Greetings to all. I am feeling proud myself to get such an opportunity to be present at this International Dalit Conference. First, I have a question in my mind that whether I have come to a foreign Country or to my own native land? 64 years ago, it was our native land and there were no barrier between these two countries. My parent’s birth place is Barisal. First of all I am a Bangalee and I have come in Bangladesh having same mother Language. Now Bengal has been divided by BSF and BDR/BGB. It is a very much pathetic history of our life and in our country.

I am from BAMCEF Organisation, the full from of BAMCEF is the All India Backward and Minority Communities Employers Federation.. BAMCEF thinks of the socio economic cultural developments of the Dalits of India and act strongly as a non political common platform amongst the Dalits. The term Backward has reference in the Article 16(4) of the Constitution of India. The SC.ST, OBC have been jointly referred to as Backward because all these castes falling in these categories of backward, but the degree of backwardness varies. This is due to doctrine of graded inequality professed by Brahmanism. The Scheduled caste, scheduled Tribes and other backward classes’ people are all aware that they are historically one class of people, the original inhabitants of India. As far as the term Minority in India is concerned. it refers to the religious minorities in India. Social Scientist have proved that during the course of history, some of the Mulnivasis, that is indigenous people, got converted to different religions at different point of time. These mainly include Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, and Buddhist etc. Our BAMCEF established to propagate the philosophy and vision of Dalit icons, Dalit messiahs namely Rastrapita Jyotirao Phuley, Rastranirmata Dr. B.R.Ambedkar, Periar Ramaswamy Nayekar, Sahuji Mahraj, Birsa Munda, Hari Chand Guruchand Thakur, Jogendranath Mondal etc etc. The Misson of BAMCEF is the Misson of these forefathers, that is for establish casteless and classless society, eradication of untouchability and achieving social justice for Dalits and to uproot Brahmanism, the sprit of inequality and to preserve a new social system based on humanity and the principal of equality liberty fraternity and justice. India was a country of equality fraternity brotherhood, love respect, before Aryan Invasion, these are the Buddhist Philosophy. Humanism is the main philosophy of Buddhism. The Brahmanism has destroyed the Buddhist philosophy. Now we called Hindu but in no religions books there is no word of Hindu. This is ridiculous. Brahmanism has divided us more than six thousand seven hundred castes from upper to lower, not equal.

As per Government of India, UGC News, Vol-3, March ‘98 issue says that India has 4,694 Communities and 324 Languages. We demarcated the line between the oppressor and exploited people by adopting ideology of 15% VS 85% in which 15% people of India are beneficiaries and 85% are victims of the Brahmanical social systems. In India the population of Brahmins is only 3.5% but they have captured 70% Government Services. As per the news report published in the Times London DV 16-30th Jun 1991, it’s revels that in India there are 19 Numbers Brahmin Secretaries out of total 26 Secretaries, 13 Brahmin Governors out of 27 Governors, 116 Brahmins out of 330 Chief Secretaries, 50 Numbers Brahmin Vice Chancellors out 98 Vice Chancellors of Universities, 258 Numbers Brahmins Distract Magistrates out of total 348 District Magistrates, out of total 3300 IAS Officers there are 2376 Brahmins, 90% NRI are Brahmins, Since independences the India has been ruled by upper castes, still now the Government of India is being led by Brahmanical forces and the opposition party is also led by Brahmins Political Leaders.

