 Please, please, please, please, please, please, may I also request Dr. Saeeda Hameed and Professor Midhula Mukherjee to come up on stage. Also Captain Ajayadav and Imran Pratapuri to pay the floral tributes and come up on stage. I am going to now request Rajuji to come up and make his brief remarks. Namaste to all of you. Jai Bhim. Respected Sri Rahul Gandhiji, Service Sri Rajesh Rillaitya, Captain Ajayadav, Imran Pratapuri, Gurudev Sappal, Pushparas, Senior Leaders of the Congress Party and party workers, friends from Ajayadav, Samarit Bharat Foundation, Penguin India, members of the panel and others, friends from media and civil society organizations and colleagues. This book which Rajuji is going to release in the next 3-4 minutes, I will not take more than 3-4 minutes, is about truth and lies. Truth of Dalit lives and lies of the caste system. The Dalit truth bears the burden of the past with unflinching grace. The caste lies try to negate the past so that the dominant communities which have fabricated these lies can perpetuate their dominance over the least. To understand any social or political narrative, we have to understand the truth. Dalit truth is put under mask, not under one mask, but many masks, every mask woven with the lies of the caste system. So, we have to unravel the truth by removing these lies, by removing these layers of the lies. What is the Dalit truth? Despite the promise of equality and fraternity, exclusion is hiding behind the pretense of inclusion. Exclusion is hiding behind the pretense of inclusion. That is the Dalit truth this book is talking about. This book is a companion to the truth seekers who want to demolish the architecture of caste system. That's why they have to understand what are the lies that are perpetuating the caste system. The book is also about two pathways, two different pathways, one pathway taking Dalits to Samidan where they will get equality, they will enjoy fraternity. Other pathway is taking Dalits away from Babas of Ambedkar towards Manuwar where inequalities will be increased, caste system will be perpetuated. It is for Dalits to know which side they are going or they are going towards Ambedkar or they are going away from Ambedkar. This book examines thoroughly the truth and falsities of political mobilization of Dalits by various political parties. This book also is about trials and tribulations of Dalits on one side but parallel to the suffering of Dalits there is also time, there is also resilience of Dalits small voices, big victories of Dalits. This book is celebrating the big victories of Dalits, their contribution to India, their contribution to the world. This book also is about various other facets of life from political representation to entrepreneurship, education to cinema from delivery of justice to at least delivery of injustice from judiciary and from mobilization of Dalits towards constitution or away from the constitution. Finally, I would like to mention here the narrative of this book got inspiration from two powerful speeches delivered by Sri Rahul Gandhi Ji. One in 2015 at Mao birthplace of Babasaheb Ambedkar when Congress Party was celebrating 125th birth anniversary of Babasaheb where Rahul Ji has given clearly called to the Congress Party to wage battle again as the caste system. Perhaps it was the first time in the history of political history of India that a political leader after Babasaheb Ambedkar gives such a clear call to the Party workers to fight against the caste system. The second speech was at Nagpur in 2016, very close to Dixabhumi where he talked about two ideologies competing with each other. One ideology keeps Dalits as a prisoner to the caste system. Other ideology which Congress Party he exhorted should follow will free Dalits from these clutches. So these two speeches has given the narrative to this book and finally I would like to thank the others who have given to me symphony of Dalit voices looking at the future. They have given me flowers of different colors, different shape which I tried to put them together and put them with a narrative to look to the future with a lot of promise, possibilities for change and bright future. I would like to thank them for their contribution. I would like to thank SBF. I would like to thank Rahul Ji for all the encouragement he has given to me for doing this project. Thank you very much. Thank you. May I now request all the honored guests on stage to launch the book. We have the book copies in front. I will request Arthiv to give just wait for the second this thing. May I request everyone to stand and launch the book. Thank you. May I now request Rahul Gandhi Ji to make his intervention. Mr. Raju Ji, Mr. Hameed Ji, Mr. Murudula Mukher Ji, Mr. Pushprath Deshpande Ji, Mr. Gurdeep Sappal Ji, Mr. Elizabeth Kuruvala Ji, distinguished panelists and authors, all participants in the audience, friends from the press. I would like to welcome all of you here today. This particular topic, Dalits and how they are treated, has been an interest of mine from long before I joined politics. I remember, I don't know how these things happen, but I remember I was working in London as a consultant and I was walking on a street there and suddenly I got the idea. I don't know where it came from because I was not really, I was not really informed about these things. In those days I was not even interested in these things, but suddenly the idea came into my mind. Maybe something I had read that I cannot accept that there could be people in my country who other people would refuse to touch. I could not understand how a human being comes to such a conclusion. I could understand that human beings might not like other human beings, might detest them, might be angry at them, I've been angry at people, but I simply could not get my head around the idea that a human being who would be ready to touch a dog would be ready to kill an insect like this, would be ready to pet a horse, that same person would suddenly for some reason decide that he refuses to touch another human being. I could not understand this. And for me it's been a very long journey and now I think that must have happened in 96, 97. It was a thought in my mind how does this happen? How do people do this? Why do people do this? And