- Ritesh Mishra
Believe me! The government and the administration is least concern about the miseries, sorrows and atrocities of dalits. They are not living in well being and no one is giving an ear to their vain (affliction and suffering). I personally came across many cases of atrocities in last one year and found that actually the implementation of any law needs infrastructure, ‘proper infrastructure’, specifically for the SC/ST act.
This week, I came across more than 7 cases of dalit atrocities and in some cases even the FIR was not registered..
In last few days only, Shivpuri witnessed two severe cases of dalit atrocities and the district administration is almost apathetic.
On Monday, a goon has thrashed two dalit teachers of a government school with shoes in front of students on the denial of money for alcohol and chicken. Just imagine the humiliation! But the police have not registered under SC/ST act.
The incident occurred at the Government Middle School
This is the story:
Rakesh Jatav, resident of Bilauni village and Rakesh Koli resident of the Danda Shankarpur village are employed as teachers at the middle school at Kali Pahadi village. Atam Singh Baghel son of Chandan Singh resident of Kali Pahadi village was threatening them and seeking money for alcohol and chicken for the last few days. When these teachers refused his unjust demand he along with accomplice Prahlad Rawat of the same village entered the school premises and started creating chaos.
The duo dragged Rakesh Jatav and thrashed him with stick and shoes in front of the students. The miscreants also caught Rakesh Koli and beat him mercilessly, the sources added.
Both the teachers entered into a classroom and bolted it from inside to save their lives. Now both the teachers are scared so much that they said that they would not go to the school. Meanwhile, president of the teachers association, Sneh Singh, condemned the incident and demanded action against the miscreants.
When the victim teachers complained with the police at Sehore, the police registered the case but have not registered it under proper section for racial abuse. The victims are now saying that they will complain to the Superintendent of Police.
The second case:
The dalits of the Karmai village of Madkheda
Sources said that the tribal of the region were displaced by the forest department and now they are camping in the district headquarters for their life and redressal of their grievances.
They have also submitted a memorandum to the district collector and the executive engineer of water resources against the affluent.
Sources said that the Advasi Ekta Parishad have exhorted that they will go for an indefinite strike if the greivenaces of the Tribal are not redressed in next two days.
The dalits of the village have alleged that the affluent of Ghutaila Village
The affluent claimed that the land is now in their procession, they will start framing on it and whosoever will interrupt will have to suffer.
Sources said the tribal of the village have submitted memorandum to the collector in this regard and urged for against the affluent.
A similar case in Begumganj:
About 9 families of the region has submitted a memorandum in this regard to the DM and demanded actions against an affluent.
Many families of the dalits are living a nomadic life and left their villages since the administration is not providing any aid or security to them. Most of the lands of the dalits residing in the villages of the region are captured by the afflunets and they are helpless now.
Interestingly, the dailts have earlier also reached to the administration about 150 times and even lodged complained but in vain.
Sources said that in the rein of the Digvijay Singh, the then CM, Patta was allocated to Dayali Gaur, Mahetab Singh, Majboot Singh, Bhurelal Gaur and others, residents of Dungaria village, but they have not possession of the their land till now because the affluent have illegally captured the land and the administration has done nothing to take the Patta land from their possession.
Dalits of the village have alleged that an affluent Madho Singh Bundela has captured their Patta land and continuously threatening them but the administration has not taken any action under any law.
They further urged the administration that if the administration is not able to give their possession on the land they should allot the land to the Bundela only otherwise a complained should be lodged against him under the relevant laws of SC/ST.
Rajgarh:
A dalit woman was allegedly misbehaved by a tehsildar and was forcefully pushed out of the office where she sustained injured. The incident occurred at district headquarters when allegedly the tehsildar TC Jain misbehaved with the woman. Protesting against it dalit organizations including Dalit Chetna Manch, AJAKS and others have staged a dharna and submitted memorandum to the addition collector J P Mishra. The orgainstations demanded in the memorandum to register a case and arrest the tehsildar.
Sources said that Leelabai with her daughter Chandrakala visited the tehsildar’s office pertaining to alleged cancellation of the land allocated to her husband in the Jogipura village. Allegedly she was misbehaved and she was forcefully taken out of the office and was physically hurt. The dalit woman sustained injuries too. Leelabai complained to the IG Police Sailendra Shrivastava during his visit to the district on November 16. but the complaint was not registered. Then she went to the different organisations of the district working in dalit interest. The memorandum submitted demanded action against the tehsildar.
Hoshangabad:
About two dozens dalits ( Ahirwars) of the two families living in Purainarandhir village under Bankhedi tehsil in Hoshangabad district are suffering from discrimination and threat from the upper castes for saying no to an age-old malpractice. The affluent of the village are compelling to them to leave their village and forcing them to sell their land. The Ahirwars of the region have knocked each door of the district administration and even Madhya Pradesh Human rights commission but in vain.
Dalits of village had been picking up dead animals since ages. However, of late, the dalits have started farming on the piece of the land which is surrounded by the lands of upper caste people of the village.
Kapura Chaudhary -- a dalit of the village and living in terror —rued that he has been threaten by the Prem Kushwaha and Sirmua Kushwaha.
He further said that the family of both Prem and Sirmua is quite big and comprises about 75 members, in which most of them are continuously engaged in illegal activities and are registered criminals. “They threatened us on gun-point to sell our land otherwise we will have to suffer”, he added.
Kapura who has knocked every door of the district expressed his exasperation. “Because we are dalits no one listening us".
Janytni Bai, a women member f the community lamented that the affluent have blocked there way to the market and other places and they are now blocked. “This is the time to reap the crops but we are helpless. They abuse us and often threaten us with the gun point to leave the village. We have no drinking water facility since most of the water bodies and hand pumps are in their periphery”, Jayanti said in a telephonic conversation.
“We have complained this to every authority of the district but in vain. Now we have decided to protest in Bhopal
Aforementioned instances are not merely incidents of brutality and atrocity but the imperative standard of cynical corruption which has been injected in our system by insensitive bureaucracy and junk leadership. This shows the erosion of not only our national duty but national character too. Once a great jurist of our country Nani Palkhiwala rightly observed- “We have too much government and too little administration; too many public servants and too little public services; too many controls and too little welfare; too many laws and too little justice."
