[ZESTCaste] Book- Behenji: A political biography of Mayawati

 

Dear friends,

I just finished Behenji: a political biography of Mayawati by Ajay Bose that I have been trying to read for a while.

 

While in US, I have been reading media reports on Ms Mayawati's rule, none of them were positive. I did read about her statues, memorial parks, jewelry, birthday cakes, indiscriminate transfers, and high handedness. Though I read these reports with a pinch of salt, I too felt she may not be going in the right direction with her historic electoral mandate. I am very much aware that a lot of misinformation is being spread by the mainstream media as far a Ms Mayawati is concerned.

 

When I speak to my friends, I get the same stereo typed negative opinions on Ms Mayawati, most of them formed with the input of media.

 

I expected that the book is no different in dealing with its subject. But, I was wrong. It's a lot positive and gave me an objective understanding of what she is upto and what she is doing in UP. It is full of statistical details and logical arguments (at least to me) supporting the facts and opinions.

 

Though it doesn't shed much light on the personal life of Ms Mayawati, it did a good job of her rule and her objectives.

 

I urge all to read it and understand her before writing off with whatever opinion one has about her.

 

Now, I started reading another book I have been thinking of reading for so long, Brahmacharya: Gandhi and his women associates by Girja Kumar. Though not an ardent admirer of Gandhi, he is another intriguing personality whom I wanted to know objectively.

 

With regards

Benjamin Kaila

Dear friends,

Though I have been mentally stressed as I struck up in India unprepared, I am trying my best to use this time as purposefully as possible.

 

One of the exciting times for me was watching a live play live last weekend. I got this opportunity after more than two and hald decades. I was thrilled as it was on the life of my hero Dr Ambedkar. I watched it for two consecutive days.

 

As a child and as a teenager, I would go for miles to other villages to watch art forms of various kinds and forms. This musical play based on the real story of Dr Ambedkar's life (up to burning of Manu Smriti) was a feast to my eyes and senses. It was created by a school teacher Mr Patibandla Ananda Rao with a cast of nearly 80 actors. According to him it was not yet perfected, it was played only a couple of times so far. Still, it was so perfect that I started thinking how marvelous it would be watching it after a while when it was perfected.

 

I am was not an art critic, still I would like to express my feelings.

 

The play was so real that I could not control my emotions while watching some of the scenes. The performance of the child actor (little Dr Ambedkar) was superb, so was that of the actor played adult Ambedkar. Every other actor performed well and the music was melodious.

 

I surprised how such a talented man (Mr Ananda Rao) was unnoticed so far. I was told his another play, Padamata Gali (Western wind) based on the globalization, was a superhit. Talent, when not recognized and noticed dies out. It is very much real in the case of talented Dalits. I remember watching such great art forms of various kinds as a child. They are all dying out for lack of patronage and invasion of unrealistic movie culture. Recording (even in crude form) of such dying art forms of Dalits and Tribals was one of my pet projects. But, it never took off for obvious reasons.

 

At the end of the play, while talking about the art form he used in the play Mr Ananda Rao spoke about an old man who can recite 20 different plays from memory. How great it would be if someone come forward and immortalized the man and his talent before it is too late? How wonderful it would be if someone take the task of recoding various Dalit and Tribal art forms before they are died out?

 

It needs dedication, sincerity, and above all money. Something needs to be done before it is too late.

 

With regards

Benjamin Kaila

[ZESTCaste] SC, ST farmers to raise cashew nut under NREGS

SC, ST farmers to raise cashew nut under NREGS

June 24th, 2010
DC Correspondent


June 24: Small and marginal farmers from SC and ST communities are
going to raise horticulture crops, mainly cashew nut on assigned lands
over about 4,000 acres, 1,000 acres in agency areas, under the
National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NR-EGS) in East Godavari.

Horticulture authorities target to raise several horticulture crops on
government assigned lands in the possession of small and marginal
farmers to help them improve their sources of earnings. They are
trying to identify suitable blocks of lands mainly in upland areas
like Prathipadu, Jaggampeta, Tuni, Sankhavaram, Routhulapudi and other
areas. Efforts are on to identify beneficiaries who are in possession
of less than five acres. About 3,000 farmers are expected to take up
cultivation of horticulture crops under the NREGS in the district.

The state government provides financial support under the NREGS to
farmers to take up development of land, digging pits for plantation of
saplings in case of cashew nut, supply of saplings and seeds free of
cost, provision of irrigation facilities, supply of fertilisers,
compost and other requisite inputs.

It is estimated to cost nearly Rs 34,000 per acre for a period of
three years for raising horticulture crops until their harvest.
Horticulture authorities maintain that on an average, farmers can get
400 kgs of nuts per acre and one kilogram of nuts fetches about Rs 50
to the farmers.

The horticulture assistant director, Mr B. Subrahmanyam said, "We are
encouraging farmers to raise cashew nut, mainly in upland and Agency
areas as it is viable there and also helps farmers get good
dividends."