that was the thread which I used to start understanding my country. It was like when you get a thread in a corner, you can hold it and open it. By the way, this idea was for me. I wanted to understand my country and I got a very big contradiction that there is a country like this in the world and brothers and sisters, there is only one country. There are only two. There is only one country in the world. I read about this and then I saw that years ago this idea used to happen. But today there is only one country in the world where people say that I will touch a dog, I will kill a cockroach but I am not going to touch a human being. Look, on one hand I did not like that this could happen but maybe, I don't know, I read the book of Pradhaga Discovery of India so in my mind I want to understand this. Why does this happen? Why exactly does this happen? And I have studied it now. Certainly since I was in politics from 2004 to today and it has been in the back of my mind what is this, what is this, why is this happening, why is this happening? I cannot answer the question for you fully. I cannot tell you that look, this is the precise reason it happens but I have a sense now much better than I used to before that this is actually what is going on inside the person's mind when he says I will refuse to touch you. I want to tell you as you go along in politics and especially if you are searching there are many politicians who are just interested in power that is the only thing they are searching for. They wake up in the morning and say how will you get power? They wake up late at night and then they go to sleep and the next day they wake up and say how will you get power? And today in India I have a problem in that it is strange I was born in the middle of power in the middle and I am very strange I am not interested in that I am telling you the truth I sleep at night and try to understand my country I wake up in the morning from my beloved country that is why as a lover who loves someone he wants to understand so I try to understand in the morning and in a way I am a beggar No, listen why? because my country without any reason gave me complete love listen, listen, listen above me there is debt and I wake up in the morning and say the love my country gave me the respect my country gave me how will I get power? the country just didn't give me love the country even gave me shoes No, you cannot understand how much force how much violence from violence this country has beaten me so I thought why did this happen? and when I got the answer the country wants to teach me the country is telling me that you should learn you should understand if you are in pain then nothing learn and understand so in a way there are stories sometimes to learn on the way there are incidents you get to see stories today I will tell you two or three stories the first story you all will know you will remember that one day on WhatsApp on one day on WhatsApp I showed a video on which young people were being beaten by a stick remember in front of everyone in front of everyone they were beaten by a stick one person was not beating one person a thief a thief was beating remember Savarkar said in his book the day I was happiest was the day me and my friends went friends and me went and beat up a Muslim boy means means we Savarkar said I did not want to use the word Jee but I did it is a culture but inside when I was going to say don't say but I said let's go it is a culture I said one thief 10, 15, 20 people beat up a weak person I saw one more thing it was not a chance like now there is a fight between Russia and Ukraine Russia thought they will give medicine but there was a fight there was a fight on both sides on one side on the other side weak people and no chance I went I am not going too long I went I did not go and I went to the square one of them went to a boy's house and I sat with his father on the square and I held his hand and I held his hand and I held his hand I was scared like this the media was a little far I came in front of the media to hide their fear and I made them do not see the media that they are holding hands they have to do this in politics they have to hide their fear I told them today I am here to stand with you they said yes I told myself I cannot live in such a country I heard then I was told Rahul Ji I was happy I said Rahul Ji for the first time for the first time I gave you a response No, you are playing the instrument do not play the instrument listen to the whole thing maybe you did not like it but what I saw they said why are you happy Rahul Ji that when my son was killed after that 10-11 youths had an insecticide I was shocked I said what are you saying response was a suicide I killed myself I was absolutely shocked I did not say anything to them as I said discovery of India I wanted to understand that time I was with Alankar I said Alankar these 12 people they all died, check it I found out that they did not die they were alive I said where are they they are in the hospital from here 150-200 km away I said let's go and see let's go and understand that the response of these criminals what is this what happened they went in the car they reached one boy in ICU second, third, fourth fifth, sixth the first one had his family the second one had family standing on the floor scared the person who gave us food he died in ICU before death I went to the family said hello and I asked how is the boy the family did not know anything I took the doctor to the side I told the doctor in English I came to understand I said doctor what is his condition like the doctor said he is not going to survive he will not survive what should I do I cannot tell the family but I know that this poor boy will not survive I went to the second one the doctor said the same thing I went to the third one the doctor said the same thing I thought where did I go I went to the fourth one the doctor said he will survive I was very happy he will survive he was not conscious the boy near him he was a little conscious I asked the doctor will he survive he said he will survive then I said I was a little confident I said he is not going to survive the doctor said I think he will survive I was happy the one who was conscious I went to him I asked him how are