With all the right digenesis of the problems the writer himself fails to impress upon a right solution and instead chose to fall back on reservation. by saying the following. "For the empowerment of Dalits what is needed is reservation in the private sector, filling up backlog posts, enacting the Reservation Act, land reforms, reservation in judiciary and the armed forces ...", Did he try to answer why there are reserved posts in govt depts. remains vacant, while hundred and thousands of dalit are job less. You extend the same logic and post in Pvt. sector will also remain vacant if they are reserved. Dalits are not to be served by the leader who just provide lip services and fancy and easy looking solution. We need to stress more on education and basic upliftment.
Dr. Raj rather then telling some body that on 10th floor of the building we have nice suite reserved for you, but there is no power and elevator will not work, please concentrate on making the weaker sections in our society strong fundamentally. What we need a strong hand to support and not a spoon to feed.
