Yesterday afternoon while going through the news, read the news Cabinet meets to seal fate of caste Census , I felt like something piercing through both my heart and mind. Why do we need to go through caste census? Do we want to continue as a developing nation where getting job is dependent on your caste rather than your skills, getting college admission based on your caste rather than your marks, voting based on caste (what if candidate is Criminal or Dacoit if he is from your own caste) rather than a neat clean imaged person or Social worker/professor from some other caste? I even heard about ragging in some colleges based on caste.
Purpose of Census is having a count of RESIDENTS of INDIA so that Government can make necessary arrangement for basic infrastructure (Roads/Dams/Hospitals/Schools/Railway Stations/Airports) and basic amenities (Drinking Water/Food/Education/House/Job/Social Security) for each Indian.
Does a person from Caste A need Drinking Water/Food/Education/House/Job/Social Security and at the same time person from caste B does not entitled for these amenities?????????????????????????
Why Drinking Water/Food/Education/House/Job/Social Security can not be make available to every INDIAN irrespective of their CASTE.
The open agenda of this Caste based census is to provide statistical data about caste in each and every region based on which our Netas can declare themself Crusader of that caste and lead naïve countrymen to Rasta Rocco Andolon and Bharat Band.
Netas will be using this data to provoke poor people and be talking/thinking about caste only and not for India because if every people will start thinking about India, Netas will not have lavish lifestyle and easy money. They need it to intice people against each other. They again want to invoke caste based rivalry that we had, until some years back in northern states like MP,UP and Bihar where lots of poor and innocent people lost their lives on the name of castism.
Have you ever noticed that Each and Every politician irrespective of their caste/region/party is Karorepati (It is based on property that they declared at the time election,forget about undeclared money,If you dont belive check their declaration of wealth at EC website ) . An annual performance annual report of Swiss Bank says Indian Accounts have total around 1500-1800 billion dollar. This fortune is more than the fortune submitted by rest all countries combined (including USA, China, Russia and EU families). but ohhh Global IT all the time they are talking about caste and region only,but caste prejudicing has been converted as Achilles’ heel of Economic/IT Giant India.
Caste Based census will serve only the thick skinned leaders who will continue filling their pockets by misleading poor people after calculating their Castethetic (Forget Mathematics in country of Aryabhat and Ramnujam,Here Mathematics means whether your count is equal to 2/3rd of total house or not (Offcourse to form Government so that PEOPLE OF INDIA[read it as friends and family], can be served)
In Court we have statue of GANDHARI having black strip on her eyes so that she can not see while doing justice so that Justice is fair to everyone. Then why we need caste census when as Developing nation we are striving to procure basic amenities (Drinking Water/Food/Education/House/Job/Social Security) to EACH and EVERY Indian.
Why we can not identify each Indian as Indian only or by Unique ID number that we will be getting in next 3-4 years? Why it is common with us that when we put one step forward (UID to each Indian, that will be his/her identity ) and then same time put another step backward by Census Caste (That will act as feeding data to our politician for being Caste Centric instead of being India Centric)
Why We can not make Skill and Ability the only criteria for Job/Admission/Nomination/Election/Promotion. We are living in a global village. We are a bulky country like Elephant but to sustain in this fast changing word we need to be agile like a Tiger. And my firm believe that the day we all run together (forgetting Caste/Region/Religion) along with skills and Ability only , nobody will be able to stop us from being a Developed Country
Apart from social perspective, even this whole system of caste is itself weak at foundation. Who decides the caste of one person and on what criteria? How to define the caste of a person who don’t have family? What is the caste of millions of children frolicking in child asylums? What is the caste of a person whose family has multiple roots?
And for Census’10 sake will anyone tell me what is the caste/religion of our respectable Rahul Gandhi, whose mother is Christian, father is Hindu and grand father is muslim?