you he said I was very sad what did I say when I saw the whatsapp that my brother was being killed like a dog I could not bear it I could not bear it I said what did I do he said I went I went to my house I picked up the insecticide bottle I drank the insecticide then I went to this place to commit suicide I held his hand I told him you are fine there is no problem the doctor said you will survive don't worry we will do whatever help you can I went to the next boy I asked him what happened when I saw the whatsapp there was a storm in my heart that my brother was being threatened against one side and I could not do anything and that same violence every day is against me so when I saw the whatsapp I went to my house I picked up the insecticide I drank the insecticide and I went to this place I thought that this was a suicide pact I thought that these 10-12 people together drank the insecticide but I understood that this was not a suicide pact this was burning in my heart there was a kerosene in my heart and it was burning at 12 different places I went to the next boy I said he was a little conscious I said how did you come here the same answer I saw the whatsapp in my country it is against me every day I drank the insecticide every time I said you went to the house and the insecticide why are you going to the house the insecticide the way I was thinking my mind has a different idea a very strange thing from what I am saying from what I am saying it came to my mind that if I had a place and I was ready to die then before dying the one who killed my brother would have killed him it came to my mind that if my sister if someone had tied my sister and killed her then I would have killed her my father was killed and I did not my father's weapons there is no hatred but when I was in the hospital I said if this had happened to me I would have killed her so I asked her I said tell me one thing do you read the newspaper she said yes I said in the newspaper the one who killed her you can find out her name she said yes I said she is a girl she said yes she is a girl what are you asking me I said tell me one thing I said if I had a place and I was ready to kill myself ready to commit suicide then I found out who was the one who killed my brother he would remove the knife from the kitchen he would go to the bus he would go to his house he would go to the wedding his face became white I was told what did you say what did you say I said what did you say if someone had killed my sister I would have killed her she said do you not understand you are such a widow do you not understand what did you say she said if I had killed her I would have been born again I said what did you say she said I could not have killed her if I would have killed her I was shocked and I understood that on the shoulders of this person there is a burden of thousands of lives the burden of thousands of lives on his shoulders he was not able to remove the burden so he is saying that I will not be able to kill him this was the first story the second story a few days ago I met a senior politician who was talking about diet he was talking about exercise and I asked him the question do you believe in your birth BJP said do you believe in your birth he said I do not so I said if you do not believe in your birth then how can you believe in Ram he was shocked he said the thing is right do not tell anyone outside do not tell anyone outside so what is happening today you talked about the constitution constitution is the weapon of India but without the institution there is no meaning to the constitution listen again without the institution there is no meaning to the constitution we are wandering around you say we have to protect the constitution I say we have to protect the Constitution but how does the constitution be implemented from the institution all institutions are under RSS the institution is not in your hands and not in my hands if the institution is not in yours then the constitution is not in ours and this There is no new attack. This attack started that day when three bullets were shot in the chest of Mahatma Gandhi. Ambedkar Ji. Ambedkar Ji worked to develop and protect the constitution. That is why we have kept flowers in front of the photos. Because Ambedkar Ji gave us weapons. But today, there is no meaning to that weapon. There is no meaning. Because whatever vehicle is, the vehicle is very beautiful. You have to go to Jaipur in the vehicle. Five people are sitting in the vehicle. Four people have to go to Jaipur. And the driver wants to come. Do you understand? Five people in the vehicle. Democracy. Four people say that they have to go to Agra. And the driver says that he is going to Jaipur. This is happening. This is happening. And how is KIA going? By controlling the media. By controlling the three or four largest Arab husbands. By controlling the politicians from Pegasus. Can I tell you? Can I tell you on stage? If I had taken one rupee, I would not be able to give this language. So Pegasus, CBI, ED. They control the political system. There was no politician like you. You must have seen that Mr. Mayawati did not fight. We gave Mr. Mayawati a message. Do the alliance. Become the chief minister. Not even a word. Not even a word. The people whom Kanshiram Ji respected. I respect them. By giving them blood and sweat. They woke up the people of Uttar Pradesh. The loss of Congress. That is different. But they woke up that voice. Today Mr. Mayawati says that he will not fight for that voice. He gave an open path. Why? CBI. ED. Pegasus. Only the people can fight. Until the voice of the people of India is heard. Until it comes out. Until then they will not let the constitution be controlled. This is the truth of India. Many people like it. They do not like others. And when the constitution does not work. They go directly to the weak. Who are they? They are wrong. They are illiterate. They are disabled. They are unemployed. They are small farmers. And today look at the economic situation. Look at the unemployed. So it is time to fight. And what Mr. Ambedkar Ji said. What Mr. Gandhi Ji said. He showed the way. There is a way. There is no need to walk on the road. It is a difficult job. There is no easy job. There is a way to walk on it. Thank you.
