Mr. Arun Kumar Singh –
Indian Ambassador to US
Sunnyvale Hindu Temple on July 24, 2015 |
After assuming the charge of the Indian Ambassador to US about 3 months ago, H.E. Mr. Arun Kumar Singh, visited the San Francisco Bay area from July 24-26, 2015. During the visit, he addressed a media conference on 24.7.15 at Sunnyvale Hindu Temple, in which, he spoke on the present scenario of Indo-US relations and also responded to various questions from the media persons on the subject.
In his remarks, Hon’ble Ambassador has stated that he looked forward to enhance the opportunities for engagement between India and the United States in the economic sector as well as in other areas. Describing the present day Indo-US relationship as very strong, he cited the visit of Prime Minister Modi to the US in September 2014 and President Obama’s visit to India in January this year as the outcomes of the same. He added that this is the first time that US President has visited India twice in his tenure and the first time that an US President has gone to India on Republic Day. He described this as a clear reflection of progress of the current day relationship between the two countries. Ambassador Singh referred to the US President’s statement that ‘the Indo-US relationship can be one of the defining partnerships of this century’, and the Indian Prime Minister’s statement that India and the US are ‘natural allies’. Ambassador Singh added that both the countries share in common democracy, pluralism and rule of law and there is a huge opportunity in different areas of cooperation including in the economic sector.
Ambassador Singh said that the current level of the trade between the two countries is $100 billion and added that the leaders of both the nations have sought to increase it to $500 billion. He stated that during the last five years, Indian companies have invested more than $15 billion in the US thereby creating in the USA about a 100,000 jobs directly and several more indirectly. Conveying that US companies have been present in India for a long time, Ambassador Singh emphasized that there are great economic opportunities in India, like Make in India, Digital India and other schemes, in addition to opportunities in infrastructure, renewable energies, and education.
Appreciating the West Coast of the US for its focus on innovation and entrepreneurship, the Ambassador informed that, in India also, a lot of work on innovation and entrepreneurship is taking place at present. He said that the startup sector in India is growing and as per the estimates, in the last two years, almost $4 billion has been invested into startups in India. Highlighting India’s recent Mission to Mars in the last September, Ambassador Singh stated that India is the 4th country in the world to send a vehicle to the Mars and the first country to succeed in the first attempt. He added that the cost for this Mission was only $ 65 million, which is less than the cost of production of a Hollywood film focusing on space and it highlights the cost effective innovation and research happening in India, at present.
Ambassador Singh said that the most important fact that provides firm basis to the Indo-US relationship is the ‘people to people interaction’. He conveyed that today, India has the strongest relationship with the United States. He mentioned that at present, there are more than 3 million Indian-Americans in the US and with about 110,000 Indian American doctors, one in every 7 patients in the US is being treated by the Indian American Doctors. Also about 100,000 Indian students are pursuing studies in various US universities and approx. 40 percent of the hotels in the US are owned or managed by the Indians. He stated that the situation reveals that there is a huge engagement at people to people level with the US and it is on this basis that India wants to take forward the relationship with the US.
Later, the Ambassador has answered several questions from media persons on Indo-US relations.
Q.1: Though the Indo-US nuclear deal was signed in 2005, why has nothing happened in a decade’s time on that front, and whether US is creating barriers for the same ?
Response: There has been progress as far as the Indo-US nuclear deal is concerned. The announcement of the deal was made in 2005 and the agreement was signed in 2008. During the visit of President Obama in January this year, the pending issues were resolved, and now two companies in the US that have the capacity in this area are discussing the commercial and technical aspects with the Indian operators. They will take the discussion forward on that basis. So clearly, our aim is to find different opportunities to expand the trade and economic relationship between the two countries.
Q. 2: As the entrepreneurs are facing a number of difficulties to start a company in India, what about the Indian government’s efforts to create a ‘single window clearance facility’ to obtain all the necessary clearances with less effort?
Response: Since May last year, a whole series of new measures have been brought in and the permissions required have been reduced and most of the things one need to do can be done online. There is ease and much more transparency in the process. Secondly, an Inter-ministerial group has been setup to address the problems the US investors might be facing. If an US investor invested in India and if he is facing any problem, he can bring the same to the attention of the Inter-ministerial group which would address the issue. The Inter-ministerial group is located in the office of the Secretary, Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion. It is the organizing body and the secretariat for the group. In addition, there is another organization called ‘Invest India’ (the details of which are available on the web). It is a public private partnership with the Government of India and apex industrial organizations like FICCI etc. and they have been now revitalized to help investors.
Q. 3: What is the level of Indo-US defense cooperation and the joint military exercises?
Response: The defense cooperation with the US is strong and during the last 4 years, India has bought about $10 billion worth of defense supplies from the US, which is more than from any other country. It is the reflection of our relationship but what is new is that the two governments have announced to move away from the buyer-seller relationship with co-development and co-production. We have identified 6 path finder projects for co-development and once that is in progress that will further deepen defense cooperation. As far as the joint military exercises of India and the US, it has been said that the largest number of military exercises both India and the US had with any country in the world, is with each other.
Q. 4: Racial discrimination is being faced by some members of the Sikh community in the US and it is not being considered as “Hate Crime” by the US authorities.
Response: From the perspective of the Government of India, whenever an issue of discrimination of an Indian-American in the US, comes to the notice of the Indian Embassy or the Indian Consulates, the same is brought to the attention of the US authorities and beyond that, we all need to work together to try and address this issue by increasing awareness in the society where we are living.
Q. 5: Whether there is any future plan of opening a Consulate in the West Coast like Seattle or any other place for consular services.
Response: At this moment, there is no immediate plan to open any another Consulate in the west coast and we are trying to do things more online for consular services. Already, the US has 5 Indian Consulates apart from the Embassy in Washington DC.
Q. 6: When will be the Indian PM’s expected visit to the West Coast?
Response: Planning is being done in this direction and whenever details are available with us to share, the same will be shared.

BABASAHEB DR. B. R. AMBEDKAR
AND HIS COMMITMENT TO HIS PEOPLE |
|
|
Honorable Mr. N. Parthasarathi the Consul General of India San Francisco (California) USA unveiled a portrait of Bharat Ratna Babasaheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar within the consulate premises on August 14th, 2014 at 3.00 pm. Mr. Anand Jha Consul on of behalf of the Consul General of India San Francisco cordially invited all the Indian media & community to attend the function and report & more pictures coming in next issue of Ambedkar Times (English) & Desh Doaba (Punjabi) newspapers. Picture by Prem K. Chumber (www.ambedkartimes.com) dated August 14, 2014 |
On the eve of the occasion for a farewell function organized in honor of Dr. B.R Ambedkar’s departure for London on 15th August 1931 to attend the second session at Round Table Conference as a representative of Untouchable class at Sir Cawasji Jahangir Hall on 14th August 1931, Dr. B. R. Ambedkar said “In a conference of one hundred and twenty-five members we are two; but rest assured that we will move heaven and earth for the sake of your welfare. I had a talk with Gandhi this afternoon. At present he cannot do anything to promote your interests. We must stand on our own feet and fight as best as we can for our rights. So carry on your agitation and organize your forces. Power and prestige will come to you through struggle”. The way that Babasaheb preferred to adopt for the uplift of his people was democratic one. After grappling with the obdurate tormentors at Mahad, he successfully fought the legal battle to the advantage of his people and proved the oppressive social structures that the so-called untouchables were powerful enough to melt them thoroughly. For Babasaheb Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the battle is not for material and political gains; it was for self-respect, dignity and spiritual elegance.
Babasaheb Dr. B. R. Ambedkar fulfilled his promise to leave his mortal frame not as a Hindu precisely for this very purpose while embracing Buddhism. He exhorted his people to leave Hinduism if they wanted to live with dignity. And the only religion that gives them the same was/is Buddhism. He became Buddhist not to renounce the world but to retrieve his and for his people their due place in Indian society. At the time of his Diksha (adoption of Buddhism) at Nagpur in 1956, he told his people that he was offered on many occasions prestigious offices of profit but he declined simply for the reason that he wanted to serve his fellow beings. He used to say that the difference between a great man and an eminent man is that the former prefers to serve his people. Anyone who defies social tyranny is more courageous than the one who defies political tyranny. Babasaheb Dr. B. R. Ambedkar proved to be a great rather a greatest of all great men who fought valiantly all the might of social tyranny singlehandedly throughout his life.
We are proud of our Babasaheb who gave us all what we enjoy today. It is all due to his lifelong struggle that we are what we are and we salute our Babasaheb on the day of Independence of India which coincides with his march towards second session of Round Table Conference at London.

A
seminar was organized this evening at the residence of Dr.Bhagbanprakash
on ‘Creating a Novel Civil Leadership Forum’. The
leading personalities who attended this seminar are eminent linguist
Padmashree Dr. Debiprasanna Pattanayak, philosopher Dr. Bhagbanprakash,
Sheevidya-Ashram’s Maharaj Mahamedhananda, eminent dramatist
Dr.Ramesh Chandra Panigrahi, Odia-linguist Prof. Jantrana Parikshit,
Scientist Shri Bibhu Prasad Mohanty, writers and poets viz. Shri
Abhay Singh- Shri Tusharkant- Shri Bhabani Prasad Parija- Shri
Rajkishor Das- Dr.Prasanna Pattanayak- Shri Kedar Roy, social
workers viz. Shri Gobind Bhagwan- Dr.Bijay
Biplab Acharya- Shri Satyanand Behera-Shri Manoj Jena- Shri Subhendu
Mohapatra, woman-leader Ms Samghamitra etc. The objectives of
this meet were to inaugurate Bhanu Padmo’s 288-page book
“GANAMATI PARISHADA”, to outline the proposed novel
civil leadership forum and to initiate implementation of consistent
plans for the same. Mahamedhananda praised profusely this analytical
work of Bhanu Padmo when Dr. Bhagbanprakash described this work
as an example of ancient Sutra Literature. The latter suggested
that Bhanu Padmo’s style of expression needn’t be
compared with Bibhuti Pattanayak’s and may be left as Bhanu
Padmo’s. Dr. Ramesh Panigrahi underscored the outline, potentiality
and success of author’s Dream Theory when Prof. Jantrana
Parikshit described it as hard-worded but a meaningful Green Philosophy.
Shri Tusharkant insisted on easier exposition of the author’s
work keeping in view common man’s power of understanding
when Shri Bibhu Prasad was against dubbing his work as obscure
because the straight truths therein were plain and clear to the
pragmatic eyes, though these do hurt the prejudiced eye. To Ms
Samghamitra’s question on any author’s claim to authority
over truth, Bhanu Padmo expounded the doctrine of general occurrence
great truths. It was generally agreed that integrated national
civil leadership needs to be incorporated into Constitution through
an awareness movement as the author described the political-cultural-spiritual-social
aspects of civil leadership. It was deeply felt by the participants
that such prolonged discussion in a friendly environ could sow
the seeds for integration of State wide civil leadership.

Letter
to President Obama
United States
of America, White House, Washington D.C
by
A K Biswas
|
Dear
President Obama,
Subject:
Implementation of Concurrent Resolution of
US Senate on Untouchability in India
We
have learnt from media reports that accompanied by the US’
First Lady, Michelle Obama, you are scheduled to pay a state visit
to India in forthcoming November. I, on my own behalf as well
as on behalf of over three hundred million people belonging to
the Scheduled Caste (also called Dalits) and Scheduled Tribe communities,
who are the underprivileged and discriminated humanity at the
bottom of Indian society, extend a warm welcome to you. On this
occasion, we respectfully remind you of the Concurrent Resolution
[H. Con. Res. 139: 110th session] of the US Senate expressing
a sense that the United States should address the ongoing problem
of untouchability afflicting a population in India as large as
the aggregate population of the USA. As a Senator, you are too
aware of the contents and connotations of the said Resolution
to warrant its reiteration. Nonetheless, a brief reference to
the Resolution would refresh your memory.
The
Concurrent Resolution of July 24, 2007 fully recognised that the
vast multitude of population of India are denied and deprived
of their fundamental rights including right to life, dignity and
security, equality of treatment due to the widespread practice
of untouchability. They are discriminated in quality education;
equitable employment opportunities and subjected to brutal atrocities—physical,
mental as well as psychological—that block all avenues for
their upward mobility in life and station. The aforesaid Concurrent
Resolution dwelt on the atrocities as follows:
1.
‘…….Untouchables’, now known as the Dalits,
and the people of the forest tribes of India, called Tribals,
who together number approximately 200,000,000 people, are the
primary victims of caste discrimination in India;
2.
“……discrimination against the Dalits and Tribals
has existed for more than 2000 years and has included educational
discrimination, economic disenfranchisement, physical abuse, discri-mination
in medical care, religious discrimination, and violence targeting
Dalit and Tribal women;
3.
“……Article 17 of the Constitution of India outlaws
untouchability;
4.
“despite numerous laws enacted for the protection and betterment
of the Dalits and Tribals, they are still considered outcasts
in Indian society and are treated as such; moreover, in practice,
Dalits and Tribals are frequently denied equal treatment under
the law;
5.
“…… Dalit women suffer both caste and gender
discrimination as a result of the deficient administration of
justice and are often raped and attacked with impunity;
6.
“……the National Commission on Scheduled Castes
and Scheduled Tribes has declared that many of the reported cases
of atrocities against Dalits and Tribals end in acquittals;
7.
“……despite the fact that many Dalits do not
report crimes for fear of reprisals by the dominant castes, national
police statistics averaged over the past five years by the National
Commission on Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes show that
13 Dalits are murdered every week, five Dalits’ homes or
possessions are burnt every week, six Dalits are kidnapped or
abducted every week, three Dalit women are raped every day, 11
Dalits are beaten every day and a crime is committed against a
Dalit every 18 minutes;
8.
“…….many Dalits girls are forced to become temple
prostitutes who are then unable to marry and may be auctioned
to urban brothels, and many women trafficked in India are Dalit
women;
9.
“…….low-caste unborn females are targeted for
abortions;
10.
“according to Human Rights Watch and India’s official
National Family Health Survey, most Dalits and Tribals are among
those poorest of the poor living on less than $1 per day; most
of India’s bonded laborers are Dalits; and half of India’s
Dalit children are undernourished, 21 percent are `severely underweight’,
and 12 percent die before their 5th birthday;
11.
“…….Dalits and other low-caste individuals often
suffer from discrimination and segregation in government primary
schools leading to low enrollment, high drop-out, and low literacy
rates, perhaps linked to a perception that Dalits are not meant
to be educated, are incapable of being educated, or if educated,
would pose a threat to village hierarchies and power relations;
12.
“…….the Dalits and Tribals maintain higher illiteracy
rates than non-Dalit populations; and
13.
“…….the HIV/AIDS epidemic is India is massive
and Dalits and Tribals are significantly affected by HIV/AIDS.”
In
a nutshell, the instances explain and illustrate the predicaments
encountering life of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes
in every nook and corner of India. The contents of the Resolution
drive one to believe like the British philosopher Thomas Hobbes
that the life of Dalit as well as tribal communities in India
is “solitary, nasty, brutish and short”. With unmitigated
discrimination, exploitation and inequality against so vast a
population since ages, no country can hope to prosper and remain
peaceful or attain peace and stability, essential for growth and
prosperity. This makes India the darkest spot to warrant attention
for safeguarding human rights and dignity urgently.
It
hardly needs to be stressed that immediate solution to these perilous
problems calls for global attention. The US Senate, in the stated
circumstances, adopted the following strategies on its part to
address these burning issues in the interest of the Scheduled
Castes and Scheduled Tribes of India:
(1)
raising the issues of caste discrimination, violence against women,
and untouchability through diplomatic channels both directly with
the Government of India and within the context of international
bodies;
(2)
encouraging the United States Agency for International Development
to ensure that the needs of Dalit organisations are incorporated
in the planning and implementation of develop-ment projects;
(3)
ensuring that projects that positively impact Dalit and Tribal
communities, especially Dalit women, are developed and implemented;
(4)
ensuring that cooperative research programs targeting rural health
care, the HIV/AIDS epidemic, and rural technology contain proper
focus on the Dalits and Tribals;
(5)
ensuring that anyone receiving funding in India from the United
States Government—
(A)
is aware that it is United States Government policy that caste
discrimination is unacceptable, and that the United States is
committed to eliminating it; and
(B)
treat all people equally without engaging in caste discrimination;
(6)
ensuring that— (A) qualified Dalits are in no way discouraged
from working with organisations receiving funding in India from
the United States Govern-ment, and that transparent and fair recruitment,
selection, and career development processes are implemented, with
clear objective criteria; and (B) procedures exist to detect and
remedy any caste discrimination in employment conditions, wages,
benefits or job security for anyone working with organizations
receiving funding in India from the United States Government;
(7)
encouraging United States citizens working in India to avoid discrimination
toward the Dalits in all business interactions; and
(8)
discussing the issue of caste during bilateral and multilateral
meetings, including congressional delegations.?
WE,
for whom these momentous Resolutions were adopted in the august
House, are completely unaware of follow-up actions, if any, taken
by the US authorities in this behalf and the outcome thereof.
Your official visit to India furnishes the perfect opportunity
to acquaint and appraise ourselves of the action on these resolutions
that can go a long, very long way to uplift the fate and fortune
of three hundred million Indians. By adopting the Concurrent Resolution,
the US lawmakers and the people alike have befriended the faceless
Dalit and tribal communities.
I
can paraphrase the epoch-making speech of Reverend Dr Martin Luther
King, Jr and say I too have a dream that my 300 million fellow
Dalit and tribal men and women will one day live in a nation where
they will not be judged by the tag of their caste or tribe but
by the content of their character. We can never be satisfied as
long as the Dalit and tribal people are the victim of horrors
of social inequality and deprivation; economic and educational
discrimi-nation, exploitation and oppression. We can never be
satisfied as long as our bodies, heavy with the fatigue of harsh
treatment and atrocities, cannot gain access to every opportunity
available to Indians in the high end of the social ladder. We
cannot be satisfied as long as the Dalit and tribal communities’
basic mobility from circumscribed social ghetto to the wider world
of freedom are effected through equal opportunity for education
and employment. We are not satisfied and we will not be satisfied
until justice rolls down like waters and righteousness like a
mighty stream investing true meaning and new life to three hundred
million Dalits and tribals of India.
We,
therefore, urge upon you to grant an appointment for interaction
with a delegation of Dalit and tribal thinkers and activists during
your forthcoming state visit to India. The proposed delegation,
comprising some 8-10 members, would wait upon you for suitably
briefing the travails of their life and times obtaining in India.
The Dalit and tribal communities of India expect as well as demand
full and complete implementation of the strategies adopted by
the august US Senate in the interest of the downtrodden of India.
May
I, on behalf of three hundred millions of Indians, once again
request you to please grant us an opportunity to call on your
with a delegation and brief their conditions during your forthcoming
visit to India?
With
regards,
Yours
most sincerely,
A.K. Biswas.

