Reservation by the Govt is provided for people who are under-developed and backward.They may belong to any religion or caste or creed or race-that should not matter.The main motive is upliftment of individual by providing AID....so this should be irrespective of caste creed and religion if he is an Indian.
The Supreme court direction to see the possibnlities of Including Dalit Chistians is a great one. As far as I know the Dalit christians has been living in a ver destress conditions and it is a high time that the parlament should amend thebill and include Dalit Christians .
There cannot be any Dalits in any other religion than Hinduism. The Dalits who were formerly Hindus, perhaps a hundred years ago or less, were converted to mmostly the Christian faith. The Christian missionaries, amongst other lures, also appealed to their sense of pride, which as Hindus they found crushed under an unjust caste system. If I was born a HINDU Dalit, I would have converted to another religion wherby I would have been no more a Dalit, and thats why many Dalits converted too, so they could be Dalits NO MORE.
So, where have we got Christian Dalits from? Christiany claims to be caste free. Sects, yes, castes, no. So there cannot be any dalits other than Hindu dalits. The question of reservations for dalits other than Hindus does not arise. If any Christians wish to claim the benefits earmarked for dalits, they should properly denounce that converting to Christianity was a fraud perpetrated on them or their ancestors, a promise betrayed - then re-convert to Hinduism.
sir, if govt can give dalit shikh,buddists sc/st status what is wrong to to give same status to all religions.this clearly shows how bjp has been anti christians all these years after getting educated in their institutes.I request all those belong to bajrang dal Bjp and other parties anti christian please do nort send your children to christian institute if you truly love your hindu religion.I hope supream court will give a good judgement in favour of christian dalits.
In my Opinion, Dalits who get converted to Christianity are no longer Dalits, because Chritianity doesn't have any dalit discrimination in it, now does it? When they are so proud of their non discrimination policy, why give them the privilages of it? So, Dalit Christians should NOT get any kind of reservation.
In fairness of natural justice and equality, why not the Central and State Governments of India implement the reservations for SC,ST,BCs, Minorities in the military services? Why military services are deprived of the reservation policy as is done for civil services? The Centre for Public Interest Litigation should fight out the case at the highest court of judicature to direct the central government to make the reservations compulsory and monitor its implementation.
