VG. ¶ A call for Sikh - Dalit unity issued by a Dalit movement press. "50 years ago, art the time of independence, whenever passengers in a bus found a Sikh travelling along they felt reassured - that a Sardarji was there to defend and help them in times of distress. 50 years later...whenever passengers in a long-distance bus find a Sardarji travelling with them they eye him with suspicion and are wary of him..What a downfall in social prestige and stature from a position of pre-eminence! This fall has come about not because of any misdeed of the common religious-minded Sikhs.This is the handiwork of those self-styled leaders of the Sikhs...They have played in the hands of Brahminical forces within the country who have been busy reducing Sikh influence among the Indian people since independence.." - Foreword]