“MAJOR
POLITICAL PARTIES FAIL TO REPRESENT DALIT CAUSE”
http://www.hindu.com/2010/09/27/stories/2010092759030600.htm
|
Staff Reporter:
Discussion
on ‘Remembering Poona Pact'
MADURAI:
Dalit movements and major political parties in the State are
deviating from highlighting the issues affecting Dalits and
have largely failed to represent them on many major issues in
the recent past, said Dalit Gnanasekaran, founder, Dalit Liberation
Movement.
Discussion:
Delivering a special address on a discussion titled ‘Remembering
Poona Pact,' and a book release event at Tamil Nadu
Theological Seminary on Friday, he talked about his experience
as a Dalit activist in Madurai and southern districts during the
mid 80's and early 90's before relocating himself to the northern
districts.
Free
chappals: In his speech, he talked about his experiences
working among the Dalits during the 1989 Uthapuram riots where
they organised close to 46 walkathons and protests demanding justice
for Dalits. He
reminded how much difficult it was during those days to create
an awareness and he cited one incident during the late Chief Minister
M.G. Ramachandran's period who introduced a scheme and provided
‘free chappals' to poor and how many Dalits in the rural
villages got those chappals but were never able wear them.
However,
after many protests in a lot of villages the Dalits finally were
able to wear chappals provided by the State. Earlier in the event,
he released a book titled ‘Poarali Enum Adhikaaram'
which talks about arguments and debates on Uthapuram Wall Issue
from a Dalit perspective.
One
of the essayists, Stalin Rajangam in his speech talked about the
dearth of substantial works in Tamil on Poona Pact and stated
that Dalits of Madras Presidency were actively involved during
the colonial period (prior to Round Table Conference) by making
major interventions through sending telegrams and letters to the
British Government on the status of the depressed classes in the
country demanding adequate representation.
The
first major work on Poona Pact was published by Ambedkar Study
Circle in Chennai in the year 1965; the book was authored by Anbu
Ponoviyam and in the early 90's Dalit writer Ravikumar came out
with a work highlighting the need for separate electorates. J.Balasubramanian
of Dalit Intellectual Circle said that Poona Pact remains as an
important event in the history of Dalit movements as it was the
first major event where Gandhi's status as leader of the masses
and Mahatma came into question.
Jaganathan
said that the Dalit parties have become non-functional, many Dalits
were murdered recently in the southern districts and Dalit officials
targeted but no major Dalit party organised protests or condemned.
The Second Round Table Conference in 1931 saw Dr. Ambedkar emphasising
the need for political power and Gandhi insisting upon protective
measures as it would divide the Hindus.
The
conference ended with the then British Prime Minister Ramsey McDonald
announcing the Communal Award on 17th August 1932. The depressed
classes were granted separate seats in the Provincial Assemblies
and the right of double vote under which they were to elect their
own representatives and to vote also in the general constituencies.
This arrangement was to be for 20 years. However, on September
20, 1932, Gandhi undertook a fast unto death in protest.
Poona
Pact: The Poona Pact was signed by Pandit Madan Mohan
Malaviya, the principal signatory on behalf of the caste-Hindus
and Ambedkar on behalf of the depressed classes on 24 September
1932.

ROW
OVER 'UNTOUCHABLE INDIAN DOG'
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-11403486
|
Police
in India are investigating claims that a Dalit woman has been
ordered to pay compensation to the high-caste owners of a dog
she fed. The woman says the village council wants her to pay
a fine of 15,000 rupees ($330) for feeding the dog, which the
owners have now kicked out. They are reported to have said the
dog is "untouchable", but deny being motivated by
caste considerations. Although widespread, discrimination against
Dalits is an offence in India. Dalits, who make up nearly 20%
of the Indian population, say little has changed despite the
government enacting various laws banning caste-based discrimination.
'He
got very angry' The incident took place in Malikpur village
in Morena district in central Madhya Pradesh state. "I made
some roti [Indian bread] and took it to my husband who works in
a farm. After I had fed him, we had some leftovers which I gave
to the dog," the Dalit woman, Sunita Jatav, said. She said
the owner of the dog, Amrutlal Kirari, saw her feeding him. "He
got very angry and said 'You've fed my dog, it has become an untouchable
now'." Mrs Jatav said Mr Kirari left the dog, a black mongrel
called Sheru, tied to a pole outside her house. On Monday, the
village council met and decided that Sheru had been defiled and
hence Mr Kirari should be paid 15,000 rupees as compensation,
Mrs Jatav alleged. On Tuesday, she approached the district collector
of Morena who ordered an inquiry into the incident.
Senior police officer in the area, Baldev Singh, told the BBC
that he was investigating the matter. He said Mr Kirari had alleged
that after eating the bread, Sheru fell ill. Mr Kirari said he
abandoned the dog at Mrs Jatav's house so she could look after
it and nurse it back to health, Mr Singh added. Dalits - formerly
untouchables - are considered at the bottom of the Hindu caste
system. Any discrimination against them is an offence and punishable
by law.

DALIT
WOMAN, SON HUMILIATED ON PANCHYAT'S DIKTAT

Bulandshahr:
On a panchyat's diktat, a dalit woman and her son were allegedly
made to sit on a buffalo with their faces blackened and were paraded
around a village here for "helping" a woman to elope,
police said on Friday. The panchayat of Jaat-dominated Shujapur
village in Shikarpur police station, had blamed Chandrawati (50)
and her 18-year-old son Devendra after a married woman eloped
with a man from the same village, Senior Superintendent of Police
Amitabh Yash said.
It
ordered the villagers to parade the duo after blackening their
face last evening, the SSP said. A 25-year-old married woman,
Shama, who was from the Jat community, had eloped sometime back.
However, after a few days she came back and told the villagers
that Chandrawati had helped her. Following the allegations, the
village panchayat summoned Chandarwati and Devendra. The SSP said
23 people have been named in the case and seven of them, including
Shama, had been arrested. PTI

CONTROVERSY
OF MK GANDHI’S STATUE
AT CALIFORNIA STATE CAPITOL
Arvin
Valmuci
|
Tensions ran high between upper-caste
Hindus and Indian minorities at an April 24 planning
meeting for installing a life-size statue of Gandhi
on the grounds of the CA state capitol building. Approximately
30 Indo-Americans attended the event at the Evergreen
Avenue Holiday Inn in West Sacramento. The group was
a mixture of mostly Hindus with perhaps five Sikhs
and one white American gentleman. Sham
Goyal, a plant scientist from UC Davis, ran the meeting.
The plan he described involves requesting that the
four state senators and eight assembly members who
represent the greater Sacramento region sponsor a
bill to allow the statue. Although many in the group
loudly cheered the idea, one
|
|
Sikh gentleman
named Bhajan Singh Bhinder offered strong disapproval. During
the question and answer time, Bhinder stated: “When I
think about Gandhi, I’m reminded only of partition and
bloodshed.” He explained that Indian minority leaders
like Ambedkar and Mayawati condemn Gandhi for working to keep
them in poverty. He even inspired constitutional provisions
which force many minorities, like Sikhs and Buddhists, into
second-class citizenship.
When Goyal asked whose statue could possibly replace Gandhi,
Bhinder suggested Dr. Ambedkar or Bhagat Singh. Goyal taunted:
“Who knows Ambedkar?” Bhinder responded: “Nobody
knows him because you won’t put up his statue.”
Another group leader named Mr. Janak, retorted: “Bhagat
Singh was a terrorist!”
Bhinder then read a news article about how Mayawati
criticized Gandhi, saying: “Indian society into two categories
- the weaker sections and upper castes.” Goyal responded
by calling Mayawati a “Harijan,” stating: “If
she is not grateful to Gandhi, then India would be better off
if she was dead.” He claimed that Gandhi was devoted to
making all Indians equal and brought prosperity to the lower casts.
Goyal and others leading the meeting then insisted Bhinder keep
quiet, but James Featherington, the American gentleman,
spoke: “I’ve never heard these things before. In the
interest of objectivity, I’d like to hear what Mr. Bhinder
has to say.”
Bhinder went on to mention Gandhi’s racist
actions while living in South Africa. For instance, he supported
racial segregation in Durban, South Africa. The local post office
had two doors - one for whites and the other for all other races,
including blacks and Indians. Gandhi was offended by having to
share a door with blacks, so he successfully demanded a third
door be installed for Indian use only. That is why in 2008 the
young black South African journalist Sentletse Diakanyo wrote
about Gandhi: “To continue to honour and celebrate this
man is to insult humanity!”
Mr. Charan Singh Judge President of Gadhar Memorial
Foundation advised not to fight over the issue of Gandhi, Bhagat
Singh and Dr. Ambedkar.

| Dear
Readers
In a planning meeting for installation of a life-size statute
of Gandhi on the CA state Capitol building held at Evergreen
Avenue Holiday Inn in West Sacramento on April 24, 2010,
Dr. Sham Goyal, a plant scientist from UC Davis, while reacting
to a comment and subsequently a suggestion made by Mr. Bhajan
Singh Bhinder referrering to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar tauntingly
said "who knows Ambedkar?" Such a blatant ignorance
on the part of a scientist, in fact, speaks not only volumes
of apathy towards the Socio-cultural and ideological diversity
of the Indian freedom struggle but also its contemporary
ground reality. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar is a house-hold name for
millions of downtrodden and socially excluded sections of
the Indian society who have finally learnt to say a firm
no to their upper castes tormentors.
He was the main brain behind the drafting of the constitution
of Independent India and an illustrous leader of the poor
and a stateman who stood like a rock for his people in a
most democratic and peaceful way, the like of which India
after him is yet to whitness. He played a critical role
in graphically projecting the varied dimensions of the Hindu
and colonial Indian society. He was not only fighing for
the liberation from the imperial rule but also from centuries-old
Brahminical hegemony. An accomplished scholar who studied
in the best universities of US and UK, a prolific writer,
a great parlimentarian, an ardent lover of liberalism, democracy,
peace and universalism, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar deliberaletly
chose the path of a conscientious mass activist who in the
last days of his struggle-filled life embraced Buddhism
for annihilating the demonic system of birth-based graded
social stratification in India.

Dear
Mr. Chumber,
I
was very glad to see the news item above. Thank you very
much for bringing it to light. Do you know of any other
news report (local or international) that published it?
I guess not. If my hunch is right, I guess no one would
have heard of it if you had not written about it. I guess.
You did great! Keep the Ambedkarite flag flying out there
on the West-coast! I took a look at your website. It is
great. I would like to go through most of it.

Dear
Editor,
Thanks
for posting and sharing the subject news pertaining
to install a Gandhi's statue on the grounds of the
California Capitol building by few so called upper
caste Hindus. I strongly condemn the inappropriate
remark by Mr. Goyal, a plant scientist of UC Davis
California, about Dr. Ambedkar and Shaheed-e-Azam
Bhagat Singh. It is a matter of shame on him, being
an educated Indian, for not acquainting himself
and making others aware in his immediate intellectual
environment about these great sons of India. The
whole world knows that Dr. Ambedkar was a champion
of Human Rights who dedicated his entire life for
disadvantaged and downtrodden Indians, including
people from Mr. Goyal's clan. Not like Gandhi and
Nehru, being puppets of British empire, to maintain
their own hierarchy and family dynasty even after
the independence of India.
Mr.
Goyal's racial and taunting remark confirmed my
belief and proved Dr. Ambedkar right that a Hindu
carries his or her caste everywhere they travel
and cannot live without revival of Caste-ism for
their own survival. His indecent remarks also reflects
on the ideology he possess, kind of educational
background and association with age-old doctrine
of Indian Caste System as well. An educated man
without humility and respect for others is worse
than a beast, as Ambedkar had said. His racial remarks
and lack of respect for Mayawati are equally obnoxious
and sounds no good on the part of an educated scholar.
Can Mr. Goyal narrate his reaction if similar racial
and taunting remarks are made against him or his
caste and clan by a Dalit or any other person? He
can predict very well the outcomes of such inappropriate
remarks.
Thank
you.

Dear
brother,
Thanks
about highlighting the news about Gandhi’s statue.
It is the duty of all American Dalits to bring in
notice the contribution of Dr. Ambedkar to the American
people especially the authorities who are responsible
for installing statues. It is time to expose Gandhi’s
racist misdeeds and break the myth that Gandhi worked
for untouchables. Please give memorandum to the various
departments to install Ambedkar’s statue.
Regards,

Memorandum Presented to the Government of Austria
(Via the Consul General of India, Vancouver)
Re: Assassination of Sant Rama Nand Ji and Attempted Assassination of Sant Niranjan Dass Ji on May 24, 2009 in Vienna, Austria. |
The news of the assassination of Sant Rama Nand Ji and the attempted assassination of Sant Niranjan Dass on May 24 in Vienna, Austria, has left a shock wave among peace keepers globally. The attack on these preachers not only raises questions about the safety and security of all citizens but also is seen as an attack on the democracy – the principle values of liberty, fraternity, and brotherhood.
Sant Rama Nand Ji, renowned and respected preacher represented India’s more than ¼ of the population and he has a significant following outside of India. Sant Rama Nand Ji left a legacy in Canada and his messages of peace, universal brotherhood, and right to self-respect will be cherished by the present and the future generations.
Sant Rama Nand Ji believed strongly in self determination and he taught during his visits to Canada that we all have the right to worship the supreme power. Because of their wisdom, we regard Sant Rama Nand Ji and Sant Niranjan Dass Ji as our respected elders and we take pride in bowing before them and other respected elders or masters who teach the importance of peace and universal brotherhood. For the civilization to grow it is important that the fundamental principles of equality, liberty, fraternity be preserved; and, any differences in opinions be resolved through meaningful dialogues and discussions- not by violence.
From all reported news, it appears that both the Government of India and the Government of Austria have cooperated to the investigation in Austria. We appreciate this effort and encourage both governments to continue to collaborate so the offenders are tried in the courts of law and justice is granted in a timely manner.
Furthermore, we the undersigned representatives of Canadian organizations, further request the Government of Austria to:
- Conduct the investigation in a timely manner and ensure the offenders are duly arrested, tried, and if possible, extradited to India;
- Provide security and protection to Ravidassia organizations in Vienna so that there are no further incidents of such heinous violence or attacks on the humanity.
- Denounce practice or promotion of violence on grounds of religious beliefs.
- Take any other measures that preserve and promote peace among all.
Submitted respectfully to the Consul General of India (Vancouver) on the _____day of July 2009.

