Scheduled Tribes in Fifth Schedule and Dr.Ambedkar

My Reply on Prof.M.L.Garasiya’s Article “Sanvidhan me Kyu nahi diya gaya “Adivasi” shabd ko Sthan/Mahatva”?( Why The Word “Adivasi” was not given importance/place in the Constitution of India?”.

Three days before I received one watsapp message from one of my friend who stays in Mumbai. The subject of the message was “Sanvidhan me Kyu nahi diya gaya “Adivasi” shabd ko Sthan/Mahatva”?( Why The Word “Adivasi” was not given importance/place in the Constitution of India?”. This article was written by one Prof.M.L.Garasiya. In this article he is alleging Dr.Ambedkar that he did not place the word “Adivasi” in constitution of India and did not even speak for the Tribal’s right. Mr.Garasiya said that It was Mr.Jaipal Singh Munda who actually stressed for the word “Adivasi” in the Fifth Schedule and stood strongly for tribal’s rights. Prof.M.L.Garasiya also alleged that Dr.Ambedkar did not speak about tribals since he was afraid dalits will have lesser rights as compared to tribals and that’s why Ambedkar did not include the word “Adivasi” in Fifth Schedule of the Constitution of India. 

As an Ambedkarrite and a student of Constitution of India, I felt it is necessary to answer these allegations. Before writing my views on this I would like to convey my deep thanks to my friend who felt that I could do justice to this subject and shared me the article written by Prof.M.L.Garasiya. I have tried my best to justify the subject and reply on all the allegations made by Mr.Garasiya. In doing so, I may have taken some of the imminent personalities statements who acknowledged the work of Dr.B.R.Ambedkar for speaking on Tribal’s rights.

I leave it on the readers to judge my efforts that I put forth in replying on Mr.Garasiya’s allegations. If there are any mistakes I regret them and wish to have positive reviews from the readers. I also invite the critiques to reply on this article. I do not claim this reply to be perfect to the context, but I am certain that, the critiques must do their best homework to counter my points mentioned herein.

I am posting the full para written by Prof.M.L.Garasiya which  I received from my friend.

संविधान में क्यों नहीं दिया गया "आदिवासी" शब्द को स्थान/महत्व:-

Adivasi Xplorer...
प्रो. एम. एल. गरासिया

“बाबा साहेब भीमराव अम्बेडकर ने जब संविधान सभा में आदिवासियों के लिए एक भी शब्द नहीं बोला तो संविधान सभा में आदिवासी प्रतिनिधि के तौर पर आदिवासी नेता आदरणीय स्वर्गीय श्री जयपालसिंह मुंडा जी ने आदिवासियों का पक्ष मजबूती के साथ रखा था। आदरणीय स्वर्गीय श्री जयपाल सिंह मुंडा जी झारखण्ड के आदिवासी थे. जिन्हों ने एम्स्टर्डम 1928 के ग्रीष्मकालीन
ओलंपिक में स्वर्ण जीतने के लिए भारतीय हॉकी टीम की कप्तानी की थी.संविधान की 5वी और 6वी सूचि के लिए जयपाल सिंह मुंडा ने ही देश की संविधान सभा के सदस्य के रूप में सक्रिय भूमिका निभाई थी आंबेडकर ने नहीं . और उन्होंने. उन्होंने संविधान सभा में आक्रोश के साथ कहा था कि "मेरे आदिवासी लोग "पिछले 6,000 वर्षों से उपेक्षित और कुचले हुए हे। यह मेरे आदिवासी समाज के लोग है वे अपमान भरा जिल्लत का जीवन जीने के लिए विवश किये गए हे. मेरे समस्त आदिवासी समाज को गैर आदिवासियों द्वारा सदियों से प्रताड़ित किया गया हे और उनका शोषण किया गया हे. गैर आदिवासियों द्वारा आदिवासियों को प्राचीनकाल से निर्वासित जीवन जीने के लिए विवश किया गया हे." जयपालसिंह मुंडा ने संविधान में अम्बेडकर के समक्ष
आदिवासियों के लिए ''आदिवासी' शब्द का प्रयोग किये जाने की भी मांग की थी परन्तु अम्बेडकर को महारो और दलितों का महत्त्व आदिवासियों के मुकाबले कम हो जाने का भय था इस कारण उन्होंने आदिवासियों के लिए ''आदिवासी'' शब्द की मांग को ठुकरा दिया। आज अगर हम भारतवर्ष के "आदिवासी" होने की गरिमा से संविधान में वंचित है तो इसके जिम्मेदार केवल और केवल अम्बेडकर है.”

