Reservation for Dalit
by Mandeep on Dec 06, 2006 01:16 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The writer has done good analysis of the situation but I wonder why is advocating reservations? Reservation is not a solution of any "Dalit". In real situation middle class SC/Sts has taken the advantages of reservation and have become wealthy and powerful. State is again giving the benefit of reservation to their wards. Do they require benefits of reservation when their parents are at influential positions in the society?
At the same time dalits who are poor or living in rural area can not go to school in absence motivation/ money. Here lies the mantra of their upliftment. These politicians or NGO should really work on this agenda by providing them good quality education free of cost. Unless we educate them, they are not going to be accepted by the upper crust society.The Politicians like Mayawati has done nothing accept filling moneyboxes.
Instead of showing unity in rioting and disruption of normal life in Country, these dalits need to be united to get self upliftment by opening schools and sending their wards to school...we can call it as People's Movement...Like we had in Gujrat..called White Resolution and result is Amul Dairy which is a International brand.

How many inter-caste or inter-religious marriages are there in your family?