Branhmins are parasitic and they reap benefits of others labors. Brahmins mentions that Vedas give what the ideal society, the society that is fragmented into four castes. i.e. Brahmins, Kshtriya, Vaishyas and Shudars. There are huge differences between these castes in the field of social status or respect, social rights and privileges. The higher castes enjoys more benefits that the lower castes. Brahmins are above everyone and Shudars are the lowest rung. The jobs of Brahmins is to receive and give education and conduct all religious functions and ritual like priest, Khatniyas had to take-up arms and weapons and fight. Vaishyas were to be engaged in trade and commerce. Sudras are at the lower level and were the slaves who had to work for the three higher castes. A person of one caste can not enter into the livelihood of other castes. . Castes are not according to one’s work but according to ones birth... A person of lower caste not entitled to do the work of another caste. This is Vedic Society. . Gautam Buddha had criticized this social structure very strongly. The basic policy is that of inequality, Brahamins have created this unequal social framework to keep the all others under them as slaves. Buddha proved all reasoning given by Brahmins are wrong. Buddhism is the original religion of India. Brahmanism or Vedic religion or Hinduism is the religion of Aryans who were foreigners who made 90% of the indigenous population as slaves. Tribal peoples are the worst sufferer of the Brahmanical social order. In historical point of view Aryans are not indigenous people of India. It has been proved beyond doubts that Aryans are foreignness and they do not belong to our land. Aryans now they are Brahmins invaded India. See the recent research on DNA, it proves that Dalit and Minorities DNA are same but the upper castes DNA does not match with us. It matched with western countrymen’s. . I brought some books, on that research; you may go through that research oriented book which is available in the Mela. That Aryans under-took a continuous and prolonged attacked on the culture and civilization of Mulnivasis of India. As a part of the strategy of battle, some Mulnivasis went jangle and continued to stay in jungles, these are called Adivasi they are scheduled tribes today. The Adibasi society is based on community living co-existence with nature collative decision making non profit and equality for all. Now a days the world is heading towards a critical situation and the life and mission of these tribal may show a road map of the inclusive development of the so called development theories which are based on exploitation injustices and against nature. Friends remember the sacrifice of our great ancestors and recall the single handed fight of Dr Ambedkar and we the Indian Dalits are very much grateful to the Dalits and people of Khulna, Barisal, Faridpur, Tangail, Rangpur etc. districts who send Dr. Ambedkar in the constituent Assembly to write the Constitution of India and Dr. Ambedkar gave us the reservation for SC/ST/OBCs. .Although reservation in Govt service demanded 1st by upper castes people in British period and the Government of British gave reservation quota for IAS services. The SC/STs had the right of reservation in the field of (1) advancement (2) profession and (3) representation in Government programmes with quota of 15% as well as 23% for SCs 7.5% as well as 5% for STs in Central and State Government programmes since 1950 and 1976 respectively. This was a fundamental rights. During the first two decades of its origin in 1950 the so called Mannvadi or Brahminovite political leaders of India gave a deaf ear to the hue and cry of the SC/STs and consequently they did not apply the right of reservation at all. A little bit emphasis was given by the rules for application of reservation in the 70s and 80s decade. As a result of which a few SCs and STs could be asle to reach to the arena of higher education and Government service. So reservation is the only key of the present progress of SC/STs which is seen today in India. But the progress of the SC/STs were checked rather stooped at the outset of the 1990 decade due to unwillingness of the planners administration and politicians backed by the Supreme Court of India vide its famous Mondal Judgment dated 16th nov 92 and so on. All of you know that India entered in the era of LPG that is Liberalization Privatiza tcon and globalization, in 1994 the GATT arrangement kicked off the Davits from behind. and as a result of which dalits are about to be drowned into fathomless depth of the poverty of ocean. .Government of India changed the Patent Act. Government departments were sold out to the inland and foreign Multi National Companies at nominal costs. As a result of shifting of the Govt owned and managed enterprise to the private sectors the hard earned right of reservations of the SC/STs started vanishing and today a large number of Government enterprises have gone to the private sectors and SC/STs are deprived of their rights. .Moreover Government of India time to time issued five anti-reservation orders. During 1990s decade the Supreme Court of India over-exercised its power other than laid down in the Constitution by issuing various verdicts against the reservation policy of SC/STs and the Government of India was keeping mum. The apex Court can not suppress the Parliament but the same was repeated in several times. Dalit political leaders and their parties also voiceless in the law making house . During the ruling of National Democratic Alliances (NDA) Govt led by the BJP at the Centre. .Mr. Atal Behari Bajpaiye as the Prime Ministers declared one Judicial commission of 11 members headed by Justices Mr. Venkatchellaiya on 13th feb 2000 for rewriting the Constitution of India. The aim of the attempt was to change the mandate of equality and social justice followed by dilution and abolition of the right of reservation and safe guards of the minorities. The Dalit peoples started strong movements and as a result of which these all attempts was dropped. In India Jobs in the Govt sector are shrinking fast and eligible educated Dalit boys are not getting employment more jobs are being created in the private sector where our entry is banned. So long as reservation is not extended in private sector, situation will become bad to worst. After putting so many efforts we realized that Manuvadi Govt and Industrialists are not going to give reservation in private sector. So we had to rush for international support for our just cause. The foreign Government controlled business in India; there the concerned foreign Government may pass law to provide reservation and job quota and can ensure participation of Dalits in projects sponsored by World Bank etc. If manuvadi industrialists are not ready to share their wealth with Dalits let them share with foreign business and other International bodies.

Today India is a factory of manufacturing beggars. Dr. Arjun Sengupta’s report shows that 77% or 80 to 85 crores of people are living below the poverty line. Though India is a very resourceful country but we have the greatest numbers of poor people in the world. We have to exert our rights that the remedy. Least but not last point I want to add that the Govt of India amended the Citizenship Act 2003 where in Bengali Refugees can not get Citizenship. Before conclusion I want to make an announcement that BAMCEF organized conference of Davits in every year, this year it will be held at Nagpur from 25th to 28th December 2011. I invite all of you to attend in the said conference.Thank you.

