Debunking the "Blue" Belt of India

Debunking the "Blue" Belt of India:

Valmiki repeatedly mentions in the Ramayana that birth in the higher varna and in good families is the result of excellent Karmas in previous lives. At the same time, we have the Blue Belts proclaiming poor Valmiki to be one of their own!

"There are those dalits who consider Ambedkar/Mayawati  a "Bodhisattva "

--->A Bodhisattva can by no means come from a lower or even mixed caste: ‘After all Bodhisattvas were not born in despised lineage, among pariahs, in families of pipe or cart makers, or mixed castes.’ Instead, in perfect harmony with the Great Sermon, it was said that: ‘
The Bodhisattvas appear only in two kinds of lineage, warriors (kshatriya).
and if there is no suitable warrior then the lineage  of the brahmanas
-LALITAVISTARA

--In his study of caste and the Buddha (“Buddhism, an atheistic and anti-caste religion? Modern ideology and historical reality of the ancient Indian Bauddha Dharma”, Journal of Religious Culture, no.50 (2001)),

Did the Buddha denounce Vedic Sampradaya as often mouthed by the Ambedkarites ??

A) At the end of his life, the Buddha unwittingly got involved in a political intrigue when Varsakara, a minister of the Magadha kingdom, asked him for the secret of the strength of the republican states. Among the seven unfailing factors of strength of a society, he included “sticking to ancient laws and traditions” and “maintaining sacred sites and honouring ancient rituals”.
[Digha Nikaya 2:73]

So, contrary to his modern image as a “revolutionary” who rebelled against the caste system and vedic society , the Buddha’s view of the good society was close to vedic sociey 

Far from denouncing “empty ritual”, he praised it as a factor of social harmony and strength. He wanted people to maintain the ancestral worship of the Vedic gods, go to the Vedic sites of pilgrimage and celebrate the Vedic festivals. " (Shonan Talpade)