To begin with my reply on the above allegations I deny all the misrepresented facts supra. Prima Facie I see the maligned intention of Prof.M.L.Garasiya and his hatred toward the father of Indian Constitution. He must have not read, misread and misinterpreted the facts which he had written in the above article. The whole world knows that Dr.B.R.Ambedkar is the person who fought for the rights of SC,ST, OBCs and Minorities. Right from his first agitation at Mahad for water until he breathed last. He not only fought with the Britishers but also with the inner caste hindus who enslaved the majority of the people under religious slavery.

To enter into the main subject, I would like to mention here that he First Amendment motion for Fifth Schedule was moved by Mr. Naziruddin Ahmad of West Bengal. He moved amendment no.154 before the Constituent Assembly. Further Amendments Nos. 156, 157, 158, 159 and 160 were also not been moved. After the said amendments were not put into motion and passed without much discussion, the members of the constituent assembly raised query of moving the amendments after general discussion. Mr.Rajendra Prasad, the President of the Constituent Assembly requested the members to raise their hands who wish to participate in general discussion on Fifth Schedule. About twelve Members rose in their places and it was decided that all the amendments to be moved and then general discussion will be carried out.

As claimed by Mr.M.L.Garasiya that Shri Jaipal Singh spoke about the Adivasi rights and he was the only person who stood for Adivasis. It is to bring into his notice that, Shri Jaipal Singh represented in Constituent Assembly from Bihar not Jharkhand. Jharkand state was formed on 15^th November 2000 from the southern part of Bihar. Jharkhand was not even a recognized state during 1947. So to say that Mr.Jaipal Singh belongs to Jharkhand is an empty lie to mislead people.

Now let me draw your attention to the stand taken by Mr.Jaipal Singh in the Constituent Assembly. While moving an amendment No. 20 in paragraph 3 of the proposed Fifth Schedule, he stressed to add the further clause “after the words 'scheduled areas' wherever they occur, the words 'and scheduled tribes' be inserted; and the words 'or whenever so required by the Government of India' be deleted."[1]

While putting forth the amendment he says that the word "scheduled tribes" has been left out in the Fifth Schedule. Adivasi by himself, Mr.Jaipal Singh wanted the inclusion of the word “Scheduled Tribe” along with the Scheduled Areas. To support his views, he moved “Five Amendments” for the proposed Fifth Schedule as follows:

The first amendment among the five proposed amendments put for the by Mr.Jaipal Singh was;

1.       1.That in amendment No. 20 above, in paragraph 3 of the proposed Fifth Schedule, after the words 'scheduled areas' wherever they occur, the words 'and scheduled tribes' be inserted; and the words 'or whenever so required by the Government of India' be deleted.[2]

He was of the opinion that though the heading of the Fifth Schedule is “Provisions As To The Administration And Control Of Scheduled Areas And Scheduled Tribes” but, in Para I and III the word "scheduled tribes" has been left out intentionally. And that’s why this amendment is been moved.

