Apartheid funded by tax payers money

In an era when one set of Indians is manning the world’s knowledge back-office with distinction, another set of children — in Madhya Pradesh, which the ruling BJP often showcases as a “model state” – has to face such discrimination and humiliation. Everyday.This Indian version of apartheid is taking place in schools and childcare centres run by the government, and in schemes funded by the tax-payer’s — in other words, your – money.

They are forced to sit in separate rows, bring utensils from home or given food in plates marked boldly with permanent ink to distinguish them from the rest.According to a survey on social discrimination conducted by Jansahas, an NGO, and Unicef, in 24 villages across four districts – Ujjain, Sheopur, Katni and Jhabua – in Madhya Pradesh, more than 63 per cent of Dalit children are subjected to caste discrimination while being served mid-day meals in government schools.They are forced to sit in separate rows, bring utensils from home or given food in plates marked boldly with permanent ink to distinguish them from the rest.The Mid-Day Meal Scheme, funded by the government, is the world’s largest school lunch programme and covers 120 million children. Ironically, one of the key objectives of the scheme is to increase socialisation among children of different caste groups.“As many as 40 per cent of Dalit students facing discrimination were given mid-day meals inplates specially set aside for them,” Jansahas activist Ashif Sheikh told Hindustan Times. While some were asked to bring utensils from home, most were served their mid-day meals on leaf plates. Non-Dalits, however, were served on metal plates.The survey found that most teachers were insensitive to the discrimination against Dalits because of caste-based traditions being followed in rural areas, he said.In a majority of the schools surveyed, Dalit students were not allowed to sit in the front row. As many as 78 per cent of school-going Dalit students were backbenchers or forced away from the front row and subjected to casteist abuses.And 79 per cent of such students were compelled to clean the schools. In some schools, this chore was given only to Dalit girls.The survey found that the Anganwadi scheme, a government-sponsored mother and childcare scheme catering to children in the 0-6 age group, also discriminates against Dalits. About 59 per cent of Dalits said they desisted from sending their children to the local anganwadi facilities.The victims claimed that Dalit children were not allowed to enter the anganwadis and were forced to accept nutritional supplements outside the building.The survey concluded that caste discrimination is one of the prominent reasons for the absence of Dalit children from school.

UNTOUCHABLITY EXPLORED FOR BLIND EYES

LAWS OF MANU PROVED IN THIS
20TH CENTURY

Proved right or wrong !! you decide.

In this video See what a chief priest of Varanasi
temple and General Secretary of Scholars
Association of Varanasi tells about Caste
System and Dalits.

In the following video, see more Jobs with 100 %
reservation for Dalits and the priest continuing what
he has read in Vedas. And not to forget, the youth
wants justice.

Could'nt draw water from wells and enter temples
was all history right!!!

and the different utensils for different castes too....

Shameful but true. Watch respectable
Shrankacharya telling about what is pure and
what is impure.

And learn from Rajputs, How Power controls
castes or rather castes control Power. And
untouchability is not crime but a rule here.

Continuing.............

watch out police role

It is for those who don't even know
in which society they are living or
just don't want to come out of their
dream world. Some castes mind deny
and do their best to bury the reality.
When I posted this video on the orkut
community named "India" which is the
largest Indian community present on
Orkut or may be on any social website
having more than 8 lakh members.
Firstly the thread was deleted 3 times.
then when convinced one moderator to
let it be, it got good and positive replies
about 100 in just one hour. But next
day other moderator deleted it and i
was removed from the community
quoting these videos cant be verified
by him so they cant allow it. While i
myself argued a lot about other such
threads already present in the community
and positive replies by the members on my
thread and even asked that let people
decide what is right and wrong,but
it was strict No.
But soon I found out the moderator was
member of Anti-reservation protests.
I asked her wether she is against
reservation for untouchables or against
untouchables itself.
She had no reply. This kind of mindset is
inherent in the people of India and that is
why such situation is still there.
I dont know what to expect from a
moderator of such a big online community
but it is clear at the top people are biased
and they want rest of the masses to view,
and think.

CASTEISM IN OTHER RELIGIONS

LEARN ABOUT HOW THIS EVIL HINDUISM CREATED, SPREAD FROM ITS ROOTS AND INFECTED THE TREES OF OTHER RELIGIONS

Caste system in Sikhism.

Different Gurudwaras, Different doors in same Gurudwara. Hindus adopted Sikhism but took caste system along with it .It is the game of power, landlords, castes, and politics that runs Punjab.

Caste system in Christianity

Dalits got converted to Christianity to escape this evil

but even in God's own place Kerela, Hinduism

influence has made Caste system to be more important

than God.

Different Churches and Different woes.

Caste system in Islam

Dalit converts here too did'nt get refuge in this Cast
infected society.

It has not just become a matter a religion now.

