I think we should not encourage casteist ideologies of Tikait or Mayawati. Both are identical but on opposite poles. Don't forget it is same Mayawati who coined the slogan "tilak taraju aur talwar, inko maro joote char". She is in power now courtesy Brahmins who have strange history of always being on ruler's side. Let us not call it victory of any group. This can lead to backlash by Jats which can turn ugly. Let us not forget that dalits despite all that Mayawati's power are still poor landless people at the bottom of society. All they need is food and peace. They have to work for every meal so don't drag those poor people in your caste games.

It is not to consider as vicotory of dalit ,it is vicotry of a peacful and decent society,some Caste GUNDAAS want to break our peace and law,onebody have right to abuse to other ,if some one give ""u gali then other will give u Goli"",time is changed now,wverybody is powerful,And Abuseing CM is against protocal and a punishable crime, Mayawati is proved that she is very alert for protection of rights of Woman ,poors and miniorities, Mayawati is strong lady and she donot worry for votes ,thats y she is popuplar everyday against all community , Now these days one few caste peoples they like to live in groups do nusience some time otherwise other educated peoples very well know if we abuse other then what will be result,

This seems more like a political vendetta than what it is being touted as. This whole drama happened because a Jat with some influence uttered certain words against a Harijan Chief minister. In the same state Harijans were slaughtered in Etawah and the said Chief minister didn't had the time to do any thing about it. Seems the culprits of Etawah are still roaming freely even after being identified. The question to be asked is, why was M.S. Tikait given bail after being charged under SC/ST act. This all reeks of a deal so that the C.M. could save face.

Kanshiram was said to be a Messiah for Daliths.Mayawathi became their saviour.In a democracy all have a right to get the resources of the society in lawful methods.Caste System in India became rigid in the passage of Time.That was suited to those days of despotic rulers. To check them only society had drafted its own Constitution.Nobody can deny the fact that Indian Society always lived in Peace and Harmony though no country had been invaded so many times by foreigners as India been.Caste system underwent many changes in thosands of years and today's Balance Sheet is reflecting in UP with Brahamins and daliths joining hands.An Ancient Telugu Poet describing a character said that Nigama Sarma was a Brahamin only by birth not by any other norm which meant he was wicked and full of vices.Upper castes and middle cates should shun their arrogance and treat Daliths as humanbeings Daliths also should not hate the upper catses because those days demanded certain rules for the runninbg of society. Even untouchibility first came in to existence for Health reasons because the works they perform in those days.Later that became a practice.Not only this even the Sati System. Ladies of royal families used to sacrifice their lives with their husbands volunatarily due to love towards them and also fear that the conquerers might seduce and spoil their character.But after some time Sati became a rule and ladies were forced to jump in to the funeral fire of their husbands against their will.Why all that? The Fatheres of our present Constitution might not have dreamt that Indian democracy will take the present shape.60 years saw such a drastic change.At that rate India is more than 60000 years.

I do not subscribe to many policy of Mayavati. But rule of law should prevail as otherwise there will be anarch everywhere. If Tikait is let off today tomorrow the same principle may have to be applied to Thakres in Maharashtra ,Mayavathi too ( in future ofcourse) who all think that they are above the law and can get away with any utterings.
