AAP: The construction of a fantasy!

Dalit
By Yogesh Maitreya, A day afterthe Delhi Assembly Election results wereannounced, Indian media has started to exercise its usual prejudiced, hegemonic commentary and telecast over AAP’s win. Meanwhile discriminatory practices (continuously reported by Marathi dailies like Samrat and Mahanak) in Indian villages on the caste lines or even in its urban pockets have been neglected as usual by ‘popular media’ as if AAP’s victory has resolved issues related to most marginalised sections of society or of all Aam Indians. In this process public imagination fed by Delhi’s election result, has further created a biased perception towards AAP in people’s mind.

Worshipping Gods in the times of Elections

Dalit
By Ram Puniyani, Arun Shourie, who was part of NDA, a fellow traveler and an ideologue of BJP wrote several books, many of them against minorities and dalits in particular. One of these which was strongly protested against by large sections of people, dalits in particular, was his “Worshipping False Gods”. In this book he expressed the mind set of RSS-BJP politics towards Ambedkar. In this long bulky volume he was heavily critical of Ambedkar’s ideology, his agitations for democratic values and his struggles for social justice. Now a decade and half later on one side many a dalit leaders, Ramvilas Paswan, Udit Raj, Ramdas Athwaley are vying to sit in the lap of the politics of BJP for apparently their own personal gains on one side and on the other the BJP’s Prime Ministerial Candidate Narendra Modi is going miles to woo the sections of dalits. It is another matter that while doing this in his usual trade mark style he has no qualms about misrepresenting the events, speaking lies and putting the blame of all that has not taken place to his political adversaries.

By A. Mirsab, TwoCircles.net, New Delhi: The alleged gang rape and murder of two dalit girls on 27 May 2014 in the Katra village of Budaun district, Uttar Pradesh has been condemned largely throughout the country by every section of the society. The condemnation did not stop within the borders of the country but international organizations have also expressed their dissatisfaction towards lack of adequate sanitation facilities and growing sexual violence of women resulting into the violations of human rights in India. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon appalled by the brutal rape and killing of two dalit girls in UP whereas Amnesty International has criticized the police machinery of India who have time and again found to have derelict towards registering and investigating cases of rapes of low caste girls and their lackadaisical behavior in booking higher caste culprits in those cases.

Purifying Your Wealth and Targeting Poverty and Inequality

Dalit
By Althaf Shajahan, Running regressions and making sense of data is my job. We were working on a sort of data analysis where we had to consider different socio-economic groups and using data on three variables, viz. household income, consumption and assets which would together measure something we may term us material well-being and compute an inequality adjusted index value for each group. As expected, Dalits, Adivasis and Muslims fared the worst. Yeah! What’s new in this? Sachar report and every possible report speak about this. Well here, the index needs to be explained. Our index measures household indicators of well. While it aggregates across all the members of the groups, it discounts for the inequality among the members. (Refer the original computations in the figure below ). While searching the data for Muslim cases, I did see observations on Muslim community members who belong to the top percentiles and quintiles of either income or wealth. It is this inequality that makes me mull over. Intra-community inequality is not the concern of the state. While it is possible for Muslims as citizens of this nation to ask for state support and schemes citing their vulnerability as much as Dalits or Adivasis are, public policy may or may not consider it. But the inbuilt poverty and inequality targeting systems needs to be looked at.

After the darkest of dark clouds of uncertainty prevailing over AMU, the acting Vice Chancellor Prof Saleem Uddin has taken a courageaous and bold step to appoint a very competent team of administrators (Registrar-Prof. Jawed Masarrat; Controller of Exams – Prof. Akhtar Haseeb; and Proctor- Prof Muzaffar Ahmad Siddiqui), to beam a ray of hope among the student community. I take this opportunity to congratulate the VC and all the newly appointed stalwarts, for accepting the challenge and wish that their dedicated efforts will shed all fears among students and their parents.
