of the upper-class society regarding their celebration of this event, Only speaks to the poverty of Vision understanding and the ability to progress on a positive path by all classes of India.
