The provision of Rs. 22.50 lakh in
budget of Gujarat to train ‘safai kamdar’ in karmakand is neither ‘revolutionary’
nor ‘reformist’. It is simply an eye wash. Since five years Gujarat government
has already been wasting public money to train Guru Brahmin (a scheduled caste
performing religious rites among SCs) in karmakand. Today majority of Guru Brahmins
are leaving this profession, as it is not giving minimum amount to support family
in these days of hardship.
Modi government should fill reservation quota, if it
wants to give employment to Dalits. And if there is any idea of ‘samrasta’
behind this project, Modi should appoint dalits ‘pujaris’ in temples like
Ambaji, Dhwarka, etc. The karmakand scheme for Guru Brahmins has failed. Another
scheme for ‘safai kamdar’ will not serve the purpose.
If Modi wants to reform Hindu
religion, he can send government resolution to all Government offices including
Gujarat High Court, to perform so-called Bhumi Pujans in public places with the
help of ‘untouchable’ priests!
Raju, you are a sharp analyzer but have missed the real motive of Modi this time : his agenda is to Hinduise all the Scheduled castes of Gujarat by offering them such silly sops one by one, and he has begun by Garos and Valmikis -- the minority castes among dalits and convert them into permanent Hindu vote-banks. the two shrewd majority castes -Vankars and Rohits - have already sniffed their interests by themselves and are joining BJP in bulks right from village to city level, as they once did with Congress.
ReplyDeleteNeerav is right and putting some stress on logical side. Brahamins are shrewdly making money from temples. Dalits and OBCs are the backbone of temples economy. if we stop the visits to most dirtiest places (temples). All Brahamins will be in beggar state. we are only responsible for it. Because we are very selfish and greedy for blessings of artificial gods and goddess.
ReplyDeletebefore Modi Gandhiji and his follower Jagjivanram had already 'hinduised' dalits. and BJP being legitimate child of congress doing same thing.
