AHMEDABAD: The US Ambedkarite Collective, an umbrella body of North America-based Ambedkaritegroups, issued a statement expressing solidarity with Calcutta high court judge C S Karnan, who has been sentenced to six months imprisonment for contempt of court.

The umbrella body, comprising seven groups including Ambedkar International Mission, Ambedkarite Buddhist Association of Texas, Ambedkar International Center, International Commission of Dalit Rights, Ambedkar Mission Society of Canada, Be Educated and Cherukonda Institute, also demanded reservations in the higher judiciary.


It further congratulates Justice Karnan for his bravery in exposing the deep-rooted caste-based sensibilities of the Indian judicial system.

"The US Ambedkarites are closely following events unfolding around Justice Karnan's episode. It extends its warm support to Justice Karnan and encourages him to continue his struggle that is representative of the community experiences," said a statement from the US Ambedkarite Collective, from its volunteer Vinaya Shivraj Anuradha.


"Justice Karnan's devastating allegation against the Supreme Court judges' caste discrimination is living evidence that the court system in India is hazardously infected with caste prejudice. His courageous testament to uphold democratic values and constitutional principles devoid of nasty casteism is a living example of the caste virus severely affecting the fabric of the Indian republic," reads the statement.
