Why do today's Hindutva leaders talk about BRA in such high regard? Along with being in sync with Muslim demands, his constant attempt was to permanently severe the Hindu society into pieces!
BRA never stopped his bootlicking of Britishers in hope of an important position in their government.
Giving him a position in the Executive Council of the Viceroy to play to the tunes of the British was the greatest act of helping Scheduled Castes according to BRA! Clearly he was a megalomaniac who replaced this personal benefit with helping the masses!
BRA was however but one of the pawns in the grand scheme which the British were playing to incite separatist tendencies present in other communities such as the Sikhs.
The same approach was afloat with respect to "Tribals/Vanavasis" as well. The plan was clear:
Detachement from Hinduism -> Easy of getting preys for missionaries --> Strengthening the influence of British in the Indian society throw these converts.
And BRA was a suitable instrument for the British to push their agenda with respect to the Schedules Castes.
Along with BRA other such 'Sepoys' such as Jogendra Nath Mandal, another Dalit leader, proved to be very useful to the British, to put up Indian faces who speak in their convenience in opposition to the national freedom, and helping them further their agenda. @RajivMessage
