Under Rajshekhar's leadership the Dalit Voice organisation formulated an Indian variant of afrocentrism similar to that of the Nation of Islam in the USA but it is different from other magazines in many aspects. It is notable for the radical antisemitism it preaches and also its link to Afrocentrist ideologies.[7] The book declares the Indian castes as nations within the nation of India. It argues for the strengthening of each caste.[8] Controversy and criticismDalit Voice has published articles about 'Zionist conspiracies' regarding Hitler and the Third Reich.[9][10] They have also supported the Iranian government and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust.[11]Passport confiscationIn 1986 Rajshekar’s passport was confiscated because of "anti-Hinduism writings outside of India". The same year, he was arrested in Bangalore under India’s Terrorism and Anti-Disruptive Activities Act.
