Caste Census “must” for Socio-economic Planning for SC,ST,DT/NT,OBC,RMs in 12th Five year Plan…

In the month of May 2011 the UPA Govt. lead by Congress has committed in the Parliament for conducting a separate Caste Census of all the communities of India. The Census was suppose to be started from June. But it seems that the UPA Govt. is not keeping its commitment laid in even the highest institution of the nation – our Parliament. It is learnt by various RTI, made by AIMBSCS Organisers that the Caste census is not conducted by the ‘ Registrar General & Census Commissioner of India ‘ under Census Act, 1948. Also the various ‘socio-economic indicators’ pertaining to education, health, housing, employment, income, ownership, entrepreneurship and social security; though likely to be collected now due to the efforts made by sangh [ AIMBSCS ] by a writ petition in Supreme Court of India ( WP No. 56/2011 ) and RTI’s to various Ministers of GOI will be of no authentic use if ‘ head count method’ is not adopted for 120 cr+ population.

The Rural Development & Urban Development Ministers of GOI are largely implementing this ‘caste census’as of now. It is not yet clear; whether it is a ‘head count method’ or just a ‘sample survey’.

The brahmanical forces just want to bypass the caste census, so the ‘caste discrimination’ and socio-economic inequalities, based on caste & religion do not come to picture before the world.

The media managed protests against ‘corruption’ are one of the weapons that have been used for forcing a Jan(virodhi)Lokpal as a ‘super agency’ to subvert Constitution & Parliamentary Democracy. Those who claim to fight against ‘ corruption’ have unabashedly remain silent on ‘caste’ in the name of ‘We the People’; conveniently forgetting that the “solemn resolve by We the People is to constitute India into a Sovereign, Socialist, Secular, Democratic, Republic; and to “secure to all its citizens” Justice ( social, economic and political ), Liberty, Equality ( of status and opportunity ), Fraternity ( dignity of individual and unity and integrity of the Nation ).

Caste is the ‘crux of all problems of India’ including corruption. The lack of feeling of ‘fraternity’ and denial of equality & justice for caste supremacy is antithetical for the formation of ‘society’. Thus People in power and with opportunity do not feel one with fellow brethrens, and exploit them leading to rampant corruption. ‘Structural inequalities’ of caste system along with multi-dimensional factors of Governance also perpetuate this ill which must be eradicated by multiple measures.

It has become absolutely necessary for achieving the objectives proclaimed by our Constitution to ‘annihilate the caste’ as Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar envisioned. For ending the ‘structural inequalities’ of caste system between backwards ( Dalits, Tribals, OBCs,Muslims & Other RMs) & forwords ( so-called b3s) we require ‘special policies & planning for structural change ‘ in siksha, sashan, & samaptti which Dr.Ambedkar stated. This will require ‘qualified data’ by caste census, nothing less would suffice.

All the Bahujans of India must pay attention towards this vital aspect before it is too late. Let the MPs of SC,ST,OBC & RMs realize this fact and not be swayed away by divertive tactics of JanLokpal or other issue to be raised in months to come.

We can always present our views to ‘Standing Committee ‘ on Lokpal, as to how it can be within the ambit of the Constitution and be a just & representative body with “reservation” for SC, ST & OBC.

Sangh [ AIMBSCS ] is taking care of this and other laws on Judicial accountability etc by its institution PCDHR. Let us focus on the issue of ‘caste census’ before the finalisation of draft 12th Five year plan to be implemented from April 2012.

Also significant is to succeed in Ambedkarism by making it as the ‘guiding force’ and ‘driving force’ of Bahujan Movement .

AIMBSCS is working to make it successful in planned, time-bounded and guaranteed way under the ‘National Plan To Succeed In Ambedkarism’. Be a responsible Person in this Great & Noble task for the creation of a PraBuddha Bharat which is just, moral, humane & enlightened!

Jai Bhim! Jai Phooley!! Jai PraBuddha Bharat!!!
