HEADING TOWARDS NOWHERE........

We are going to celebrate 67th republic day on 26th January this year. That means we have been republic since more than 6 and half decades. The day is celebrated because we accepted our constitution and felt proud to get unique one. We hoped for better future of our nation and also aimed to form welfare state. The constitution was made flexible so that amendments could be made to that as society progress. More than hundred amendments we have seen,but still we have not achieved any kind of reform in some cases.
The constitution gave reservation to dalits for empowering them socially, politically and economically. Today they are politically equal but still lacking behind in other factors. The suicide of Rohit vemula in Hyderabad university has created big issue for media as well as by politicians. I will discuss this topic in this manner:-
1) treatment to dalits in India in recent years.
2) stand of central government.
3) stand of other political parties.
4) conclusion.
1) This kind of suicide in India is not new. Since 2008 around 7 suicide cases of dalit students has been registered in Hyderabad university. The committee established to survey condition of dalits in national medical institutions came up with the report which shown pathetic situation. The report clearly mentioned that the treatment which they receive is worst I e. unconstitutional. From B.R. Ambedkar to contemporary India, has anything changed? Still we have different colonies for dalits in our society, clearly shows failure of constitution in this dimension. The unequal status to this people won't able to form stable society and also will not give justice to constitution. Still keeping different utensils for them at public places,forming different colonies for them, categorising them with their occupation ,etc. Shows backwardness of our society and that should be tackeled first. Still majority of the dalits are socially and economically far behind and this issue is sensitive. Only reservation won't help, each and every citizen of India should try bring society at equal level.
2) The stand of central government was irresponsible. The kind of statements which we got from central government shown its imprudent nature. They called this boy as first non-dalit and then started to debate on his cast. Does this shows the step of sensible government? It was quite sad to see that gov. Was trying to prove rohit as non dalit . The first thing is HRD ministry neglected suspension of students and then not thought important to form committee to inspect this matter. Some of the statement by bjp members from Hyderabad as ambedkar students association of whom Rohit was a member as an anti-national and extimist poured ghee in fire. The gov. Should have taken responsibility to inspect situation and avoided rekless statements.
3) There is no need to speak more because we all know how our politics is. First 'intolerance' and now this one. They just want some chance to criticise gov. They have shown that how much someone can fall to its lowest level by giving this sensitive issue a political turn. Talking specially about congress party as I have mention since 2008, 7 suicides has been committed. That time congress was in power, why they didn't took any actions that time to clear this issue. Even in their era too the condition of dalit community was same and nothing has changed. There may be such chances that they are emphasising on this issue in advance to upcoming elections in few states to create national atmosphere.
4). At last before concluding I want to make people realise our constitution which is the base of our society in recent years. This is the best thing to follow ever.
So I would like to conclude that the situation of dalits has really not improved in India. And some sort of flexibility of constitution shall be used by ruling and opposing parties solve this problems, which India is facing since centuries. The groups which are empowered by some political parties shall be brought under control to avoid such incidents in future.
