Noida : The Rashtriya Dalit Prerna Sthal in Noida, which will be
inaugurated by BSP chief Mayawati on Friday, will have an engraving on
the monument to highlight how the backward castes have been "victims
of an iniquitous social order".
"The engraving, which is in both Hindi and English, and measures 5830
mm in height and 3560 mm in width, will be seen at the main entrance
of the Rashtriya Dalit Smarak," said Balwinder Kumar, Chief Executive
Officer of Noida Authority.
The Smarak is the main dome, part of Phase I of the project, which
contains bronze statues of B R Ambedkar, Kanshi Ram and Mayawati
herself.
"For over a millennium, a substantial mass of this nation's populace
belonging to the SC, ST, and OBC category have been victims of an
iniquitous social order, based on varna and caste that has held them
in its thrall and blighted every aspect of their existence. Over the
ages, a number of Sants, Gurus and Mahapurush have made great
sacrifices in the course of the righteous struggle for the
transformation of this unjust and inhumane social order, to a
humanistic equalitarian social order," reads the engraving.
The monument, it declares, has been constructed to honour the
"unparalleled struggle of these stalwarts towards the struggle for
social transformation".
"The Bahujan Samaj Party, under the leadership of Chief Minister
Mayawatiji has taken the unprecedented and momentous decision to
commemorate their struggle. A decision that is certain to be hailed
for posterity and recorded in golden letters in the pages of history."
CM to announce 16 new projects
Noida: During her visit to Gautam Buddh Nagar, Mayawati is set to
announce 16 new projects, including schools, hospitals and colleges
for the area. Her helicopter will land at a temporary helipad in
Apeejay School in Sector 16-A, adjacent to the Rashtriya Dalit Prerna
Sthal. Noida Authority CEO Balwinder Kumar said the CM will spend half
an hour at the park, announce 16 projects and leave for Gautam Buddh
Vishwavidyalaya in Greater Noida. Officials said a traffic plan was in
place and movement would be affected from 2 pm to 8 pm. Expected choke