| SANT RAMA NAND JI WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED |
The stunning news of an unprovoked and armed assault on the lives of 108 Sant Niranjan Dass Ji, head of Dera Sachkhand Ballan, and his second in command, Sant Rama Nand Ji, sent waves of shock, distress and resentment among millions of followers of Shri Guru Ravidass Ji and Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji all over the world. The assault occurred while they were attending religious services on Sunday, May 24 th 2009 at Shri Guru Ravidass Gurudwara in Vienna, Austria and resulted in the death of 57 year old Sant Ramanand Ji, seriously wounded 68 year old Sant Niranjan Dass Ji and many other members of the congregation.
At a special prayer meeting held May 25, 2009 in Sacramento, the representatives of the following California Sabhas unanimously resolved to strongly condemn this gruesome crime and murderous attack on the lives of these globally known spiritual leaders. They dedicated their entire life for spreading the noble teachings of our Gurus as enshrined in the holy pages of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.
1. Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha Pittsburg. 2. Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha Sacramento. 3. Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha Bay Area 4. Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha Fresno. 5 Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha Yuba City. 6. Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha Selma.
Very generous commitments for financial help were also made on behalf of the above organizations to provide every possible help and relief to the families of the wounded members of the temple in Vienna.
Other organizations associated with the Dalit community in the USA also condemn this extreme act of violence.
1. International Organization Dr. Ambedkar, USA, 2. Bhagwan Balmik Sabha, Yuba City., 3. International Bahujan Samaj Party California, 4 Ambedkar Times, & 5 . International BAMCEF, California .
This despicable and dastardly act on the part of these perpetrators, under the guise of baptized Sikhs, cannot be an isolated act of a small group but a result of a planned and deeply rooted conspiracy of Sikh extremists. The crime they committed making very prominent spiritual leaders and innocent lives the target of their hatred and fanaticism go against the very basic philosophy and vision of Guru Granth Sahib and all norms of a civilized society.
We forcefully and vehemently resolve, urge and demand that the perpetrators be prosecuted and brought to justice to the fullest extent of the law. We also urge that a high powered commission of enquiry be appointed by the Government of India, in cooperation with appropriate authorities in Austria, to find the terrorist sources responsible for the planning and execution of this brutal and savage act at the Gurudwara in Vienna, Austria. We also seek help and all possible protections from the US Government for the safety of all temples run under the name of Shri Guru Ravidass Ji to avoid any similar occurrences in the future.
The death of Sant Rama Nand Ji, who was a revered house-hold name all over the world, is a terrible blow and an irreplaceable loss to the entire community. History will remember him with respect and dignity as a martyr for his sustained and selfless efforts as a religious leader who sacrificed his life for the noble cause of disseminating the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib Ji all over the world. The dedicated services rendered by Dera Sachkhand Ballan with the pivotal role played by Sant Ramanand Ji in the construction, establishment and running of a magnificent shrine at the birth place of Guru Ravidass Ji at Kashi ( Varanasi) can never be forgotten. He will be deeply missed for his contributions to society.
We offer our heartfelt condolences to the worship center at Dera Sachkhand Ballan and the millions of followers of Sahib Shri Guru Ravidass Ji all over the world for this irreparable loss to the entire community. We pray to Almighty God for peace and tranquility of the departed soul. We also wish and pray for full recovery and good health of Sant Niranjan Dass Ji and otherinnocent members of the community wounded in this brutal act.
Sincerely,
Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha- Pittsburg, Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha - Sacramento, Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha-Bay Area, Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha - Fresno, Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha - Yuba City, Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha - Selma

Press Release
Southall- The followers of Bharat Ratana Dr. Baba Sahib Ambedkar, Bhagwan Valmik Ji, Sri Guru Ravidass Ji, Buddhist organisations of UK and supporters of British Wing of Bahujan Samaj Party, met at Southall Dr. Ambedkar Centre, on Sunday, 31 May 2009 . The meeting started with two minutes salience as a matter of respect to late Sant Rama Nand Ji. Chief guest Mrs. Kamlesh Ahir of Vancouver , Canada expressed her grief on the murder of Sant Rama Nand Ji and grievously wounding of Sant Niranjan Dass and others. She said that the attack is not just on saints of one Dera but it is a challenge to the whole Dalit movement which is struggling to live the life with dignity. The saints of Dera Sach Khand have provided a glimpse of hope and identity to the community in Punjab which has become an eye sore to the so called upper caste. She stated in clear terms that time has come to replace Sri Guru Granth Saheb with other book, picture or even an idol of Sri Guru Ravidass Ji in the Guru Ravidass Temples where they are able to make their own code of conduct (Maryada). She asked the people how long we will continue to imitate and preach Sikhism on our own expenses and live under the shadow of Sikhism? If we are not careful now, we will have similar attacks.
Mr. Raj Kumar from Toronto , Canada stressed that in free and democratic society, everyone has right to adapt and practice the religion of one’s choice. The attack on these saints who are an embodiment of love and peace is an attack on democracy and violation of basic human rights. Mr. Amar Daroch from Bedford suggested that all Dalits must observe 24 th May as Martyrdom Day as a mark of respect not only to Sri 108 Sant Rama Nand Ji of Dera Sach Khand, Ballan but also the martyrs in the Dalit struggle. Mr. Satpal Muman from Caste Watch UK requested people to write to their MPs to include caste into the Single Equality Bill which is being discussed in the parliament.
Mr. Deesh Gera, Gurpreet Bansi, M.S.Bahal, Gurpal Gill, Sinna mani, former Mayor, gautam Chakravarti, Gurdial Banger and others also expressed their views.
In the meeting, the following resolution was passed.
We wholeheartedly condemn the murder of Sri 108 Sant Rama Nand Ji, critically injuring Sri 108 Sant Niranjan Dass Ji and other followers of Dera Sach Khand, Ballan (Jalandhar) on 24 May 2009 at Vienna in Austria ( Europe ). This cowardly terrorist attack on innocent people in a religious place was unprovoked and without any warning. It was a direct attack on democracy and peoples’ inalienable right to worship.
This incident of terror attack in a foreign land erupted in frayed emotions all over the world and particularly in Panjab which culminated in widespread anguish and resentment in the minds of the followers of Dera Sach Khand, Ballan, resulting in extensive destruction of property and loss of life. We urge the Panjab and Central Governments to release all those arrested unconditionally, compensate suitably those who suffered loss of life and property and provide free medical aid to the injured.

www.ambedkartimes.com is deeply shocked to hear that the great preacher, Sant Rama Nand Ji of Dera Sant Sarwan Dass SachKhand Ballan (Jalandhar, Punjab , India ) is no more. Sant Niranjan Dass Ji (Head of the Dera Sant Sarwan Dass SachKhand Ballan, Jalandhar, Punjab, India) and Sant Rama Nand Ji (Assistant of Sant Niranjan Dass Ji) were attacked with knives and guns by some disgruntled elements at Shri Guru Ravidass Temple in Vienna ( Austria ) on May 24th, 2009 where Sant Rama Nand Ji succumed to his injuries in the hospital in Vienna and Sant Naranjan Dass Ji is now recuperating finely over there (see photographs taken in the hospital showing him in better conditions).
The Ambedkartimes strongly condemn this dastardly act and appeals to the followers of the Dera Sachkand Ballan and to public in general in Punjab in other regions of India as well as abroad to maintain peace, harmony and goodwill. This is in the true spirit of the celestial bani of Shri Guru Ravidass Ji Maharaj.
The Ambedkartimes pays tribute to Sant Rama Nand Ji and prays for Sant Niranjan Dass Ji’s speedy recovery.

An Appeal for Unity and Harmony
The tragic incident of Vienna on 5-24-09 shook and shocked the entire Sikh world. Death and large scale destruction followed in the Punjab, the holy land of the Gurus .Institute for Conflict and Peace studies appeals to the Sikh world and followers of Dera Sach Khand to work together and solve the tangled web of strained relations We also humbly urge all Sikh organizations and traditions to strive with utmost seriousness to maintain peace and harmony and find ways and means to restore peace, goodwill and harmony, with patience, equanimity, tolerance and above all with courage and fortitude.
No justification can be found in the annals of the Sikh history or traditions in general and the glorious Khalsa traditions in particular for such an act of hatred and intolerance. Not only has this tragedy widened the gulf between the mainstream Sikhs and the Rangretas but also has added to the problems of the Sikh organizations that are fighting an international battle for the distinct Sikh identity and their right to wear turbans and Kirpans. Sikh history is replete with glorious deeds performed and Chardikala displayed in the battlefields by the Rangretas. They alone have been bestowed with the honorable title of –Rangreta guru ka beta.
Philosophical differences are natural, but to try to impose solutions by use of force without having exhausted all other peaceful means has neither moral nor ethical justification in the glorious traditions of Sikhism. It has been an age old tradition of Sikhism to solve differences through mutual discussion and dialogue; respect and tolerance. Guru Nanak’s dialogue with the yogis is a testimony to the fact that Sikhism starts with dialogue and discussion and in the end finds the right solution through mutual discussion and respect. A true Sikh always tries to win hearts and minds of the opponents through love and goodwill. As per Sikh traditions all such differences can be resolved under the supreme spiritual authority of Siri Akal Takhat Sahib only. No one organization or a tradition has an authority or a mandate to impose resolutions upon others through violence or vicious misuse of power.
We humbly but passionately urge all Sikh traditions and organizations to maintain peace and harmony and do their utmost to find ways and means to extricate ourselves from the deadly clutches of hatred and intolerance and also urge an inquiry to find out the cause and the culprits responsible for the tragedy and consequent loss of innocent lives and property. If we do not act now it might be too late and death and destruction that has taken place may return with a vengeance.

American Sikh Leaders Condemn Violence in Vienna
Sikh leaders and Diaspora across world have condemned the violence in Vienna and in Punjab . |
Talking from San Francisco , Dr. Pritpal Singh, the convener of the American Gurudwara Parbandhak Committee (AGPC), said: “Violence has never been a solution of any problem. If there are any differences, they should be solved through dialogue.” He said Sikhs were having strong relationship with the “Dalit Samaj” and this brotherhood should continue. He appealed to the Government of Punjab to take appropriate measures to restore peace in the state.
After 9/11 in US, Sikhs living in US and other parts of the world were mistakenly identified with Arabs due to similarity in appearance. Sikhs leaders opine that such acts of violence give a jolt to the peaceful Sikh community worldwide.
Ranjit Singh Masuta, a Sikh leader in Switzerland, said the Government of Punjab should strongly take action against those who have disrupted public life over the last few days.
“We already have been victimizing for mistaken identity of the Sikhs. Such incidents could further damaged the image of the Sikhs living outside India ,” a worried Masuta said. Rajwant Singh, the Chairman of the Sikh Council on Religion and Education (SCORE), in Washington DC , said: “We condemn the violence which took place in Vienna , Austria . He said it need to be categorically condemned by all Sikhs without going into the merits of the issue. No issue requires taking law into your own hand no matter what the provocation is. We are saddened by this terrible tragedy. We appeal everyone to maintain peace and calm at all cost.”armjit Singh Sarna, the President of the Delhi Sikh Management Committee (DSGMC), said there are many other ways to tackle the problems besides violence.
He said that those who follow Sikhism should also know the Sikh code of conduct as evolved by the Akal Takht Sahib, the high temporal seat of the Sikhs. He appeals to the people of Punjab to maintain the peace that has comes after long time.
Alleging that the Government of Punjab has failed to restore peace in Punjab , he said a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry should be conducted against the Punjab Government..xpressing concern over the present Sikh issue, Ragubir Singh, a Sikh leader from France said that such incidents undoubtedly cause a major setback to Sikh interests at the international level.
He said that we already have been working hard day and night to convey the European Government about the peace loving Sikh community. He said that we must keep larger interest of the community when we confront with various differences within the community.t is pertinent to mention that in France and in other European countries Sikhs have been facing problem like wearing Turban and their other religious symbols.
Meanwhile, the Jathedar Akal Takht, Gyani Gurbachan Singh, has expressed sympathy and solidarity with the victims of Vienna incident and urged their followers in Punjab to maintain peace and tranquility.

May 24, 2009 Press Release For Immediate Release Subject:
Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha (Vancouver) plans a candle light vigil for Monday, May 25 at 7 PM |
Burnaby : The tragic news of assassination of an Indian preacher visiting Vienna has shocked the Indo-Canadian communities of Canada .
The preacher, Sant Rama Nand Ji of Dera Sach Khand Ballan near Jalandhar, Punjab , India , was invited along with Sant Niranjan Dass Ji to grace the celebration of Shri Guru Ravidass Ji, a mystic saint of the 14 th century India who fought for equality, liberty and justice – the same principles propagated by these preachers. While Sant Rama Nand Ji did not survive the shooting, Sant Niranjan Dass Ji is in critical condition.
“The shooting on preachers is an act of terrorism and is an attack on democracy and on people’s right to worship and pay respect to their elders”, said Michael Ghirra, president of Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha ( Vancouver ). “We denounce this act wholeheartedly”, continued Ghirra.
The sentiments were echoed by Surinder Ranga, president of Chetna Association of Canada.
“Violence never gives healthy solution”, said Ranga.
Members of Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha hold high regards for these saints and have invited them to the opening ceremony of the Burnaby ’s community centre in 2000 as well as to the community parades held last year and earlier this year.
“The saints have been a great inspiration to us and to our community”, said Virinder Bangar of Delta. Bangar is convener of a trust affiliated to these preachers.
“We are also thankful to these for not only giving us the spiritual guidance and teaching us the value of self-respect, but also for opening schools and hospitals for the poor in India”, continued Bangar.
To pay homage to Sant Rama Nand Ji and to pay prayers for the recovery of Sant Niranjan Dass Ji, the Shri Guru Ravidass Sabha ( Vancouver ) has planned for vigil at Shri Guru Ravidass Community Centre, 7271 Gilley Avenue in Burnaby . The vigil will be on Monday, May 25 at 8:30 PM .
For information, call Micheal Ghirra at 64-715-7039 or Virinder Bangar at 604-999-2300. |

TO-DAY`S INDIAN HIGHLIGHTS
Thursday, April 16, 2009 5:29 AM Email: <c.l.chumber@gmail.com>
IF WE ARE NOT JUDICIOUS MINDED, WE WILL NOT BE RULERS. IF WE ARE NOT JUDICIOUS MINDED, WE WILL BE THROWN AWAY FROM THE RULING CLASS FOR EVER! SO, BE JUDICIOUS MINDED TO FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICE AND ANNIHILATE THE INJUSTICE:
|
|
*Mr. Advani is the slave of the RSS. – Mrs. Sonia Gandhi.
Our comments: Mrs. Sonia Gandhi president of her pocket/ family congress party said,” it is Advani who is slave of RSS because he wants to project his chair. This is the reason why he panders to each and every wish of RSS!” The RSS and its off shoots including BJP are anti constitution organizations .these organizations highlight, worship and defend the casteist Brahma, Vishnu and their incarnations .there is a clause that a religious party can not be a political party .in the recent manifesto BJP promised to build a big ram temple at the demolished Baburi Mosque .the election commission of India must ban the BJP at once .Ram and Babur were both kings .both established the foreigners` rule in India! Babur was a better king than king Ram.
The congress` Rastrapita Mr. Gandhi was an admirer of Ram and his Ram Rajya based on the Manu simiriti! he did not recognize the dalits equal to the Aryan hindus that is why his congress party compelled Baba Saheb Dr. Ambedkar to write reservation for hindu SCs only in the constitution .when Dr. Ambedkar and Rao Bahadur Srinivasin Dalit representatives in the round table conferences, London ( 1930-1932 ad ) succeeded in recognizing the dalits as a separate element from the hindus in the communal award declared by the government , manuwadi Gandhi took fast unto death against the dalits .this resulted in the Gandhi-Ambedkar pact ( Poona pact ) and Raja-Moonje pact .Mr. M.C. Raja was then the Dalit leader of Tamil Nadu and Dr. B.S. Moonje was the president of the hindu Maha Sabha .the government recognized the Ambedkar - Gandhi pact which is known as the Poona pact due to its signing at Poona .
now we come to conclusion that the BJP is the offshoot of the RSS but both RSS and congress are the offshoots of the manuwadi Hinduism .the BJP and congress ruled states do not implemented the Mandal commission report, not cleared the backlog of SCs and STs in jobs and both denationalized the nationalized organizations .both the parties amended the constitution so many times but not implemented for the welfare of SCs, STs, OBCs and religious minorities! Both are two sides of the same manuwadi coin!!!!! We must vote for non-BJP and non-congress parties struggling for the egalitarian society! Ham Hongey Kaamyaab Ek Din!!!!!
*CONGRESS DID NOT DO JUSTICE TO AMBEDKAR! - MR. ADVANI.
Our comments : Mr. L.K. Advani of BJP alleged that the congress did not done justice to Dr. Ambedkar .he blamed that Mr. Nehru ignored him by not nominating to the constituent assembly .the congress refuted Mr. Advani .
Mr. Advani`s party favors congress stalwart Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel as an iron man. the same Mr. Patel opposed Dr. Ambedkar’s entry in the constituent assembly .but Baba Mangu Ram Muggowalia of Punjab and dr. Joginder Nath Mandal of Bengal managed to elect Dr. Ambedkar from Khulna seat now in Bangla Desh .Dr. Ambedkar had to resign that seat due to its area `s allocation to the then east Pakistan .then a congress leader dr. M.R. Jayakar resigned from his Poona seat and Dr. Ambedkar was got re-elected to the constituent assembly.
It was the ruling congress party which nominated Dr. Ambedkar as the chairman, the constituent assembly and first ever law minister of independent India. At the same time another Dalit leader of Bengal Dr. Joginder Nath Mandal was nominated the first ever law minister of Pakistan!!!!!
But Dr. Ambedkar was not independent to draft the constitution as the Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs are recodes as Hindus!!!!! he was not succeeded in passing the hindu code bill due to the opposition of the RSS and passiveness of Mr. Nehru which resulted in Baba sahib’s resignation from the cabinet !!!!!
This was the political situation. Baba Saheb was fed up with the manuwadi society and embraced the Buddhism to counter the Brahminism .He asked his followers on 14th October, 1956 to discard the Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh, Gauri and Ganpati / Ganesh!!!!! but Mr. Advani`s BJP promised to build a big Ram temple. king Ram was the same person who killed a pious and innocent Shudra saint Shambuk .He also banished his wife Sita .Mr. Advani and his RSS and its offshoots are worshiping the rapists , racists and fascists as gods .over all the manuwadi hindu society still not doing justice to the dalits .
Mr. Advani as a home minister of India was responsible for the abduction of Saheb Kanshi Ram Ji which resulted in his death. If the government agencies do the brain mapping of m/s Vajpayee , Advani , M.M. Joshi , Mayawati and Satish Mishra , the conspiracy of killing Saheb Kanshi Ram a biggest ever democrat of the world will be surfaced automatically .
*Mr. Ram Vilas Pasvan, president, the Lok Jan Shakti party released his party’s election manifesto for the Lok Sabha election 2009 ad in which he promised to ban the RSS and it’s off shoots!!!!!
Our comments: Mr. Pasvan played an historical role in implementing the Mandal commission report in jobs for OBCs under the prime ministership of revered late Mr. V.P. Singh pm of India!!!!! The cunning Brahmins used the OBCs against the sc reservation but the intelligent sc leadership twisted the game and won to march for the establishment of egalitarian society!!!!!
In Punjab, the Doordarshan, Jalandhar played a foul game when it telecasted the news that the government enhanced 25% reservation (in Punjab 25% reservation for SCs) to 27 % .this news confused the Punjabis about the Mandal commission report and the obcs participated in the anti-Mandal movement! Being a vigilant citizen, i released the list of 84 OBCs of Punjab state which would be benefited .this list published on the front pages and the sc organisations published hand bills also.
My one Brahmin friend asked me that why the dalits are leading the pro Mandal commission report movement. i replied ,” we dalits are humanists and constitutional people and wish to implement the equality , liberty , fraternity and justice ! ”
the OBCs are backbone of the Manuwad .that is why they are not fighting against the manuwad religiously and socially!!!!! If they do not mend their ways, they will be really backward in the enlightened world!!!!!
We appreciate Mr. Pasvan and his party for their stand on RSS and hope that one day a party will declare in its manifesto to ban on the Hinduism of the rapist, racist and fascist gods!!!!!
*Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav will ban on English and Computer education!
OUR COMMENTS: MR. Mulayam Singh Yadav released his Samajwadi Party’s election manifesto for the Lok Sabha election 2009 AD. I dislike his two points: first to ban on the English language and second to ban on the computer education.
Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav is a former wrestler .The wrestler’s use their muscle power .That is why Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav did not re-thinked on the advice of their advisers. He must realize the power of the English language and the computer education!!!!!
When I got my younger daughter’s admission in the B.Sc. (Hons) Software Engineering in the Westminster University, London (U. K.) campus at Gurgaon ( India), Sahib Kanshi Ram was very much astonished and happy. He was so much happy and also realized that he was illiterate in the modern education world .In 2000 AD , a computer student of east Asian country opened the official files of the US Army .I told about this to Saheb Kanshi Ram Ji .When we met him in the Batra Hospital , Delhi in the first week of June , 2004 , we informed him that our elder daughter also got admission in the MBA ( Marketing ) of the Wales University , U.K. and both passed with distinctions .He was also happy to know that our elder son got admission in the four year Bachelor in Multimedia ( Electronic Media , Print Media , Animation ) based on computer education .He is now Animator .
Now the professional degrees are for the English and computer learned students .But Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav is going to ban these both. Why? His advisers are not visionaries. A person without a vision is just like a blind, duff and dumb! A person without a vision is a walking dead body! If the peasantry class of India has some vision, they must had been the rulers in legislature, executive, judiciary and media!!!!! They have money in kind of land but no vision how to invest it in proper way .If we blend the peasantry and agriculturer labourers the result may be again like BSP-SP alliance in U.P.in 1993 AD.
Now Mr. Mulayam Singh Yadav `s Uttarakhand state unit promises 10 % quota in elite English medium schools.
*Mr. Manmohan Singh outgoing PM of India and Mr. L.K. Advani former home minister blamed each other for their weaknesses!
OUR COMMENTS: MR. MANMOHAN SINGH IS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE GLOBAL CAPITALISTS AND MR. L.K. ADVANI IS THE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE INDIAN CAPITALISTS AS WELL AS BRAHMINISM!!!!!
Mr. Manmohan Singh outgoing PM of India and BJP`s prime ministerial candidate are blaming each others .They both are true in their blames .Both are weak and merely representatives of the Brahminism and the capitalists!!!!!
The Congress and BJP are in alliance in the Sikkim state and contesting Sikkim Assembly election .This Lok Sabha election will expose both of them!!!!! If the third front and the Paswan-Lalu-Mulayam alliance join to form the union government, the BJP and Congress secret alliance will be surfaced!!!!!

