BJP’s vulnerability in the district stems from the presence of a large number of influential Kadva Patel voters, who support Hardik Patel’s quota demand.
Bihar Chief Minister, Nitish Kumar spoke in favour of 50 per cent job reservation in the private sector on the basis of caste, experts weigh in on the feasibility of this suggestion.
Since Nitish is being seen as a villain among a large sections of Dalits, and is also an ethically beaten public figure right now, everything he says might appear bad. When India Inc is slowly but steadily moving towards integrating Dalit/Adivasis in their workforce chain, why is this man barking private sector quota at this juncture?
Whether reservations in the private sector are feasible or not depends on the political will of the governments. It is a globally proven fact that institutions with greater diversity are more successful and innovative and endure longer.
Nitish Kumar finds himself in a fix as he ditched the backward class constituency in jumping onto the BJP bandwagon. As an astute politician, he realised that all his rhetoric would not work with people. Therefore, he has come out with this trick of demanding a 50 per cent reservation in private sector.
Private sector reservations are a bad idea and step in the wrong direction, because growth and job creation are driven by private entrepreneurs reacting to the profit motive.
What Nitish Kumar has said is not anything new. This issue has been debated and discussed since the 2000s. Several Dalit politicians have stressed the need for reservations in the private sector.
In my view as the finance secretary during UPA II govt, the least RBI could have done was not to further depress the sentiment with doomsday prophecies.
About 300 employees had called in sick Wednesday, allegedly in protest against mismanagement of airlines. Remaining staff given ultimatum to rejoin work by end of Thursday.
Chiman Singh, injured in 1971 India-Pakistan war, was discharged as non-pensioner in 1972. In his petition, he states denial of pension is contrary to settled law.
Even in the weeks leading up to Chamkila’s assassination there were massacres every other day. To airbrush all of this is sheer intellectual cowardice if not a crime.
I can’t possibly understand What’s “horror” in marrying irrespective of Caste. Do “You” feel its horror? You know,Discrimination starts just here. This Matrimonial rites are the things which is further drawing a big line separing high and low, Upper-Castes just think Its process of purifying and keeping the bloodline clean, It’s the most derogatory thing that’s ever been happening in our country and It will continue to show its horrors.
Can’t men marry men? Why is India thinking like that…Think about People who are living horrendous lives as queer,Gay etc. Was it their wrong to be born that way?
It is foolish to advocate manual scavenging in this day and age, whether it be Dalits or upper castes. When there is no need to do something and can be handled with a bit of planning and infrastructure development, why fight over which caste should do it? The main problem is that certain vested interests do not want this old system to go, and that is not necessarily the upper castes. The problem is anti-development thinking and that is our biggest enemy, not caste.
The sarcasm or humour is like, 7 / 10. So that is that. But why aren’t enterprising Indians looking for mechanised alternatives to manual scavenging? Writers and activists can keep demanding upper castes start cleaning toilets and the cycle of caste can continue. Meantime, since Swachh Bharat is the ONLY decent idea that this Prime Minister has come up with, why isn’t he working on revolutionising scavenging methods using all the political capital he has with corporates and his devotees? Atleast he ll be remembered for something useful. The alternative to the existing castes being manual scavengers can’t be upper castes turning manual scavengers, though it’s worthy of pursuing. But the ultimate aim should be finding ways to deal with scavenging in mechanised way.
This is full of myths propagated. Manual scavenging is not due to caste. Most people in the past never used toilets, only open-defecation was there. It is the british which started constructing toilets which started manual-scavenging.
