Bangalore: Whole thing looks mischievous – a fraud on Dalits. We feel that even the Manmohan Singh Govt. has joined the anti-social tycoons in fooling Dalits on reservation in private sector.
Two reports appeared side by side on June 1, 2005. One announcing the tycoons led by Ratan Tata shedding tears for Dalits and the other report saying that the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII) led by Y.C. Deveshwar opposing reservation in private sector.
We feel the Govt. of India itself is having a hand in this mischief.
Anti-Dalit minister: The first report says the “corporate houses assured that the govt. would not resort to legislative action to impose a statutory obligation of reservation on them”. It says Union Minister for Social Justice, Mrs. Meira Kumar. herself made this announcement.
Meira Kumar, daughter of Jagjivan Ram, though a Dalit is known for her anti-Dalit stand.
Will the upper castes, who cheated the Dalits on constitutional reservation, offer reservation in private sector when there is not even a constitutional compulsion?
Dr. Manmohan Singh, a merit-mongering upper caste Sikh, is the blue-eyed boy of the corporate sector. Together with tycoons, they are trying to fool the Dalits. But those clamoring for private sector reservation are our super-elite Dalits who are already fully Brahminised. Having deceived their village-dwelling blood brothers, they don’t mind getting deceived by the upper castes.
