Former IPS Amitabh Thakur reached Rampur: met the family members of the deceased Dalit student and Azam, demanded CBI investigation in the student case.
Former IPS Amitabh Thakur arrived in Rampur today. Amitabh Thakur and his wife Nutan Thakur reached the village of the deceased Dalit student. Also met the family members of Azam Khan. Amitabh Thakur demanded CBI inquiry into the deceased student case. Regarding Azam Khan, he said that the government is destroying him under the plan.
Amitabh Thakur reached Silaibara village of Milak police station. During this, he talked to the family members of the deceased student. On this occasion he consoled the family members. Amitabh Thakur along with his wife also met the family members of Azam Khan. Amitabh Thakur told Dainik Bhaskar that the SDM acted imprudently in the case of the student’s death. In this case, the SDM had given orders to open fire.
He said that some police officers, on the condition of anonymity, told about the incident that the SDM ordered to open fire. Also, since the administration and the police themselves are parties, the victim cannot get justice, hence he has demanded a CBI investigation in this matter. He met the family members of Azam Khan. Regarding Azam Khan, he said that Azam Khan is innocent of whatever crime he has been convicted of and sent to jail.
Will field candidates in Lok Sabha elections
He is saying this on the basis of conversations with family members. The family members have evidence related to this. It may be natural to file some cases against Azam Khan, but it is completely wrong to file hundreds of cases. Adhikar Sena always opposes wrongdoings. Adhikar Sena is not on a large scale yet, but honest candidates will be fielded in the coming elections. However, it will be launched only in some specific areas. There will be a strong fight against evil.

Unveiling the Silence: Why Bahujan Women Matter on International Women’s Week?
The Global Ambedkar Scholars Association (GASA) has initiated the Bahujan Women Week, a platform dedicated to honouring and celebrating the pivotal role of Bahujan women in shaping Indian society.
Pratikshit Singh
Lucknow- Globally, women’s empowerment movements often spotlight the struggles and achievements of women from diverse backgrounds, yet in India, the narrative has often been overshadowed by the experiences of Savarna women, neglecting the significant contributions and challenges faced by Bahujan women.
Bahujan women often find themselves sidelined in discussions surrounding International Women’s Day due to the predominant focus on mainstream narratives of women’s empowerment, which typically center on the experiences and achievements of women from more privileged backgrounds. The voices and struggles of Bahujan women, who come from marginalized communities, are often overlooked or overshadowed by these dominant narratives.
Moreover, systemic inequalities and discrimination based on caste, class, and gender intersect to create unique challenges for Bahujan women. These challenges may include limited access to education, healthcare, employment opportunities, and political representation, as well as higher rates of violence and exploitation.
To address this imbalance, the Global Ambedkar Scholars Association (GASA) has initiated the Bahujan Women Week, a platform dedicated to honouring and celebrating the pivotal role of Bahujan women in shaping Indian society.
Through this week-long event, GASA aims to shed light on the often overlooked stories of Bahujan women, from political trailblazers like Mayawati to lesser-known figures like Mukta Salve, the first female Dalit writer, highlighting their resilience, struggles, and contributions.
International Women’s week & the Bahujan women
The week preceding International Women’s Week on 8th of March is celebrated around the world as women’s week, which is dedicated to awareness on gender issues and equality.
On the occasion, people reflect on the successes and hardships faced by the second gender all over the world. It is also a time to call for action to promote gender equality. However, in India, the issue of Women empowerment is largely driven by the Savarna narrative. It is quite evident that women belonging to the upper class have dominated the typical narrative of women empowerment, and the struggles and successes of women from marginalized sections are ignored.
Speaking to The Mooknayak, Priyanka Sonkar, Assistant Professor, Hindi Department, Banaras Hindu University, who is also the author of a book Dalit Stree Vimarsh: Srijan evam Sangharsh said, “The contribution of Bahujan women is disregarded.
An example of this can be that the name of Laxmi Bai, a rebel warrior of the 1857 revolt, who belonged to the upper caste, is popular everywhere and she is recognized for her valor, but no one knows the name of Jhalkari Bai, another warrior who belonged to the Kori community of Scheduled caste.
The Savarna women don’t recognize the contribution of Savitri Bai Phule in her contribution to Indian Renaissance. Sonkar pointed out that some of the issues are primarily unique to Dalit women like the issue of manual scavenging or the issue of witch-hunting.
To address this discrepancy, the Global Ambedkar Scholars Association is celebrating Bahujan Women’s Week.
Speaking to The Mooknayak Sushant Inderjeet Singh, the founder of Global Ambedkar Scholars Association, who is Co-President, Student’s Union at the School of Asian and African Studies, London said, “The idea is to celebrate the contributions and struggles of Bahujan Women in Indian Society, so on one hand, we have Mayawati and on the other, we also have Payal Tadvi. We have also featured some lesser-known women.”
While Mayawati is a renowned politician, who has been the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh four times, Payal Tadvi committed suicide in 2019 because of the harassment meted out to her in the Medical College she was enrolled in. The week began on March 1st, and on the 2nd day, i.e., March 2, The Week celebrated Mukta Salve, a lesser-known Bahujan Women.
Who Was Mukta Salve?
The Bahujan Women’s Week recognizes Mukta as the “First Female Dalit Writer”. The post recognizing her credits her for writing an essay titled “Maang Maharachya Dukhavisatha,” a seminal work in Dalit literature, highlighting the plight of the Mahar and Mang communities.
The essay was published on 1 March 1855 in a periodical named “Dnyanodaya”. It is believed to be the first written evidence in history, which takes us through the problem of Indian caste and patriarchy. She has, over a period of time, acquired the status of the first voice of Dalit feminism in history. Salve received her education from the school established by Jyoti ba Phule and Savitri Bai Phule in Pune in 1852.
There are many such forgotten Bahujan women who have slipped into oblivion over a period of time and whose recognition is of paramount importance. Hopefully, such efforts aimed at pulling marginalized women to the mainstream of feminism will succeed in their objective.