[ZESTCaste] Caste is still the tie that binds in India

http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2010/jun/24/caste-india-marriage

Caste is still the tie that binds in India

Primitive practices around caste and marriage are still finding
support – even in urbanised, educated India


Kaushik Barua guardian.co.uk,

Thursday 24 June 2010 16.00 BST

A leading Indian matrimonial website found that more than 99% of its
users chose to mention caste when searching for a partner. Photograph:
Raminder Pal Singh/EPA

In villages across northern India, the most dangerous choice young
people could make is one most of us take for granted – choosing their
own partner. In the rural hinterlands, the khap panchayats,
traditional community organisations, mete out their own forms of
justice to "erring" villagers. In recent years, they have ordered the
honour killings of young couples for marrying outside their caste, for
marrying within their gotra (ancient lineage as defined by Hindu
tradition) and even for marrying someone from a neighbouring village.
In short, one could invite censure, and usually worse, by marrying
anyone against the wishes of their parents and the community
patriarchs (for most of the traditional leaders are men).


This month, the supreme court issued a notice to seven states on the
steps taken to protect young couples from the wrath of these khap
panchayats. It is clear that in these rural areas, extra legal norms
based on fossilised traditions run their writ. This happens while the
state remains "a mute spectator", as admitted by the judge of the high
court that was "flooded with petitions" seeking judicial confirmation
of the right to life and liberty of married couples.


Of course, the khap panchayats are selective in their sanctions. In
April, two low-caste Dalits were burned alive and 18 houses gutted by
a mob that was hundreds-strong. Within three days of the carnage, a
gathering of 43 khap panchayats resulted in no condemnation of the
act, only a demand for the release of the arrested. In their various
acts of moral posturing, not once has a congregation of these
organisations criticised female foeticide or dowry. This is not
surprising, considering the khap panchayats are part of the
traditional complex of factors that promote a self-serving,
caste-based, patriarchal view of social norms. This much we all
acknowledge from the comfort of our city living rooms.


In national newspapers, in academic seminars or at evening soirees on
the well-lit lawns of the cities, these acts are roundly condemned.
Such practices are attributed to the primitive mindsets of rural
India, deprived as they are of education, modernity and Coca Cola. The
general consensus is that there are rural areas where the 20th century
has not yet arrived. And that they are as far from the urban
imagination as a foreign country. As are their "medieval" norms.


What most of us fail to see is that these norms probably enjoy as much
implicit support even in the most urbanised, educated and apparently
liberated sections of the country. Chandigarh is one of the
best-planned cities in the country and capital to two of the most
prosperous states. Its roads are teeming with SUVs, and it contributes
more than its fair share of uber-fashionable models, reality TV
participants and cricket stars; it is the modern Indian city. A recent
survey found that more than 65% of the respondents in Chandigarh
oppose marriages within the same gotra. And more than one-third of all
respondents even agree that khap panchayats should order the social
boycott of such couples. Across the country, urban youth are
regressing towards the most conservative readings of gotra and
marriage.


In the affluent, high-rent neighbourhoods of south Delhi, imported
cars vie with foreign-education degrees for attention. The area is
home to some of the country's most elite families. But the number of
girl babies is only 845 per 1,000 boys, much lower than even the
already abysmal national average of about 930. Overall urban India
ranks lower than rural areas, with affluent neighbourhoods ranking
among the worst. It seems higher incomes do not buy urban Indians only
cars and degrees. It also buys multiple trips to illegal ultrasound
clinics and female foeticide to order.


Young urban Indians now pride themselves on being online citizens of
the world, proclaiming the shedding of their caste identities at
parties and updating their Facebook accounts with ferocious
regularity. They seem to inhabit a different world compared to the
village where rural patriarchs prohibit their children from marrying
outside their caste. But caste preferences weigh in as heavily among
the mostly urban, net-savvy Indians as it does among the khap
panchayats. A leading Indian matrimonial website found that more than
99% of its users chose to mention caste when searching for a partner.


The city is not as far from the village as we think. And primitive
norms lurk not far below the veneer of modern living. Another
dangerous choice we could make is to ignore how small these distances
are.

