Second Neo Dalit Consultation at Haridwar,Uttarakhand for inclusive and plural India

From sacred place of Haridwar in Uttarakhand,PVCHR take opportunity of calling for a ‛‛Neo-Dalit’’ Movement – combining shudras and ati-shudras from all regions who have been systematically subjugated over the centuries due to their caste or religion.

With this view, the Neo Dalit consultation organized on 20th January, 2019 in Hardiwar by PVCHR in association of Media Vigil Trust, Frontpage Publication(UK), United against hate and PVCHR,Uttarakhand unit . It is one step further after the neo dalit consultation on 9th August 2018, on the occasion of Quit India Movement, at the Moolgadi Kabirchaura Math, Varanasi, India and Banaras Convention for better India and for better world.

In today’s parlance, as you might kindly appreciate, the main problems facing the country come from a ‛‛culture of impunity’’ - which is a shared belief that few can act without being accountable for their actions – at social, economic and political level.

At the convention, it will be our endeavour to explain why this popular movement is going to be the best way to remove this ‛‛culture of impunity’’ and most importantly, how best the opinion leaders from all communities have a great role to play on this major gathering. Our understanding is that many problems that India faces today are linked together and therefore, cannot be separated, both in understanding and resolution. For that reason, the most effective way to resolve them is to address the problem in a comprehensive approach that takes into account the political, economic and sociological issues and seeks solutions which would take care of those different yet ‛‛linked problems’’, based on a popular movement.

Five year advocacy of PVCHR for Musahar in UP

Case Details of File Number: 36047/24/72/2013

Complainant: PEOPLES' VIGILANCE COMMITTE OF HUMAN RIGHT, SA 4/2 A,

Action Taken:

The matter rested thus when the Commission directed that the State Administration should get a special survey of the entire Musahar community living in the State conducted and include their names in the BPL list, Antodaya list and other lists as per their eligibility. This should be done as a special case and should not be dependent upon exclusion of an equal number of names from the BPL list as per the existing provisions. Similarly, this exercise should also not await publication of the fresh list. State Government shall make out efforts to complete this process of enumeration within a period of three months and report compliance to the Commission by 31st March, 2014. In response, the ADM (Administration), Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh vide communication dated 12.3.2015 submitted that the matter was enquired through District Development Officer, Varanasi, who has informed that in Pindra Block, Varanasi, all the complainants have been provided ration card, identity card and hand pump has been established in Musahar Basti, which is in working order. However, in the general village panchayat so far Lohia Awas have not been given but as soon as the grant is received, the same will also be given to the villagers. The Commission further considered the matter on 27.8.2015 when it observed and directed as under: - “The report has received only in respect of Pindra Block, Varanasi but the Commission on 27.11.2013 has requested the State Government of Uttar Pradesh to make all efforts to get a special survey of the entire Musahar community living in the State of UP conducted and ensure inclusion of their names in the BPL list, Antodaya list and other lists as per their eligibility. The same has not been received. Chief Secretary, Government of UP be asked to order special survey in the light of direction issued by the Commission on 27.11.2013 and response be submitted within eight weeks. Copy of proceedings dated 27.11.2013 be sent to the Chief Secretary, Government of UP for information and action thereon”. In response, the DM, Varanasi, submitted a report dated 20.05.2017 along with a report of Lekhpal dated 16.04.2016, District Supply Officer dated 04.10.2016, District welfare Officer, Varanasi, dated 29.04.2016, BDO Pindra, Varanasi, dated 28.04.2016, Project Director, District Village Development Authority, Varanasi, dated 27.05.2016 and BDO, Pindra, dated 24.05.2016. The report reveals that the different departments of the District have stated that they have taken stock of the Musahar community in the Gram Sabha of Nehiya. The authorities have stated that they have given Musahar community all the benefits under the authorized benevolent scheme of Govt. of India as well as Govt. of UP. The reports have revealed that Musahar community has been given the election card, Antodaya/Ration Card, Old Age Pension and benefits under the scheme of Samajwadi Pension Yojna. The Commission again considered the matter on 20.9.2017 when it observed and directed as under: - “The Commission perused the record and observed that it had directed the Chief Secretary, Govt. of UP, vide its proceedings dated 27.08.2015 to get a special survey of the Musahar community living in the entire State of UP, conducted and ensure inclusion of their names in the BPL list, Antodaya list and other lists as per their eligibility and submit a report within eight weeks. The non-inclusion of the names of the families of Musahar community in the category of very poor and thus denying them the benefits of various social security and social welfare schemes of Centre and the State Government tentamounts to violation of their right to life with dignity, gurarateed under Article 20 of the constitution. Hence, if the suggested survey and the follow up action thereon is delayed any further, the Commission shall take recourse to coercive action u/s 13 of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993. However, it appears that the survey has not been conducted, as directed by the Commission. The Commissions, therefore, directs the Chief Secretary, Govt. of UP, to get a survey conducted of the Musahar community living in various districts of UP and submit a report on the points as directed by the Commission in its proceedings dated 27.08.2015 within four months positively”. In response, the Chief Secretary, Government of Uttar Pradesh vide his communication dated 22.1.2018 has submitted a report on constituting a committee for giving benefits under social welfare schemes to the people of Mushahar community in the State. The details of such beneficiaries under certain schemes in four districts of Gorakhpur Zone have also been indicated. The Chief Secretary Government of Uttar Pradesh shall see that the initiatives taken by him are monitored and reviewed periodically. Since the initiative has been taken at the highest level in the State, no further intervention on the part of the Commission is called for and the case is closed.

Invitation: Neo Dalit Convention at Haridwar,Uttrakhand,India

Sir/Madam,

Greetings from Haridwar,India.

From this sacred place, may I take this opportunity of calling for a ‛‛Neo-Dalit’’ Movement – combining shudras and ati-shudras from all regions who have been systematically subjugated over the centuries due to their caste or religion.

With this view, the Neo Dalit consultation has been called on 20th January, 2019 in Hardiwar. It is going to be one step further after the neo dalit consultation on 9th August 2018, on the occasion of Quit India Movement, at the Moolgadi Kabirchaura Math, Varanasi, India and Banaras Convention for better India and for better world.

In today’s parlance, as you might kindly appreciate, the main problems facing the country come from a ‛‛culture of impunity’’ - which is a shared belief that few can act without being accountable for their actions – at social, economic and political level.

At the convention, it will be our endeavour to explain why this popular movement is going to be the best way to remove this ‛‛culture of impunity’’ and most importantly, how best the opinion leaders from all communities have a great role to play on this major gathering. Our understanding is that many problems that India faces today are linked together and therefore, cannot be separated, both in understanding and resolution. For that reason, the most effective way to resolve them is to address the problem in a comprehensive approach that takes into account the political, economic and sociological issues and seeks solutions which would take care of those different yet ‛‛linked problems’’, based on a popular movement.
