Dear friends, Jai Bhim,
For last 3 days I am reading this hot topic of jai bhim vs jai mulniwasi. these mails gave me lot of knowledge.
I want to give my views about this issue. It might hurt many people but I think I must say these things.
First thing, some people given in their email that people asked Babasaheb to delay the acceptance of Buddhism for election. But Babasaheb bravely accepted Buddhism though other untouchable communities in Maharashtra didn't got converted.
Second thing, Republican party of India restricted itself a party of buddhist (previous mahar) people. Here other mistake of not including other untouchable communities in the fight, so those communities made their distance with newly converted Buddhist people and continued to follow hinduism.
Third thing, Mahar and Matang has cold war since ages. When mahar left their balutedari (lower jobs in villages) matag immediatly accepted them. Still in many villages in Maharashtra there are separate Samaj-mandirs for both communities. Chambar people were having money in their hands as compare to other untouchables due to their jobs of leather. This community feared of loosing of money they are getting of upper caste people and till the date today excluding some respectable people of chambhar community did not taken part in any protest. They are silent always take their benefit for reservation system, do progress and think why to fight on issue of reservation then mahars are there to come on road for fight.
Fourth thing, Republican party of India went into hands unworthy people who started thinking they are like King and all Buddhist (previous mahar) people will follow them. Even the Mahar caste in Maharashtra has its subcaste except west Maharashtra. After converting to Buddhism still these subcasts can't forget their identity and separate groups came into picture in Republican party of India. Sharad Pawar wisely noticed this and for his own benefit he made dogs out of leaders of RPI.
Fifth thing, movement outside Maharashtra became strong due to efforts of Mr. Kanshiramji. Behan Mayawatiji continued the movement of Kanshiramji but she made mistake herself not to convert herself into Buddhism just for sake of power. She also given wrong message of "Hatti nahi ganesh hai, Bhrahama-vishnu-mahesh hai". In Utterpradesh before social engineering theory she was dependent of votes of Chamar (chambhar), Jatav. Still these communities are basic lifeline of votes for BSP. When BSP tried to establish them self in Maharashtra they first concentrated on chamabhar samaj which is their basic lifeline, but as I said in third point chambhar made themself so inactive BSP had to see major setback. Then they tried to concentrate on mahar samaj (now converted to Buddhist) to get some help but this community pissed up from RPI politics were hesitant to accept new party like BSP.
Sixth point, many people even in Maharashtra are now converting to Buddhism. Recent event is conversion by Mr. Laxaman Mane and Sushma Andhare along with VJ-NT tribe (bhatake vimukt, paradhi, ramoshi, kaikadi, etc.). It is well known that Mr. Laxaman mane has close relationship with Sharad Pawar, but inbetween for few years he Mr. mane got neglected and same time he was influenced by Buddhism to make his own status (social status or political status). Miss Sushama Andhare was giving great speeches before this conversion ceremony. Many people also know that few weeks after conversion vehicle carrying leaders involved in conversion of VJ-NT tribe got accident. No one died but these leaders were in ICU for many days. After this incidence Mr. Mane has said not a single word about conversion of more people to Buddhism and he started praising Sharad Pawar again, also went for election but got defeat. Miss Sushama Andhare not given single speech. In one meeting in Pune my pappa personally asked Mr. mane about absence of Miss Andhare, that time he told after accident she do not want to make any speech.
Seventh point, about BAMSEF. With the increasing strength of RPI in previous days many people thinking that they can't grow to higher level in RPI joined BAMSEF. At the same time many other backward communities got awareness of their mistake not going with Babasaheb. Now to join the movement these people were in search of platform. BAMSEF found this opportunity and to attarct them in their group to tried to tell these communities how the communities these people in BAMSEF are related with their cummunities this term of MULNIWASI was made popularized. By this was BAMSEF people got mass people without impressing thoughts of Babasaheb and Buddhism on these people.
Eighth point, Mahatma Phule ji and Savitimai are not been followed even by Mali samaj to which they belong. Except few respected people this community has also gone into sleep. Chagan Bhujabal is showing that he is leader of all OBCs just to make his political weight in nationalist congress party, but what about messages given by Mahatma Phuleji and Savitrimai. Then Babasaheb is far away for them.
By considering the points above I want conclude that because of mistakes in past made by our own leaders many people did not converted to Buddhism. These people who hesitate to follow Babasaheb or Buddha brought these terms like Jai Ravidasji, Jai Phule, Jai Annabhau Sathe, etc, etc,. Now if even people are trying to converted to Buddhism hindrance are been made by RSS. So considering the population of backward class community only few percent of loyal people remain who are saying Jai Bhim.
So I appeal all backward class people though even our fathers has mistake in past not joining movement of Babasaheb, join it now without hesitation, do not get miss guided by few politically influenced people and say JAI BHIM with proud. Otherwise the words of 2nd Sarsanghchalak of RSS Golwarkar guruji will came true, he said, "I am proud of those low caste people who even after being ill-treated by higher caste hindus remained sticked to Hindu religion".

