Since the 2001 UN World Conference against Racism (United Nations 2002), it has become indispensable to recognize the movement of Dalit concerns into global forums ‘by appropriating ideas about caste and religion that have been long used to mystify the local and “native” inhabitants’ (Reddy 2005: 543). Dalits lost the battle to include ‘caste’ in the official charter of the Conference, given the strong opposition of the Indian Government. However, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD) in August 2002 stressed the ‘Eradication of segregation of descent-based communities’.
This now needs to be readdressed, but with an innovative slant if it is to be made relevant in comparative terms to a different milieu, such as South Asia. Equally relevant is the relationship of religion and communism in India (Menon 2002), in particular if we wish to establish a stronger connection with Ambedkar’s thought on religion ([1957], BAWS 12): For Ambedkar, soteriology also had to include socio-political aspects, and thus for him the spiritual man should be ‘socially and politically committed to justice’ (Fitzgerald 2000: 128).
The Jewish Question underlines mainly the ‘political subalternity’, given the opposition between State and civil society, which implies in this case a distinction between juridical equality and economic inequality. Hence, the Jews become a metaphor for all (political) subalterns. The Southern Question is primarily conceived as a ‘territorial subalternity’ since, despite the unification of Italy, the North exercises its hegemony over the South, hence southern peasants turn out to be a metaphor for all (territorial) subalterns.
