[ZESTCaste] Facing the reality: A video from Sajókaza (Jai Bhim Network, Hungary)

Facing the reality: A video from village Sajókaza, Hungary, where Jai Bhim Network, Hungary operates. Though video in the Hungarian language but I think everyone can understand because they share the same pain as Dalits do.

[ZESTCaste] Nepal: Dalit absence in headless SRC riles lawmakers

Dalit absence in headless SRC riles lawmakers

Govt‚ parties accused of working under the influence of I/NGOs

Added At: 2011-11-24 11:31 PM

ARJUN BHANDARI

KATHMANDU: Three days after the formation of the State Restructuring
Commission, lawmakers, particularly those from the Dalit community,
lashed out at the government for failing to include Dalits in the
panel and questioned its members' 'credibility and competence'.

Following lawmakers' objection, Speaker Subas Nembang today issued a
ruling to the government to make clear its stand on the formation of
the eight-member commission. The government had formed the SRC on
Tuesday as per the recommendations from three major parties — the
Unified CPN-Maoist, Nepali Congress and CPN-UML — and United
Democratic Madhesi Front.

Dalit lawmakers, including Tilak Pariyar of UCPN-M, Khadag Bahadur
Basyal Sarki of NC and Chhabilal Bishwokarma of UML, censured the
government and political parties for failing even to deem necessary to
appoint a Dalit member in the SRC, the report of which they said will
have a pervasive impact in the long run. They also threatened to
obstruct the House if their concerns were not addressed.

"There is no room for the Dalits to be satisfied with (this) SRC,"
said UML's Bishwokarma, adding that the Dalits had earlier demanded
that at least one Dalit member be included in the state restructuring
panel.

Others alleged that the major political parties, UDMF and the
government came under the influence of I/NGOs, who, they said, 'had
been lobbying for carving out provinces on the basis of ethnicity'.
"Some commission members are doing their PhD, and others are involved
in I/NGOs," said Prakash Chandra Lohani of Rastriya Janshakti Party.
"Were there not competent people who could have been appointed?" He
also criticised the government and major parties for failing to
appoint the coordinator of the commission. "It's a headless
commission," said Lohani. "Does the government think that it will
remain functional?" He also demanded Dalits' representation in SRC.

Leela Neichayin of Nepal Workers' and Peasants' Party said the
government was 'inconsistent' while forming SRC. "The government
withdrew the bill seeking formation of an experts' committee after
fierce objection by a section of ethnic/indigenous lawmakers," said
Neichayin. She also alleged that the parties, who recommended names
for SRC and the government, which formed it, came under the influence
of I/NGOs, whose mission, she said, was to 'serve foreign interests'.
She went on to add that I/NGOs had been influencing the
'ethnic/indigenous lawmakers' for carving out federal units along the
ethnic line.

CP Mainali of CPN-ML added that the commission should have been formed
from among university professors who have expertise on federalism.
"But it is sad that the government picked up NGO people and rights
activists," said Mainali. "Major parties and the government are trying
to create a rift between the ethnic and non-ethnic communities," said
Mainali. "Rights of the Brahmins, Chhetries, Ranas, Thakuris,
Sanyasis, Badis and Dasnamis must also be secured in federal
structure.

Chitra Bahadur KC of Rastriya Janamorcha Nepal said those appointed in
SRC were not experts on federalism, instead 'they hold communal
views'. "It has become clear that I/NGOs have dominated the parties'
decision-making process," said KC.

[ZESTCaste] Nepal: Big-three top brass ready to induct Dalit rep in SRC

Big-three top brass ready to induct Dalit rep in SRC

RAJENDRA PHUYAL

KATHMANDU, NOV 24 - A meeting of the top brass leaders of the major
three political parties—Nepali Congress (NC), CPN-UML and UCPN
(Maoist)—on Thursday decided to induct an additional member from the
Dalit Community in the State Restructuring Commission.

Various organisations and politicians have been expressing
dissatisfaction over the formation of the State Restructuring
Commission, citing lack of representation from the Dalit community in
the mechanism.

Earlier, Maoist lawmaker Tilak Pariyar had warned to obstruct the
House proceedings if a Dalit representative was not inducted in the
State Restructuring Commission.

In the meeting held at the Peace Ministry in Singha Durbar, Kathmandu
today, the leaders also discussed issues related to seven-point
agreement on peace process, the Constituent Assembly term extension
and issues related to State Restructuring Commission, among others, NC
Vice President Ram Chandra Poudel said.

As per the seven-point agreement between the major three parties and
the Samyukta Loktantrik Madhesi Morcha on November 1, the leaders had
agreed to conclude the regrouping of the former Maoist combatants as
well as returning of the seized properties by yesterday.

Likewise, the leaders had also expressed their commitment to dissolve
the paramilitary structure of the Maoist youth wing—Young Communist
League by Wednesday. However, the leaders failed to meet the deadline.

Dissenting faction of the Maoist leaders led by Vice Chairman Mohan
Baidya have been protesting against various decisions taken by the
party establishment, including returning of the seized properties.

Meanwhile, leaders from Baidya faction have not participated in the meeting.

It has been reported that the leaders attending the talks agreed to
hold further discussion on Friday morning to decide on the extension
of Constituent Assembly (CA) term.

"The next tenure of the CA would be fixed on the basis of a summary
on above issues," UML leader Shankar Pokharel said after the meeting.