2.       It shall be the duty of the Tribes Advisory Council generally to advise the Governor or Ruler of the State on all matters pertaining to the administration, advancement and welfare of the Scheduled Tribes of the State'.(Move 33)[3]

3.       That in amendment No. 20 above, in sub-paragraph (1) of paragraph 5 of the proposed Fifth Schedule, after the words 'as the case may be' the words 'if so advised by the Tribes Advisory Council' be inserted."(move 47).[4]

He was of the opinion that this new proposed Fifth Schedule has, somehow or other, perhaps without meaning it, emasculated the Tribes Advisory Council.

4.       That in amendment No. 20 supra, in sub-paragraph (2) of paragraph 5 of the proposed Fifth Schedule, the words 'in any such area' be deleted."(Move 50).[5]

While moving the above motion, he wanted that any benefits scheduled tribes might want to confer on them should not be limited or circumscribed by the areas, that they should extend to the entire State or wherever the scheduled tribes may be.

5.       That in amendment No. 20, in sub-paragraph (5) of paragraph 5 of the proposed Fifth Schedule, “for the word 'consulted' the words 'been so advised by' be substituted."(Move 52)[6]

He argued while moving this amendment that the Tribes Advisory Council should be effective and have a real say in what is being done. It should not just be a body of higher degree without any performance.

Finally, while closing his address in the Constituent Assembly during his amendments motions, Mr.Jaipal Singh said “As I have already stated, there are only two principles involved in my five amendments: first, that the. Scheduled Tribes, all of them, should be benefited by-the provisions of the Fifth Schedule and, secondly, that the Tribes Advisory Council should be a reality and not a farce. Let us not give it a big name, without any powers to do things.”

Mr.Jaipal Singh further accused the Drafting Committee for not consulting him before drafting the Fifth Schedule. He was of the opinion that, during the consultations and conferences held with respect to Fifth Schedule, he was not invited nor informed about the developments taken place and one fine day, the Drafting Committee proposed Fifth Schedule in the Constituent Assembly. He said, being an adivasi he wanted the first claim to be consulted in the proposed changes.

Dr.Ambedkar refuting the allegations made by Mr.Jaipal Singh and explaining the importance of Fifth Schedule (Articles 215-A (a) and 215-B (1)) says, “I may mention that the Drafting Committee in putting forth this new Schedule had discussed the matter with the representatives of the provinces who are concerned with this particular matter, namely of scheduled area and scheduled tribes. We had also taken into consideration the opinion of my honourable Friend,                 Mr.Thakkar, who knows a great deal about this matter and I may say without contradiction that this new Schedule has the approval of all the parties who are concerned in this matter, and I hope that the House will have no difficulty in accepting the new Schedule in place of the old one.”[7]

The above explanation evidently discards the empty allegations made by Prof.M.L. Garasiya that, Mr.Jaipal Singh spoke for the Adivasis but not Dr.Ambedkar. Its not difficult to understand Mr.Garasiya’s intentions behind degrading the immense contribution of Dr.Ambedkar who relentlessly spoke about the rights of SC, ST, OBC and Minorities. Dr.Ambedkar not only advocated for the said classes but has given fundamental rights to each and every citizen of this great nation. The intentions of Prof.M.L.Garasiya must be to create ideological differences and hatred for Dr.Ambedkar among the Scheduled Tribes!

After the elaborate discussion on Fifth Schedule by the members, Mr.K.M.Munshi on behalf of Drafting Committee explained the significance of Fifth Schedule.  Rejecting the allegation made by Mr.Jaipal Singh that he was not invited for any discussion prior to drafting the Fifth Schedule neither called for any meeting or conference, Mr.K.M.Munshi refutes his allegations thus, “Mr. President, Sir, I would not have intervened in this debate but for a couple of remarks of my friend Mr. Jaipal Singh. He complained that when some of us who are interested in this problem met at a conference he was not consulted. He will agree that it is not a fair charge. Three times my friend. Mr. Jadubans Sahai from Bihar was sent to invite him. He said he was coming but did not come”.[8]

