Re: [ZESTCaste] Nepal: 'Benefits' of being Brahmin

How is it anyone can stand outside history and say, I had nothing to do with
this! it was "only" my ancestors....nothing remains today? That is hard to
believe. What is the percentage of Brahmans and other so-called "upper"
castes in parliament? in business? in the professions? is that totally
accidental? perhaps they are simply more "meritorious"! Anyway, the denial
is the same as would be made by so many Indian Brahmans!

And, "these prohibitory orders were imposed only if wrongs were
known"....Astounding sentence. Atrocities against Dalits take place only
when their "wrong" in being a Dalit is known!! Ambedkar himself had no
trouble when his caste was not "known"; only after becoming "known" was he
thrown out of his boarding, or as a child thrown out of a bullock cart....

[ZESTCaste] Centre to appoint 'Lok Karmi' to help villagers

http://www.ptinews.com/news/511928_Centre-to-appoint--Lok-Karmi--to-help-villagers

Centre to appoint 'Lok Karmi' to help villagers

STAFF WRITER 11:2 HRS IST
New Delhi, Feb 11 (PTI) With illiteracy being a major stumbling block
in implementation of its schemes in rural areas, the Centre is
considering to appoint an educated person from SC, ST or minority
communities in each panchayat as 'Lok Karmi' to help villagers.

In a draft proposal, the Ministry of Rural Development has also sought
to engage NGOs in the ambitious programme by designating them as 'Lok
Sewaks', who would in turn appoint and guide Lok Karmis in their
territorial jurisdiction, which would not be more than four blocks in
a district.

Seeking to secure maximum participation of rural women in the
programme, the Ministry has proposed that Lok Karmis should preferably
be women and men be appointed if a suitable women in not available in
the area.

[ZESTCaste] Dalit youth's claim of being fed excreta "fabricated"

Dalit youth's claim of being fed excreta "fabricated"

STAFF WRITER 14:58 HRS IST
Madurai, Feb 11 (PTI) A dalit youth's claim that he was forced by a
group of caste Christians to eat human excreta at a village in
Dindigul district recently has been found to be "fabricated", senior
officials told the Madras High Court here today.

P Sadayandi had claimed that he was forced to eat human faeces on
January 7 for walking in their colony wearing footwear at
Melakovilpatti hamlet in Dindigul district.

An inquiry by the Revenue Divisional Officer showed that the
allegation was "fabricated" and there was "not even an iota of truth",
Collector M Vallalar and Superintendent of Police S M Muthusaamy said
in their report to the Madurai bench of the court.