2nd Session:-

My dear brothers and sisters,
In this computer era casteism prevails everywhere India. The PTI News published on 31st may 1997 that a newly appointed principal in a collage of Bihar Mr. Kameswar Jha washed his chair by holy Ganga water as the earlier principal was a Dalit. In the year 1997 at Village Gopinathpur PS: Narayangar, Disit. Midnapur West Bengal the Hari Communities fought for getting permission to worship puja at local Mandir. In Kolkatta also in the Duraga puja of Dompara the Dom people are not allowed to participate in the Puja. .In the birth place of Raja Ram Mohan Ray the pioneer of renesa movement and he stopped satidaha, satidaha means after death of husband living wives was cremated along with the dead body of her husband and during that period one man had many more wife’s. . Village: Khanakul, the birth please of Ram Mohan, there are two separate burial grounds. /Shaswan Ghat one for Brahmins and another for non Brahmins. . Few years ago, in the District: Ganjan of Orrisa Vill.: Dhunburi the apper caste people charged fine of Rs 1.5 Lakhs to Dhopa Community against charges that they want to increase Rs. 50 per year instead of 20 for washing clothes of upper caste for this absured demand they not only fined for Rs. 1.5 lakhs they stopped to takes crops from their fields and physical assaults also.Although Napit people also denyed to cut hair and wash the leg of upper caste in that area. In the District Shibgang of Tamil Nadu State one Dalit women Panchayet Prodhan was stabbed by knife by an upper caste man when she hoisting flag in India Independence Day.

On 28th July 2001 in Mou city the birth place of Babasaheb Ambedkar some Chamar people went shaswan Ghat/Burial Ground for creamation of a dead body, suddenly began heavy rain, there was no shed in the burial ground marked for lower castes, finding no way out they brought the dead body to the sheded area marked for upper castes. After having this, the upper caste people vehemently attacked with strict and sharp weapon to the Chamar Basti and destroyed the Jhuggi Jhopris of chamars. . In Village Dudas Distt: Debas of Madhya Pradesh. As per the Government reservation policy the panchayet post declared reserved for Scheduled Tribe Woman in panehayet election 2001. There was only one Tribal family .in that village but they also went-out another area due to torture of .the upper caste, then the upper caste people prayed to Govt for dereservation but Govt. did not agreed. .Then the Muslim people of that village brought that Tribal family and one woman from that family become panchayat pradhan but she have to do work by the instructions of upper caste peoples. Similar fact happened in Manasha Gram Panchayat. Wherein upper caste people forcefully or by showing threat of murder they used to take sign of ST illiterate woman panchayat pradhan and by that papers the living man showed dead and siphoned Government money, . Once it come notice to the D.M. then the facts reveals.

After the earth quick in Gujrat and after Sunami in south India during the distribution of relief materials, Dalit peoples were discriminate and deprieved badly. The Government constructed some temporary shelters where the upper caste people refused to stay with Dalit peoples. So the Government has to make separate shelters for Dalits celebrated economist Nobel laurite Prof. Amarta Sen’s report shows the dismal condition of dalit students in primary education system. . Many political parties make dalit issues and shows crocodile tears. There are so many organizations and groups working for the upliftment of Dalit and to change the social systeam, few of them are BAMCEF, Bhanat Mukti Moreha, and All India confederation of SC/STs. Depressed Classes Lcague, Ambedkar Missions, Hari Guruchand Matua Mahasangha, and Prometheous. Dalit Samaj Mahajote, Guru Rabidas Seva Sangha, Mulnibasi Samaj Sangha etc and different caste based Samities like Namasudra Samity, Koibarta Samity .etc there are many cultural groups also like Santikunja in west Benpal etc. There are vanious types of divisions and ill coordinations amongst the groups and there are also ledership problems. . Now some dalit leaders introduces a new policy to arrange puja, marriage sarads etc. without Brahmans. The Dravir Mahasangha is trying to form religious Parlament to make the new systeam of puja and other religious ceremonies avoiding Brahmins and sanstkit mantres they prepared new mantras/chants by citing the name and Misson of Dr. Ambedkar and other dalit messiahs. I extend my heart felt thanks to the Manusher Jonnya Foundation for organizing this Dalit Conference. I also request them to spare some pages on their website for only Dalit issues and to coordinate all Dalit organizations. Thank you once again. Posted on April 06, 2011
