Here is the reaction of Indian Institute of Dalit Studies and National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights. It's on the firstpost (cannot link it right now).
Indian Institute of Dalit Studies, Dilip G Diwakar, said “This is an unnecessary reactionary move by the RSS that is aimed to create antagonism between Hindus and Muslims. It is not merely a caste comment per se. This argument that is being made by the RSS is a very communal one."
Asked if he saw efforts to rewrite Dalit history as an attempt in that direction, Diwakar said, “Of course. As long as Dalits see themselves as separate from the upper caste, consolidation cannot happen. One, the RSS wants to consolidate the Hindus and two, they want to create antagonism between the lower-castes and the Muslim community, which will indirectly benefit the consolidation process.”
Asha Kowtal of the National Campaign on Dalit Human Rights said, “This is another conspiracy by the Brahmanical forces operating in the garb of RSS. Our histories have been altered for centuries now and as a result of which caste-Hindu forces claim every space - in education, business, public life etc. This is clearly another way of breaking up the excluded communities - like Dalits, minorities and lower-caste groups.” Kowtal is general secretary of the All India Dalit Mahila Adhikar Manch.
