<b>Let Dalits become head priests of Hindu pilgrim centres: RSS</b>
<!--QuoteBegin--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->New Delhi, Oct 29: In a surprise suggestion, RSS mouthpiece Panchjanya has favoured appointment of Dalits as head priests of Hindu centres of pilgrimage.
"The time has arrived to consolidate the Hindu brotherhood. Dalits, the warriors of the faith, and the disadvantaged should be suitably trained and made head priests and protector priests of Hindu pilgrim centres along with those who call themselves Brahmins by birth," the RSS organ said in an editorial in its latest issue.

I fully and wholeheartedly support this move. It is quite a welcome move and a much needed one at that. It has to be made sure that along with the induction, it should not become a 'caste, percentage, quota' game but a genuine caste abolition strategy.
