Re: [ZESTCaste] SCs/STs form half of India's poor: Survey

 

The data is stark 50% of poor in india are dlaits and tribals

it is time that national adivosry committees etc comprised of 50% of Sc/St and 25% of others in poverty and we demanded separate electorate for them

the upper caste cannot represent 'civil society' frankly i do not know what it is to be a dalit or adivasi, only today with rs 20 with me (as Mustafa is away, and our joint atm cards have expired) know what it is to juggle with Rs 20.

I only can talk about upper caste patriarchy and prejudices and contestations between my quest for freedom as a woman in a patriarhcal society with mustafa's quest for his minority identity and how we negotiate and live and love each other.