[ZESTCaste] Dalits get helping hand

http://www.asianage.com/life-and-style/dalits-get-helping-hand-559

Dalits get helping hand

Jun 21st, 2010 -- Swati Vishnoi(Age Correspondent)
In a bid to help students from weaker sections of society with regard
to higher education, career choices and discrimination, a telephone
helpline and a Dalit and Adivasi Students' Portal has been recently
launched by the Insight Foundation, a non-profit trust comprising
students and professionals. Although the website will address issues
relating to Scheduled Castes/Tribes student community studying all
over India, the maximum cases addressed by the foundation are from
Delhi, informs Anoop Kumar Singh, national co-coordinator, Insight
Foundation,
Anoop adds, "We are getting maximum response from students from as far
as Nagaland, Hoshangabad, Kutch, studying or planning to take
admissions in Delhi colleges. The telephone helpline will help link
first-year college and university students with faculty members and
senior students who can provide guidance. Counselling will also be
given to students facing discrimination and prejudice in campus."
He also cited several cases, the foundation addressed like that of Bal
Mukund Bharti, a final-year medical student from AIIMS, who allegedly
committed suicide because of alleged constant harassment, he received
from teachers and fellow students. "To bring forward his plight, we
have made a documentary The Death Of Merit, based on the testimony of
his parents and are planning to screen it in Delhi this July," says
Anoop. The website is also planning to launch its mentorship
programme, were students and aspirants will be linked to mentors
enrolled with the group, mostly SC and ST, who are now themselves
successful members of our society.
Students in the city are quite upbeat about the move. Amit Sonkar,
ex-student, JNU, says, "Students from these communities, who come from
small villages, have a hard time during admissions and studies, since
they are often humiliated. They feel alone and many in their peer
group do not accept them. If they get a platform where they can share
their grievances, I'm sure, caste discrimination would be soon erased
from society."
Rakesh Kumar, a reserved category student from Punjab and a regular
caller to this helpline says that counselling really boosted his
confidence.
"As I belong to a small town in Punjab, I've always been subjected to
humiliation in school and have faced harsh comments from my own
batchmates. Initially, I was really scared about getting into DU. But
the helpline guided me about career choices and also made me believe
that even I have the potential to study in esteem institutes like IIT
and JNU. Now I've applied for political science in DU and want to be
professor in the university so that I can be of help to Dalit students
later."
But many want the government to come up with more such specific
initiatives. Sana Zehra Jafri, a PhD student from Jamia Millia
Islamia, sums up, "I feel more than students and professionals, taking
up the issue, the Indian government should show serious responsibility
and address the problems of Dalit students."

[ZESTCaste] Dalit feminism to the fore

Dalit feminism to the fore

G Babu JayakumarExpress News ServiceFirst Published : 25 Jun 2010
04:31:01 AM ISTLast Updated : 25 Jun 2010 09:53:47 AM IST

CHENNAI: "The struggle against onslaughts on Dalit women's bodies will
be an epoch-making one as it would create situations demanding the
rewriting of history," thundered a woman poet at an academic session
of the World Classical Tamil Conference on Thursday.

The seminar on 'Dalit Studies' at Mangudi Maruthanar Arangam with
Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) MLA Ravikumar on the chair, saw
Thenmozhi, a poet, making a distinction between feminism and Dalit
feminism. In her paper 'Passing power - physical body, social body and
Dalit body', Thenmozhi said that all women do not face the same kind
of oppression. "They do not encounter a common type of power
structure. Perhaps there could be some common features and that could
give rise to a sense of temporary solidarity. Yet Dalit women face a
different power structure and suffer varied forms of oppression,"
Thenmozhi said, setting the tone for the new breed of feminism.

She said that all problems of our times were more or less related to
power. "It is doubtful if the idea that power flows from a point is
relevant now," she said, adding that it was doubtful if there could be
an escape from it. "This is a fact that all those caught in some form
of bondage or the other through oppression more so with someone who
identifies herself as a Dalit woman should reckon with."

The strident voice against oppression sought to fight all forms of
exploitation and domination not just those based on gender. Thenmozhi
said Dalit women have the need to be highly aware of all forms of
exploitation and power structures they face as they would be entering
the war field alone.

She pointed out that all governments till recently followed the Manu
Dharma, adding that the formation of alternative governments had not
completely weaned the administration away from the influence of
ancient Dharma shastras that uphold certain traditions.

Apart from Thenmozhi, A Murugupandian traced the history of Dalit
poetry while V Prabhakaran and K Nagarethnam spoke about Ayodhiya
Dasar, one of the foremost Dalit intellectuals.

Ravikumar wondered if Dalit poetry has lost its fervour.

[ZESTCaste] Dalit youth strangled

Dalit youth strangled

Peeyush Khandelwal, Hindustan Times
Ghaziabad, June 25, 2010


The spate of honour killings in and around the Capital showed no sign
of abating as yet another case emerged on Thursday — a young man was
strangled and left hanging from a tree by his girlfriend's father and
three other of her relatives.

Police found the body of Sonu Kumar Jatav (20) in a mango orchard in
Ghaziabad's Badauda village, 45 km east of the Capital. Investigations
revealed that he had been involved with Reena (19), whom he wanted to
marry, but whose parents disapproved of the relationship.

Both of them were Dalits.

"The girl's family had already threatened the man. His worried family
members had in fact sent him away from home for his own safety," said
Capt. M.M. Baig, Superintendent of Police.

On Wednesday, however, police said, Reena's father forced her to call
Sonu and invite him over to discuss their marriage. "He turned up the
same evening," Baig said.

"They were after my son's life and planned the murder," said Kishan
Kumar, Sonu's father. The suspected killers are all absconding.
