Dalit couple Shiv Shankar Das and Kshipra Kamlesh Uke secure landmark compensation for intellectual property loss under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act.
I joined JNU’s Centre for Historical Studies in 1995, and found that books and archival materials on Dalits and Adivasis were scarce. Keeping up the Brahminical caste status was a primary motive of these studies.
In the storm around Sinauli, many academics dismissed claims of chariots being found. And the public misinterpreted the chariots as a device planted by the govt to fortify Hindutva.
Naidu’s summit brings in MoUs on same scale as Jagan’s, but CM says his plans built on speed, certainty & investor trust, with escrow accounts, simplified incentives & real-time oversight.
Without a Congress revival, there can be no challenge to the BJP pan-nationally. Modi’s party is growing, and almost entirely at the cost of the Congress.
In 2016, the landlord asked them to vacate the premises. Usually, either party can notify the other of moving out a month in advance. The couple sought “some time” to do so. It’s clear from the news report that even in 2018 (two years after they were asked to move out), they had not vacated the property and were in possession of the same. This is nothing but hooliganism. How can anyone put up with such tenants?
Henceforth, landlords will be extra careful when renting out their properties and may even ask for thorough background check to look for caste and education/political markers.
What about the genuine cases where a renter refuses to leave? What if the renter is SC ST? In India discriminating before renting is prevalent hecause eviction is hard. Renting is not the same as selling and renters deciding schools etc based on rental property is not fair to the landlord who can never sell. This will raise the discrimination and filtering by landlords.
