~ My father was fortunate that there was a Government press just next to his work place. Once a presswala got to know that my father is an ardent reader of Ambedkarite literature. He started delivering Ambedkarite literature to him. When we had all this voluminous literature available at home, my father insisted on me reading only two books vigorously -Buddha and his Dhamma and Annihilation of Caste. I wondered if he was asking me to read because its our religious text. Around the same time, l also observed that a few of my Hindu friends were Gita readers. That made me take to the two texts recommended by my father. Read them quite a number of times. The thing I want to imply here is, like the many Buddhist monks who carried Buddhist texts to the east and other places during the Brahmin invasion when they were either being burnt or destroyed by the Brahmins, we were the carriers of these texts.. I see, in both the cases there are similarities. We have a stake in it, we were the soldiers here who carried the movements chariot loaded with texts. ...And now we are the battle ground too. ~