The above para reveals that, the allegations made by Prof.M.L.Garasiya, that it was not Ambedkar but Jaipal Singh who spoke about the adivasi rights will understand that, Mr.Jaipal Singh never attended a meeting before drafting the Fifth Schedule. Neither he responded to the meeting calls made by the drafting committee. I do not understand on what basis Mr.Garasiya  claims that Mr.Jaipal Singh spoke for the Adivasis. This speaks about the intention of Prof.M.L.Garasiya for blaming Dr.B.R.Ambedkar without going through the correct history of constitution making. Fortunately we have enough documentary evidences to disprove any allegations raised by any anti constitutional and anti ambedkarrite forces.

Further, Mr.K.M.Munshi also clarified all the doubts and concerns raised by Mr.Jaipal Singh. Speaking on Mr.Jaipal Singh’s first motion supra (amendment 20) Mr.K.M.Munshi says “One of my honorable Friends amendments says (amendment No. 20) that after the words "Scheduled areas" wherever they occur the words "and scheduled tribes" be inserted. That would mean that any member of any scheduled tribe, even if he comes to a city and has been more or less absorbed in the life of the city, must still be regarded as a different individual from the rest of the community and must have a tribal committee to look after him. This will destroy the whole object which he says he has in view.”

“The third set of amendments which my honorable Friend, Mr. Jaipal Singh, has moved (amendments Nos. 47 and 52) and Mr. Yudhishthir Mishra's amendment No. 46, are to the effect that the Tribes Advisory Council should be miniature senates with power to aid and advise the Governor in all matters falling within the purview of this schedule; there should be a kind of responsible Government with regard to these matters under which the Governor should accept the advice of not of a ministry but an assembly. That is an utter absurdity.

Take the first case; an Act of the Parliament or an Act of the State would straightaway apply to the Scheduled area, but if the Governor thinks that in the interests of the tribals, certain sections of such an Act should not apply, he should be free so to decide. Is it possible for each Tribal Advisory, Committee of a small tribe to come to a common conclusion with regard to an elaborate Act of Parliament as to what provisions of it should or should not apply? Under the draft as it stands all that the Governor has to do is that they should be consulted with regard to regulations. In regard to notifications when he thinks that certain provisions of the Central Act or the Act of the State should not apply in the interests of the tribals, no previous consultation will be necessary because after all the sacred trust in respect of this step is placed on the Provincial Government.”[9]

Here, the point is to be noted that, the drafting committee was very clear and particular about the tribals and their rights.  Mr.Munshi explains that, the committee is indeed looking after the upliftment of scheduled tribes and all the necessary guidelines have been incorporated in the schedule. Mr.Munshi affirmed that the amendment proposed by Mr.Jaipal to include the word “Scheduled Tribes” in the said Para will ruin the very object of development.

Mr.Rajendra Prasad, the President of the Constituent Assembly proceeds further with the amendment no.27 moved by Mr.Jaipal Singh. The amendment was “decided to be negative” and paragraph 3 added to the Fifth Schedule AS IS proposed by Dr.B.R.Ambedkar !

The above explainations prove that Mr.Jaipal Singh’s amendments were not accepted by the Constituent Assembly. And therefore, Prof.M.L.Garasiya’s allegations has no life.

I would like to highlight some of the statements of the members of Constituent Assembly who acknowledged Dr.B.R.Ambedkar for raising the tribal rights issue in the assembly as follows;

Shri A. V. Thakkar: “Mr. President, Sir, It gives me very great pleasure to support Dr. Ambedkar's revised Schedule No. 5, because of two reasons. One is that it is very abridged. Abridgment does not take away anything from that except one or two small points, but it widens it in respect of inclusion of the tribals of the Indian States which have formed themselves into Unions as well as those that have merged in the provinces.”

