“It is a landmark honor for me, my colleagues, think tanks
and advisors at the Peoples’ Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR), partner organizations especially
Child Right and You (CRY),Global Fund Children(GFC)–USA,
FK-Norway, INSEC-Nepal, IRCT (International Rehabilitation Council of
Torture Victims), FORUM Asia, Tata Trusts, Indo-German Society of
Remscheid and associates, Ms. Helma Ritscher from Germany,
Shruti Nagvanshi of Varanasi and Ms. Parul Sharma of Sweden to receive the
Bharatiya Manavata Vikas Puraskar fighting for the dignity of the poor, marginalized
and the “Untouchables” of India. Thanks a lot to distinguished Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri ji and Power Brand.
The Secretary General
of the Council of Europe Thorbjørn Jagland portrays the authentic picture
of marginalized, “The poor and marginalized are ignored by political parties
and the media. When they are victims of crime they hesitate to report it
because they do not trust the police or courts. Corruption is widespread.
Poor people are forced to pay for protection and services which, according
to human rights law, should be free. The economic crisis only makes things
worse, providing an excuse for politicians to blame the victims rather
than help them.”
The main problems facing the India emerge from two things:
the implementation of a ‘culture of impunity’, which is a shared belief that
few can act without being accountable for their actions, at the social,
economic and political level and the cognitive problem in the context of market
democracy and economic globalization. This explanation reveals how the
combination of those two factors – cognitive and contextual – allow the rise of
a Neo-Fascism state – an authoritarian state, which wants to make one country
with one nation – and the implementation of aggressive Neo-Liberal capitalism –
which perpetuate social and economic injustice.
Thereafter, we propose a way to correct and change this
situation by calling for the creation of a ‘Neo-Dalit’ movement – combining
Shudras and ati-Shudras from all regions, which would formulate popular
movement against the ‘culture of impunity’ through mobilization of opinion
among leaders from all communities.The Neo-Dalit movement is a sign of hope, honor
and human dignity for the most marginalized people facing discrimination based
on race, caste, religion and gender. The Nelson Mandela model is the path for
PVCHR’s Neo- Dalit movement to bring unity of different communities against the
caste system, feudalism, communal-Fascism and Neo-Liberalism, through
reconciliation for justice and human dignity against the culture of impunity
based on silence. It promises to contribute, in posterity, to the pluralistic
democracy in the world.
The multifaceted problems of our country are interconnected.
In order to understand and solve these, we must view the dire problem in
totality, not in isolation. We need a comprehensive multi-layer and
multi-dimensional approach that considers economic, cultural, political and
social factors. The People’s Vigilance Committee on Human Rights (PVCHR) and
its partners are actively attempting to fill this opportunity space by courting
constructive dialogue with others, all stripes, spots and ideological leanings.
Focusing on the diversity of caste experience, rather than being
counter-intuitive to movement goals of creating Dalit self-esteem represents a
primary step toward creating lasting structural change in the process of
strengthening Dalit self-esteem.
There are a lot of best practices based on innovation,
resilience, cost effectiveness and participation of children and another target
group. Elimination of the culture of silence, fear and phobia of organized
violence and torture are the predominant factors of resilience to inculcate
social transformation. It contributes in poverty elimination. The stories of
Sarai and Sakara villages are the classical examples of how change happens. The
success of Sarai village achieved by the people of Sarai is creating waves and
resilience in the struggle against poverty, injustice, caste system and torture
and organized violence, as a slogan: ‘You Can!’ Government of India needs to
implement learning of grass roots level for quality, social justice
and human welfare.
“Rabindranath Tagore, a Bengali polymath who reshaped
Bengali literature and music in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and
recipient of Nobel Prize in Literature, in 1913, rightly described a value
for India in his follows poem in Gitanjali:
“Where the mind is without fear
and the head is held high;
Where knowledge is free;
Where the world has not been
broken up into fragments
by narrow domestic walls; …
Where the clear stream of reason
has not lost its way into the
dreary desert sand of dead habit; …
Into that heaven of freedom,
My Father, let my country awake.
“Martin Luther King rightly says, ‘The urgency of the hour
calls for leaders of wise judgment and sound integrity – leaders not in
love with money, but in love with justice; leaders not in love with
publicity, but in love with humanity; leaders who can subject their particular
egos to the greatness of the cause.’
“India needs a better government that protects its own
people and brings them together to build a strong nation-state, and to
give them dignity and honor. “Hence, in all humbleness and humility, I accept the Bharatiya
Manavata Vikas Puraskaras a step toward a different India, grounded on the
values of justice, freedom and integrity.
“Thank you.”
