Various Dalit organizations should be brought under one forum, to stage a joint struggle, said Ramanath Rai, former state minister, on Thursday October 9.

Municipal councilor Yashoda, members Ramakrishna Alva, Srinivas Malli, retired Tahsildar Chandru, A Chandra Kadeshvalya, taluk panchayat acting CEO Dr U Jayaraj, and taluk family welfare officer Ramachandra, were present on the dais.

    Dear Dalits. Unity is strength. Upper caste people are having high ranking in the society not because they are smart but because Dalit community has been betrayed and opportunities have been deprived for ages. Unless you are united and bury the differences, the higher caste community will divide Dalit unity and use you for their benefits. Beware of the divisive forces.