He further adds before concluding his motion “…Sir, I have very great pleasure in saying that I support amendment No. 20 of Dr. Ambedkar that has been put forward. Not only has it been abridged, but it has widened the scope of its application.” [10]

Shri Jadubans Sahay (Bihar: General) : “Mr. President, Sir, I have taken my stand here in order to congratulate Dr. Ambedkar and those associated with him for having brought about this redrafted Schedule V. I congratulate them because Schedule V as originally drafted was too rigid as has been observed by Dr. Ambedkar.”[11]

Shri Muniswamy Pillay (Madras) : “…I think great credit is also due to the Drafting Committee for so ably bringing forward this Fifth Schedule which goes a long way to improve the conditions of the tribal people.”[12]

Shri Biswanath Das( Bihar): “My honorable Friend, Mr. Jaipal Singh, has spoken of conferences behind his back. There has been nothing of the kind. I appeal to him to shed this attitude of distrust of people who least deserves to be distrusted.”[13]

The above statements are from the learned members who participated in the constitution making. They applauded Dr.B.R.Ambedkar for putting for the Fifth Schedule which elaborately speaks on the tribal rights.

THP Chentharassery in his book “History of the Indigenous Indian” writes. “When Dr.Ambedkar took a resolute stand applied his sharp weapon of non-cooperation, Jawaharlal Nehru, Mukherjee and Patel realized the graveness and value of Ambedkar’s silent but meaningful protest. They made clear understanding on the problem with ambedkar. As a result of their capitulation and the compromise, the chapter on scheduled castes and scheduled tribes was included in the draft constitution.”[14]

Conclusion: -

Dr.B.R.Ambedkar during his lifetime has always fought for the rights of all the suppressed classes of India. Today we can find his extensive literature he wrote for defacing the caste system and ways to solve the problems of the suppresses masses.  In the book “Thoughts on Pakistan”(1942) Dr.B.R.Ambedkar advocated for special arrangements to Bihar and Orissa, where the tribals populations was higher. It is to be noted that most of the tribals were converted to Christianity and despite that, he advocated for their rights.

In his another book “Communal Deadlock And Ways to Solve It”(1945), he writes about the Aboriginal Tribes thus “…The Aboriginal Tribes have not as yet developed any political sense to make the best use of their political opportunities and they may easily become mere instruments in the hands either of a majority or a minority and thereby disturb the balance without doing any good to themselves. In the present stage of their development it seems to me that the proper thing to do for these backward communities is to establish a Statutory Commission to administer what are now called the ' excluded areas ' on the same basis as was done in the case of the South African Constitution. Every Province in which these excluded areas are situated should be compelled to make an annual contribution of a prescribed amount for the administration of these areas.”[15]

We have to understand that, at one side, Dr.Ambedkar was curious about the conditions of Scheduled Tribes that they will just be instrumental in the hands of majority(his prophesy has proved right in the present context). And therefore, he wanted to have a separate commission for the Scheduled Tribes to look after their conditions and propose developmental plans for them. That’s the reason he enshrined Art.342 especially for Scheduled Tribes. The Fifth and Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of India speaks about the tribals. Apart from this articles, we have Fundamental Rights (Art.12-35) applies to every citizen of the country. The Directive Principles of State Policies (Art.36-51) specifies the guidelines to the states to do every possible act to improve the conditions of all the citizens which includes the Scheduled Tribes (Adivasis).

From the above facts it is clear as a day light that constitutional rights that the scheduled castes/tribes and obcs enjoying today, are obtained not merely by the generosity or magnanimity of anybody. It has been achieved by the relentless and unremitting labour of Dr.Ambedkar and his activities. Had he not been there as the chairman of the drafting committee, the welfare of the scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and obcs and all other weaker sections would have been a mere dream.

With Regards…

Religious Fundamentalism: A World Crisis.

 The World is under serious crisis from the religious fundamentalists. In India and at h worldwide recent past events shows that how the SO CALLED SAVIOURS OF RELIGIONS are killing innocent people in the name of God (irrespective of which religion they belong to). We are witnessing killings, massacres, atrocities, inequalities, slavery in the name of religion and religious supremacy by few sick minded people, who believe their religion is under threat !