*Capt. Kanwaljit Singh , Co-operative Minister , Punjab died in a road accident near Kharar / Chandigarh and breathed his last at PGI Hospital , Chandigarh .
*Er Gurvinderjit Singh Bitta Laachowal , National Vice President of the Youth Akali Dal ( Badal )and his 3 others family members died in a road accident near village Bahowal , Mahilpur district Hoshiarpur.
*The U.P. Govt. invoked NSA and attempt to murder against Mr. Varun Gandhi of BJP .
*S. Inderjit Singh Zira, former Health Minister in SAD (Badal ) govt., S. Ranjit Singh Chhajjalwaddi ex MLA, SAD (Badal) and S. Rajanbir Singh s/o S. Balwant Singh former Finance Minister joined the Congress Party at Patiala.
OUR COMMENTS: This is Ayya Ram, Gayya Ram but not for any policies .Mr. Chhajjalwaddi and Mr. Sardul Singh Bundala were new in politics in 1976 when I was Tehsil Welfare Officer at Amritsar. Mr. Chhajjalwaddi is the son of S. Tara Singh Layalpuri MLA`s sister and S. Sardul Singh was newly married to the daughter of S. Gurmej Singh minister. Both belong to Mazabhi Sikh community. S. Sardul Singh was a cabinet minister in Beant Singh cabinet and corruption charges were made on him. His son’s selection in police was very controversial but now he succeeded in getting employment for his son by getting Lok Sabha ticket from Faridkot (R).
S. Chhajjalwaddi elected MLA and presented a car in a SAD (Badal) rally to Dr. Ambedkar’s second wife. Mr. Zira is very enrgetic, influential and pro-Tohra in Akali politics. Interestingly Mr. Zira and Mr. Chhajjalwaddi belong to the newly carved Khadoor Saheb parliamentary constituency which will benefit the Congress candidate Rana Gurjit Singh sitting MP. Third, Mr. Rajanbir Singh contested election from Lohian Khas assemble seat but in vain. He belongs to Kamboj community which will effect on the Kamboj voters of Lohian (Jalandhar Lok Sabha) and Sultanpur Lodhi and Kapurthala assembly areas (under Khadoor Saheb Lok Sabha). Mr. Amrinder Singh was also congressman defected to Akali Dal on Blue Star issue and then returns back to congress. This is Ayya Ram, Gayya Ram but not for any policies.
*THE CBI FILES FINAL REPORT IN 1984 RIOT CASE AGAINST MR. JAGDISH TYTLER.
* Mr. Varun Gandhi surrendered in the court and Mr. Advani came out in support of Mr. Varun Gandhi.
OUR COMMENT: A violent person has no place in the democracy! The Parliament is meant for the constitutional elected persons, not for Mr. Varun like communal terrorists! If Mr. Advani will applaud Mr. Varun like children, he may invite the death of the Hindu fundamentalist BJP! We already said that the non-BJP and non-Congress political parties must unite to save the democracy; otherwise they are deceiving their voters and supporters! The BJP like parties must be banned to save the constituion!
*S. Surjit Singh Barnala has been selected for the Mother Teresa Lifetime Achievement Award 2009 for his contribution in the field of social work and administration.
*Mr. Anbumani Ramdoss, Health Minister of India and Mr. R. Velu, Minister of state for Railways resigned after their party PMK walked out on the Congress-led UPA. PMK and AIADMK alliance in Tamilnadu and PMK will contest on 7 Lok Sabha seats in Tamilnadu.

*All I can discover (in the record of Advani) is the prominent role he played in the razing of the Babri mosque.- Manmohan Singh, PM, India
OUR COMMENTS: The Babri mosque was razed in the day light and the Congress Prime Minister PV Narsimha Rao was watching it on TV! If BJP razed the Babri mosque, the Congress razed the Akal Takhat of Sikhs. Both parties did these acts to gain political mileage.
*Whatever he (Manmohan Singh) decides, a minister first goes to 10, Janpath and takes permission of Sonia Gandhi. - L. K. Advani in Mathura rally
*What more can I say? There may be several claimants for the post but no one comes close to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. - Sonia Gandhi, President, Congress.
OUR COMMENTS: He is not the choice of the people of India as he never won even a Panch seat of Village Panchayat .He is the darling of the manuwadis and capitalists globally! Dr. Chandan Mittra former Finance Minister of West Bengal in his autobiography wrote that he was first offered the finance ministership of India but he refused to be the stooge of the capitalist class. Then Manmohan Singh was selected (not elected!) .He may be a good bureaucrat but not an elected democrate!
*The Congress Party released its manifesto for Lok Sabha election.
OUR COMMENTS : The Congress as a part of the UPA government failed to implement the common minimum programme ( CMP ) including Lok Pal Bill , the bill of Women Quota , Communal Violence Bill , the Bill for rehabilitation of farmers, carving out Telangana state from the Andhra Pardesh , Bill on sexual harassment at work place , Reservation Act to codify quotas and jobs for SCs and STs in private sector , increasing public spending in education to six percent of GDP and health to 2-3 per cent .
*The election commission of India has barred one hundred sixty one persons from Punjab from contesting any election till 2011 AD for not submitting the details of expenditure on their contest during the Punjab assembly elections!
*Mr. S.K. Chibber ,ex Lieut. Governor of Mizoram , S.C. Chabbra IAS ( Retd. ) and three others sentenced for one and half years imprisonment in a cheque bounce case by a court at Chandigarh .
*Mr. P.A. Sangma former Lok Sabha speaker and three other Meghalaya MLAs have moved the Supreme Court, challenging the imposition of President Rule in Meghalaya state.
*The PMK and AIADMK will alliance in Tamil Nadu for the Lok Sabha election.
*Mr. Raj Kumar Verka former Congress MLA and Sawaran Singh former IAS apposed the candidature of Mohinder Singh Kay Pee, state congress president from Jalandhar (R) Lok Sabha constituency and demanded ticket for Valmiki Sawaran Singh former IAS.
OUR COMMENTS: This is the internal issue of the congress which divided the Dalit congress men .The Akali Dal ( Badal ) allotted all the three reserve seats to two Mazhabi Sikhs and one Valmiki but did not allot any seat to Ad-Dharami , Ravidassia / Ramdassia and other SCs .BJP allotted Hoshiarpur seat to a former IAS belonging to Adi-Dharami .The Congress allotted two seats to Adi-Dharami , one seat to Valmiki / Mazhabi and one seat to Ramdassia Sikh .Dr. Sawaran Singh said denying a ticket to Valmiki community amounted to its violation of human rights and threatened to take up the matter with human rights commission . Interestingly, the commission will ask him to prove whether you are turbaned Valmiki or Mazhabi Sikh! The commission will ask him “non Adi-Dharami / Valmiki / Ravidassia / Mazhabi SCs are not human beings " and why not allot one seat to them? What is the merit of Sawaran Singh as Congress politician compared to Kay Pee? Mr. Kay Pee is president of the Congress due to his Radha Swami background! They are communalizing their ticket issue. The SCs should not follow the both camps of Congress SCs as they are the stooges of the congress which did not implement the Mandal Commission report in Punjab, not fulfilled the SCs backlog in services and not passed the Reservation Act. Had ever M.S.Kay Pee, Raj Kumar Verka, Sawaran Singh and any other congress leader (including Akali / BJP leaders) threatened to quit their respective parties on these issues?
*Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former President of India will visit on Thursday the Dr. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology (NIT), Jalandhar ( Punjab ) to attend the convocation.
* Dr. Manmohan Singh, PM and his wife pay fourth time their obeisance at the Golden Temple and the Durgiana Temple, Amritsar but not at Guru Namdev Gurdwara, Guman, Guru Sain Gurdwara, Thathi Sohal and Bhagwan Valmiki Tirath near by due to his casteist bent of mind!

*The followers of the militant Ghadrites must throw shoes on the leaders responsible!
*Mr. Varun! Read the Bhagwat Gita and try to understand the meaning of the religious text. - Priyanka Vadra D/O Sonia Gandhi

OUR COMMENTS: Saheb Kanshi Ram used to say that election should be held every year so that the rulers had to touch the feet of the esteemed voters! The Election Commission proved that there was effective “code of conduct “during the election period but after the election the executive and legislature jointly exploit the people and destroy the government treasury! Indian Judiciary is so much corrupt and unconstitutional that it do not dare to disclose assets of the Judges .There must be a law that the corrupt class one government officers, MPs , MLAs , MLCs and priests must be hanged till death publically so that our sweet country must be free from corruption and injustice ! In India, there is no effective constitutional machinary which compelled the youths to take arms at the cost of their lives.
*The CIA chief Mr. Leon Panetra met the Indian Home minister Mr. P.Chidambaram at Delhi.
OUR COMMENTS: We respect US for Lincoln like liberators of the people and we urge the US to follow the foot prints of Baba Lincoln and Baba Dr. Martin Luther King who sacrificed their precious lives to establish the society based on equality, equity, liberty, fraternity and justice to all! But now the US act as a dictator globally which may result in the downfall like the United Kingdom!

OUR COMMENTS: Our India is dominated by Manuwadi mentality. In Manusmiriti recorded that the Brahmin men had the right to marry the Brahmin lady and rape the ladies of the non-Brahmins! The Kashattriya men had the right to marry ladies of their Varna and rape all other ladies except of Brahmin Varna .The Vaish (Bania) men had the right to marry ladies of their Varna and rape only ladies of Shudra Varna. If Shudra men raped the ladies of non-Shudra varnas, their penius must be cut off .This filthy system corrupted the non-Shudra men so much that they created the Devdasi system! Even still in Varanasi / Kashi and Mathura, both focal points of the Manuwadi Hinduism the widows of Bengal area compelled to live to be exploited sexually by the Brahmin Pandas!
A father raped even his daughter to be prosperous financially .When I was the office secretary, North Indian region of BSP H.Q.at Chandigarh , I came to know that an SSP even offered his daughter to the then DGP of Punjab .The girl escaped from the clutches from the beast DGP but the police persons handled her and handed over to the DGP .The same DGP selected some smart and young police ladies and ordered the SSP to send them Chandigarh ! Mata Sita had to suicide to prove her purity! The Manuwadi Hindus worship Brahma who tried his best five times to rape her daughter! This businessman must claim in the court that he is the incarnation of Brahma!!!!!
*In Phagwara ( Punjab) a youth Mr. Vishal Kumar Bagga (24) killed during the rivalry clash. The Police arrested five of the eight members gang.
OUR COMMENTS : Our parents do not nourish their children properly .There must be a compulsory certificate course of " parenthood " of atleast of three months for the unmarried youths .The children must be watched as the farmer watch his crop regularly .
*Advocate Jagmohan Bhatti filed the public interest litigation ( PIL ) in the Punjab and Haryana High Court , Chandigarh to know how the Haryana state has got fewer female voters this time as compared to 2004 Lok Sabha election , especially when the total population of the state has increased considerably during the past five years .
OUR COMMENTS: Once I interviewed Sahib Kanshi Ram Ji in 1987 AD for my magazine the 'Kaumi Udarian ‘. I asked him the dictator of Chile country shooted the elected representavis when they were going to take oath and Shiekh Muzibur Rehman of Bangla Desh was abducted by the rulers even his party won the election. I said that US sent 7th armed ship in the Bay of Bengal against India and USSR had to give warning that if US interfere this region then USSR would also jump in the battle! India attacked East Pakistan (now Bangla Desh) and one lac Pakistani soldiers surrendered when Babu Jagjivan Ram was the Defence Minister of India. New country was created and Mrs. Indira Gandhi got credit of it by honouring herself with the Bharat Ratan highest civilian award! I asked Saheb Kanshi Ram Ji how the people would let you rule India who even the Panchayati government land had in their possession. Saheb said," Koi vee raj tashtari ch rakh ke nahin dinda means No one gives the state in the plate! "
He had to sacrifice his precious life to capture the Prime Minister Office. He did not accept the offer by BJP to be the President of India as he was of the view that real power lied in the PMO not in the Rashtarpati Bhawan.
We appreciate Advocate Bhatti for his democratic constitutional vigilance that exposed the election machinery! We all must be vigilant as the Lok Sabha and Assemblies are the buildings where the future of our country and states are molded! Long live our democratic and constitutional systems!!!!!

*S. Parkash Singh Badal camped in the Bathinda parliamentary constituency where his family member and son of S. Amrinder Singh ex CM will contest.
OUR COMMENT: CM must do his duty at Chandigarh during the election period .The Congress and BJP nourished the Brahmin, Thakur, Bania and former Maharajas politically. The SAD also followed their footprints which will end as the rules of Maharaja Ranjit Singh and of Shiva Ji .We must finish the political dynasties democratically!
*The photos of both Badals have been removed from the government offices due to the ' code of conduct ‘!
*In Punjab , numerous voters have not their names in the voter list even having the identity cards issued by the election department!

I asked my brother to complaint to the SSP to file FIR against the culprits under IPC and the SC and ST atrocities Act so that in future no one can dare to delete the name of a voter!
* “The Sikhs are terrorists who killed my grandmother Indira Gandhi. The Sikhs and Muslims walk out of my meeting! “Mr. Varun Gandhi said in a meeting in Pilibhit (U.P.).
OUR COMMENTS: The Sikhs who killed Indira Gandhi had been hanged till death by the court order .Then Mr. Varun Gandhi should not communalize this issue. Actually he follow the footprints of his late father Mr. Sanjay Gandhi .Babu Jagjivan Ram once commented on Mr. Sanjay Gandhi when he said that India is ruled by one and an half persons means Indira Gandhi and half Sanjay Gandhi !

