'Reserved category docs harassed at MU'
TNN, Jul 11, 2010, 01.37am IST

LUCKNOW: Another group of members of Legislative Assembly (MLAs) have
written to chief minister Mayawati against the Chhatrapati Shahuji
Maharaj Medical University (CSMMU). In their letter to the chief
minister, the MLAs have alleged that the teachers who come from from
the reserved category are harassed in the university.

The MLAs who have written to the chief minister are Rajesh Gautam,
Meeta Gautam, Birju Ram, Ghoora Ram, Radhey Lal Rawat, Bhagwan Das,
Tribhuvan Dutt, Rajendra Prasad Choudhary and Jitendra Kumar. The
MLAs, in a combined letter to the CM, alleged that CSMMU
administration is deliberately blocking the promotional avenues for
the reserved category doctors.

A fortnight ago, MLAs Narendra Verma, Bhagely Ram and BJP leader Vinay
Katiyar had written to the chief minister stating that CSMMU doctors
were violating the ban on private practice.

Meanwhile, the university authorities said they didn't have any
information about any such letter.

[ZESTCaste] Vedic scholar pens Ambedkar's first biography in Sanskrit

http://www.hindustantimes.com/Vedic-scholar-pens-Ambedkar-s-first-biography-in-Sanskrit/Article1-570156.aspx

Vedic scholar pens Ambedkar's first biography in Sanskrit
Press Trust Of India
Pune, July 10, 2010First Published: 10:14 IST(10/7/2010)
Last Updated: 10:20 IST(10/7/2010)

Battling a visual handicap, an 84-year-old Vedic scholar here has
composed the first ever biography of the architect of Indian
constitution and icon of the underprivileged Dr B R Ambedkar in
Sanskrit verse. The exceptional feat of Prabhakar Joshi, who lost his
sight completely while still working on the biography undertaken in
2004, stands as a testimony to his unflinching determination and will
power that saw recent publication of the book containing 1,577
Sanskrit 'Shlokas' covering the life span of Ambedkar unfolded in 160
pages with 21 'Sargas'.

A victim of glaucoma, Joshi who has an illustrious background as a
teacher of Sanskrit in schools and colleges, was immensely influenced
by Ambedkar's mission to uplift the downtrodden.

When he started studying Ambedkar's life, he came across certain facts
that inspired him to take up the unique project of his Sanskrit
biography titled " Bhimayanam".

"Not many people know that it was an ardent desire of Ramji, father of
Ambedkar, that his son should learn Sanskrit.

When Bhimrao opted for the subject after being enrolled in the
Elphinstone High School in Mumbai he was in for rude shock as the
teachers there refused to allow him to study Sanskrit because he was a
Dalit.

Imparting knowledge of Sanskrit to 'lower caste' students those days
was something to be frowned upon", Joshi told PTI.

After pondering over this episode, Joshi thought of an "atonement of
sorts" by way of versifying in Sanskrit, the life of Ambedkar whom he
reverently calls 'Mahamanav'.

Dalit family demands justice

10/07/2010 18:23:00

At least 60 members of a Dalit family in Muzaffarnagar district of
Uttar Pradesh has been roaming door to door to get justice for the
last one and half years.

One Nemwati from Nagwa village had borrowed Rs.40,000 from a sturdy
moneylender 20 years ago. In a bid to repay loan, Nemwati worked as a
maid at his residence for 20 years but she couldn't able to clear the
debt amount.

But the ordeal never ends here. The moneylender also forced her to
sell her three acres of land to repay three lakhs.

The muscleman moneylender is still demanding three lakhs from Nemwati.

On the other hand, police have not paying attention to Nemawati's plea.

[ZESTCaste] Now, Congress launches new set of Dalit icons

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/lucknow/Now-Congress-launches-new-set-of-Dalit-icons/articleshow/6153003.cms

Now, Congress launches new set of Dalit icons
Manjari Mishra, TNN, Jul 11, 2010, 01.55am IST

LUCKNOW: Fight for dalit vote-share takes a dramatic turn as UP
Congress launches a new set of homegrown Dalit icons. The party think
tank delved deep into archives and government records to raise a force
of forgotten Dalit OBC and Most Backward Caste (MBC) local heroes from
55 districts in the state to offer a stiff competition to their better
known counterparts showcased by rival BSP.

The list of moth-balled celebrities would come handy in striking an
emotional cord with the electorate in the chosen pockets where
Congress hopes to identify, trace and publicly honour their
descendent.

Names like Lakhan Chamar, Chchappan Ahir and Phulva Kurmi, whose
'shobha yatras' were taken out in Kanpur on June 27, definitely don't
strike a chord. But each, says Amresh Mishra, the convener of the UPCC
Anti-Communal Cell, has a history of sacrifices. Each of the three
played a crucial role in engaging British forces in Kanpur on June 27
and July 21, 1957 as per the records.

If Agra witnessed a Bhallu Dalit and Baijoo Chamar Yatra on July 5,
Lucknow was a Chinhat Vijay Yatra to commemorate the role of Veera
Pasi and Uda Devi, the Pasi icons, on June 30. Congressmen also hunted
out the descendent of Ganga Baran Pasi who was beheaded by British
near what is now known as the Sarkata Nullah in Lucknow. Even Meerut
woke up to the paeans sung to the exploits of Kadam Singh Gujjar, a
local celebrity none remembers or talks about.

The plan is to pick up two to five icons from the 55 districts, says
Mishra. The cell incident has identified 91 little-known freedom
fighters and 52 out of the lot belong to the Dalit and MBC slot which
gave the party the idea to capitalise on the issue and use the
"their-dalit-versus-our-dalit dual" as an effective bait to 60 percent
votebank comprising the two segments.

And if poaching on their terrain leads to annoying the BSP and SP
supremo, Congressmen are not concerned. So Etawah will soon
commemorate the valorous deeds of Bhondu Singh Ahir, a trusted
lieutenant in the army of the erstwhile ruler and Maya's home turf
Ambedkarnagar will wake up to the glory of Sattu Chamar - rediscovered
by the Congress. The yatras convened by the 'Sajhi Virasat aur Sajhi
Shahadat Abhiyan' expected to conclude on May 2011, Mishra hopes will
give to UP heroes their rightful place.