Dalit Teen Gang-Raped in Rajasthan Temple: Social Media Friendship Turns Nightmare

Dil Bar Irshad
In a harrowing incident from Pilibhit, a 17-year-old Dalit girl fell victim to a brutal gang rape committed by a man she met on Instagram and his two accomplices. The crime, which took place on December 31 in a temple at Sikar, Rajasthan, has sparked widespread outrage after the filing of an FIR last Friday. The main accused had deceived the girl with a false promise of marriage, leading to this atrocious act.
Deceit and Despair: A False Promise
The ordeal began when the girl, befriending the main accused on Instagram, was lured to a temple under the guise of getting married. On December 31, believing in his promises, she traveled to a bus stand in Bareilly with jewellery and cash, only to be met by the accused and his two friends. The trio then took her to Rajasthan, where they subjected her to repeated sexual assaults at a rented accommodation, even filming the act to blackmail her. This sinister plot unraveled when the victim mustered the courage to file an FIR, bringing the incident to light.
Investigation and Action: The Law Responds
Following the victim’s complaint, the police swung into action, with SHO Ajay Kumar asserting that the accused would be apprehended soon. The case highlights the disturbing trend of crimes facilitated through social media platforms and the vulnerability of young individuals online.

Societal Reflection: Beyond the Incident
This incident not only raises questions about the safety of women and marginalized communities in India but also calls for a critical examination of the role of social media in facilitating such crimes. It underscores the urgent need for stricter online safety measures and awareness among young users about the potential dangers of online interactions. Furthermore, it highlights the necessity for societal change, addressing the deep-rooted issues of caste and gender discrimination that continue to plague the country.
As the investigation proceeds, this case serves as a grim reminder of the challenges that lie in ensuring safety and justice for all, especially the most vulnerable sections of society. It prompts a deeper contemplation on how society can evolve to prevent such atrocities and support the victims in their quest for justice and healing.

