Gherao for Reservation in private sector and the
Reservation Act Friends, The
All India Confederation of SC/ST Organizations firmly believes that the jobs
in the government are shrinking fast and eligible educated girls and boys of
our society are not getting employment. More jobs are being created in
private sector where our entry is banned. So long as reservation is not
extended to private sector, situation will become bad to worse. For, not only
Brahminical forces are responsible but us also. The
present UPA govt. is in power for more than 4½ years but promised demands
like extension of reservation to private sector, filling up of backlog posts,
enactment of Reservation Act and land to the landless in the Common Minimum Programme have not been met. The way the employees in the
country got united for cancel- lation of
anti-reservation orders, similar zeal is again required for achieving above
rights. Aren't most of employees selfish? When their personal benefits like
promotions and se- niority were affected, they
participated and struggled. Since current demands are for whole society, most
of employees and officers are not coming forward. Some
major demands like reservation in higher judiciary, validity of caste
certificate of one state in other states, financial, administrative and
judicial autonomy to the SC and ST Commission, participation in army, time
bound promotion and ban of contractual system in Safai
Karmacharies are yet to be achieved despite
struggle for years. Overall
apathy has crept in the minds of employees in last five-six years and it is a
suicidal tendency and that has to be fought out. Negative tendency has also
increased. Some of employees and a section of society are deliberately
blaming that Dr. Udit Raj
has floated Indian Justice Party. Instead of criticizing him, they should
thank him that he is not an opportunist and living solely for political power
but whatever previous and current challenges were undertaken by his
leadership, he is fulfilling them from the platform of All India
Confederation of SC/ST Organizations. Globalization and privatization has
further widened the gap between poor and rich. More and more quality and
English education is being created in private sector and it is further
depriving dalits and poor children from a standard
education which can help them in securing better jobs and businesses. If we
are not part of the solution of our problem, we ourselves are the problem.
Those who do not fight for their rights and dignity, they are like dead. Dalits could barely make some progress through
reservation, meanwhile that has been put to halt through privatization and
globalization. They are yet to participate in media, industries, IT sector,
higher education, art and culture. Now the situation has come to that stage
that whatever gains and progress were achieved that is on the verge of peril.
According to National Crime Bureau Report (2006), every week 13 dalits are murdered , 5 dalits'
homes burnt, 6 dalits are kidnapped and 3 women are
raped every day, 11 dalits are beaten every day and
a crime is committed against a dalit every 18
minutes. These problems were represented by Confederation's Chairman-Dr.Udit Raj in United Nations
Human Right Council on 15th and 17th Sept, 08 at Since
rally is postponed due to adjournment of Parliament, printed posters,
handbills, wall writings and other materials have gone in waste and this has
doubled the expenditure. Thus the All India Confederation of SC/ST Organisations is struck by another crisis, i.e., finance,
so support and participate in the clarion call to protect and achieve the
rights and dignity. Assemble at Ramlila Maidan, By Indira Athawale, Bhaiya Shelare

of United Nations Human Rights Council at KAMLESH – A 6 YEARS OLD DALIT GIRL THROWN IN BURNING BUSH STILL REMAINS JUSTICE DELAY World got shocked by the news heading of a 6 years old Dalit girl thrown into burning bush by the upper caste villagers in India’s largest state of Uttar Pradesh, whose justice, even after three months, is still delay. A Fact Finding Team consists of an International Human Rights group met Kamlesh and her parents along with Dalit leaders from her village. The story of justice delay and the denial of medical and financial aid have been reported to the fact finding team. Full Story Conspiracy to kill
Dr. Udit Raj and his
movement on the fake plea of seeking additional security from the Centre
against threat to her own life. Ne Shri Vinod Kumar,
National Treasurer of the All India Confederation of SC/ST Organizations said
that Dr. Udit Raj is not
only the National President of the Indian Justice Party but also of the All
India Confederation of SC/ST Organizations. The Delhi Unit of the All India
Confederation of SC/ST Organizations has strongly condemned the brutalities
of the Uttar Pradesh Police on Dr. Udit Raj and other leaders which had been done at the instance
of Chief Minister Mayawati. Dr. Udit
Raj was humiliated and severely beaten while in
police custody. Such a shameful act had not happened even during Emergency.
Even criminals and anti-social elements feel secure once they are in police
custody but in this case the police itself had carried out the ghastly
criminal act. (Picture: Burning of the Efigy of