Shahjahan was happy to receive gift pack from his son but was shocked finding the head of his beloved son Dara Shikoh! Rama as king of Ayodhya preferred to banish Sita than leaving the kingdom! George Fernades, Sharad Yadav and Nitish betrayed the common cause and joined the Manuwadis politically!
*Uma Bharti a former CM of BJP will campaign for Advani!
OUR COMMENT: She is not matured. She has a manuwadi bent of mind. In 2007 AD, she withdrew her candidates during U.P. Assembly election in support of BJP.
*Third front has no significance and Congress will again form its government - Kapil Sibbal, sr. spokesman of Congress.
OUR COMMENT: The Congress governments never ordered state governments to implement the Mandal Commission Report, to fulfill the backlog of reserve seats in services and pass the reservation Act. What is the constitutional significance of the Congress and its governments at the centre and in the states?

*Ms Mayawati will address a rally on 28th April, 2009 at Ludhiana.
*BJP candidate Varun Gandhi said the 'doctored' CD was a vigorous attempt to malign him. He asserted he was a proud Hindu and not apologetic about his faith.
OUR COMMENTS: The BJP means Brahmin-Bania Jaatiwadi (castiest) Party which demolished the Babri Mosque at Ayodya on 6th December, 1992 to build the Ram temple. King Ram was the incarnation of Vishanu who raped Adi-Mata Varinda@Tulasi w/o Adi-Maha Bhagwan Jalandhar ( please refer the Padam Puran ) whose religious monument with a pond built at Jalandhar city in Punjab in front of which ( only road distance ) Baba Mangu Ram Muggowalia established the head quarter of his Adi-Dharam Mandal . Mr. Varun Gandhi and his BJP are anti Bahujans i.e. SCs , STs , OBCs and religious minorities .They are undemocratic and unconstitutional .Hence BJP like parties must be banned and its leaders must be put behind to save the constitutional and democratic systems !

*The election commissioner of Punjab ordered “No political pictures in offices " even not the portraits of the CM.
OUR COMMENTS: CM is not political post, he is the representative of the legislature and head of the government .When the CM of Punjab delivered government grants in Sangat Darshan functions, the ruling alliance office bearers sat on stage and even address the people .Then the executive of the Punjab government did nothing to be this Sangat Darshan a political show! Actually, the executive wing of the Government surrendered to the Legislative wing for pity gains! As I Tehsil Welfare Officer struggled hard but I was compelled to sacrifice my job at the age of 21 when I had to nourish the 8 members family of my late father.
*The peon of Sirsa (Haryana) posed as IPS officer and arrested!
*OUR COMMENTS: Last year, sons of a rickshaw puller of Varanasi / Kashi (U.P.) and of a police constable selected as IAS and IPS respectively! Dr. Ambedkar rightly wrote that when a Brahmin lady got pegnanat, she wished her child to be a Judge of High Court but the Dalit pregnant lady wished her child to be a sweeper in the municipality. But now the Chief Justice of India is a Dalit due to the constitutional system.
In June, 2004, Mata Bishan Kaur mother of Saheb Kanshi Ram Ji met him in the Batra Hospital, New Delhi with the permission of the Delhi High Court, Delhi. In the night, we offered fruits. She ate and washed their seeds and kept in her safe custody. My wife enquired about and Mata Bishan Kaur replied that she would sow these seeds in her village! I exclaimed," That is the vision which gave birth to a visionary like Saheb Kanshi Ram! “The arrested peon is a very visionary and daring person to whom government and society must utilize properly!
*The trespasser photographer killed by a crocodile inside the Gir forest in Gujarat.
OUR COMMENTS: While we also passed through the Gir Jungle when we were going from Rajkot to DIU during our research tour on Adi-Maha Bhagwan Jalandhar. The photographer should not came out of his vehicle .Our video graphic Mr. Jan Sangram Chumber recorded the jungle life but he never came out of his vehicle.

OUR COMMENTS: But mother, brothers and sister of Saheb Kanshi Ram met him only by the Delhi High Court .We met him with about 50 people along Mata Bishan Kaur and second time on 30th June, 2004 at Batra Hospital, New Delhi. Ms Mayawati did not permit Chander Shekhar former PM of India to met Saheb Kanshi Ram at Batra Hospital .Why?

OUR COMMENTS: As we earlier floated an idea to unite the non-Congress and non-BJP parties, M/S Lalu and Paswan followed that idea. As we know, there is assembly election along this Lok Sabha in Sikkim state where Congress, BJP and CPM have joined an alliance against Mr. Chamling, CM of Sikkim!

The democratic system is it nullified the violence in society!
*In the largest-ever US arms transfer to India to date, Obama's administration has cleared a $2.1bn sale to India of eight Boeing Co P-8I maritime patrol aircraft.

Now Saini community protested against declaring them BC but one day they will repent having no share in the government administration. The reservation is not a concession; it is just to secure the share of these communities from the unjust communities in the administration. Our children are now competition in the open merit . Dr. Ambedkar drafted the constitution, Babu Jagjivan Ram and Saheb Kanshi Ram were sure shot Prime Ministers of India if the communal and anti-constitutional forces did not play the foul games. Backward Classes should join hands with Schedule Caste to become the rulers! |

COMMENTS : Our government , law enforcing agencies , religious and political leaders did not enlight about the constitutional and legal norms .Our friends who lecture that Baba Saheb Ambedkar drafted the constitution also failed to convince the masses to the relevancy of constitutional norms ! They do not even know that the present and Baba Saheb constitutions are separate and what amendments have been done in the constitution of Baba Saheb .The Parliament secreteriate of India published the calligraphic copies of Baba Saheb drafted and implemented constitution costing Rs.2000 only and also published the constituent assembly debates in 8 volumes in English and Hindi costing Rs.2000 only. I have both in my reference library .We must read the debates in the both houses of Parliament of India and our state assembly to know the actions of our governments and representatives .
The Ambedkarite and other Dalit religious social organisations must start to highlight the constitution, Indian Penal Code and other acts to be vigilant law abiding citizens and start inter-caste marriages to liberate from the Hinduism in practical. If a non -Hindu do not do inter-caste marriage, he / she is still Hindu in practice. A non-Hindu is who do not obey the caste / varna system in practice. Practice what you preach!

OUR COMMENTS : Colleges are still harassing even brilliant sc students – C. L. Chumber Aug 9 2008 , 5:16 PM EDT : I am a very simple, social and calm person .In my student life, I used to challenge the all students to top, otherwise I will suicide. I succeeded every year. But in a DAV college, my Hindu professors spoiled my dream to be a doctor. I challenged them that one day I would be a social doctor. The Hindu professors still spoil the careers of Dalit students. My son Mr. Kumarjiv Chumber was not permitted to appear in the 5th semester of the MULTIMEDIA DEGREE OF G.N.D.UNIVERSITY, AMRITSAR for two years. My wife had to go to university twice in a sem to get permission for admission and for exam permission. This was a routine upto 7th semester. In the 7th semester his classmates threatened to boycott the exam. I still remember how he loudly wept when he was not permitted to sit in 5th semester exam. My wife asked me to come in field to solve the problem. I went to the Brahmin lady principal of the APEE JAY COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS , JALANDHAR CITY to give us in writing. She refused. The principal had no principles. Then, we both met dealing superintendent of the university. He also refused. Then we met an assistant registrar who ordered to clear the matter. The Hindu clerk wrote note against us. The Sikh registrar ordered him to rewrite a note by allowing 5th semester as late appearing and 8th semester regular appearing. Our brilliant and determined son got 92% marks in 5th semester and 98% in 8th semester .My son`s Sikh professor of Kanpur resigned in protest. He helped his student in placement at Noida (up). I had pledged my sweet home for my children’s higher study with the nationalized bank releasing installments. A religious Dera, a group of news paper, an ex V.C. of university also created hurdles. We are still not in anger because we and our son gave a befitting reply to the manuwadis. Now the same college management is pursuing unofficially my son to be a professor in their college but my wife turned down their offer. The same way I turn down your” common man help” who worship rapist, racist and fascist Gods with thanks:

OUR COMMENTS : The centre government and the Punjab government announced Rs. 50,000 grant to the inter-caste married couples by equal sharing but the governments and society could not create amicable environment .We appreciate Heer-Ranjha , Sassi-Punnu , Sohani-Mahiwal , Laila-Majhanu but can not bear the existence of contemporary lovers ! Why? Do we not wish to dynamite the Varna / caste systems created by the manuwadis by inter- caste marriages as well as inter - Varna marriages or part and parcel of this filthy system?
One thing is clear that no power in the world can stop to die this filthy caste system as the well educated youths of all castes / varnas hate this system and when we celebrate the centenary of the Adi-Dharam Mandal in 1926 AD, at least inter-caste marriages among scheduled castes will be a routine work! As our Bharat Rattan Baba Saheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar appealed his followers to dynamite the Vedas which had the first ever evidence of caste / varna system .At least, we can arrange inter-state / inter-regions marriages between the residents of Majha, Doaba and Malwa regions within our own castes! We should come out of the wells of regions / castes and swim in the ponds, rivers and seas! We pay obeisance to our daughter late Miss (?) Suman Devi and share grieves with Mr. Ashok Kumar, widower before marriage.
*No personal functions in the premises of government schools .The Punjab government banned which would create hurdles for poor parents who arrange marriages in the schools.

GURU RAVIDASS AYURVAIDIK UNIVERSITY
“Mr. Parkash Singh Badal, Chief Minister of Punjab announced that the proposed Ayurvaidik University at Hoshiarpur ( Punjab ) will be named as Guru Ravidass Ayurvaidik University!" |
Parkash Singh Badal |

The judicial mechanism of India failed completely! - H.R. Bhardwaj , Union Law Minister of India
OUR COMMENTS: We had already proclaimed that the Indian judiciary system died with the death of revered Mata Bishan Kaur Ji mother of Sahib Kanshi Ram and the democratic system died with the untimely death of Sahib Kanshi Ram s/o Mata Bishan Kaur! Pandit Bhardwaj Ji! The judicial system and democratic system is not failed. You people played the foul game!
*S. Gurbachan Singh Galibh, twice congress MP from Ludhiana ( Punjab), ex Senior Vice President defected to SAD (Badal) and S. Sukhbir Singh Badal, president of SAD (B) announced him party candidate from LUDHIANA PARLAMENTARY (Lok Sabha) constituency.
OUR COMMENTS: There is anti defection law for elected MPs / MLAs. Why are not some norms for ex MPs / MLAs? Mr. Rajiv Gandhi brought this law but it proved to be a party dictatorship. There are thousands SAD party workers of Ludhiana area which were ignored to adjust the defected Congress leader! This is unethical, undemocratic and dictatorial step which must be discarded!
*S. Har Mohinder Singh Chattha committee recommended to the Haryana government to have separate Gurdwara Management Committee for Haryana state. S. Parkash Singh Badal, CM of Punjab said that he will not allow this.
OUR COMMENTS: S. Badal must know that he submitted a secular constitution of his party to the Chief Election Commissioner of India and a criminal application against his party is pending in the court at Hoshiarpur for religious activities and submitting fake constitutions. (TO -DAY`S INDIAN HIGHLIGHTS, Wednesday , February 21, 2009 , http://www.ambedkartimes.com/World%20Media%20News.htm#today ).
Why is he interfering in the Haryana state affairs? He blamed many times that the centre is interfering in the Sikh affairs. And now how he does the same in the Haryana Sikh affairs! His nominee may go to court to challenge any illegality but you understand that he is governed by the Indian Constitution not by Jattwad! The Jattwad is a big challenge to the Sikhism as well as to the constitution!
* I (C.L. CHUMBER ) have in my hand a Punjabi daily " the Punjabi Tribune " , Jalandhar dated 23rd February , 2009 in which Mr. Davinder Paul , press reporter " ' Lavarsh lashaan da maamla , Kang committee 935 mritkaan di shanakhat karan vich safal ' means ' Tke Kang Committee succeeded in identifying the unidentified dead bodies ' ". During the Punjab terror period 1984 AD to 1994 AD , the committee under a senior IAS officer S. Navrit Singh Kang organised by the Punjab government found 935 applications out of 1015 applications correct .The Kang committee appointed Justice K. K. Garg , session judge ( retd. ) to identify the unclaimed dead bodies .The National Human Rights Commission ordered the Punjab government to compensate with Rs.2.5 lacs to each heir of the deceased
According to Mr. Davinder Pal, the police of Amritsar and Tarn Taran cremated 2000 dead bodies as unclaimed .The matter was brought to the notice of the Supreme Court of India and it handed over it to CBI .The CBI identified the 1400 of unclaimed dead bodies out of 2000 .The 600 unclaimed dead bodies are yet to be identified by CBI. The main problem in this case to identify the heirs of the unclaimed dead bodies is to whom Rs. 2.5 Lacs each to be paid! The Punjab Police is also interested to settle this issue to get rid of it. The brain behind this genocide is manuwadi which treat the death of a Shudra equivalent to animals. (http://dalitnation.wordpress.com/2008/12/12/not-white-tiger-but-the-black-panther-of-dalits-for-india/#comment-5098 ).
* Now, a Punjabi daily” The Ajit”. Jalandhar City (http://www.ajitjalandhar.com ) in its editorial by S. Barjinder Singh titled” Pakistan nun bachaun di laur’ means’Pakistan must be saved’!”I translate this editorial so that our readers may know the facts and views of a contemporary” -PAKISTAN MUST BE SAVED! ” To-day , the whole world is concentrated on Pakistan .The story of this country is heartburn and restlessness .The heartburn is due to at the time of its creation killed people in lacs and in lacs were homeless .In 1971 AD , it divided and a new country Bangla Desh created and again people in lacs were killed . Although Bangla Desh got independence yet it still struggle to be stable .Pakistan was created on religion basis but now the different groups of the same religion shed blood of each others .The organisations of violent nature regular kill the innocent people.
” There was a hope that the new government elected by the people will perhaps hold its control over the country .But this government is far behind and is directionless .Due to this the future existence of Pakistan is doubtful and the future of the people is very heartburn ! - - Including the Swati Valley of North West Frontier Province of Pakistan ( the 1881 AD census report of Punjab was clubbed with the N.W.F.P. - Chumber ) , the terrorist groups frightened and threatened the people .Due to it the thousands were killed and in lacs were compelled to migrate from theirs own land .The Pakistan government allowed these terrorists to implement their own laws which will neither be helpful to solve any problem nor bring peace . - - The most European countries including USA expressed theirs concern on Pakistan compromising with Talibans. ” ” The Pakistan government is helpless to solve this situation .NOW THERE IS URGENCY TO SAVE THIS COUNTRY AS THE FUTURE OF THE SOUTH ASIAN COUNTIES LIES IN THE FUTURE OF THIS( PAKISTAN ) COUNTRY.”
As I (C. L. CHUMBER) warned in my earlier writing that it is not commendable USA army attacks on Pakistan and India will not face USA and its allies after Pakistan destruction .If Pakistan is destructed then India will be no more Independent country ! After all , most of the Pakistanis are migrated ex-Indians ! We must be active to save the democratic constitutional set ups! http://dalitnation.wordpress.com/2007/12/14/aishwarya-rai-a-victim-of-brahmin-conspiracy/#comment-5105
*Gujarat CM Mr. Narendra Modi will start his Lok Sabha election campaign from the new Dindhori constituency (Pimpalgaon district) on 25th February, 2009.
OUR COMMENTS: Mr. Modi is a blot on the face of the Indian democracy. " The Gujrat government in an affidavit in the Gujrat High Court has said that Mrs. Maya Kodani , state minister led the mob , instigated them and distributed weapons to carry out Naroda riot which left 95 people dead in 2002 AD . "
*According to a report of the Comptroller and auditor general (CAG) of India, the Indian government did not utilized Rs. 78,000 (Rs. seventy eight thousands crores) foreign aid for which it paid fine of Rs. 124.54 crores to the World Bank and to the Asian Development Bank.
OUR COMMENTS: This is the case of mismanagement which resulted in loss of Rs. 78,000 crores and a fine of Rs.124.54 crores. The 35 percent (Rs. 27,300) was for the urban development and roads construction. The 30 percent was for the agriculture, forestry, power; water supply and sanitation .even rs.4815 crore for the health sector were also not utilized! Who is / are responsible(s) for this heinous crime? One day I planned to watch the working of the civil hospital, Jalandhar City. We got no medicine. My wife could not avail free medical treatment being government employee. Even the Red Cross medical store had no medicines prescribed. I asked why this so? The concerned made lame excuses. My wife who is familiar for her stirs said," when your medicines will come, the patients mortal remains will be immersed in the Ganga! "
If your good selves do not mind, the mortal remains of good management in India had been immersed in the rivers!
*The Supreme Court rejects plea of Capt. Amrinder Singh ex CM, Punjab to attend assembly session!
OUR COMMENTS: Capt. Amrinder Singh like many other MPs / MLAs of India attends the house off and on like a college student who gets admission in the college / university to enjoy. Capt. was mostly absent in the assembly sessions.
*Mr. Abhay Singh Sandhu nephew of Shahid Bhagat Singh demanded that an independent agency should monitor the work of memorial." Information sought by an NGO had revealed that Rs.3 crore was spent on a single function where a coin had been released ", said Sandhu.
OUR COMMENTS: Our governments ignore Baba Mangu Ram Muggowalia like International militant freedom fighter and International humanist who made the untouchables as touchables. Bhagat Singh wrote only an article “Achhut Da Swal - The Question of an Untouchable." Bhagat Singh had only three qualities; 1) JATT caste 2) Arya Samajist 3) Stooge of Lala Lajpat Rai who demonstrated to stop Baba Muggowalia to meet the Simon Commission to submit the demands of the untouchables. Both Jatts and Arya Samajists communities were against the untouchables and are still opponents! Mr. Abhay Singh Sandhu must also demand the independent enquiry that why Bhagat Singh is so highlighted and his co-martyrs Rajguru and Sukhdev are so much ignored as compared to Bhagat Singh!

