Time to Organize.

ANSWER by Shekhar Bodhakar:

WHY DO YOU WANT THE SO-CALLED “DALITS” TO UNITE ANYWAY AND AGAINST WHOM?

The exact meaning of the word “DALIT” is ‘ground down’, or ‘broken to pieces’.

[Academic Ref]: Anupama Rao, Representing Dalit selfhood

the word 'DALIT" is derived from the verb, ‘dalan’ meaning ‘oppression’ but is often inappropriately used to label the Scheduled Classes. In it's proper context, it is used used to describe:

ANY continually suppressed and downtrodden PERSON, mentally crushed and broken, who most likely would be a woman, minor, widow, divorcee, orphan, disabled person, labourer, a person from SC, ST , OBC or any other oppressed minority group.

A dalit, a continually suppressed victim of atrocities, could be ANY PERSON who has been and still is unfairly treated in an inhumane way

If by dalits you mean the scheduled castes, then that's the correct term to use, NOT Dalit. I think by the word “ Dalits", you really mean “Pseudo-Dalits”

What is the difference between Neo dalits and Pseudo Dalits?

You cannot unite the so-called dalits because they believe in caste identities. Make them shed their caste identities and they will automatically unite as the Casteless Avarnas. As "dalits", they can never unite.
