[ZESTCaste] Mirchpur violence: Delhi, Haryana told to protect witnesses

Mirchpur violence: Delhi, Haryana told to protect witnesses
2011-02-15 19:00:00

New Delhi, Feb 15 (IANS) The Delhi High Court Tuesday told the Delhi
and Haryana governments to provide security to witnesses to the attack
on Dalits at Mirchpur village in Haryana in 2010, which led to the
death of two people.

Justice Hima Kohli, hearing a petition of the Delhi government for
permission to provide security to the witnesses in the capital, said:
'Both the governments should sit together and chart out a plan on
security of the witnesses, who have to appear before a Delhi court to
record statements.'

The high court also asked both the Delhi and Haryana governments to
inform it Feb 19 about the progress in the case.

The court said that if both governments fail to arrive at a decision
on the witnesses' security by Feb 19, the home secretaries of the two
states would have to appear before it for explanation.

The court imposed a restraint on the appearance of Delhi principal
secretary/secretary (home) before the city court Feb 17 in the
Mirchpur riots case.

City court Special Judge (Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes Act)
Kamini Lau earlier had asked the Delhi principal secretary/secretary
(home) to appear before it Feb 17 in the case.

The Supreme Court had earlier directed that the case relating to the
killing of a 70-year-old Dalit man and his physically-challenged
daughter in Mirchpur village allegedly by a mob of over 100 people
from the Jat community be transferred to the special court here to
ensure a free and fair trial.

Jat agitators have been protesting the arrest of 98 people from their
community allegedly involved in the Mirchpur village riots and arson
in Hisar district April 21, 2010. The blockade was ordered by the
mahapanchayat (community conclave) of 12 khaps (caste councils).

A 70-year-old man and his 18-year-old physically-challenged daughter
were killed in the arson attack on a Dalit locality in Mirchpur
village, about 300 km from Chandigarh.

CPI (M) demands facilities for Dalits

Staff Correspondent

MANGALORE: A large number of activists of the Communist Party of India
(Marxist) on Monday protested in front of the office of the Deputy
Commissioner demanding more facilities and grants for development of
Dalits.The demonstration was a part of the call given by party for a
Statewide protest on the eve of presentation of State Budget.

Sunil Kumar Bajal, a party office-bearer, said the State Government
had done nothing for the development of those belonging to Scheduled
Caste and Scheduled Tribes. It was distressing that the problem of
unemployment among these groups continued. .

The primary demand of the party had been allocation of 24 per cent of
the budget amount for programmes related to the Scheduled Caste and
Scheduled Tribes.

[ZESTCaste] Life still under threat, say P Pudur Dalits

Life still under threat, say P Pudur Dalits

R Gokul
Express News Service
First Published : 16 Feb 2011 03:11:24 AM IST

PARALI PUDHUR (DINDIGUL): Parali Pudhur near Natham in Dindigul
district, which came under the police control in the wake of caste
clashes in which houses of Dalit community were set ablaze and
ransacked on Sunday night , was still sombre and yet to recover from
the shock.

Over 100 men and children of Dalit community who took shelter on the
hills near the village on Sunday evening were yet to return home
fearing further attacks from the Mutharaiyar community. But around 25
women residents were only at Indira Colony expecting the help of the
district administration. The victims were highly frustrated over the
reluctance of the Collector to visit the area till Tuesday evening.

A Dalit woman said that the Collector visited their ransacked houses
later on Tuesday evening.

C Anand, who is still taking shelter on the hills along with others,
said, though police force was deployed in their village, they were
scared to return home as there was a possibility of attack from the
Mutharaiyar community. So the State government has to take stringent
action against the prime culprits who were not arrested so far to
ensure the safety of Dalits in the village.

A leader from Viduthalai Chiruthaikal Katchi in Dindigul district
requesting anonymity said that the prime accused, Muthaiyan, was not
arrested so far as he was backed by an important person in DMK in
Madurai.

Superintendent of Police Saravanan, who headed the police team,
refuted such allegations and said the situation was under control. He
also raised hope that the prime accused would be apprehended.

[ZESTCaste] Teacher gets PhD for thesis on Mayawati

http://www.deccanherald.com/content/137846/teacher-gets-phd-thesis-mayawati.html

Teacher gets PhD for thesis on Mayawati
Sanjay Pandey, Lucknow, Feb 14, DHNS:

UP chief minister and Bahujan Samaj Party supremo Mayawati, who had
powered her party to victory in the state in the 2007 Assembly polls
and whose ''social engineering formula'' has made way to the academic
syllabus, has also become a topic of research.

A teacher in an inter-college has recently been awarded the Doctor of
Philosophy (PhD) degree for his thesis on Mayawati by the
Gorakhpur-based Deen Dayal Upadhya University in the state.

Nagendra Kumar, who teaches political science at an inter-college in
UP's Deoria district, has been awarded PhD on the topic "Role of
Mayawati in Uttar Pradesh politics". Kumar undertook his research
under the guidance of Dr Gopal Prasad. Kumar had to face a lot of
difficulties in completing his research. "It was a new topic and not
much material was available in the public domain at that time," he
said.

"It took me three and a half years to complete the 881-page research
paper. I studied over a hundred books on Mayawati," Kumar told Deccan
Herald from Deoria over the phone. "The so far untouched aspects of
Mayawati's style of functioning and her politics have been included in
the research paper," he added.

On what prompted him to select such a topic for research, he said in
2007, when he had applied for PhD, everyone talked about Mayawati's
social engineering, which saw her party catapulting to power in the
state with an absolute majority after a gap of 17 years.
Kumar said in the beginning Mayawati's politics towards the upper
castes was negative.
"She could capture power only after adopting a positive attitude
towards the upper castes," he asserted apparently referring to the
"sarva samaj" (whole society) slogan coined by her party in the 2007
assembly elections.

Incidently Kumar, who also belongs to the Dalit community, tried to
meet Mayawati three times but could not succeed. "I wrote to her three
times expressing my desire to meet her to get more information about
her but I failed," he said. He, however, received cooperation of some
senior BSP leaders.