*The Mangalore Rural Police have registered a case against Union Minister of State for Women and Child Development Mrs. Renuka Chaudhury for her “Talibanisation of Mangalore “comment following the attack by the Hindutva fringe groups here recently.
*The Punjab School Education Board permitted its students to pass the examinations upto 12th class without passing the English, Mathematics and Science subjects!
OUR COMMENTS: The anti-masses forces are active in the Punjab and they have say even in the government. If a student passes the Matric (10th) class without these subjects he can not get admission even in the ITIs. How a student without these subjects can get admission in the professional degrees after 12th class? The Punjabis who wish to migrate in foreign countries can express their views without fluency in the English language? Dr. Upinderjit Kaur, Education Minister of Punjab stressed on three language formula (English, Hindi, and Punjabi) to be successful in the universe. She was delivering her speech on 21st February on the International mother-tongue day function held at Jalandhar City. This is a big plot to destabilize the masses from the professional education!!!!!

* Every fifth household commits female foeticide - Mrs. Harsimrat Kaur w/o S. Sukhbir S. Badal deputy CM of Punjab.
OUR COMMENTS: We demand the white paper on the female feticide to know the religious communities and castes who commit this crime en mass. This is established fact that the SCs / poor are against it and the rich and well educated people commit this crime mostly. Sex ratio :girls / 1,000 boys - Punjab ( 798 ) , Haryana ( 819 ) , Chandigarh ( 845 ) , Delhi ( 868 ) , Himachal Pardesh ( 896 ) and National average ( 927 ).
*Mr. Ram Vilas Paswan laid the foundation stone of Steel Authority of India Ltd plant at Kandori industrial area in Kangra district (H.P.)
*276 children are missing in the district Ludhiana ( Punjab ) in a year .This was disclosed in an information sought under the Right to Information Act.
*In Tamil Nadu some Hindu Temples allowed Dalits / SCs to enter the temples but some temples still do not allow.
OUR COMMENTS: Dr. Ambedkar agitated for entry in the Kala Ram Temple , Nasik ( Maharashtra ) and Bhai Mehtab Singh Bir also agitated against untouchability ( Please read SGPC literature ) in the Golden Temple , Amritsar . But Baba Mangu Ram Muggowalia founder of the Adi-Dharam Mandal declared that the aboriginal Indians were neither Hindu nor they belong to any other religion except the Adi-Dharam .( Ref. http://www.ambedkartimes.com/babu_manguram.htm ).Dr. Ambedkar established in his article " Are not the untouchables a separate element ? " , in the round table conferences ( 1930-32 ) and to the Simon Commission that the SCs are not HIndus !!!!! (http://www.ambedkartimes.com/about_ambedkar.htm ) then why are we strugling to be Hindus? Our elite class is flickering mind .That is why we could not follow the straight path like the Adi-Dharam.
*The Kerala government plans Rs. 100 crore aids for Gulf returnees.

Invitation to national summit on
'Manual Scavenging as Occupational violenceagainst Dalit Women' at New Delhi
|
SKA greets you in partnership to reclaim our dignity, equity and personhood
through breaking the caste system!
Date : 25th Feb, 09,
Venue : Vishwa Yuvak Kendra, Chanakyapuri,New Delhi
Time : 10 AM onwards
Safai Karmachari Andolan-SKA, a national movement is committed to the total elimination of the obnoxious practice of manual scavenging that affects the dignity of nearly 1.3 million persons engaged in manual scavenging (safaikarmacharis) in India. Since 1996, we have undertaken several measures to pressurize the Governments and other related parties to implement the 'Employment of Manual Scavengers and Construction of Dry Latrines (Prohibition) Act 1993 that prohibits this inhuman practice. One such measure is the legal intervention by way of a PIL case filed along with 18 other organizations and individuals. The honorable Supreme Court has not only admitted our case but has also periodically passed orders reprimandingthe state parties for their negligence and inaction. The Supreme Court is continuing to demand time bound programmes and schemes to eliminate the practice and to rehabilitate all those employed as manual scavengers.
SKA organized a national consultation in November 2007 to develop a collective vision of eradication of manual scavenging with a year wise strategic plan to involve civil society cutting across social, political and economic strata. 'Action 2010'-a declaration of time bound movement to restore the human rights of 13 lakh safai Karmchairs-emerged through deliberations by the participants, including several community activists, leaders of social movements and human rights organizations and NGOs.
As more than 95% of those engaged are Dalit women , the thematic focus of themovement in the first year of Action-2010 i.e. 2008, Occupational violenceagainst Dalit women, drew hundreds of Safai Karmachari women in 13 states,at local and state levels into the arena of struggle as a result of SKA'smotivational and awareness activities; their innate urge for liberation from this atrocity was unleashed and they were spurred on to organise protest rallies and burning of the baskets and brooms used to collect human excreta.These actions proved baseless the allegations thrown upon safai karamcharis by civil society and Govt that SK women do not want liberation or are not prepared to take up alternative dignified livelihood. Hitherto invisible safai karmachari women are now in the forefront of the struggle, crossing the restraints imposed upon them by their families, questioning the bureaucrats, uninhibited even by the media glare to give a clarion call -"this atrocity shall no longer be tolerated!"
SKA proposes a national summit in New Delhi to bring visibility to the gender dimension of this occupational violence among women's rights' groups; it shall be a culmination of this thematic process, and continuation of solidarity building, as well as the declaration of strategic interventions of the second year's thematic campaign i.e. Manual scavenging - 'Stark reality of -untouchability'.
This summit will be led by safai karmachari women activists from 16 states who will share their tears and triumphs, their struggle and determination to break the shackles of this caste and descent based occupation, apart from interacting with prominent women's rights and dalit women's rights activistsfor solidarity and inputs to march forward.
Now is the time for women's rights activists and groups to actively denounce this shame of the nation and to join hands in solidarity with the liberation struggles of safai karmacharis. We invite you to join us in this National Summit and share your experiences in making significant contribution to the women's cause in the country; in the process safai karamchari women will be enriched, paving the way for realizing the collective dream of liberating all women from 'gender discrimination and occupational violence'.
Together let us jolt the Indian Govt and civil society into shedding its deeply entrenched apathy and callousness!
In Solidarity,
Bezwada WilsonK. Anuradha Dr.YMoses

Our comments: Mrs. Ambika Soni disgraced Adi Mahaguru Ravidass Ji because he was belong to the ex untouchable community as well as Mahaguru of the ex untouchable. We know her mind and her in laws. Baba Muggowalia read in her in-laws school at Bijwara Kalan on Hoshiarpur-Una road in district Hoshiarpur. He had to sit outside of the class room being untouchable! One rainy day, he entered the class room but Pandit Pohlo Ram beaten him. Next day the class room was purified by the Ganga water but when that youngman passed away in 1980 ad, he produced 100 IAS / IPS officers from his caste only in district Hoshiarpur only and the all others castes produced 64 only !!!!! We have to teach a good lesson to Mrs. Soni politically who is supposed to be a congress candidate from the newly carved Anand Pur Sahib Lok Sabha constituency!

(Links to newspaper articles and short film on protest are given below main text)
The Dalit Lekhak Sangh celebrates the victory of the Dalit movement in forcing the Government of India, to amend the controversial Bill titled 'The Scheduled Castes and The Scheduled Tribes (Reservation in Posts and Services) Bill, 2008.' You may be aware that the Bill was hurriedly passed by the Rajya Sabha, on its last day of the previous session, in December 2008, and was to be tabled in the Lok Sabha during the current session.
Various Dalit, progressive and democratic organisations of teachers, students, grassroots activists, writers, besides concerned individuals, intellectuals, political parties, civil society organisations, artists, media persons, social activists and professionals etc., had opposed and lambasted the Bill in its current form. They had participated in multiple protests, dharnas, rallies and other forms of concerted action all over India, and lobbied to force the Government to amend the proposed Bill, prior to its being tabled before the Lok Sabha.
We look forward to your support and solidarity, in keeping a watch on the process of amendment of the proposed Bill, to ensure that the Amended Bill does not sport any Anti - Dalit / Adivasi / marginalised people clause.
For your reference, I am providing IMPORTANT LINKS to (1) A film on a protest by NMPR on the issue, at the Indian Parliament on 5th Feb 09. and (2-4) Links on some prominent newspaper reports on the Govt's backtracking on the Bill.

- Technology
As this Bill does not define any of these subjects, it has been left to interpretation by the bureaucracy, judiciary or vested interests opposed to the reservation for the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes.
This Section of the bill when read with the Section 4 (1) (iii) denies reservation to the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes in the posts higher than the lowest level of Grade A and classified as ‘scientific or technical post’.
It could be easily observed by reading advertisements of the government that most of the posts in these categories are other than the lowest grade of A. Can Government guarantee that there will be no recruitment for ‘scientific or technical post’ other than at the lowest level of Grade A?
Therefore, NACDOR suggest that Section 2 (j) may please be deleted.
- RESERVATION IN APPOINTMENTS BY DIRECT RECRUITMENT AND PROMOTION
Section 3 (1) does not define percentage of definition and it has been left to the wishes of the government or its bureaucracy.
It is therefore, suggested that Section 3(1) may please be replaced with the following:
“The Government shall reserve posts for members of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes in civil services by direct recruitment and promotion such that it is not less than their proportion in the population”.
- NO RESERVATION IN CERTAIN CASES
Section 4 (1) denies reservation in the following categories of posts and services
- for a period of less than forty-five days;
- for work charged posts required for any emergency relief work;
- to posts higher than the lowest grade of Group ‘A’ posts and classified as scientific or technical; and
- to posts higher than the lowest grade of Group ‘A’ in institutions of national importance and Indian Institutes of Management specified in the Schedule.
The schedule mentioned in Section 4(1)(iv) include following 47 institutes that include:
- Aligarh Muslim University , Aligarh
- All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi
- Allahabad University , Allahabad
- Banaras Hindu University , Varanasi
- Delhi University , Delhi
- Dr. B. R. Ambedkar National Institute of Technology, Jalandhar
- Imperial War Museum
- Six Indian Institute of Managements at Ahemadabad, Bangalore , Calcutta , Indore , Kojhikode, Lucknow
- Seven I IT’s at New Delhi , Mumbai, Kanpur , Kharagpur, Chennai, Guwahati and Roorkee
- Indian Museum , Calcutta
- Indian War Memorial, New Delhi
- Jawaharlal Institute of Post Graduate Medical Education and Research, Pondicherry
- 14 National Institute of Technology at Surathkal, Agartala, Calicut , Patna , Durgapur , Hamirpur, Jamshedpur , Kurukshetra, Raipur , Rourkela , Silcher, Srinagar , Triuchirapalli, Warangal
- Malviya National Institute of Technology, Jaipur
- Maulana Azad National Institute of Technology, Bhopal
- Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad
- National Library, Calcutta
- Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research, Chandigarh
- Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Management, Shilong
- Sardar Vallabhbhai National Institute of Technology, Surat
- Victoria Memorial Museum , Calcutta
- Vishwa Bharti, West Bengal
- Vishvesvaraya National Institute of Technology, Nagpur
Section 4(2) allows government to amend the above list by notification in the Official Gazette.
The implications of Section 4 (1) (I and ii) are far reaching.
Section 4(1)(i) denies recruitment to the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes in the appointments for a period of less than 45 days.
As Government posts are being contracted out, Section 4 (1)(i) while do not limit the appointment of the non-Scheduled Castes and the non-Scheduled Tribes, it positively discriminate with the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes by denying them reservation and hence appointment in such posts.
Similarly Section 4 (1) (ii) denies any reservation or recruitment of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes in appointment for work charged posts required for any emergency relief work (such as Bihar Flood, Tsunami, Gujarat or Latur Earthquake). It is now an established fact that the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are discriminated in providing relief in emergency. Denial of appointment to the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes will further aggravate their problems in the time of distress.
As mentioned above, Section 4 (1)(iii) denies reservation and hence appointment to the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes to the posts higher than then lowest grade of Group ‘A’ and classified as scientific or technical posts. As per the definition of ‘scientific or technical post’ as defined in the Section 2 (j), most of the posts in the government fall under this category and hence the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes will not be eligible for the posts to be filled by direct recruitment other than the lowest grade of Group ‘A’.
Section 4 (1) (iv) denies reservation and hence recruitment of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes in the recruitment of posts higher than the lowest grade of Group ‘A’ in any institute of national importance and Indian Institute of Management or any other institute (s) which government may notify in the Official Gazette. This Section fundamentally violates the constitutional provisions of equality based on birth and caste.
Therefore, in the light of the above discussions, it is suggested that the Section 4 (1) with its sub-sections, (2) and (3) be deleted from the Bill.
- INCUSION OF SCHEDULED CASTES AND SCHEDULED TRIBES OFFICERS IN THE SELECT LIST IN CASE OF PROMOTION WITHIN GROUP ‘A’
Careful reading of this Section inform that while the non-Scheduled Castes and the non-Scheduled Tribes shall be automatically selected for the select list, the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes need to be ‘relatively senior’, which prejudice the appointment of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes.
Therefore, the words ‘relatively senior so as to be’ appearing in line 5 of the Section (5) be removed.
Modified Section shall be as given below:
“In the case of promotion by selection from one Group ‘A’ post to another Group ‘A’ post which carries the scale of pay, the maximum of which is equal or less than the maximum of the scale of pay of a Director in the Central Secretariat Service or equivalent posts in other establishments, the officer belonging to the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes, who fit to hold the post and are within the number of vacancies for which the select list is to be drawn, shall be included in such select list and considered for appointment.”
9. RELAXATION IN QUALIFICATIONS AND EXPERIENCE
The words ‘and desirable’ appearing in line one of Section 9 (1) be removed.
Para 2 of Section 9(1) is unnecessary as appointments of the unfit candidates are not made. Hence this para be removed.
13. LIAISON OFFICER
Experiences of many decades have shown that the mechanism of Liaison has failed in desirable results in filling the reservation in services and posts. Liaison Officer being an officer designate by the appointing authority and a sub-ordinate of the same authority, will always be insecure and hence unable to discharge his/her duties under this act. Therefore, this law shall create a constitutional authority responsible for the implementation of this law. Therefore, it is suggested that a ‘Special Officer’ for the implementation of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Reservation in posts and services) be appointed under this law which shall implement the Law in a time bound manner and monitor the progress of the law for not less than the five year from the date when the level of presence of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes in the Government posts and services reach to the level of their proportion in the population. Accordingly following changes in the Bill are suggested:
Section 13 (1) may be changed as
“The Government shall appoint a ‘Special Officer’ not below the rank of Joint Secretary in the Central Secretariat Services for the purpose of implementation of this Act or the rules made there under or any direction or instructions issued by the Government regarding reservation are not contravened.”
Section 13 (2) may be changed as
The ‘Special Officer’ shall from time to time, inspect and verify the documents, records and reports with respect to appointments of members of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes made by the appointing authority of any establishment.
Section 13 (3) may be changed as
Where the ‘Special Officer’ is satisfied that any establishment has contravened the provisions of this Act or the rules made thereunder or any direction or instruction issued, he shall send a report to the head of the establishment clearly fixing the responsibility for the contravention.
Section 13 (4) may be changed as
On receipt of the report of contravention under sub-section (3), the head of the establishment shall take action for the penal action under section 18 against the person responsible for such contravention.
14. MAINTENANCE OF DOCUMENTS AND RECORDS AND FURNISHING OF REPORT BY APPOINTING AUTHORITY
The words ‘Liaison Officer’ appearing in third line , Section 14 (2) may please be replaced with ‘Special Officer’
15. TRAINING PROGRAMMES FOR SCHEDULED CASTES AND SCHEDULED TRIBES
This section subjects the training programmes of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes on the availability of the resources, whereas such condition is no where found for the officers of other category.
Therefore this section may please be modified as per the following:
‘The Government shall provide finance and other resources to develop and organize training programmes to advance the competence of members of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes for appointment to services and posts.’
18. PENALTY FOR CONTRAVENTION OF PROVISIONS OF THE ACT
In case someone deliberately contravenes the Act, this section provides only for the disciplinary action. Therefore, it is suggested that the Section 18 may please be changed as under:
“Where any person responsible for implementing the provision of the Act or the rules made thereunder, contravenes any of the provision thereof, he shall be liable for the punishment for a term which may extend to five years or with fine which may extend to one lakh rupees or with both.”

