Kishanpur. On one hand, the government talks about the welfare of Dalit Mahadalit families, on the other hand, their exploitation by local officials is at its peak. 40 landless Mahadalit families were living on the railway side for years in Baijnathpur village located in ward number one of Andauli Panchayat. As soon as the work of the railway department started, the houses of these families were demolished, due to which they have become homeless.
These families demanded Basgit Parcha (Residential Certificate) from the local Zonal Officer and DM several times, but their demands have remained unheard till now. On Wednesday, about five dozen men and women demonstrated outside the Zonal Officer’s office. The protesters urged the officials to immediately provide land and provide plastic sheets to all the families. Rinku Devi, Rajkumar Sada, Ranjan Devi, Suresh Sada, Jyoti Devi, Hitlal Sada, Durga Devi, Shankar Sada, Khushboo Devi and others involved in the protest said that their ancestors had been living in houses built on railway land for 60-70 years.
They said that there are several acres of government land next to the place where they are living, which has been occupied by the village bullies. The protesters warned that if they are not provided land immediately, they will stage a sit-in protest at the Zonal Office. Zonal Officer Sushila Kumari said that very soon we will inspect the site and work to provide land.

Chandrashekhar Azad’s victory from Nagina and the future of Dalit politics
Lucknow. Nagina Lok Sabha seat of Uttar Pradesh is in the news because Azad Samaj Party (Kanshi Ram) president Chandrashekhar Azad has won from this seat for the first time. Chandrashekhar was pitted against BJP, BSP and India Alliance candidates. Chandrashekhar won by 1,51,473 votes. He got a total of 5,12,552 votes and BJP candidate got 3,61,079, Samajwadi Party got 1,02,374 and BSP candidate got 13,272 votes.
SR Darapuri
The reason for Chandrashekhar’s victory with a very good margin of votes is mainly the population mathematics of Nagina parliamentary constituency. Nagina is a reserved seat for SC caste. The number of voters here is approximately 16 lakh. About 46% of them are Muslims and 21% Dalits and about 30% are Chauhan, Saini and other voters. There are five assembly constituencies in this Lok Sabha constituency, which include Nathaur, Najibabad, Nagina, Dhampur and Noorpur.
Earlier Nagina was a part of Bijnor Lok Sabha constituency, which later became Nagina Lok Sabha constituency in the delimitation of 2007. Due to the high percentage of Muslims and Dalits, this Lok Sabha seat has been the center of Dalit politics. Mayawati was elected MP from here as a BSP candidate in 1989 and Congress’s Meera Kumar won the election in 1985. In 2019, BSP candidate Girish Chandra from the SP-BSP alliance won from this seat.
The main reason for Chandrashekhar’s victory on the Nagina seat has been the full support of Muslim voters and a large part of Dalit voters. Mayawati has considered this area as her stronghold, but this time Dalits and Muslims have voted for Chandrashekhar instead of Mayawati with the aim of defeating the BJP. That is why the BSP candidate stood fourth by getting very few votes.
Some people are considering Chandrashekhar’s victory as the beginning of new Dalit politics. It is worth considering that Chandrashekhar has neither a Dalit agenda nor a progressive ideology. The failure of Kanshiram’s Bahujan politics that he talks about taking forward is evident to everyone. Kanshiram’s biggest successor Mayawati works on this Bahujan politics. This Bahujan politics not only formed an alliance with the BJP but also became the carrier of taking the idea of ??Hindutva to the Dalits.
Therefore, it will not be possible to defeat the BJP’s Hindutva politics only with a Dalit-Muslim alliance. For this, a large democratic alliance and an alternative pro-people economic policy is needed against the pro-corporate and pro-global financial capitalist economic politics. Therefore, we are of the firm opinion that Dalits should come out of the politics of identity and become a part of a large democratic class alliance. The issues of Dalits, backward classes, minorities, tribals, laborers, farmers and youth should be at the center of this. It is worth considering that caste politics only strengthens the politics of Hindutva, defeating which is our main goal.

‘Dalits in Telangana village threatened with knives for celebrating Ambedkar Jayanti’: AIISCA demands action
Villagers say that authorities haven’t taken proper action against the accused and that even local media has shown apathy.
(Edited by Neena)
In a statement issued on Wednesday, 19 June, the All India Independent Scheduled Castes Association (AIISCA) condemned “upper caste” people from Telangana’s Pardi village for threatening people from the Scheduled Castes (SCs) for daring to celebrating Ambedkar Jayanti. Though the three accused were arrested, they are out on bail and the villagers continue to be boycotted.
The association said in their statement that people from the privileged ‘Savarna’ caste in Pardi village in Telangana’s Nirmal district allegedly opposed an initiative by the SC community to commemorate Ambedkar Jayanti. Further, when they went ahead with the celebration, Dalit people were boycotted by the entire village.
“Plans were underway to commemorate the occasion by erecting a compound around Babasaheb’s statue, a gesture deeply rooted in respect and reverence. However, members of the upper caste population opposed this initiative. The women took the initiative to celebrate the birth anniversary and started building the compound themselves, but the upper castes obstructed the construction,” said AIISCA in the statement.
Boycotted and threatened
Despite being threatened that they will be killed, the villagers went ahead to celebrate the Jayanti on 14 April and build a compound and have been facing its consequences since then. “Savarna Hindu insulted the women of the SC community, threatened to kill them and challenged the community’s right to celebrate, creating tension. This conflict underscores the continuing social divisions and the ongoing struggle for equality and inclusiveness,” the association said in the statement.
As the oppressed people went to police and filed a complaint of atrocity under the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, three people – Ramlu Dhotula, Sainath Sugkari , Sainath Engmud – are now out on bail.
Talking about the tension in the village and being threatened, one of the villagers told South First, “For the last twenty years, there has been no fights. We built the Ambedkar statue with our money and we wished to celebrate but the men has abused us in unparliamentary language.”
She further said that they don’t give any respect to women and asked “how are we supposed to live amid this? ” The villagers say that authorities have taken no action and that even local media has shown nothing but apathy.
What are the authorities doing?
Speaking to South First, Rohini Bhadarge, Vice President of AIISCA said that some influential person in the village boycotted the villagers from the SC community and said would levy a fine if anyone employs them. “The incident became serious after a powerful individual in the village boycotted the entire village. Villagers had filed a atrocitiy case against the individual after which they were boycotted. The villagers have no access to ration or employment in the village. A ?5000 fine is levied on employers who employee any of the boycotted villagers.”
She also stressed that authorities have taken no action and that the association is planning to meet with the boycotted villagers soon.
Expanding on the violence faced by Dalit people in the village, the association’s statement said, “They are likely to be attacked by upper caste people because there are very few houses of the SC community in that village and such injustices are frequent…reports of discrimination, including the practice of untouchability, and harassment of women based on their clothing have emerged.”
Stressing on the need for urgent attention and intervention from local authorities to ensure the well-being and safety of all community members, the statement further said, :”Now the upper caste casteists have again created an atmosphere of tension and fear in the village. Casteists are walking around with knives in Dalit settlements and can kill any Dalit person. If the Telangana government as well as the police do not pay attention to this serious incident, the consequences may be dire.”
Lastly, it asked for authorities to ensure that the boycott of the community is immediately abandoned and the right to celebrate Ambedkar Jayanti is safeguarded.