Dear All,Namo Buddhay and Jai Bheem !!I didnt want to comment on this email but still.... :) , first of all I apologize if this email hurts to anyone directly or indirectly.Few days back, I had have attended one Cadre Camp of Mulniwasi. They tried to tell true history in very fantastic way, no doubt. From there i came to know that MULNIWASI Group is Non-Agitational, Non-political, Non-Religious etc etc ...If they are saying that they are non-religious they how Jai Mulniwasi is going to help?Friends this might be the critics for one email, ..."... Jai all and Jai Mulniwasi ......"does this Jai all, also Jai/Victory to all crores of non-Brahmins hindu god/godess, Allah, jesus christ, Bhagwan Mahavir etc. As Mulniwasi people says.....Brahmins hai Videshi ....Baki sab Mulniwasi! so victory to non-brahmins god very funny.Many of our friends who are always bounded to Maharashtra always say that Buddhism has embraced by so called Mahar of Maharashtra. But what about who are not Mahars and still adopting the Buddhism in North and South. Here, Jai Mulniwasi people didnt go to them and tell to adopt the Buddhism. The message of Babasaheb is reaching them to embrace the Buddhism.Well, my friends I dont have any hatred for Mulniwasi Groups but the concept of Mulniwasi sect is not digestable by me.Lets move We all are aware Babasaheb used to write Jai Bhavani in his mails. then why dont we also involve that in our list of Jai... is it because Shiv Sena people use it?We must remember, Jai Bheem is international recognised, where we salutes to Babasaheb..When we say we salute to Babasaheb, doesn't it mean Jai Bheem is also salute/victory/Jai to babasahebs Teachers/Guru i.e. Buddha, Jyotiba Fule, Shahu Maharaj, Shivaji Maharaj, Saint Rohidas, Saint Gadge Maharaj. Yes, It is my dear friends.Anyawys...its all upto individual Active group to what to say.Few days back I attended one program of one famous singer (he is only 4th class educated not hightly one) at Vasai .....he said....Jo Jai Bheem nahi mahnan tyachya Tondat kide pado.... (Those who wont say Jai Bheem, their mouth will be infected with insects)I request to Brave Sainiks of Babsahebs Caravan not to use such new thing which will put the naive Sainiks in dilemma.

Dear Dr Param Anand,
Jai Bheem!
You are contradicting yourself in your mail. You are saying that our ultimate aim is Dhamma and not politics. Many People who follow "Jai Mulniwasi” are not Buddhist. Then why are you advocating for Jai Mulniwasi?
Over the years I have failed to understand one simple thing that people who say that they are follower of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar but we observe that they are not Buddhist. What was the last message Dr Babasaheb has given to us? Is it not follow Buddhism? When one says that he or she is follower of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar then he should also accept the Babasaheb’s suggestion to conversion to Buddhism. One is either follower or not. This is follower-ship by convenience.
On our various forum we have lot of people who claim that they are hardcore follower of Dr Babasaheb and they still follow either Christianity or Hinduism or some say they have no religion at all. I failed to understand their Psyche. How can they be true follower of Dr Babasaheb?
There are many examples of this. One of my Indian friend who was in India some 15 years ago and now settled in USA. He rouse to very high position in one of the renowned education Institute by availing reservation while he was in India. He got into good job in USA due to the fact that he achieved good position in job due reservation. He is from a village near Nagpur. He married to a South Indian lady. I don’t know about the caste of this south Indian lady. This person is from Scheduled Tribe. During one of his visit to India when we were discussing about Dr Babasaheb, to my surprise my friend said that Dr Babasaheb was a Brahmin and he worked on untouchablity issue. Not only that his son who is brought-up in America is wearing thread saying that he is Brahmin. What kind to teaching parent are giving to their kids? One day, I am sure his son will come to know the reality and then what respect he will have for his father?
Another friend of mine is working in ONGC at senior post. By caste he is Mahar but his family converted to Christianity in 1920s. He is married to a lady who was Buddhist before marriage ( a Mahar by caste). My friend refuses to say Jaibheem. When I asked him about this issue he says he know the contribution of Dr Ambedkar in liberating him from untouchability and for him matter ends there. Why all people who are converted to Christian by force or by will before 1956 and they are follower of Dr Babasaheb are not adopting to Buddhism now?
When we have so much problem in even following jaibheem why to create one more dividing factor – Jai Mulniwasi? A very respectable Indian Settled in UK once used only Jai Mulniwasi in his mail on one of the forum and he did not mentioned jaibheem. I asked him on the forum as to why he is not writing salutation as jaibheem? He said he will reply me separately. It is now almost 4 years. I am yet to receive answer from him. He says he is strong follower of Dr Babasaheb. When I had asked why he is not saying Jaibheem many Mulniwasi people on the forum wrote against me as why I have raised this question to such a senior person?
So my friends, we are not even able convince true follower of Dr Babasaheb to say Jaibheem where is the question of asking other people to say Jai Mulniwasi? Only politically motivated people prefer to say Jai Mulniwasi as they see achieving mileage in politics by saying Jai Mulniwasi. What are we achieving by just saying Jai Mulniwasi? That is the reason I am working with CERI (visit www.ceri.in) who is Campaigning for introduction of Proportionate Electoral System(PES) in India. If PES is implemented in India we don’t have to talk about any political gimmick. We can still achieve success in politics.