COMMENTS ON THE SCHEDULED CASTES AND THE SCHEDULED TRIBES (RESERVATION IN POSTS AND SERVICES) BILL, 2008
(As passed by the Rajya Sabha) |
|
Dr. Ambedkar Chetna Manch (Regd.) P.O. Dinanagar, Tehsil & District Gurdaspur, Punjab – India |
|
COMMENTS:
- The Bill was introduced in the Parliament and the same was referred to the Parliamentary Standing Committee of the Department of Personnel. The committee gave a report in June 2005 inserting a penal clause for erring authorities (imprisonment for three years and Rs. 50, 000 as fine, or both) and deleting the "unfit" proviso, among others.
- The government brushed aside the report, re-drafted the Bill by dropping OBCs from its ambit. The Ministries that are large employers perhaps have not been consulted.
- After adding anti-reservation provisions to it, the Bill was introduced in the Rajya Sabha in 2008.
- The Bill was passed in the Upper House in less than two minutes amidst ruckus and without any discussion.
- The Bill as passed by the Rajya Sabha on 23 rd December 2008 wipes out, restricts and cripples to a greater extent, the provision of reservation for the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes.
- The core focus of the Bill has been to limit reservation of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes rather then extending it to Private Sector.
- What to talk of extending the reservation to private sector, the present Bill takes away 47 government institutions from the purview of reservation and these include the Indian Institutes of Technology, the Indian Institutes of Management, Post Graduate Medical Institutions, the National Institutes of Technology and five Central universities.
- The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes have been fighting for dignity and the right of employment in the private sector and reservation with respect to Class I posts including those of Secretary to the Government.
- The Bill in its present form nullifies the instructions issued for reservation in teaching posts such as Reader and Professor in universities and institutions in 2005 by the Ministry of Human Resource Development and other Departments / Ministries of Government. The government has sidelined the Union Public Service Commission and stopped consulting it with regard to scientific and technical posts.
- The upward movement towards progress of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes are making progress through democratic movements in the 21st century. Such kind of detrimental and damaging legislations would serve as stumbling block in getting adequate representation for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes at all levels of employment.
- The new Bill has created a situation with which at one stroke, the historic efforts of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and the founding fathers of the Constitution are defeated and brushed aside.
- The Bill needs a thorough recasting by removing the restraining and preventive references and needs to be enacted as a progressive and landmark Legislation ushering a new era of social justice and empowerment for the exploited and have-nots in the social fabric of society of this country.
13. Section 4:
Earlier, when the bill was referred to the Standing Committee, sub section 4(1) of the Bill did not have anti-reservation provisions such as the Schedule containing 47 institutions. Now sub section 4(1) provides for no reservation where appointments are made for;
- A period of less than 45 days;
- To posts required for any emergency relief work;
- To posts qualified as scientific or technical posts, and to posts in "institutions of national importance" and the IIMs specified in an attached Schedule.
- The Schedule lists 47 institutions, but it can be expanded through a Notification by the Central Government without going to Parliament again.
All above provisions are detrimental to the interests of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes.
14. New Terminology “Institutions of National Importance” to rob reservation:
As of now, there is no concept of "Institutes of National Importance", this is new weapon invented by anti-reservationists to limit reservation. The proposed Bill vests unbridled power in the hands of Executive to declare any institution as “Institution of National Importance”. This is mischievous move is to curtail reservation.
15. New Definition to the disadvantage of Scheduled Castes / Scheduled Tribes
Defining of term "Scientific and Technical" and its resultant applicability has been framed to the disadvantage of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes. The definition says that all those posts for which the qualifications are from Natural Sciences, Exact Sciences, Applied Sciences and Technology and for which their knowledge is essential for the performance of duties are "Scientific and Technical posts." This means there will be no entry for the Scheduled Caste and the Scheduled Tribes in specified public sector undertakings or the 54 Mini-Ratnas or those PSUs where the minimum qualification for a job is a B.Sc. or M. Sc. in a Science subject, or in an Applied Science such as Microbiology, or M.B.B.S or B.Tech. or M.Tech. or say any degree in Science. Thus blocking the entry of Scheduled Castes and Tribes into specified PSUs and listed 47 Educational Institutions.
16. Unbridled powers in the hands of Executives and Bureaucracy to limit Reservation:
The Bill proposes to vests unhindered powers in the hands of Bureaucracy to declare an applicant fit or unfit. This provision is feared to be used abundantly against the candidates of Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes to declare them "unfit" for any job.
17. Section 9
Section 9 of the Bill gives unchecked power to recruiting authorities to set down three kinds of qualifications.
- The First is "essential qualification" meaning a basic degree in the required discipline.
- The Second is "desirable qualifications," such as experience and so on.
- The Third one is the concept of "suitability."
There is no need to stipulate suitability as a different criterion. Moreover, suitability does not have much role to play when the candidate possesses the required essential qualifications. The expression “Suitability” is a dangerous expression and under the guise of this wicked expression, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribe candidates would be declared unsuitable despite essential Qualifications and Desirable qualifications.
By introducing Clause 9 in the Bill, the present Executive has embedded a final nail into the coffin of Reservation for the SCs / STs.
18. Section 18
Under this Section, the bureaucracy gets the license to willfully deny the benefits of reservation, as there is no provision for punishment.
- Who will initiate Departmental Action?
- Who will prove the actions to be intentional?
- From where and how the evidence on intentions would be found?
- What is the time frame to complete inquiry?
19. Provision for imprisonment and fine must for violation of Section 18:
In a society where there is inherent hatred physical as well as mental and psychological towards Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes, it is difficult to prove the intentions of a guilty person even in Departmental inquiry.
The violations or non-implementation of provisions of reservation shall be treated at par with crime against humanity. This is also required due to the fact that till now there has not been any known case of punishment given to an officer for violating or not implementing the instructions on reservation.
As in the case of Section 16 and Section 17 provision had been made for imprisonment and fine, on the same lines, provision may be enacted for Section 18 also. This will serve as deterrent and will place some fear in the mind of concerned authorities.
Will the Lok Sabha now discuss the Bill in this perspective and recast the same by removing adverse provisions such as Clause 4(1), Clause 9 and 18 and enact a legislation that enables fulfillment of Constitutional vision and aspirations of creating an egalitarian society on strong democratic foundations?

Italy ( Madho Balvira ):- Mr. C. L. Chumber said at this occasion that Adi Mahaguru Ravidass was not a casteist as he proclaimed " Namdev , Kabir , Tarlochan , Sadhna , Sain tarey " and " kahe re man Valmikeh dekh , kis jat te kis uttam pad paaeyo " . These socio-religious Adi Mahagurus were not Adi Mahaguru Ravidass` co-caste fellows! He projected them as they all were among the Indian aboriginals and theirs teachings were based on equality, quality, equity, liberty, fraternity and justice for all! Adi Mahaguru Ravidass proclaimed “Begampura Shahar Ka Nao " an ideal state and the issues in this Shabad are fully adopted by the present constitution drafted by the constituent assembly under the chairmanship of Baba Saheb Ambedkar who also dedicated one book to Guru Ji including Adi Mahagurus Chokha Mela and Nand Nar ! Guru Ji proclaimed that untouchables’s sufferings are due to the lost of their political power," Achhut Raj Bicharat Dukh Paayeo.”
Mr. Chumber continued that Adi-Dharam’s founder Adi Mahababa Mangu Ram Muggowalia ( 1886-1980 ad ) wrote " Adi Dharam Mandal report 1931 " in which he wrote that Maharishi Valmiki , Guru Namdev , guru Ravidass and Guru Kabir are our Adi-Dharam’s Gurus. He wrote “Adi-Parkash Asankhdeep Granth " is our religious scripture. Third, “Soham " is our religious word to recite. Fourth, every Adi Dharami must wish “Jai Gurdev “and next will wish with “Dhan Gurdev." (For more detail read http: //www. ambedkartimes.com & http://ambedkartimes.org (for Punjabi)).
Mata Dalvir Kaur Ji , Gaddi-Nashin ( head ) , Dera Satguru Swami Ishwar Dass Ji Maharaj , Anand Garh , said ," the " Sohang " is our real and original legitimate religious " word " as Mr. Chumber elaborated it. We must stand on it firmly and our Dera published “the Adi Parkash Granth for Adi-Dharmi.!” Mr. Chanan Ram Dhanda said, " we are proud of Baba Muggowalia who was born just 5 kilometers away from us and started Guru Ji`s religious procession first ever in the universe in 1928 ad at Jalandhar city when Guru Ji `s Kashi forget him . The manuwadis attacked on procession at jaggu chowk. Second day, the Adi Dharamis and Muslims procession and beaten the manuwadis. They fled away with open shops!

In Bhiwani (Haryana), after dragging their feet in a five-month old case in which a Dalit girl was allegedly raped before being murdered, on this Saturday, arrested one of the eleven accused who were named by the distressed father Mr. Rati Ram before ending his life two days ago, giving up on the law of land and his uphill fight for justice.
OUR COMMENTS: The law making and law enforcing agencies as well as the oppressed Dalits are under the shadow of Manuwadi mentality in India! The so called Dalit leadership is the stooge of the manuwadi system .Their attitude is , " ' Khaao pio aish karo mittro , dil kise da (of Manuwaid ) dukhayio na ' means loot the layman , enjoy with the donations collected from the Dalits as well treacherous money donated by the Manuwadis and do not disturb the system ! " The Bhiwani police concerned officials must be booked and put behind the bars for their passiveness which compelled a father to take such a drastic step. I condemn the father step and he must had to follow the brave lady Phulan Devi who took revenge from the 14 rapists thakurs by killing them openly .We must get justice from the established judicial system , if we fail to get justice then it is our human right to announce our judgment ! We must learn from the Sikhs!
* The Talibans have captured some area of the Pakistan and Pakistan is fighting for survival - Mr. Zardari , President of Pakistan .
OUR COMMENTS: Mr. Nathu Ram Godse wrote his will," The river Indus (Sindhu), on the banks of which our pre-historic Rishis composed the Vedas is the boundary of our Bharatvarsha i.e. Hindustan. My ashes may be sunk in the Holy Sindhu River when she will again flow freely under the aegis of the flag of Hindustan. That will be the sacred day for us. It hardly matters EVEN IF IT TOOK A COUPLE OF GENERATIONS FOR REALISING MY WISH. PERSERVE THE ASHES TILL THEN, AND IF THAT DAY WOULD NOT DAWN IN YOUR LIFE TIME, PASS ON THE REMAINS TO POSTERITY FOR TRANSLATING MY DESIRE INTO REALITY! " .Mr. Godse signed this statement on 14th November,1949 and was executed on 15th November,1949 for murdering Mr. M. K. Gandhi .( ref. may it please your honour by Nathu Ram Godse , Surya Bharati Parkashan, Nai sarak , New Delhi , Ph.3266412 ).
M/s. Godses killed Mr. Gandhi a Bania third class in manuwadi system to establish the Manuwadi system under a Brahmin Mr. J.L. Nehru who arranged to got elected more than 50 percent Brahmin MPs. Now, we come to Mr. Barrack Hussain Obama cabinet where Manuwadis succeeded but how many representations to Indian Sikhs, SCs/OBCs, S/Ts, and Muslims! And they (Manuwadis) manuplated US government to stop aids to Pakistan to weaken economically to fulfill the will of Mr. Nathu Ram Godse!!!!! We admit that Pakistan is a mismanaged state but India is also where the aboriginal Indians are still slaves and live in hell!!!!! Is it not true?? ? ? ?.
*Guru Nanak Mission Hospital , Dhahan Kaler ( Nawan Shahar / SBS Nagar ) in Punjab runs into rough weather due to infighting in the management trust which is the most prestigious and biggest organised by the Punjabi NRIs .

*The political battle between Congress and SAD (B) increasingly turning into a feud between two political families Badals and Patiala royals - Amrinder Singh, ex CM of Punjab.
OUR COMMENTS: But there are two simiraties between them - both belong to Jatts caste with prejudice to SCs/ OBCs and established theirs dynasties to doge the democratic norms. Both did not implement the Mandal Commission Report which is constitutional! Both showed disrespect to the constitution as well as the teachings of Guru Granth Sahib!!!!!
*The CPM objected to change in foreign direct investment (FDI) norms, calling it a “contept of House” when the the matter was under consideration of a parliamentary standing committee.
*The manuwadis opposed the Valentine Day by force and beaten the youths.
OUR COMMENTS: These manuwadis worship Karishna with his beloved Radha in theirs temples. It is noteworthy that Krishna deserted his wife Rukamani like Rama who also banished his innocent and pious wife Sita. Brahma also deserted his wife who cursed Brahma! The manuwadis do so to ignore the other day to day problems of masses!
The differences have cropped up between the Punjab Governor, General S.F. Rodrigues (Retd.), and state government over grant of pardon to convicts, with the Governor asking it not to send cases in which appeals are still pending in the courts!

OUR COMMENTS: My plot of one kanal (824, urban estate, phase 2, Jalandhar city) resumed due to my political activities. The order was passed in February, 1989 to blackmail me politically but when I did not surrender, the order was posted to me in august, 1989. I appealed to the administrator, Punjab Urban Development Authority (PUDA) but was rejected under political pressure. In 1997 assembly election, I made speeches against the main rival political leader and he lost the election but the in-charge of election of that constituency declared him won with written approval of our BSP candidate! He won and sent his PA to my house to meet the rival minister and got the plot reinstated. I said," the ultimate aim of our party is to rule India. One kanal is nothing as compared to our sweet country to liberate which from the clutches of the manuwadi Indo Aryans.” The runner up candidate went to high court but in vain. Our candidate himself told this story to me when he came to inquire my health with another politician of our party in the DMC hospital, Ludhiana during my admission on being injured in the plotted accident at Phagwara on 7th February, 1997.
Now our candidate defected to the sad party and is parliamentary secretary by defeating my rival and his companion is member of Rajya Sabha from U.P. my rival politician now charge sheeted by the court with a former CM of Punjab.
Once Sahib Kanshi Ram Ji visited our home and he also inquired about it. My wife said in a joking mood," we have sacrificed one kanal plot to fulfill the ultimatum dream of your good self to rule India; otherwise we have no dispute with anyone! We want India of equality, liberty, fraternity and justice to every one." Sahib Kanshi Ram Ji said," to be a winner, all you need to give is, all you have! " Our socio / political freedom fighters even sacrificed the last drop of theirs veins but we are thankless!
*The Punjab & Haryana High court dismissed the petition of Advocate B.S. Dhillon against Mrs. Rajinder Kaur Bhathal ex CM and opposition leader of the Punjab Assembly.
*Capt. Amrinder Singh ex CM complained against the Punjab vigilance department .The Ludhiana court will hear on 21st instant.
*Mr. Som Parkash IAS who resigned to contest Lok Sabha constituency Hoshiarpur ( Punjab) as BJP candidate is not relieved from service but he shared dais with Mr. P.S. Badal, CM at Hoshiarpur. Mr. Amrinder Singh ex CM criticized this episode .Mr. Som Parkash clarified that it was a development rally and any officer can join development rally. But Mr. Som Parkash must know that Mr. Badal every where criticize the main opposition Congress party and appeal to the people to vote for SAD & BJP alliance. Both Congress and Akali governments misused the government treasury to influence the voters politically. The Audit department objectioned that the previous Badal Government grants without any planning .Both parties encourages the village Panchayats to misuse the government funds to consolidate theirs political roots .Sometimes honest Sarpanches are suspended.
*The A Pee Jay and MGN Schools of Jalandhar violated the lease norms. Mr. Sanjay Sehgal, vice president of district Jalandhar, who obtained the information from the local Improvement Trust demanded," If these schools are using government land for almost nothing (Rs. one and Rs. six hundreds per annum for 42 kanals and 14 marls to A Pee Jay and Rs. six hundreds for MGN) then they should provide education to weaker sections (SCs / STs) also." This is not the Jalandhar case only, every where in India private schools allotted govt. land with condition to enroll weaker section students but they did nothing .It is a clear case of fraud and the trustees of both schools at Jalandhar and any where in India must be booked under fraud and put behind bars.