FOLLOWERS ANTI-DALITS
Dr. Udit Raj, National President, Indian
Justice Party, said in a statement today that UP Chief Minister Mayawati had branded all opposition parties as anti-Dalits yesterday. We demand from her as to why no action
was taken till 14.4.2008 against the BJP workers who had defaced and blackened
the photographs of Periyar and Dr. Ambedkar in the hoardings displayed near the IJP office,
threw stones and spat at these photographs on 13.4.2008. On 14.4.2008 in the
afternoon, IJP workers had assembled at Hazratganj
to celebrate the 117th birth anniversary of Dr. Ambedkar
and were condemning the disrespect shown to Ramaswami
Periyar. At about 2 PM, hundreds of IJP workers had
assembled at Darul Shafa
for holding a Dharna and discuss the issue relating
to the disrespect shown to Periyar when they were
stopped by the police, a scuffle took place between the workers and the
police followed by beating. Dr. Udit Raj said that after this incident, hundreds of IJP
workers were arrested and kept in the Lucknow
Police Lines. After detaining the workers for about seven hours, the Police
started asking them to go out one by one. Just when the workers were coming
out of the Police Lines, each one of them was mercilessly beaten. Eleven

the Great relief for farmers but dalits ignored Dr. Udit Raj, President of Indian Justice Party and All India Confederation of SC/ST Organisations, said in a press statement that in his budget for 2008-2009, the Finance Minister, Mr. P. Chidambaram, has made a provision for Rs. 60,000 crore for the waiver of loans and interest thereon to the farmers but nothing like that has been done for dalits. In this budget many sops have been given to farmers, small traders, users of small cars and income tax payers. These steps are welcome but nothing special has been done for Dalits and Adivasis. Investment in agriculture and infrastructure development are also commendable steps but the hopes of dalits and adivasis that there will be increase in the expenditure for special component plan for dalits and Adivasis in proportion to the population have been dashed to the ground. Full Story What is behind Hindu-Christian violence By Dan Isaacs BBC News, Orissa Hundreds of
families in a remote region of the eastern Indian state of Orissa remain
homeless and without support after a wave of violence swept the region last
month. The minority Christian community in Kandhamal
district, many of whom are forest tribal people and low-caste Dalit converts from Hinduism to to
Christianity, say they've been targeted by radical Hindu nationalist organisations seeking to put an end to the church and its
activities in the region. Full Story Indian Justice Party demands rehabilitation to the Kandhamal riots victims. Orissa government should allow the NGOs and other agencies to do relief Bubaneshwar January 15, 2008 The representatives of the Indian Justice Party (IJP) toured in the District of Kandhamal to visit the Relief Camps and to offer solace to the victimes of communal violence. The team of the IJP was shocked to see the horrendous nature of the crimes committed on the innocent tribals. Many victims that met the team testified about the brutalities committed by the Sangh Parivar elements and how the police just kept watching them and helping in their attacks of the Christians, Institutions and Churches.

He further said that a decade and a half ago, most of the excellent educational institutions were run by Christian Missionaries and Dalits and Backwards never raised any hue and cry that Christians were proselytizing the so-called beneficiaries of upper caste. If so-called upper castes have so much concern for Dalits and Tribals, then why do they not provide public school facilities and other benefits to them. It is unfortunate that neither the so-called upper castes do anything for Dalits and Tribals nor do they allow others to do so.

By Emily Wax
PUNE, India -- As a Dalit, Pratibha Valmik Kamble is part of the poorest and most ostracized community in this subcontinent's ancient caste system, a group of people so shunned that they are still known as untouchables. Her mother is a maid, her father a day laborer.
Yet here in this prospering city, Kamble, 24, was recently applying to an Indian firm called Temp Solutions to go to Philadelphia for a well-paid social service job there. During the interview, she twisted her hands nervously in her lap, knowing that if she landed the position, she would not only make more money than both of her parents combined, she would enhance their social status, and her own.
