Here is a very interesting interview with two powerful, yet persuasive minds working on mission to do something concretely with the idea of Capitalism, Caste and Society. And thus they say "'Capitalism
is changing caste much faster than any human being. Dalits should look at
capitalism as a crusader against caste". A bit from the interview:
"What has happened during the past 50 or 60 years is that the state's welfare measures or methods or reservations got slightly misunderstood and also slightly misused by the "victims".
...10 per cent of MSMEs registered with the Government of India are Dalit-owned, which is about 1,64,000 across the country.
...the silencer in the Tata Nano is produced by a Dalit entrepreneur.
Affirmative action has given Dalits a launch pad. A launch pad is a launch pad. You need that to take off. Ambedkar gave you the launch pad. Now don't run on the launch pad, take off.
Because of economic reforms, globalisation, you can't produce everything under one roof. You will have to outsource work. Most of the Dalit entrepreneurs of today are beneficiaries of outsourcing.
Along with globalisation came Adam Smith to challenge Manu. So that's why for the first time, money has become bigger than caste.
there is an economic process, that capitalism is changing caste much faster than any human being. Therefore, in capitalism versus caste, there is a battle going on and Dalits should look at capitalism as a crusader against caste.
what man failed to do, capitalism is doing. Let us go with capitalism that is changing caste faster than your reforms
People who are working on poverty have a better life than people like us, because if you work on poverty, then you fly. You work on poverty, you live in five-star hotels. If you work on poverty, you are in touch with big foreign funding agencies. So, talking poverty makes you strong, makes you rich.
The inspiration behind DICCI is the economic thought of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar. The second is the black capitalism in America."
