When Hindus refused to implement constitutional reservation, will they give quota in private sector?
A noted Delhi industrialist, Bharat Ram, said if the govt. A forced them to take Dalits on the job, he would prefer to send them their salary home rather than have them working on the premises.
In other words, the private sector is not ready to accept reservation to Dalits. This is final. Statutory reservation in the private sector may be the only solution to ensure the participation of Dalits but the private sector says no.
When the upper castes heading the public sector have conspired to sabotage the statutory reservation will the same castes heading the private sector oblige? The govt. itself is not interested in private sector reservation.
Sweetest song: Private sector reservation is the sweetest song our people would like to hear today. Any seminar on private sector reservation gets lot of contribution from Dalit officers. Such seminars or conferences are held in expensive halls and also gets lot of publicity. The hall is packed. But the problem of private sector reservation has not marched even an inch towards solution in the past couple of years.
Country’s top industrialists led by the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) have made it clear to the govt. that their door is shut. They are honest about it. Top Indian industrialists are all upper castes mostly Brahmin, Marwari (Bania), Parsee who hate the very concept of reservations.
Money-driven society: They have not started the industry to serve the cause of the country. Their mission is to multiply their money by hook or crook. They are flag-bearers of the money-driven society guiding us today. Our Khatri Sikh PM and his Chettiar FM are also votaries of the very same money-driven society. The difference is the industrialists are honest but our politician PM and FM are dishonest.
Our govt. led by the Khatri Sikh PM, the Chettiar FM and the World Bank nominee Montek Singh Ahluwalia heading the Planning Commission also hate reservation though for political reasons they won’t say so openly.
Muslims already cheated: The PM has already cheated the Muslims through the Sachar Committee report (DV Feb. 1, 2007 p.5: “PM-FM conspiracy to sabotage Sachar Committee report on Muslims?”).
Narendra Modi has slaughtered 2,500 Muslims in Gujarat and is honest enough to openly boast about his achievements. His crime is confined to Gujarat but the Khatri Sikh PM’s crimes have an all-India sweep.
Enough has been said in DV about the double-face of the Khatri Sikh PM who in his heart of heart is hard-core Brahminical. That is why the entire Brahminical rulers are so much in love with him.
When that is the truth what is the point in simply misguiding the Dalits about private sector reservation and raising false hopes when the ruling upper castes are hell bent to scrap constitutional reservation itself?
We can understand the Khatri Sikh PM and his cronies raising false hopes to keep the Dalits within their fold but why our educated and highly placed Dalits are going gaga over this mirage?
American model: India’s Brahminical ruling. class is a blind follower of the American model of money-driven society. But Dalits as children of Babasaheb Ambedkar must be votaries of the value-driven society. They should not have fallen a prey to these Brahminical machinations.
Our fear is that the Brahminical rulers afraid of the Dalit fury are using our elite Dalits to pour water on the burning fire of Dalit anger.
Constitutional reservations both as reserved constituencies and reservations in education and employment-have killed the anger in Dalits and smoothly co-opted them into Hinduism. Though the reservations have benefitted only about 5% of the Dalits and 95% of our people are still out of it, the Gandhian plan worked wonderfully well.
Slaves enjoying slavery: Not only our people became slaves but slaves enjoying their slavery. Our educated and employed Dalits, who should have been in the forefront of the Ambedkarite movement fighting the Brahminical rulers, have been so much tamed and fully co-opted. This is the greatest tragedy facing the community. But the Brahmin rulers go on fooling them by showing one or other mirage. The private sector reservation is the latest mirage.
We are well aware that Dalit Voice will become more unpopular with the reservationwalas. As DV is already neck deep in water, we are no longer afraid of cold. As Ambedkarites we are not afraid of speaking out the Truth even if it is unpleasant.
