Bangalore: The 15% upper castes who rule from centuries have become more merciless after they got “independence” in 1947. Look at the arrogance of these rulers.
These upper castes are carrying on their racist rule only because the SC/STs are not even getting angry. The moment they start getting angry, the micro-minority rulers will piss in their pants. Read the following Times of India report of Dec. 11. 2009
Madras: The Madras High Court has directed at least five nationalized banks to follow the rule of reservation for promotion of SC/ST candidates to officer ranks. A division bench comprising Justice Elipe Dharma Rao and Justice C.T. Selvam, citing a central govt. memo of Aug. 13, 1997, said: “When the Constitution has given an extra protection to the underprivileged communities so as to ensure equal opportunities as guaranteed by the constitution, the banks are not justified in sleeping over the matter of providing reservation in promotions for a decade with no good reason to offer”. The petitions and appeals were filed by the SC/ST employees’ associations of various nationalized banks, seeking a direction to the banks to provide reservation in promotions to officers from scale I to Scale VII as per the instructions issued by the Centre.
The banks, however, said promotion to officers’ grade is on the basis of merit-cum-seniority, to which reservation policy cannot be made application.
Justice Dharma Rao said: “We are unable to understand such a sweeping and generalized argument advanced on the part of the banks, as if all the employees belonging to these underprivileged classes are inefficient and not suitable for promotion. When the Union of India has directed the banks to follow the rule of reservation in promotions in all cadres as early as in the year 1997, there is no impediment for the banks to implement the same. However, for no better reason to be appreciated, the banks are adamant in not implementing the office memo”.
