~ Dalit writers [are] forced to take a stand regardless of whether or not they want to enter this debate: Can a non-Dalit write about Dalits? Non-Dalits have been writing about Dalits since time immemorial. Nobody has stopped them. How can a Dalit stop a Non-Dalit? Its a ridiculous question. They have written extensively on Dalits. This is the first time, some of us have started writing, started articulating and then this whole debate comes up. And these are all manufactured debates.~
