Re: [ZESTCaste] National seminar on 75 years of Dalit Politics in India- A review -All are Welcome

To day SC/STs/OBCs/Minorities and even the Upper Castes are proud of Bahujan Samaj Party because of the Highly Performing Best and Meritorious Governance of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Ms Mayawati for Sarvajan Hithay Sarvajan Sukhay i.e., for the Welfare and Happiness of the Entire People. Instead of dalithing now it is time that like Uttar Pradesh & USA that elected Obama, the entire Nation must hand over the MASTER KEY to BSP of Mayaawati by making her the Prime Minister of PraBuddha Bharath as dreamt by Baba Saheb Dr. BR Ambedkar.

MAY YOU BE EVER HAPPY, WELL AND SECURE
MAY YOU LIVE LONG
MAY ALL SENTIENT AND NON-SENTIENT BEINGS BE EVER HAPPY
MAY YOU BE ALWAYS HAVE CALM, QUIET, ALERT,ATTENTIVE AND
EQUANIMITY MIND WITH A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING THAT
EVERYTHING IS CHANGING

[ZESTCaste] Bombay High Court likens Indu Mills capture to Babri razing

Bombay High Court likens Indu Mills capture to Babri razing

Published: Wednesday, Dec 21, 2011, 8:00 IST
By DNA Correspondent | Place: Mumbai | Agency: DNA

Coming down heavily on the authorities over the recent encroachment of
the Indu Mills by the followers of Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar,the Bombay
High Court on Tuesday rapped the state government for its "failure to
take action against the encroachers".

"The state government's way of not taking action against the
encroachers at the India United Mills, Dadar, is disturbing," said the
HC.

A division bench of Justices DK Deshmukh and Anoop Mohta did not mince
words. "In Ayodhya, 1992, we all saw what a mob can do; we are facing
a similar situation now. The country and its citizens are still
reeling under its (Ayodhya's) effects, and the people this time are
not ready. Through its inaction, the state is promoting an act of
communal tension," the bench said.

The state government representative was left speechless, and accepted
the court's observation that the state had been unable to take action
against the squatters inside the mill, who have been sitting there
since December 6. However, he tried to pass the buck to the National
Textile Corporation (NTC), by saying that prior intimation about the
mob was given by the police, along with directions to tighten security
and close the main gates.

The bench responded, "This is not a lock-and-watchman matter, it is
much bigger and more serious than you expect. If you are not able to
protect government property, how will individuals feel safe? Don't you
feel this action is a challenge to your authority?"

Counsel for the Republican Sena said, "There should be some
reconciliation. The central government should be made a party to the
petition and statements should be made before the court that a portion
of the land will be given to the state government to build Dr
Babasaheb Ambedkar's memorial."

The bench replied, "Ambedkar is the father of our Constitution, and
this fact is being violated by you. The encroachers have put up
statues of Gautam Buddha, who believed in the principle of
non-violence. If you think your acts are not justified, then you
should immediately vacate the land."

The court was hearing a petition filed by the NTC seeking directions
to the Mumbai police and the state government to evict the encroachers
from the mill land.

The HC has now adjourned the hearing till Thursday, and told the state
to return with instructions regarding what action it proposes to take
to remove the encroachers.

[ZESTCaste] The rise of Dalit enterprise: Tata, Godrej and Thermax among groups taking lead in supplier diversity

http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2011-12-20/news/30538063_1_kalpana-saroj-kamani-tubes-dicci

The rise of Dalit enterprise: Tata, Godrej and Thermax among groups
taking lead in supplier diversity
Naren Karunakaran, ET Bureau Dec 20, 2011, 01.11am IST

MUMBAI: An intimidating wall, separating the sprawling Tata Motors
plant and the spartan workshop of Abhijeet Surface Coatings, at FII
block, Pimpri Industrial Estate, Pune, has stood tall and strong for
many years. Gokul Gaikwad, the dalit founder of Abhijeet Surface
Coatings, could hear the deep rumblings of industrial activity behind
the wall everyday, but never managed to scale it and do business with
the auto major. The wall cracked last weekend. Gaikwad didn't cross
it; Tata Motors did.

Several vendor development officers from Tata Motors spent time with
Gaikwad at his stall at the Mumbai trade fair organised by the Dalit
Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DICCI) the last weekend. The
fair, put up to showcase the growing prowess of a new breed of dalit
capitalists, helped Gaikwad get the breakthrough he has been wanting
for years. As a first-generation dalit entrepreneur, Gaikwad just
doesn't have the peer network and financial or organisational backing
that will help him break into vendor lists of large companies. He
could never have broken into the big league of mainline companies. But
now, they are coming to him.

A small clutch of heavyweight industrial groups — Tata, Godrej,
Thermax, Forbes Marshall — and a few MNCs such as Cummins India are
beginning to intentionally engage with dalit entrepreneurs, hoping to
identify, nurture and integrate them into their supplier fold. The
movement has picked up speed since last month when the central
government opened up a .`7,000-crore opportunity with a dalit
enterprise-friendly sourcing plan.

