From mouthing slogans like "Brahmin, Bania, Thakur Chor, Baki sab hum DS-4" to " Tilak, Taraazu aur talwar, maaro unko joothe char " to the present day, "Brahma, vishnu aur mahesh, haathi nahin hain yeh ganesh", the Bahujan Samaj Party and its precursor, Dalit Soshit Samaj Sangharsh Samiti(DS-4) has come a very long way in its evolution as a political force in some major parts of the country.
Thanks to Kanshi Ram and his vision, this has been possible. So when he died last week, after virtually being in a coma for more than a year, he left behind a party, which can well, claim to be the first political party of, for and by the downtrodden. Just to think that some thing like this could have been done, when Kanshi Ram became a full time politician only in 1986, would have been scoffed at.
