DALIT

Brahamins, Scholars and Class conciousness and Intellectuals:

It is a grave reflection on the scholarship of the Brahmins that they should not have produced a Voltaire. This will not come as surprise if it is remembered that the Brahmin scholar is only a learned man. He is not an intellectual. There is a world of difference between one who is learned and one who is an intellectual. The former is class concious and is alive to the interest of his class. The latter is an emancipated being who is free to act without being swayed by class conciousness.
