jai bhim!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ystdy ws 6th december...... one of the most dreaded days in mumbai!!!!!!! actually there were 2 events on 6th december..... the first one is death anniversary of babasaheb ambedkar and second is demolition of babri masjid.......... both huge events which caused an upheavel in indian politics. while the latter event was dreaded till some time back.... the first event gives goosebumps, filth and much more to mumbai city........ the entire city almost avoids dadar area like its untouchable...... ouch did i say untouchable??????? well the fact is that the dalits " so called untouchables of the past" come each year at chaityabhoomi which is located at dadar shivaji park and comemmorate their great leader ambedkar!!!! but the problem is they dont come in ones or twos..... they come in droves of lakhs and crores of people from thoroughout the length and breadth of the country!!!! fine, this shdnt be too much of a problem actually... some people cmng to pay respect to their dead leader shdnt cause any problem to anybody.... but unfortunately it does!! the people squat on the road....not that its uncommon in mumbai, they bathe on the roads...... dat too is pretty common in mumbai....... but the thing is this is done by lakhs and lakhs of people who come to pay respect to their leader. people in mumbai avoid the local trains, buses, offices, schools, colleges etc etc. in short many people hate to get out of their homes on this day!



and why does all this happen? is it bcoz of too much of rush? or is it bcoz we dont wanna mingle with "that type of crowd?" have we actually achieved freedom from untouchabiltity? or is it that we dont show our discontent publicly???
