On the birth anniversary of BR Ambedkar, Let me share something on Dalit Leadership (Pre/Post Independence of India)

Thread

1/n
2/n, In middle 1930s, There were two prominent Dalit faces in India
1. Jogendra Nath Mandal
2. BR Ambedkar

In 1940s, JN Mandal joined Muslim League.
3/n
July 1946, Elections were announced for Provincial Legislation, BR Ambedkar tried it from Bombay but Congress didn't let him succeed.
Later JN Mandal helped BR Ambedkar and sent him in 296 People's assembly from then undivided Bengal (With the help of Muslim league)
4/n,
JN Mandal was an advocate of DALIT-MUSLIM unity, therefore he wanted BR Ambedkar to join him in this movement, This was one of the prime reasons why he sent BRA to assembly in 1946 that too after making his legislator resign.
5/n
BRA outrightly rejected Dalit- Muslim unity. This is where his difference started emerging with JN Mandal.

JN Mandal was one of the founding father of Pakistan, became it's first Law Minister of Pakistan under Liaqat Ali's leadership.
6/n
JN Mandal's idea of Dalit Muslim unity and creation of Pakistan didn't go well in Pakistan, While BRA did smart thing and didn't let Dalits and marginal section of Hindu society to toe Dalti-Muslim unity line.
7/n
From 15th August 1947 to 8th October 1950, He remained a law minister, commonwealth and minister on Kashmir affairs.

And when he saw the massacre of Dalits/marginal section being beaten up by Muslims of Pakistan and Pak leadership didn't do anything,
8/n
When around 5 thousand Dalit were beaten up and paraded in Pakistan, JN MANDAL's Dalit-Muslim unity formula FAILED miserably. Now he had become the culprit of throwing Dalits into fire for his ambitions.
9/n
On 8th october 1950, He resigned and In February 1951, He came back to India, leaving Dalits/marginal section of Hindus die in Pakistan. Rest you know how many Hindus are alive in Pakistan as on Today.
10/n
After returning to India in February 1951 to the death of JN Mandal on 5th october 1968. He lived the life as 'A Grand example of Dalit-Muslim Unity Failure', Died and literally nobody bothered. Almost 17 years lived in humiliation, Couldn't face Dalits/marginals in India
11/n
Moral of my whole narration is that DALIT-MUSLIM unity is a farce, JN Mandal tried and got millions of Dalits/Marginal section K!lled.

BR Ambedkar outrightly rejecting this Dalit Muslim unity. Says a lot. Learn from the history and never repeat the same mistake again
12/n
Those who considers BR Ambedkar as their idol and talks about Dalit Muslim unity are the biggest enemies of his work.

JN Mandal was a Monumental Failure of Dalit Muslim Unity,

My tribute to BR Ambedkar on his birth anniversary 🙏

END.