I would say that the religion is under threat from such sick minds who likes to kill innocent lives for their pleasure. Among all the religions worldwide, certain sect of strong believers (?) under the gurb of the religious teaching (for them religious teaching is to kill innocents, imposing sanctions and force them into slavery in the name of allah, god, bhagwan,creator) have become merciless ! The only work left to them is to kill those who speak/work against certain belief..! who speaks about science, rationality, equality, humanity, Their only work is to impose sanction on innocent people who can’t even resist their atrocities. Is this what the religions taught! Is this what the Allah, Jesus, God, Bhagwan have taught us? No religion speaks about killing innocents; no religion speaks about imposing its thoughts on others. Everyone has freedom and choice to like/dislike any faith. You cannot impose your thoughts/believe on others just to impose religious sanctions, you cannot impose your thoughts/beliefs just to prove that you are right and others are wrong! It has become a sin to speak about equality, rationality, and if we do so, we are either in jail or dead ! The fundamentalists have infringed one’s fundamental right to express !

The world is at unrest..! man has divided this beautiful world into pieces now ! Religion, traditions, beliefs, geographical boundaries, political and economic supremacy is the new phenomena being practiced and imposed everywhere. Religion is playing a big role in dividing people. The world is divided into Buddhist Countries, Christian Countries, Muslim Countries, Communist Countries and Hindu Nation. Each region/religion is trying to impose itself on others either by way of religion, politics or by economic supremacy. And this is resulting in creating hatred among all..! Earlier, Muslim countries used to fight against Christian Countries and Vice Versa. Muslims Vs Hinduism, Christianity Vs Hinduism; Buddhism Vs Brahminism /Hinduism is an age old crisis in Indian Sub continent. Western and Northern world were in conflict over political and economic supremacy over each another. This is known fact and I don’t have to explain in details.

The most surprising facts to me in the recent times are to see that the religious fundamentalists have started imposing sanctions onto their own people (they claim so). Each religion be it Islam, Christianity, Hindus etc has different sects and belief within the religion. They have their own caste/community classifications which speaks about social hierarchy of the sub castes. for ex. Shias and Sunnis in Islam, Catholics and Protestants in Christianity, Varna/Caste System in Hindu religion, Mahayanis and HinYanis in Buddhist. One sect wants other sects to be under them. Since the ages the hierarchical supremacy is prevalent but what I see that, it has emerged as the strongest disbeliefs and sense of supereriority among the higher caste people. They want the subordinate castes/communities to be under them by hook or crook. They not only want them to be inferior to them but also impose sanctions, inequality, atrocities and what not !  it is evident from the recent past conflicts between Shias and Sunnis in Islamic countries that the internal conflicts has rose to such an extent that mass killings, massacres, wars have been imposed on nations. The common man who is unaware of all these things, who strives hard to fulfill his daily necessities is the worst affected with these religious wars and massacres!women is the most affected entity in all these conflicts. She can neither resist nor raise her voice against any atrocities and inequalities. The condition of women in muslim countries is worst comparing to other nations. UNICEF notes that out of 24 nations with less than 60% female primary enrollment rates, 17 were Islamic nations; more than half the adult population is illiterate in several Islamic countries, and the proportion reaches 70% among Muslim women.

राजकीय सत्ता...

