After K.G. Balakrishnan’s retirement in May 2010, no Dalit judge has been elevated to apex court; even not a single Dalit chief justice in 24 high courts.
Modi govt hasn’t cleared the appointment of P. Krishna Bhat to the Karnataka HC, or the transfer of Justice D. Seshadri Naidu back to the Andhra & Telangana HC.
A close aide of Karnan alleges there is widespread prejudice against Dalits in the judiciary, and the former HC judge will once again raise his voice against it.
NGT says Delhi government has 'made a mess of the city'; court asks it to take urgent measures, including sprinkling of water on roads to check dust pollution.
Disenfranchisement by institutional fiat is profoundly undemocratic. The effect of the ECI's new documentary process in Bihar will tilt the scales in favour of the BJP.
Mini deal will likely see no cut in 10% baseline tariff on Indian exports announced by Trump on 2 April, it is learnt, but additional 26% tariffs are set to be reduced.
India-Russia JV is also racing to deliver 7,000 more AK-203 assault rifles by 15 Aug. These are currently being made with 50% indigenisation and this will surge to 100% by 31 December.
Public, loud, upfront, filled with impropriety and high praise sometimes laced with insults. This is what we call Trumplomacy. But the larger objective is the same: American supremacy.
Why only Dalits should have reservation? There should be reservatiin for Jain, shikh,muslims and for each state and each district should have reservation. This journalist is dividing country on the basis of cast. To morrow other cast will also demand reservation in judiciory. Dalits are enjoying lots of privillaged but this type of antinationals are creating rift between various community and make the country like Syriya. The foolish journalist
It is surprising that even after several decades of Independence the nation is being forced to think in terms of Castes. Why cannot we come out of this mind-set and think in terms of development of the entire nation and every citizen of the country? This way the country will remain backward forever and politicians will go on taking advantages.
I don’t think the absence of a Dalit CJ in the high courts or as a judge in the apex court is due to prejudice. Quite simply, a suitable candidate may not have been available. That in a sense is also a reflection on how affirmative action is not working, save to create a small elite within the community, now in its third generation. Meaning no disrespect, but Justice Balakrishnan was not a CJI who left behind his footsteps in the sands of time.
Just fed up of hypocritical and pussillanimous think of such petty journalists, Why don’t you publish an article when girl ranked 99 all India did not get an opportunity to be an IAS officer but a less talented one does get it
Just fed up answering the immature FAQs by people like you… “TALENT and MERIT rhetorics”… 1st you should know the CONSTITUTION and LAW… Which works on the premise…”EQUALS SHOULD BE TREATED EQUALLY, AND UNEQUALS SHOULD BE TREATED UNEQUALLY”
1. what ur enjoying today is not because you are talented but because you BOUGHT the talent by going to a better school, college, coaching center with top teachers (ofcourse top fees)… … “Socially, Economically and Politically you are in UNEQUAL when compared to an underprivileged”. Its like a running race circles, where the candidate in the outer circle will be placed ahead of the candidate in the inner circle.
2 . When top higher education seats (MBBS etc) are sold under management quota, to rich people with with very low marks you don’t lament about the TALENT but when an unprivileged (either social, economical or political) candidate gets a seat in higher education or IAS post with 1 to 20 marks difference you lament about the TALENT and MERIT !!! You should understand why 80 % of higher bureaucracy, business and politics are occupied by uppercastes whoes population is very low!! On the contrary the 80% populated SC, ST and BCs are faintly represented in such higher positions… IT’S NOT BECAUSE UPPERCASTES ARE BORN WITH TALENT; AND LOWER CASTES ARE BORN WITHOUT ANY TALENT. All are born equally. Pls try to understand positively… Thank you bro…
Really very good explanation.i likeyour argument.this people wants again enjoy the slavery of undercastes in our country
For Gods sake, what has the presence or absence of a Dalit in the top echelons of the judiciary or any other apex body got to do with “social justice”?
Perform or Perish principle must be applied. Merit not caste, religion or dynastic lineage.
“TALENT and MERIT rhetorics”… 1st one should know the CONSTITUTION and LAW before commenting… LAW and JUSTICE works on the premise…”EQUALS SHOULD BE TREATED EQUALLY, AND UNEQUALS SHOULD BE TREATED UNEQUALLY”

Its like.. running race circles, where the candidate in the outer circle (unprevileged) will be placed ahead of the candidate in the inner circle (preveleged), to make the distance equal for both of them.
2 . When top higher education seats or jobs (MBBS, MD, MBA etc) are sold under management quota, to rich people with very low marks you don’t lament about the TALENT; MERIT; PERFORM or PERISH rhetoric… but when an unprivileged (either social, economical or political) candidate gets a seat in higher education or IAS post with 1 to 20 marks difference you lament about the TALENT, MERIT Bla bla bla !!!
You should understand why 80 % of higher bureaucracy, business and politics are occupied by uppercastes whose population is very low!! On the contrary the 80% populated SC, ST and BCs are faintly represented in such higher positions… IT’S NOT BECAUSE UPPERCASTES ARE BORN WITH TALENT; AND LOWER CASTES ARE BORN WITHOUT ANY TALENT. All are born equally…. But for years together, working class people (who actually contribute to GDP) were suppressed, oppressed and condemned to pennury… not even allowed to study. Hence the POSITIVE DISCREMINATION to uplift them is JUSTIFED (Supreme Court)… So Pls try to understand positively… Thank you bro…
Dude.. wonderful..
Same old, same old argument sir. I know that communities which have faced injustices and discriminations for reasons beyond their control need to be compensated for that. I also understand your point when you say that the richer members of the society may often find a shortcut to getting admissions in the higher institutions, with underhand techniques. But therein lies the counter-point. You confuse social divisions with financial divisions, sir, for the lack of better terms. It is the rich who may or may not ‘cheat’ their way through. Understand that rich or privileged is not synonymous with general category, nor is poor or unprivileged synonymous with SC/ST/OBC anymore. A partiality towards EWS is completely justified. Financial aids can be provided for them. No one will ever argue. But just the fact that you belong to a certain social community, not based on your ability to qualify for the said posts and positions, does not justify a demand for reservation. Nothing does, especially in institutions like courts of law, armies, among others.
Secondly, I am very sure that institutions like the Supreme Court of India do not select candidates on the basis of their caste. They oversee the implementation of laws in land of 1.21 billion people, I believe they do not have the luxury to be fussy about their selections. We need people who are qualified enough to be there, irrespective of social and financial status. Thank you, sir, and apologies if I offend you in any manner.
How dalit student get merit(even though some got)all procipirity and wealth and lands under higher communities.no basic schooling.child nutrition.hiscomlted his law degree or other professional degrees from local schoola not from Delhi public schools.now you tell both can run in same track…