*This month, Mr. Martin Luther King Jr. 3 s/o Dr. Martin Luther King will visit India to commemorate the Golden Jubilee of his father visit to India fifty years ago. This tour will be sponsored by the U.S. department of state. Dr. King was deeply influenced by the Non violent philosophy of Mr. M. K. Gandhi.
The US House of Representative today unanimously passed a resolution recognizing the influence Mahatma Gandhi had on Martin Luther King Jr., the great civil rights leader of the United States of America who has been a source of inspiration to President Mr. Barack Obama. Passed by a roll call vote of 406 to 0, with 26 abstaining, the resolution commemorates the 50th anniversary of King's visit to India in 1959.
OUR COMMENTS: Mr. M.K. Gandhi was not a non violent apostle. He was a staunch follower of the Hinduism of which all Gods were rapists or racists or fascists. (Please visit http://dalitnation.wordpress.com ). He used the fast unto death weapon against the untouchables of India to continue their slavery. Mr. Gandhi was admirer of Ram and Ram Rajya who slaughtered the pious and innocent Shudra saint Shambuk being Shudra as well as doing Bhakti. King Ram of Ayodhya even banished his innocent and pious pregnant wife Sita! (Ref. Bhagwan Valmiki Ramayana, the Uttar Kand / chapter).Therefore the follower of fascist (s) can not be non violent. Mr. Gandhi was well exposed by Bharat Rattan Baba Saheb Dr. B.R. Ambedkar in his book “What Congress and Mr. Gandhi have done to the Untouchables." now published by the education department of the Maharashtra Government, Maharashtra .The NRIs of USA must hand over this book to every senator of USA and Dr. Martin Luther King family!
*Noted Indian Classical vocalist Pandit Bhim Sen Joshi (87) was presented with the Bharat Rattna Award, at his residence at Pune ( Maharashtra).
*The session of the Lok Sabha (lower house of the parliament) will begin to day.
*The Supreme Court registry employees and a lawyer and have been arrested by the CBI on charges of demanding and accepting Rs. Twenty five thousands as bribe from a NRI doctor to facilitate early listing of a criminal appeal!
OUR COMMENTS: Indians ARE LIVING IN A HELL SINCE THE ADVENT OF THE ARYANS. EVEN YOU CAN NOT DISBURSE THE DEAD BODY REMAINS TO IMMERSE IN THE RIVERS AT HARDWAR ETC. WITHOUT GIVING BRIBES TO THE PANDAS!
*The Students of the Jawahar Lal Nehru University, New Delhi demonstrated against the commercialization of the education by the university.
OUR COMMENTS: The manuwadi system at present is banning the poors to get education. Even the middle class parents have to take heavy higher study loans at even 12 percent interest. I have to pledge my house for my children education. But the Eklavyas will be produced whatever may be at the cost of our lives to liberate our future generations for ever by requiring education.
*Mrs. Ambika Soni , Union Minister , Mr. Mohinder Singh Kay Pee, president of the Punjab Congress, Mrs. Rajinder Kaur Bhathal leader of the opposition in the Punjab Assembly and Capt. Amrinder Singh former CM and in charge of the Congress Campaigning committee , Punjab demanded the deployment of the central forces during the coming parliamentary election in a press conference at Delhi .
OUR COMMENTS: Why not the army, para military forces and police be deployed at the each poling booth and locality so that no one can compel or allure any one to caste vote to his / her party? In 1991, the Punjab Assembly election was postponed on the morning of poling. The CID reports said that BSP may win sixty three seats as per the Indian Express News which I read. The Congress party boycotted that election and the dalits had no option to cast vote other than BSP. Then the election for Punjab Assembly election held in Feb.1992 and the Congress was a player and the Akali Dal was a spayer (boycotted). The BSP won 9 seats equivalent to the percentage (13 pc) of BSP seats in UP. But as per sources the congress party killed about twenty workers of BSP at Noormahal ( Jalandhar ) , Jaspal Bangar ( Ludhiana ) and Dabhali ( Ropar ) districts two day before the polling day otherwise BSP might not lost Noormahal , Nakodar and Phillaur seats by 1000 to 3000 margins . Then a candidate was elected with only 400 votes. In Jandiala Guru ( Amritsar), BSP candidate Mr. Sardul Singh Nona won but the administration declared Mr. Sardul Singh of Congress. The problem is that we are not still democratic and constitutional minded .We wants to win by hook and crook which will lead to India in blood shed civil war. All parties including BSP ignored the dedicated but poor workers in this dirty game in the name of democracy. Even BSP ignored the martyrs of 1992 and 1997 Punjab A ssembly elections. A Punjabi poet Mr. Ferozedin Sharaf rightly said , " 'Saraf ' khoon gariban de nuchar jaandey , mehandi hornan de hathin lagg di ai " means the poor people struggle so much hard that even no drop of blood left in theirs veins but the credit goes to others !"
*The Gorakh Pur (U.P.) police registered a case of murder against Mr. Mahavir Parshad, a union minister as per the directions of the Allahabad Court.
* The Central Bureau of Investigation means ' the Congress Bureau of Investigation ‘! Mr. Amar Singh, general secretary of the Samajwadi Party main opposition party in U.P. He again blamed that the Congress part do not like the regional parties.
* The Punjab Vigilance Bureau submitted charge sheet in the court against Capt. Amrinder Singh former CM and Chaudhury Jagjit Singh former Local Bodies’ Minister. The Bureau now registered a fresh case against Capt. and his son on 11th Feb. at Mohali Phase 1 police station having routed ill gotten money through a defunct company. The petition filed by him against expulsion from his assembly seat in the Supreme Court now referred to a constitution bench.
*Mr. Karunanidhi, CM of Tamil Nadu underwent a successful surgery to relive pain in the spinal cord and his condition is stable.
*The hearing of the court case in the Mohali court against Mr. Parkash Singh Badal, CM, Punjab , his son Mr. S.S. Badal, Deputy CM and Mrs. Surinder Kaur Badal w/o Mr. P.S. Badal on charges of corruption and disproportionate assets. |

The Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee, Amritsar celebrated the birth anniversary of Adi Mahaguru Ravidas by holding a special Adi Gurbani Kirtan at the Diwan Hall, Amritsar on the Golden Temple complex on 9th instant. But the Guru Ji was announced as “Bhagat “Ravidas! OUR COMMENTS: In Punjabi there are provers: Safai Vich Khudai means the cleanliness is next to God but the people hate who are engaged in sweeping and tanning / leather professions by saying them as “CHUHARH CHARHAMM “! Second is: Ann parmeshwar hai means the food is God but the people hate the farmers saying as “JATT BOOT “! Third, everyone is appreciating the furniture made by a carpenter but he is degraded by saying as “GULLI GHARHA “! Every Sikh bestow to the Guru Granth Saheb as their GURU. If the Gurbani is GURU then the writers of these heavenly bani must be MAHAGURU! Then what is the dispute of Guru and Bhagat. We think the manuwadis Sikhs still treat even their ex untouchable GURUS as UNTOUCHABLES! We must dynamite this thinking and let down them politically by democratically means and expose them in every where in the universe as we are exposing Hindu manuwadis!
* Everywhere in India especially in North India the followers of Adi Mahaguru Ravidas Ji celebrated Gurpurb with Shobha Yatras and functions in the Guru Ravidas Gurdwaras. OUR COMMENTS : There was untouchability in the Punjab even in the Golden Temple , Amritsar upto 12th October , 1920 .( Reference : The Gurdwara Reforms Movements by Ruchi Ram Sahni in English , Gurdwara Sudhar Lehar published by SGPC , AMRITSAR ) . Therefore Baba Mangu Ram Muggowalia former Gadhrite and founder of the Adi Dharam Mandal initiated the first ever Shobha yatra in 1927 AD in Jalandhar City so that people may unite under the religious banner to walk on roads freely with pride. The Hindus/Brahmins attacked in the Jaggu Chowk, Jalandhar City. Baba Muggowalia and Muslims sit together and dared to march on roads on the same rout in the Shobha Yatra having Photo of Guru Ji .Then the Adi Dharamis and Muslims jointly dared to beat the same shopkeepers who attacked on the Shobha Yatra previous day. The Hindus / Brahmins / Banias shopkeepers fled away .This was the first show of strength to challenge the manuwadis on roads. Now this Shobha Yatra is reaching in the Parliament House to implement the BEGAM PURA!!!!!

Friend,
It is late night, but I have my human rights concern which is driving me to address the gross violation of basic rights of the most underprivileged of this society. Sorry to say that the judiciary is also part of this inhuman act. I hope all of you take appropriate measures according to your utmost limitations. Please have a look the attachment. Tomorrow at 9am (IST) 5000 people mostly belong to Dalits, are going to evacuated from their place of residence for 100 years.
Looking forward.

Respected Sir,
With grave concern I am writing to you for your immediate intervention following the fact that to-day at about 3.00 p.m. we got news that more 5000 people are going to be evicted from their lawful possession near Belgachia Bhagar ( Howrah Municipal Dumping Ground) under police station Liluah, District-Howrah. We also came to know that this eviction drive is going to take place by an order passed by the Hon’ble Court . We immediately proceeded to the place where the eviction drive is probably scheduled to take place on 14.1.2009 and found that peoples residing there are aggrieved by the decision. They also vehemently informed us that their predecessors and they have been staying in that area for more than 100 years. They also claimed to possess valid and legal documents of proof of their Indian citizenship as well as residence. They are mourned by the decision of the court and stated that they were not made aware of the decision of the Hon’ble court and also not joined as party to place their version in the proceeding of the Hon’ble Court where the decision of eviction was taken. It also the genuine grievance of the thousands of the people who are going to be evicted that they were not served upon any prior notice of eviction except one announcement was made two days earlier by microphone. The civil administration is also tight lipped over the forthcoming eviction drive. We several times tried to contact with the Office of District Magistrate, Howrah , Superintendent of Police, Howrah and also the Officer-in-Charge of Liluah Police Station but nobody is willing to impart the information related with case /judgment and also the proposed time of eviction.
But we came to know from a reliable source that that the Writ petition was filed by one Mr. Subhas Dutta, and in connection with W.P. No. 15206 (W) of 2002 case, the court passed that impugned order after hearing the matter for last 6 years.
According to our fact finding at least 5 Hindu temples, 3 government aided non-formal education centers for poor and under privileged children, out of which one NCLP (National Child Labour Project) school where the District Magistrate happens to be the Chairman of the said Project are going to be demolished. We also want to bring your judicious notice that at least 6 sources of potable water was within the area which was going to be demolished. Thereto provided by the Howrah Municipal Corporation, which was also the Defendant of the said writ petition.
Needless to mention here that it was reflected in so many judgments delivered of the Hon’ble Court that no one to be evicted from his possession until and unless due process of law and the person to be evicted must be given a reasonable opportunity of fair hearing in the proceeding( ad-alterem pertem). But in this case where the question of rights to livelihood and residence are involved, those 5000 people were not even made a party in the said litigation and neither the government nor the court felt it necessary. But those people and their family members with children who are going to be evicted with the sanction of law in this winter season left to their fate and to an un-destined future. Perhaps only because they are all Dalits people, manual scavengers and poor.
We are already experienced with another eviction drive which was carried out on 2.2.2003 at Belilious Park , Howrah where around 7,000 people were evicted who were also Dalits, Manual scavengers and poor. The said eviction was also done under the sanction of law through an order passed by the Calcutta High Court, presided by the then Chief Justice. And now we see that one multi storied building was erected there facilitating the multi national companies to earn profit.
Neither the court concerned nor the government and municipal administration arranged for any once rehabilitation. It is our hard earned experience as an organisation that some interested profit earning section are hell bound to grab lands in several parts of Howrah/West Bengal under guises of beautification, pollution free area, development, etc. and to make these lands into profit earning machine.
We strongly oppose this type of justice delivery system which violates basic principles of natural justice, which violates Article 21 of our Constitution, which allowed real estate businessmen, land mafias, section of politicians and some corrupt government employees to make their countless money.
We still convey our faith in our Constitution, judicial system, United Nations’ Conventions and declarations and for those reasons we appeal to your conscience to postpone the process of eviction for few days and in between that time we cordially pray before you to have a fair hearing making a party of those 5000 people or their representatives and us to save the judiciary from a great wrong doing.
With due regards
Kirity Roy

A MORAL MAN, A FAILURE
- Not good in politics, V.P. Singh’s success lay elsewhere Cutting Corners
- Ashok Mitra
http://www.telegraphindia.com/1081219/jsp/opinion/story_10272871.jsp
The distant 1950s, Vinoba Bhave and bhoodan were still taken at their face value. For the talukdars of Uttar Pradesh, it was a rollickingly joyous time. Each one’s eye on a Congress ticket for a parliamentary seat, they would line up to gift away land to the Acharya. On several occasions, the donated land, it was subsequently discovered, either happened to be disputed property, with pending court proceedings, or belonged to someone else. One talukdar stood out in this dubious crowd. He was the young Raja of Manda, Vishwanath Pratap Singh, not yet quite out of his twenties. He gifted away most of his land, land that genuinely belonged to him. His compeers would, behind his back, make fun of his naïveté. That did not ruffle him. He was well-bred, well-read and imbued with loads of idealism. Perhaps he suffered from a bad conscience as well, living in a sea of luxury while all around it was indescribable destitution and poverty. Jawaharlal Nehru was prime minister, and had a bewitching influence on the young idealist. It was therefore natural for Vishwanath Pratap Singh to sign the Congress pledge and proudly don the Gandhi cap. He was not the only feudal scion to do so. But, once again unlike most of the others, he had no political ambition; he preferred to be a quiet backroom boy in the party precincts.
He was not allowed to stick to his preference. As the years rolled by, the Congress became more and more wobbly. It was at no time short of either busybodies or sycophants, but it lacked a competent brigade which could prove its mettle in administration. Indira Gandhi, the shrewdest of politicians, had a sharp eye and could sort out the wheat from the chaff. She drew V.P. Singh into her closer circle. If one had sprung from Oudh valley, grown up in those dream-laden seasons of the inter-war years and now and then dropped in at Anand Bhavan in Allahabad, reverence for the Nehru-Gandhis could not easily peter out. Vishwanath Pratap Singh’s loyalty withstood the buffeting of the Emergency. Indira Gandhi was back in power in the 1980s. V.P. succumbed to her coaxing and plunged into governance.
Suddenly, it was limelight for him. The lady soon picked him for the chief ministerial slot in UP. Those were trying times in the state: anti-Muslim riots instigated by the state constabulary, besides allegations, often genuine, of the police gunning down innocent people in the name of anti-robbery operations. V.P. fought hard against the malignant forces that were a-gathering, but did not altogether succeed. There was still no question that he could be firm when firmness was called for. He blended this firmness with both informality and an innate sense of courtesy hitherto altogether unknown in the prevalent administrative structure. After about two years as chief minister, he quit on a moral ground: scores of Dalits were massacred on the outskirts of Kanpur and he was unable to give them protection. He was, he openly admitted, a failure as the state’s administrative head and had no right to continue. Indira Gandhi failed to budge him.
It was a ludicrous phenomenon: a man of principle in the muddy waters of Indian politics in the final quarter of the 20th century. Such a man had to live a perilous existence. Indira Gandhi’s elder son, installed as prime minister after his mother’s assassination,
committed two successive errors of judgment. He named Vishwanath Pratap Singh as the country’s finance minister. V.P. was picked because of his competence, but the underlying assumption — unswerving loyalty to the dynasty — must have been a factor too. The newly installed finance minister, foolhardy to the core, ordered raids against tax-evading industrialists and businessmen who contributed heavily to Congress party coffers.
The prime minister hastily shifted V.P. to the defence portfolio. A man of principle, however, spells trouble wherever he goes. V.P. Singh
could not swallow Bofors. Were he a run-of-the-mill politician, he might have been persuaded to reach a practical conclusion: a political party needs funds, it is legitimate for a party in power to collect funds by availing of the opportunity being in government provides; a commission claimed — and conceded — on defence contracts is a reality all over the world, it could hardly be otherwise in India. V.P. Singh, nonetheless, considered Bofors to be an outrage. He chose to opt for integrity, scuttling loyalty to the Nehru-Gandhis. There must have been a searing of the heart as he reached the decision, but a man of principle could not afford to waver where the issue was one of
morality.
He had his hour of glory and found himself installed as prime minister in 1989. He could hardly be a happy man though. It was not possible for a conscientious person to be happy while wearing a crown of thorns. V.P. was heading a precarious coalition with the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Left lending support from outside. Sorting out the heterogeneities within the government was an exhausting exercise. In this situation, traditional wisdom would suggest that he not disturb any hornets’ nests. But V.P.’s thoughts always ran contrary to conventional wisdom. Despite its several negative features, the Mandal Commission report, he was convinced, made one essential point: a substantial segment of the nation continued to be deprived of the opportunities a free and democratic India was supposed to provide every citizen. The other backward classes was not the only group wronged, but why not make a beginning by at least offering them a gesture?
Implementing the Mandal Commission’s recommendations was akin to opening Pandora’s box. V.P. proceeded to commit the folly. In the
ensuing confusion, there was no dearth of people to put a knife into Vishwanath Pratap Singh. The system has been at the receiving end of successive seismic shocks ever since. The centrestage no longer belonged to him. His government fell, he withdrew himself with great dignity and was no part of the conspiracies and double-dealings that have been a constant in Indian politics over the past decade- and-a half. This was also the time a terminal illness crept into his body; he somehow survived with the help of regular dialysis and bouts of rest. He would now and then return to the arena to battle for public causes he strongly believed in: communal harmony, protection for the nation’s minorities, the dignity of human rights, ensuring a new era for the adivasis and the Dalits, the most rightful inheritors of the
great terrain known as India.
Meanwhile, the Janata Dal he had once led had splintered; nincompoops, careerists and opportunists had gone their different ways. Vishwanath Pratap Singh tilled a lonely furrow: he would, however, be there once he felt that the cause was right.
He passed away on November 27 last. It was, one might think, the worst possible day he could have chosen to take his bow, with the nation in the grip of the trauma of global terror. On the other hand, he would conceivably have liked nothing better. He was a man of principle, he was also a man of great civilization, with intense distaste for flamboyance.
Well, the departed gentleman was, on general reckoning, an unsuccessful politician. And yet, he, more than anybody else, was responsible for the shift of the nation’s centre of political gravity, initially to the OBCs and subsequently, through an inexorable chain effect, to the resurgent Dalits. Success has a weird connotation.

Among those who were present at the swearing-in ceremony were Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda; president of the Haryana Congress Phool Chand Mullana; working president of the Haryana Congress Kuldeep Sharma, education minister Mange Ram Gupta; industries minister Lachhman Dass Arora; chief parliamentary secretary Dharambir and family members of the newly appointed members of the HPSC.
