634 Part 1 of Ranganayakamma's criticism against Ambedkar's philosophy भाग १ अंबेद्करजी के तत्व चिंतन पर, रंगनायकम्माजी की विमर्शा। భాగం 1 శ్రీఅంబేద్కర్ తత్వం పై శ్రీ రంగనాయకమ్మగారి విమర్శ

స్వర్గీయ సురవరం ప్రతాప రెడ్డిగారి వలెనే, నిత్య స్మరణీయులైన వ్యక్తులలో రంగనాయకమ్మగారు ఒకరు. ఆమె తెలుగు గడ్డ పై జన్మించటం, లేని దేవుళ్ళు మనకి ఇచ్చిన వరం. ఆమెతో తెలుగు వాళ్ళంతా ఏకీభవించాలనిగానీ, ఆమెను పూజించాలనిగానీ, గౌరవించాలనిగానీ, సన్మానించాలని గానీ నేను చెప్పటం లేదు. ఆమె ఆలోచనా విధానం తప్పకి పరిశీలించ తగినది, కొంతవరకైనా అనుసరించ తగినది. మార్క్సిజానికి ఆమె కమిట్ మెంటు , లాయల్టీ అనితర సాధ్యం. ఆమెను ములగచెట్టెక్కించటం నా ఉద్దేశ్యం కాదు. మచ్చుకి ఈ రోజు అంటే 23.12.15 , ఆంధ్రజ్యోతి దినపత్రికలో ప్రచురించ బడిన శ్రీ రంగనాయకమ్మగారి 'అంబేద్కరిస్టుల భ్రమలు ' అనే వ్యాసం భారత్ మరియు తెలుగు నేల భవిష్యత్ ను ఆశించే ప్రతి వ్యక్తీ చదవ తగినది. దీనిని ఆంగ్లంలోకి అనువదించి, తెలుగు రాని ఇతర భారతీయులకు కూడ అందించే లక్ష్యం నాకు ఉన్నది. ఎప్పుడు నెరవేరుతుందో చెప్పలేను.

The Marxist Author Ranganayakamma is a person about whom we must think about at least a few minutes, like Late Survaram Pratapa Reddy. Her method of thinking, is worth analysing and emulating at least to some extent, if not wholly. Her commitment and loyalty to Marxism, is not possible to others. It is not my intention to praise her endlessly and leave it there. For example, her Article titled "Ambedkarists' Illusions" published in No. 2 Telugu Daily Andhra Jyothy is worth studying by every INdian, not to speak of every Telugu person. I intend to translate it into English and post here, together with my frank views. I do not know when that ambition will be accomplished.

ybrao-a-donkey's humble comments. वैबीराव एक गधे के विनम्र राय . వైబీరావ్ గాడిద వినమ్ర వాణి. You have every right to differ with me. I respect your right. आपको मेरे मत से भिन्न राय रखने के संपूर्ण हक है। मै उस अधिकार को परिपूर्ण रूप से गौरव देता हुँ. మీకు, మీ భిన్నమైన అభిప్రాయాన్ని కలిగిఉండే సంపూర్ణ హక్కు ఉంది. దానిని ఎంతో నేను గౌరవిస్తాను. However, pl. examine this donkey's views also. परन्तु एस गधे के दृष्टिकोण को भी अनुशीलन कीजिये. కానీ ఈ గాడిద దృష్టికోణాన్ని కూడ ఓర చూపుతో కంటజూడుమీ, క్రీగంట జూడమీ.

One important problem with the articles of Ranganayakamma is they have very high standard, on a theoretical plane. It is very difficult for ordinary people to comprehend the gist. Lot of effort is necessary to understand the content, arguments. Our people are accustomed to audio-visual Cinema Stuff on TV channels. Our people have lost their ability to read SERIOUS texts even in our own Mother Tongue Telugu language. This is a very very sad state of affairs. Then we cannot expect Ranganayakamma gAru to come down to our levels.

Great Great courage will be required to required TODAY to criticise Late Baba Saheb Ambedkar. Even if the criticism is genuine, owing to Vote Bank Politics somebody or other some class of people will immediately come up with complaints, objections or slogans, without caring to examine what the author wanted to convey. Consequently, the whole issue will be sidetracked. Hence, my special appreciation is to Ranganayakamma gAru, for her risk-taking venture.

I shall try to discuss some of the points raised by her in about 10 posts at this blog, mostly from practical point of view.

Now, I shall write some real-life observations from my life, which are relevant to Marxism (what I call Equalism, to guard against confusion with today's misplaced Communism in countries like China).

What I want to say is "Srama dOpiDi" (Robbing of Labor through Exploitation of Labor by Employer. I shall simplify the term Srama dOpiDi for the benefit of those who are not conversant with it: It is based on the Theory of Value by Karl Marx. In simple terms: If a laborer adds a value of Rs. 100 to a product which he-she contributes by his-her labor, and the employer pays him only Rs. 40 as wage, which may be a market wage based on demand for labor and supply of labor), a Srama dOpiDi of Rs. 60 takes place. The Rs. 60 is used by the Capitalist Employer at his whims and fancies. --This ybrao-a-donkey calls principal or main Shrama dOpiDi (A mode of Exploitation of Labor).

Everyday I go to a Tea stall for tea and tiffins. My monthly bill to them is about Rs 3,000/-. A part of it is paid by the TeaStall owner to his workers. I interviewed, as a sample two workers, to find how they use their earnings.

To my great distress I got the following replies:

One person: I get Rs. 240/- as my wage everyday. Every month I go to some movies. Often, I purchase tickets at high prices. For example, I saw bAhubali, buying a ticket of Rs. 270/-.

ybrao-a-donkey works up in his mind: The last time I saw a Telugu film in a Theatre was somewhere in 1987, a film Titled "dhriva nakshatram", in which Venkatesh acted as hero. It was at a Theatre named "Swati" in Bhavanipuram Area of Vijayawada. I rarely see films even on TV, because of domination of advertisements. Besides with meagre pension I can't afford to see films.

ybrao-a-donkey, to the Tea-stall worker: "You get a daily-wage of Rs. 240/-, and you have purchased Bahubali ticket for Rs. 270/-."

The worker might have thought that I was arrogant through my remark. He said: "What is wrong. There are people who purchased bAhubali tickets for Rs. 500/- and saw it well ahead of me. What wrong did I commit?"

ybrao-a-donkey: "They may be some corrupt Govt. employees or some blackmarketing merchants. Ordinary people will not buy."

The Tea Stall worker: "You are mistaken. He pointed out his index finger at another tea-stall worker. It is he who purchased bAhubali Ticket for Rs. 500/-."

Then ybrao-a-donkey goes to that other worker and inquires from him whether the inforamtion is correct, out of sheer inquisitiveness.

The Second worker: "Yes. What is wrong in that! They have produced the film spending crores of Rupees for making the film."

ybrao-a-donkey got stupefied. రాయినైనా కాకపోతిని రామపాదము సోకగా , బోయనైనా కాకపోతిని పుణ్య చరితము పాడగా అనుకుంటూ కాళ్ళీడ్చుకుంటూ ఇంటికి చేరుకున్నాను. (ఇంకా ఉంది)

To continue. सशेष. సశేషం.
