It's interesting to see the kind of creatures the modern consumerism produces and the mass media encourages. Environmentalists who can't live without air conditioning. Farmers leaders who've never spent a day in the farm. Trade unionists who've never gone to factory. This is the why I find radical dalit politics so interesting. They might be uneducated, or immature but they know that the leadership has to come from the shared experience. A Brahmin how can never understand what they go through.
I agree very much with this.
People who do not have their ear to the ground should never claim they hear the thunder of horses !!
Groups should always be represented by those affected.
But then again we assume that there are leaders within these groups.
Sadly these groups sometimes lack good leaders and hence lean on those with separate motives.
