Just as they are shouting from their rooftops (and they have very big houses) âHinduize Indiaâ, we must shout from our toddy palms, from the fields, from treetops and from Dalitbahujan waadas, âDalitize Indiaâ. We must shout âwe hate Hinduism, we hate Brahminism, we love our culture and more than anything, we love ourselvesâ. It is through loving ourselves and taking pride in our culture that we can live a better life the future.
