An Educated "dalit"

educated dalit, working in office elite, his journey from rags to riches, hardly matters for high caste there, safeguarded through religious care, see the dalit with crucifying glare, wonder how could a dalit dare, to overcome his sordid tale, of breaking away his caste jail, for them its not his education, but simply unearned reservation, well, they prefer to stay ignorant, rather than be observant and agree, to their sly ancestors religious vagary, of keeping majority of population, religiously away from education, widely making negative propagation, low caste deserve condemnation, now in era of globalization, they provide legal justification, by granting on paper certain reservation, but see the anarchy of socialization, majority of dalit population, struggling for handful reservation, while minority ruling population gets the rest as gratification, the educated dalit wonder, there are many like him who thunder, for the dalit rights to be consider, and its time to learn from past blunder, individuals fight and meek surrender, unless someone like dr. ambedkar, been true dalit caretaker, gather the courage again, to teach the dalits how to gain, social rights lost in vain, perceiving false political fame. ...rAHHUL