राजिकय सत्ता चाहिए, राजकीय सत्ता चाहिए..तभी सब अत्याचार बंद होंगे यह सोचना पूर्णतः मूर्खता है ऐसा मैं मानता हूँ. हमने बुद्ध,बाबासाहेब के आंदोलन से न कुछ सीखा है और न ही कुछ सीखना चाहते है यह सीधे तौर पर दिख रहा है. बौद्धों की ऐतिहासिक धरोहर इतनी वैभवशाली और कीर्तियो से भरी पड़ी होने के बावजूद वर्तमान में हालात कुछ ठीक नही दिखते. जिस तरह उन्हें हर क्षेत्र में उपेक्षित किया जा रहा और जिस तरह वह अपने आपको आंदोलन में सक्रिय रखते है, जिस तरह हजारो संघटन होने के बावजूद अत्याचार कम नही हो रहे है, और साथ ही अंतर्विरोध अपने चरमसीमा पर पहुंच चुका है. ईसे देखते हुवे हमे निश्चत ही स्वपरिक्षण करने की जरूरत है.  सिक्खों के पास कौनसी राजकीय सत्ता है? मुसलमानों के पास कौनसी राजकीय सत्ता है?ईसाईयों के पास कौनसे राज्य है जिनमे वह राजकीय क्षेत्र में सक्रिय है? जैनो की कौनसी पार्टी राजनीति में ताकतवर है? तो फिर इन सभी अल्पसंख्यांको पास ऐसा क्या है जो वह राजनीति में सीधे तौर पर ना होकर भी एक शक्तिशाली अल्पसंख्यांको की तरह देश के हर कोने में, हर क्षेत्र में ताकतवर है और उनपर किसी भी तरह के अन्याय अत्याचार होते नही दिखते? नीचे दिए गये क्षेत्रो में वह एकसंघ है ऐसा मैं मानता हूँ.

1.सामाजिक और धार्मिक एकता
2.आर्थिक सक्षमता
3.स्वावलंबिता
4.हम श्रेष्ठ है यह भावना
5.धार्मिक विषयो में एकसंघता
6.राजकीय क्षेत्र में एकमत
7.समाज के हर तबके को आर्थिक सहायता करके उनकी स्थिति को ऊपर उठने की इच्छा और निश्चित कार्यक्रम.

ऐसे बोहोत से कारण है जिनकी वजह से बौद्धों को छोड़ बाकी अल्पसंख्यांक अपनी एक जगह बनाकर देश मे जी रहे है.यह बात सच है के जिस तेजी से हमने हर क्षेत्र में प्रगति की हैं उसकी दुनिया मे कोई मिसाल नही है लेकिन हमें इस बात को भी स्वीकार करना पड़ेगा के धार्मिक और राजकीय स्थिति उतनी ही गंभीर है . यह कहना के सिर्फ राजनीतिक ताकत ही सब समस्याओ का हल है गलत होगा. क्योंकि सामाजिक एकता और एकसंघता ही राजनीति तय करती है यह बात जब तक हमे समझेगी नही तबतक हम ऐसे ही अपने आपमें और अपने दुश्मनों से और अपने आपसे लड़ते रहेंगे, जानें जाती रहेंगी, आंदोलन होते रहेंगे, मोर्चे निकले जाएंगे और आखिर में शाम को घर मे बैठ कर आंदोलन के ऊपर हमारी प्रतिक्रियाएं देने के अलावा ओर कुछ हाथ मे नही रहेगा.

Work earnestly

If we work under the assumption that I am the only leader and  people should accept  my leadership , then we can never achieve  success. #Jignesh has achieved success by mobilizing the masses and fought  the movement hoenstly. Besides that the oppressed people have realised  Jignesh's sincerity throughout the movement he led from the front.  If the youth leaders of Maharashtra show that their honesty towards the movement and bring confidence into the hearts/minds of the voters that  issues of the society are bigger than self glorification and self leadership,  I am confident that we can repeat the Gujarat victory in Maharashtra and other states as well.

If we all work together, I am very much confident that we can achieve success. Proper planning has to be made by creating a common platform. Areas should be decided as to who will contest elections in which areas and such campaign has to be run by everyone, then only we can expect some good results.

Mere shouting is not enough..! Sooner we understand the importance of  unification better for us. We have one one year for 2019 elections. If we use our intellectuals capacities, financially, and ground level resources, we can surely give a good political alternative to the society in coming days.

