A large number of Dalits, including the intellectuals, academicians, students, Government officials, social activists and ordinary souls gathered under a roof to see the oath taking by a US President. Giving them the company was the US consul general in Hyderabad Kornellis M Keur. A group of young Dalit boys and girls preparing for the civil services examination were glued to the television screen trying to absorb the unfolding drama and grasp to the every word uttered by their hero Obama.
