~ Dalit-Bahujan social and political reformers, including Ambedkar, never limited Dalit politics to electoral politics or capturing political power. In fact he essentialised Dalit politics as the simultaneous creation of public spheres. That is evidenced in the simultaneity of his attempts to produce texts, protest against discrimination, demand rights and inclusion, carve out legal spaces and create psychological emancipatory spaces and potentialities in the minds of the untouchables. ~