Forceful Conversion and Contradiction

Forceful Conversion and Contradiction of the so called Nationalists...

I have been listening feom the so called nationalists that the conversions done by Christian missionaries is wrong. I agree that forceful conversion of anyone is wrong and an individual can profess practice any religion of his choice.

The recent religious conversion of few muslim families in Hindu folds is also a forceful conversion in d name of "Return to Home". The confession of converted families is that they were forced to convert for somw silly benefits such as ration cards etc...the act is Purely Anti Constitutional. At one hand the so called nationalists criticizes Christian Minorities forceful conversions and at the other hand these outfits are doing the same...HOW CONTRADICTORY...People are educated and prudent enough to understand all this now.

Art.25-28 gived all d citizens of India the right to profess practice religion of their own choice. It also restricts forceful religious conversions.

The fundamentalist organizations are trying to force their ideologies on common man forceful and trying to mislead on issues irrelevantly. Religion is for man man is not for religions...!

Beware...!

We are Indians Firstly and Indians Lastly...

Mala and Madigas have started a war against each other

Looks like Mala and Madigas have started a war against each other for superiority and share in the rights.

Both sections seems to have forgotten the message of Babasaheb urging us to unit and fight the real enemy. So far as the share in rights is concerned, the Messiah asked us to leave the caste dirt and have a universal identity. Both sects(Mala/Madigas) speaks about Babasaheb without understanding the very spirit of his sacrifices and philosophy.

There is no rocket science in letting you all that as long we people fight between us, the real enemy will take advantage of our enmity and keep crushing us as they are doing it since ages.

Time has to come to sit together and settle the scores and work together hand in hand against the real enemy. Please make sure we are not ONE.We need to fight as ONE UNIT AND STRENGTH. That's what Babasaheb wanted us to do.

If you're not working,thinking in the direction shown by Babasaheb, the day is near where again our people will be slaves MODERN SLAVES of the brahminical system. However let me tell you guys that if we are talking about caste and fight for caste rights and supremacy WE CANT CLAIM TO BE AMBEDKSRITES...

Nothing more to say..!

We are all masters of our own..!

Difference between sitting Buddha and Walking Buddha...!

Some 2000-2500 years before communication was generally in form of symbol/image because it speak lot more with minimum words or no words...!

everywhere we found Buddha in sitting posture with silent gesture on face. I am very much dis-comfortable with such kind injustice with Buddha...Buddha has not become Buddha just because of his sitting experience under the Peepal tree or Bodhi tree BUT he had up most will to free people out of Dukka (sorrow)...man has not sorrow of his mental satisfaction (very personal) but physical too as freedom to live,i.e. liberty.

Sitting Buddha and seeking enlightenment is very personal act and self reflective view which Buddha certainly would have not expected neither he himself did it. One may think that he following Buddha by imitating him like how he sit under trees and do meditation and freeing own from all social obligation...bull shit...

Buddha have taught 84000 Gatha's (teaching) such innumerable teaching...! how it could possible for himself...? such huge works..?

By sitting under tree one how one can do this huge works ..he must have wander for thousand of kilometer for day and night,suffering rain or sun...he did it because he was Buddha..he cared not his personal life what he cared is life of other...! Because he was Buddha....

By watching sitting Buddha one may not fueled himself/herself for great passionate works to free other from the bondage of mental as well as social junk...! yes what i want to say that Buddha was equally passionate for "social revolution" he "REVOLTED" against social inequality caused by Bramhin....But some smart minded used Buddha image powerfully to depict Buddha as "spiritual revolutionary" it was deliberately done to pursue people from social struggle and demand for social equality....

Buddha have been loved by everybody in India he was "most honored son of soil"

Now we should change our attitude to see Buddha as sitting and spiritual..instead we should see him walking and revolting against social inequalities....so we can fueled our-self to fight against social inequality.