The private sector was seen as alaggard in supporting the concept of
'supplier diversity'. Not anymore. Displaying a sensitivity rarely
seen in Corporate India, Ratan Tata, Adi Godrej and Farhad Forbes not
only made it apoint to visit the trade fair and spend time with dalit
entrepreneurs from across the country but also spent a few million
rupees in helping DICCI organise the event itself. What was glaring
was the absence of the rest of industry.

This doesn't bother Farhad Forbes of the Pune-based Forbes Marshall Group.

Farhad Forbes categorises Indian industry into three kinds: the small
set of proactive companies keen on supplier diversity and issues of
the underprivileged; the fence sitters, 'who may want to do things but
don't know how to' and, of course, the sceptics who view such moves as
inimical to the interests of industry. "Fortunately, the fence sitters
form the largest group," says Forbes. "So, there is hope."

When Ratan Tata arrived at the venue on Saturday, a minor stampede
ensued as every dalit entrepreneur wanted to have a word with him or
exchange cards. "We are not looking for concessions, what we want is
opportunities," says Milind Kamble, chairman, DICCI, who along with
Kalpana Saroj, chairman, Kamani Tubes, flanked the Tata Group chairman
on the dais.

Ratan Tata was also seen whispering into Saroj's ear. He told her how
the founder-chairman of Kamani Tubes, Ramjibhai Kamani, had bailed out
Tata Steel from a serious labour issue in Jamshedpur many decades ago
by influencing Mahatma Gandhi to visit the city and address the
workers.

Tata's presence and his unambiguous support to the cause have infused
a lot of energy into a micro ecosystem that has struggled for a long
time. The Tata Group chairman told the gathering how important it was
to ensure confluences of creative minds and the need for entrepreneurs
of all hues to participate in and seek a share in the prosperity of
the country.

Expectedly, dalit entrepreneurs used the opportunity to the hilt. A
young entrepreneur manufacturing electrical control panels extended
his visiting card to Raghu Kowjalgi, GM (materials) at Forbes
Marshall. Kowjalgi asked him whether he simply fabricated panels or
did value-addition by wiring it up too.

The answer was in the affirmative. "Do you also paint the panel?" The
answer was a no. "Examine the possibility of either outsourcing
painting, or set up an in-house facility; and we shall talk. Come over
anytime," the youngster was told. Divides, evidently, are dissolving.

Kowjalgi, as materials head of an engineering company, is a much
harried man. It's extremely difficult to identify and develop good
vendors. He goes on to explain how he has been struggling to find
suppliers of foundry components. Foundries are manual by nature and
therefore scaling up is difficult.

Much of the small-scale foundry capacity in the country is monopolised
by large companies leaving little for mid-level companies like his.
"There is a clear business case in supporting supplier diversity," he
insists. He talks about a new dalit entrepreneur he has identified:
"He is technically very sound; all he needs is some help with getting
the necessary certifications. Finance and other minor issues can be
sorted out."

[ZESTCaste] Hospital's gesture to Dalit boy to pursue marine engineering course

http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Madurai/article2731396.ece

MADURAI, December 20, 2011
Hospital's gesture to Dalit boy to pursue marine engineering course
Special Correspondent

It was a very special day for the family of Murugan, a Dalit and a
farm labourer, who hailed from a small hamlet in Theni district.

The family members were here at the Vadamalayan Hospital to receive a
cheque for their son Chandran, presented from Vadamalayan Memorial
Trust.

Murugan and his wife Rajeswari saw their son Chandran receiving the
cheque for Rs. 82,000, towards tuition fees with which he would pursue
his B. Tech. marine engineering course, from Commissioner of Income
Tax M. Krishnasamy who presented it on behalf of the Vadamalayan
Memorial Educational Scholarship.

Mr. Krishnasamy said that in this materialistic world, such
philanthropic act had to be appreciated.

He recalled the contributions of the late Vadamalayan, the founder of
Vadamalayan Hospitals, in rendering yeomen service to the economically
weaker sections, who were admitted to the hospital for treatment since
its inception.

G. Andal, Administrative Director from Evidence, an NGO, offered felicitation.

Chairman and Managing Director of the hospital V. Pugalagiri said that
his hospital believed in corporate social responsibility. By
identifying students such as Chandran and helping them in their
academic pursuit, the society would reap benefits in the future.

The need of the hour was to encourage such brilliant youngsters to
come up in their life.

Later, when Chandran and his mother Rajeswari thanked the audience
with folded hands, tears rolled. It was an emotional moment for the
family as their son was the first in their family to step into a
college.

Chandran told reporters that he scored 1,049 marks out of the total
1,200 in the Plus Two public examinations and stood first in the
district in the entrance examination conducted by the Maritime
University. The Vadamalayan Trust has undertaken to sponsor his
tuition fee for the four-year programme at a college in Coimbatore.
