what do you mean by a dalit, he is an Indian and that all. It not only the Politician but also the media who had divided India on caste system basis. Infact we must work toward empowering our society on Socio-economic basis. The poorer should have first share and so on..and not on basis of caste as our religion and also our constitution teach us to treat and accept everybody as equal.
I would rather like to read this as a man from humble background has achived this post through his sheer ditermination and hard work.
