Is there anyone who can help this promising young man? He is looking for an educational loan from a Bank. To me, it seems so be a simple issue, but as usual, he has been experiencing problems as he has no influence. He is from Maharashtra and looking for guidance.

I am sure, someone can help him.

Please read his email to understand his situation.
Appreciate your help.

Ben

[ZESTCaste] SC notice to govt on reservation to Dalit converts

SC notice to govt on reservation to Dalit converts

STAFF WRITER 17:39 HRS IST

New Delhi, Jan 6 (PTI) The issue of reservation benefits for Dalits
converted to Christianity and Islam as also Parsis and Jains today
reached the Supreme Court which sought a response from the Centre on a
PIL accusing it of scuttling the recommendations of Rangnath Misra
Commission in this regard.

The PIL, filed by All India Christian Federation, sought reservation
for converted Dalits of all faiths on the same footing as extended to
Scheduled Castes following Hinduism, Buddhism and Sikhism.

A Bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justice B S
Chauhan issued a notice to the Ministry of Social Justice and Ministry
of Minority Affairs for its response on the implementation of the
recommendation of the National Commission for Religious and Linguistic
Minorities (NCRLM) headed by former Chief Justice of India Rangnath
Misra

[ZESTCaste] SC declines PIL on quota for Dalits embracing Buddhism

SC declines PIL on quota for Dalits embracing Buddhism

STAFF WRITER 18:16 HRS IST

New Delhi, Jan 6 (PTI) The Supreme Court today declined to entertain a
petition questioning a provision in the legislation that extends the
benefits of reservation to Dalits converted to Buddhism.

A Bench comprising Chief Justice K G Balakrishnan and Justice B S
Chauhan dismissed the PIL seeking annulment of the Constitutional
(Scheduled Castes) Orders Amendment Act, 1990 providing reservation to
Dalits converted to Buddhism.

The PIL filed by R H Boudh had contended that bringing the converted
Buddhist in the fold of caste-based reservation amounted to defeating
the purpose of their conversion.

"We are treated as the same lower caste people of the Hindu religion,
to escape from which we had converted to Buddhism," the petitioner
submitted adding that the Buddhist community did not need reservation
as it would mean converting the religion of Buddhism into a caste.

[ZESTCaste] Intellectual giants coming

http://www.expressbuzz.com/edition/story.aspx?Title=Intellectual+giants+coming&artid=0Qy2KQVLF9Y=&SectionID=9R67TMeNb/w=&MainSectionID=wIcBMLGbUJI=&SectionName=gUhH3Holuas=&SEO=

Intellectual giants coming

Express News ServiceFirst Published : 05 Jan 2010 12:21:00 AM ISTLast Updated :

KOCHI: The city will soon witness one of the most extravagant literary
fests. The Kochi Art and Letters Foundation is organising Kochi
Letters International Festival (Kochi Life 2010), an annual
international cultural festival, on January 8 and 9. The first of its
kind in Kerala, Kochi Life 2010 will be the first edition of the
international event that will be held every year.

The two-day festival features some of the big names in the literary
and cultural circuits including Slavoj Zizek, Slovenian thinker, who
is visiting Kerala for the first time. Sociologist, postmodern
philosopher and cultural critic, Zizek has been dubbed 'the most
dangerous political philosopher in the West' and is today one of the
most controversial public intellectuals.

The fest has a volatile and pertinent theme - Whither Left? - that
questions the way the Left engages and addresses class, gender and
sexuality.

The fest will have talks and discussions on subjects like 'Themes from
the Left: Value, agency, and alienation', 'Life narratives of women
and Dalits in Left movement', 'Caste and the reconstruction of the
Left', 'Rethinking the language of feminist politics in India,
'Reformism or socialism?', 'There is more to secularism', 'Left
interventions and self reflection in art, literature and academic
writing' and 'Life after secularism'.

There will be an audio-visual demonstration with over 500 photographs
of Sunil Janah by Ram Rahman. Other participants include Gail Omvedt,
Akeel Bilgrami, Prabhat Patnaik, Tejaswini Niranjana, Annapurna
Garimella, Gopal Guru, Javeed Alam, Kumar Shahani, C Ayyappan, T M
Yesudasan, Usha Zacharias, C K Janu and J Devika.

The festival at the Town Hall will be open to the general public and
individuals from domains like art, theatre, music and architecture.
The idea is to upgrade book lovers from the level of consumers to that
of participants in thinking, allowing authors to better understand who
their readers are and what their writing becomes in reception.

The fest offers a platform for a shared public intellectual discourse
with the representation of thinkers from different domains.

This helps publishers realise and improvise their role as active
agents in disseminating ideas to the public. Leading cultural activist
and film maker Sashikumar and noted academic and thinker Dr Nizar
Ahmed are the creative directors of the event.
