No one automatically becomes an Ambedkarite/periyarist merely by birth ,even Ranjith !
No one automatically becomes an Ambedkarite just because one is an SC by birth nor does one become a periyarist just because he is born a BC .
Does anyone say a TTV or a Ramadoss is a periyarist just because their caste falls under the bc list ?on the contrary day in day out they are exposed for being the casteists that they are .
Then how come Ranjith ,( who says things like , the Dravidian movement has been fooling the people by cunningly portraying brahmanism and Brahmins as villains,north indian Hindia is not the enemy but the dravidian idea is the Trojan horse etc etc quite consistently ),is celebrated as an icon of the pan India ambedkarite movement , especially by the populous SC castes?
Isn't it obvious that this guy has either not studied the Ambedkar- Periyar perspective or is willfully appropriating them to suit his cynical personal ambitions .
And at least doesn't it seem like whatever one may do , that in the eyes of the populous SC throughout India one automatically becomes an Ambedkarite merely by virtue of one being born a SC and are we all not supposed to be fighting this very idea of birth based attributions ,from which the caste system derives its very life essence .
Therefore Ranjith and his militia can keep screaming " only ambedkar (all the rest are useless) ,only ambedkar(all the rest are useless ) ,only ambedkar ( all the rest are useless)..............." Till the end of time if he wants , but that doesn't make him an Ambedkarite by itself ,on the contrary it only exposes him and his militia for working against what great men like Ambedkar,periyar etc stood and fought for all their life .
And those who celebrate him as an Ambedkarite icon for saying these kinds of things are part of the problem called brahmanism and Hindia and never the solution .
