My take on ews reservation

-


My take 

Broadly speaking there are no difference between #BJP and #Congresses on vision for better India, after congress supported the quota bill in the parliament despite the fact that, this is unconstitutional and Supreme Court had categorically set the 50% cap for the reservation. This is unfortunate to see the substandard debate in the parliament on the 10% of reservation. Government has failed to give any substantial evidence/ data, why they are pushing reservation for economically weaker section of the so called “upper caste”? It’s interesting to observed, most of the political party supported this weak argument of the government. Even, BSP and SP supported this argument of the government. Only RJD opposed this move in the parliament, but their voice was not heard because, they don't have numbers in the house. Most importantly, Both parties from UP like SP and BSP given free ride to BJP on this move, this might be strategic move by #Bua-Bhatiga, to stop BJP for gaining edge in UP.

  Couple of weeks ago, I went to nearby electric repair shop in my neighborhood, because my emergency light is not working. The technician, looked the all parts of light carefully, meantime I was trying to understand his situation during lockdown, he shared in those days his shop was completely shut down like others, I hesitantly, inquired about his livelihood sources and how he had managed his day to day expense? He shared, sir there was no option but I had to sell fruits in the streets, and that was the only source of survival for him and his family, after unlocking he is only able to earn around 30% of income, what he used to earn before Pandemic. After almost 20 minutes, he said he will not able to repair my light. I offered him money for his Labour but he refused to take and gently responded Sir, I haven't done your work, how can I take money, I tried hard but he was reluctant. With his gesture and dedication, I was thoroughly impressed....

Why I Believe Birsa Munda Remains Relevant For Indigenous Identity Around The World(15 November 1875 – 9 June 1900)

Birsa Munda was an indigenous leader and a folk hero, belonging to the Munda tribe who was behind the Millenarian movement that arose in Jharkhand during the British Raj. This made him an important figure in the history of the Indian independence movement. Birsa Munda is named with great respect as one of the freedom fighters in the Indian struggle for independence against British colonialism. His achievements in the freedom struggle became even greater considering he accomplished this before he turned 25. Birsa’s devotion to his people was such that he was almost revered as God by his followers. By the time he was in his 20s, his activities in present-day Jharkhand had already begun to worry the British establishment to a considerable extent. He was finally caught by the British on February 3, 1900, when he was only 25 years old. He died soon afterwards under mysterious circumstances on June 9, 1900, at Ranchi Jail. Indigenous people from the rest of Asia or Africa hav...

Living with the Caste: Everyday Life & Politics in Bihar

  I was in my native village in East Champaran, near the Indo-Nepal border. One day, I travelled to Bettiah and Bagaha to learn about a social venture initiated by our friend. I will write more about that mission later, but for now, I want to share something else. My friend sent a car for me to reach his place; this journey took over two hours. During the trip, I asked the driver his name. He politely shared his name (Mohan) & proudly mentioned his caste identity, Bania.   This led to an endless conversation about caste, party politics and social justice in everyday life while our wheels were moving towards the destination.  When I proposed the subject of caste with him to share his thoughts, he keenly stated, "Sir, before Lalu Yadav's government in Bihar, our caste faced enormous challenges as a lower caste." He went on without stopping, and I was extremely fascinated by his perspective and understanding of the social justice efforts undertaken by Lalu Prasad Yad...
