Is this not corruption most vile?

BHOPAL: A dalit was killed and two others were seriously injured as upper caste Thakurs attacked them in a village in Bhind district in northern Madhya Pradesh. No arrests have been made so far and the incident has created panic among dalits in the village. ...


"... JD-U president Sharad Yadav received applause from the treasury as well as the Opposition benches when he said corruption in society was linked to the caste system and couldn't be eliminated through a law alone. "No law can prevent corruption that is inherent in Indian society because of the caste system. Unless there is social justice, corruption will continue to plague the system. When the drains are flowing with sewage, how will sprinkling a bit of DDT help? You need to clean the drain," Yadav said in the Lok Sabha."


Dalits call Anna stir 'upper caste'

The anti-politician feeling generated by Anna Hazare's agitation, combined with Arvind Kejriwal's association with the Youth for Equality, the organisation that spearheaded the anti-reservation agitation in the AIIMS, has triggered a sense of unease among parliamentarians belonging to Dalit and backward communities.

Dalit and OBC MPs on Wednesday lamented the "attack on the supremacy of Parliament and the Constitution". From BJP's Hukumdeo Narain Yadav to JD-U president Sharad Yadav and Lok Janshakti Party president Ram Vilas Paswan, there was a sharp attack on what the MPs said was an attempt to "undermine the Constitution".

This happened on a day when Dalit leader Udit Raj of the All India Confederation of SC/ST Organisations led a march of around 500 activists from Jantar Mantar to India Gate against Hazare's agitation. The rally brought peak hour evening traffic to a crawl in central Delhi.

"Anna must clarify his stand on several issues before he speaks about the Jan Lokpal Bill," Raj said. The protesters said Hazare's protest was as "upper caste movement that has little to do with the oppressed classes of society". Udit Raj's supporters criticised Team Anna's Bill for leaving out of Lokpal's ambit NGOs, media and the corporate sector.

Like them, the Dalit MPs too felt that the Jan Lokpal Bill assumes supremacy of an unelected panel over legislature, executive and the judiciary. This has instilled a fear among MPs belonging to weaker sections who perceive Hazare's stir as an upper- caste movement.

Narain Yadav, a Lok Sabha MP from Bihar, expressed his unhappiness at the " exclusion" of weaker sections from the debate at the BJP parliamentary party meeting.

JD-U president Sharad Yadav received applause from the treasury as well as the Opposition benches when he said corruption in society was linked to the caste system and couldn't be eliminated through a law alone.

"No law can prevent corruption that is inherent in Indian society because of the caste system. Unless there is social justice, corruption will continue to plague the system. When the drains are flowing with sewage, how will sprinkling a bit of DDT help? You need to clean the drain," Yadav said in the Lok Sabha.

Dalits roughed up once again

BHOPAL: A dalit was killed and two others were seriously injured as upper caste Thakurs attacked them in a village in Bhind district in northern Madhya Pradesh. No arrests have been made so far and the incident has created panic among dalits in the village.

The incident took place in Kirat village in the wee hours of Wednesday when a group of upper caste Thakurs comprising Pinku Tomar and Rama Shanker Bhadoria among others barged into the house of dalits. The police said that Bhogiram Vidharam and Manu Jatav were beaten black and blue by the accused for the reasons 'still under investigations.'

The victims were rushed to hospital in Bhind where Bhogiram succumbed to injuries, SP Bhind Anurag told TOI. After the incident, panic has gripped the village and none of the villagers have summoned courage to give any information to the police.

They are too scared to provide any clue to the incident, the police said adding as they fear backlash from the Thakurs. Caste discrimination is not only prevalent but also rampant in this part of the state which has been dominated by the Thakurs for a long time in the past, police said. Bhind is located on the banks of river Chambal and is ravage by the ravines. There was a time when it was infested by dacoits also.

Police said that the dalit family beaten by the Thakurs was in fact cultivating the land of the latter who are big landlords of the region. Some issue related to the payment of wages might be the reason behind the attack. As the investigations are still on, the SP told TOI, "We are not sure of the reason behind the violence." He hoped the accused will be arrested. Cases under sections 302 and 307 of the IPC among others and also the Sc St ( prevention of atrocities) Act have been registered against them.