This society is more of Caste-obessed than
Religion-obessed.

Childless Indian couples demand to know 'caste' of sperm donors

This is a Headline report published in Hindustan Times on 6 April 2009 on the front page.

Are you blind enough to know what caste is in Indian Society ?

As many educated hypocrites say Is it just limited to surname and marriage now?

HT report:Playing God in caste-crazy Bihar

Patna, Bihar, April 06, 2009

If many childless parents in Bihar had their way, they would want vaults at sperm banks with clear labels: “Brahmin”. “Bhumihar”. “Yadav”.

Couples opting for sperm donations in Bihar are demanding to know the donor’s caste before they go ahead — and often getting their answers as well.

“Neither features nor height nor even IQ concerned us as much,” says Anuradha Rai (36), an Internet marketing manager from the Bhumihar community. “My husband felt if the sperm donor was from a different caste, the baby would not get the right genes.”

It is a stunning statement of how even young, urban, educated Indians, their lives transformed by the emerging India, have been unable to unshackle themselves from the centuries-old caste consciousness despite their desperation to have a child.

And it could have deep political meanings in a national election that will perhaps have caste as a far stronger factor than ever before, and likely throw up a government glued largely on the basis of caste politics.

After all, in a nation of more than 1 billion people, every fourth Indian is from a scheduled caste or scheduled tribe, the name given to lower castes in the Hindu social ladder. And at least 40 per cent belong to Other Backward Castes.

In Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are India’s biggest theatre of caste politics,  every caste chieftain has realised the importance of reaching out to other castes also. For the first time, a Dalit politician — UP chief minister Mayawati — is being billed as a possible contender for the prime minister’s job and caste politics champions like Lalu Yadav, Mulayam
Singh Yadav and Ram Vilas Paswan are joining forces.

That’s because caste, which has long divided India, is also seen by many as the biggest uniting force. “Many couples feel if they know the caste, they know a lot about the person,” says R.N. Sharma, sociologist, Patna College.

Political churning is underway. In UP, Mayawati is trying to woo voters from other castes. And in Bihar, the  intermediary
Kurmi community is seen as having broken away from their longtime leader Lalu Yadav, and are allying with Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) and the BJP.

Dr Himanshu Roy, a gynaecologist, says most couples ask about the educational and background of the sperm provider. “But the most common questions are about culture, health… and caste,” says Roy.

Sharma calls it’s the purity factor.  “They want to ensure the bloodline stays pure,” he says.

Smriti Singh (34), a Rajput, says her family insisted on knowing the caste of the donor. “The argument was that the right caste would ensure healthy blood grouping,” she says.

“Name, address and contact details are kept anonymous, but people are insistent, almost fanatical, about caste,” says Dr Savanth Kumar, who owns sperm bank Frozen Cell. “We can’t give it on paper, but we find we have to tell them.”

Dalits asked to drink cow urine to be part of yagna

[10 feb 2009]

AJMER: In a shocking case of caste discrimination, nearly 450 Dalit families of Tiloli village in Bhilwara district were allegedly asked to undergo a purification ceremony by drinking cow urine if they wanted to participate in a seven-day long "sthapana yagna" at the local Hanuman mandir. 

Tension arose in the village last week when Sadhu Rameshwar Lal wanted to to perform a yagna' in Hanuman temple. "We were happy to know that a religious ceremony would take place in the village and all were ready to participate in it," said Chogalal, a Dalit veteran of the village.
 The village has a population of 5,000 with 450 Dalit households.
 A committee was formed to perform the ritual and fund collection started. "But they (upper caste men) refused to make us part of the ceremony and Sadhu Rameshwar Lal announced that no Dalit would participate in the ritual," said Kanaya Lal Khateek.
 Bhanwar Singh, deputy SP Gulabpura said: "We received the information that there was certain dissatisfaction in the village regarding a religious ceremony. We came to know that villagers were not taking the contribution of Dalits and were not allowing them to be a part of the yagna. We called a meeting of every community on Saturday night and ensured that anyone willing to contribute did so and provide them a receipt for their contribution."

In the all-community meeting called on February 7, it was decided that no member of any community would perform rituals except the Brahmins.

When the Dalits showed their eagerness to be part of the ritual, Sadhu said if they wanted to participate in the ceremony, they will have to drink cow urine with dung.
 "We too wanted to participate in the ritual, after all it is a ceremony of the village," said Hari ram Megwanshi.

Three castes -- Raiger, Khateek and Badai -- were banned to sit for the rituals and Sadhu's supporters allegedly published pamphlets stating that Dalits were not allowed to sit in the rituals. A group of Dalits then approached the district collector, asking him to intervene. "We met the district collector and told him that we want to give a memorandum to the chief minister," says Hari Ram.