ANDHRA PRADESH(YSRC)
Mahasena Rajesh: Twists and Turns in the Political Journey of Dalit Leader
Saripella Rajesh, better known as Mahasena Rajesh, emerged as a prominent Dalit activist in this era of Social media. However, his recent decision to withdraw from the electoral contest in the P Gannavaram constituency has become the talk of the town in Andhra Pradesh and raised questions about the intersection of caste, politics, and personal integrity.
Rajesh’s Affiliation with YSRCP before 2019:
Initially aligned with the YSR Congress Party (YSRCP), Rajesh garnered attention for his vocal stance against uppercaste oppression. His pro-Dalit organization, Mahasena, supported the YSRCP during the 2019 elections, amplifying its campaign through social media platforms. YSRCP did not care about the comments he made regarding caste oppression and his anti-upper caste remarks while joining him and taking his support for campaigning in the 2019 elections.
The shift in Loyalties: From Jagan to Pawan
Post-2019, Rajesh’s relationship with the YSRCP soured, leading to his departure from the party. He became a vocal critic of Chief Minister Jagan Mohan Reddy’s administration, drawing the ire of the ruling party, which filed legal cases against him. Despite facing adversity, Rajesh found solace in supporting Pawan Kalyan’s Janasena Party, earning popularity for his social media posts critiquing the government’s policies.
Failed attempt to join Janasena:
Speculations arose regarding Rajesh’s potential alliance with Janasena, fueled by his public altercation with alleged YSRCP supporters. However, despite initial interest from Pawan Kalyan, Rajesh’s association with controversy, including his ownership of a luxurious Audi car, hindered his inclusion in the party.
Opportunity in TDP:
Seeking refuge, Rajesh turned to the Telugu Desam Party (TDP), where he found support from Chandrababu Naidu,
who recognized his fighting spirit. Promised an MLA ticket, Rajesh received the nomination from P Gannavaram,
igniting a series of political attacks from opponents who resurfaced his past comments and made his old videos viral on social media to damage the prospects of Rajesh and TDP.
Voluntary Withdrawal:
Amid mounting pressure and allegations, Rajesh voluntarily withdrew from the electoral race, citing the exploitation of his identity for political gains. His decision sparked debates about caste-based politics and the integrity of political alliances. While TDP cadres accuse the YSRCP of orchestrating Rajesh’s downfall, the future of his candidacy remains uncertain, pending a decision from Chandrababu Naidu. TDP followers support Rajesh and argue that YSRCP leaders intentionally mud-slinging at him as his candidature ensures the defeat of the YSRCP candidate in the constituency.
As the electoral drama unfolds, Rajesh’s withdrawal underscores the challenges Dalit activists face navigating the volatile landscape of Indian politics.

Shiromani Akali Dal Welcomes Dalit Leader Shamsher Singh, Strengthens Position for Lok Sabha Elections
Shiromani Akali Dal bolsters its ranks by inducting Shamsher Singh, targeting enhanced electoral appeal and addressing public discontent with AAP.
Dil Bar Irshad
In a strategic political move, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) embraced Dalit Chetna Manch’s state president Shamsher Singh Purkhalvi, enhancing its cadre ahead of the crucial Lok Sabha elections. The induction ceremony, graced by SAD’s Sukhbir Singh Badal and other senior leaders, symbolizes a significant bolstering of the party’s ranks with Shamsher Singh’s mass following and political acumen.
Shamsher Singh, with his rich political background as a municipal councillor and a long-standing leader of the ITI Employees Union, is poised to inject new vigor into SAD’s campaign. His move to SAD is seen as a testament to the growing disillusionment with the current AAP government’s policies among Punjab’s diverse electorate, including farmers, youth, and women.
Strategic Expansion Ahead of Elections
In the wake of Shamsher Singh Purkhalvi joining the Shiromani Akali Dal, the party aims to consolidate its influence, particularly within the Dalit community. The presence of notable SAD leaders at the welcoming ceremony underscores the party’s commitment to inclusivity and strengthening its grassroots connections. This strategic inclusion is a clear indication of SAD’s intent to broaden its demographic appeal and fortify its electoral prospects.
Discontent with AAP’s Governance
During interactions with the media, SAD’s Prof Prem Singh Chandumajra voiced strong criticism of the Bhagwant Mann-led AAP government. Accusations of failing the state’s farmers, youth, women, and Dalit communities have put the AAP government in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. The alleged deletion and subsequent restoration of over 10.50 lakh blue cards have sparked outrage, questioning the accountability within Mann’s administration.
Political Ramifications and Public Sentiment
The growing disenchantment with the incumbent government’s policies and the alleged neglect of key societal segments are shaping the political landscape in Punjab. Shamsher Singh’s alignment with SAD not only signifies a personal political shift but also reflects broader public sentiment. As the Lok Sabha elections approach, the repercussions of such political realignments on voter behavior and party loyalties will be closely watched.
The Shiromani Akali Dal’s strategic bolstering through Shamsher Singh’s induction marks a pivotal moment in Punjab’s political narrative. With the Lok Sabha elections on the horizon, this move could potentially sway voter allegiances and recalibrate the electoral battle lines. As parties vie for dominance, the electorate’s response to these developments will undoubtedly influence the future political equilibrium in Punjab.