This was followed by an all-community meeting convened by deputy superintendent of police Bhanwar Lal who was asked by the district collector to tackle the situation.

Despite reaching a unanimous decision that the Dalits can witness the ceremony, they were seen sitting almost 400 meters away from the ceremony.

Even as the situation remained tense, Ladhu Ram Jain of the organizing committee said: "There were some people who wanted to disturb the atmosphere. The Sadhu is performing rituals on his private property and has the right to invite anyone he wants."
 TOI tried to contact district collector Bhagwan Singh Deta many times but he was busy making arrangements for the visit of chief minister Ashok Gehlot on February 10.

DALITS DEFY BAN TO ENTER TEMPLES IN TWO INSTANCES, WITHIN A WEEK

Though they had to take administration's help, which is shameful for the society reciting "modern INDIA".

After a decade,dalits defy hindu ban,enter temple
[25 Dec 2008]

MADURAI: After a decade-long struggle, Dalits at Panthapuli village in Tirunelveli district entered the Kannanallur Mariamman temple with help of district officials defying a ban imposed by casteHindus. alits, led by district collector G.Prakash and Superintendent of Police Asra Garg, entered the temple at Panthapuli near Sankarankovil on Wednesday. Though the caste Hindus resented the entry, they did not, however, make any effort to resist the move, apparently due to a stern warning issued by Prakash. The collector has initiated speedy steps to take over the temple by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Board. In order to prevent untoward incidents, cops had been deployed in adequate numbers in sensitive areas. The temple, which was closed for nearly 10 years due to a conflict between Dalits and upper castes, has been opened and poojas will be performed on a regular basis by all, officials said. A section of the caste Hindu families resisted the entry of Dalits in the past even though the local munsiff court permitted them to enter the temple. Due to tension, both Dalits and caste Hindus left their homes in the village and settled in nearby hills. The issue gained prominence after the CPI-M state unit recently threatened to take dalits inside the temple. On December17, 200 CPI-M volunteers courted arrested, trying to enter the temple.

Untouchables enter Rajasthan temple
[Date:22-Dec-2008]

Alwar, Dec. 21,08: Alwar, a small town in Rajasthan, today witnessed a social revolution of a different kind as scores of erstwhile scavengers were allowed to enter a temple here. In addition to that, they also dined with families of “upper social strata”, a pipe dream till recent times. “It is dream come true for me, I have entered a mandir (temple) for first time in my 45 years of life. It is a revolution in true sense,” said Ms Anguri Devi, a former scavenger. The moment is equally “unforgettable” and “historical” for Ms Rajni Nanda, Ms Bimla Chumar and Ms Usha Devi, who were in the trade of scavenging. “Till recent times we were not allowed to enter the premises of temples in the locality, but from today we can enter and perform Puja freely,” Ms Nanda said. The socially significant development has taken place on the initiative of Sulabh movement, founded by Ms Bindeshwar Pathak in 1970. “People who used to run away even from the shadow of a scavenger befalling on them have now dined with such people and it is no less than achieving the impossible,” said Ms Pathak.

CASTE SYSTEM AS GIVEN BY HINDU SCRIPTURES

All the hindu scriptures are nothing but the upholders and promoters of Varna-Vvavastha which is meant to maintain a perpetual dominance of bramhins over the dalit_Bahujans. These scriptures include vedas, ramayana, mahabharatha, gita and the most notorious of all- manusmriti.
Here are few examples of how these scriptures qualify to be a most dangerous creation of mankind ( worst than the nuclear bombs) which degenerated the status of fellow human beings(Dalit-Bahujans) to lower than that of animals for 3000 years.
Rigveda---According to Purusha-Sukta of Rig Veda , Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas and Shudras originated respectively from the mouth, hands, thighs and feet of the purusha or the creator.
Ramayana ---Ram killed Shambuka simply because he was performing tapasya (ascetic exercises) which he was not supposed to do as he was a Shudra by birth.
Mahabharata--- Dronacharya refuses to teach archery to Eklavya, because he was not a Kshatriya by birth. When Eklavya, treating Drona as his notional guru, learns archery on his own, Drona makes him cut his right thumb as gurudakshina (gift for the teacher) so that he may not become a better archer than his favorite Kshatriya student Arjuna!
BhagvadGita-When Arjuna refuses to fight, one of his main worries was that the war would lead to the birth of varna-sankaras or offspring from intermixing of different varnas and the consequent "downfall" of the family. On the other hand, Krishna tries to motivate Arjuna to fight by saying that it was his varna-dharma (caste-duty) to do so because he was a Kshatriya. In fact, Krishna goes to the extent of claiming that the four varnas were created by him only. Thus, Arjuna's main problem was being born a Kshatriya. Had he been a Brahmin or a Vaishya or a Shudra by birth, he would have been spared the trouble of fighting a destructive war.
