26^th National Convention

Dates : 25^th to 28^th December 2009

Place : Chandigarh

APPEAL

Dear Mulnivasi Bahujan friends,

It is a reality that mere formation of an organization does not ensure an accomplishment of its mission. To accomplish a mission its objectives needs to be pursued continuously and regularly in the form of different programmes and activities. Annual conferences and conventions of the organization becomes an important part of such programmes and activities. Keeping this understanding in mind BAMCEF has developed a culture of organizing a National convention regularly at the end of the year. The burning issues related to Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj are discussed and deliberated in National conventions with the view to give proper direction to the Mulnivasi Bahujan masses so as to build the required public opinion. This year on the occasion of 26th National convention following points will be the focus of the discussions and deliberations.

Instituationalization of Organization

BAMCEF during last 31 years had made organized efforts to establish it as an Institution to achieve the goal of social revolution set by our forefathers of Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj.  In this process the organization had succeeded in establishing a unique identity of Phule-Ambedkarite Movement in the Indian society. This has also produced an institutional leadership on large scale. Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj has contributed a lot to bring this success. We know that this success is an out come of the continuous process of institutionalization of BAMCEF. Now we need to strengthen the same with more efforts.

Anti Mulnivasi – Brahminical Education Policy

The alien Aryan-Brahmins,  (the ruling caste) in the country are making efforts to enslave Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj by depriving them from higher education through conspiracies of privatization and commercialization of education, opposition to the representation in higher education, rise in the educational fees, arguing for creamy layer and making crooked  policy of reserving seats for forward caste in public institutions by referring to reservation of backward classes; and on the other hand in the name of literacy mission, campaign for education to all (sarva shiksha abhiyan) and education loan schemes for weaker sections they are basically trying to fool and mislead the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj. All these things are a part of organized conspiracies hatched by them.

THE ISSUE OF CASTE CERTIFICATES

The ruling castes are notoriously engaged in implementing the conspiracy of complicating the process of issuing caste certificates to the Backward Classes (SC, ST, OBC) and not accepting the caste certificates issued by one state in the other state of the country. This matter is related to a larger conspiracy to deprive Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj from availing its Constitutional rights. This has been observed that the high caste (Ruling caste) are producing the false caste certificates and availing the benefits of reservation policy. However instead of punishing them under the I.P.C (Indian Penal Code) the procedure of issuing caste certificates to backward classes is being made more and more complicated. Thus this act of the government is nothing but to protect the criminals and punish the real eligible candidates. Secondly, it is a constitutional rights of all the citizens of India to reside at any place for livelihood but by denial of accepting claims of backward classes  for representation in other states other than their paternal states by the government amounts to indirectly snatching away the constitutional rights of the backward classes.

REPRESENTATION IN JUDICIARY

India is a democratic republic having a system of representative governance. However in its basic institutions namely the legislature and executive (bureaucracy) the system of representation by reservation for Mulnivasi Bahujans is in practice. But there is no system of representation through reservation in Judiciary. Therefore whatever legislations are being enacted through the parliament the same are being nullified with the simple orders of Brahminical Judges dominating the Supreme Court and other courts in the country. Consequently instead of justice an injustice is being handed over to the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj from the supreme court and other courts in the country. On the basis of these facts we have concluded that without having representation to the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj in the judiciary, justice can’t be expected for them. Thus a solution to this serious problem is needs to be sought.

THEME BASED ON MULNIVASI IDENTITY

It is well known fact that Indus valley civilization is one of the oldest and greatest civilizations of the world. The historical facts have proved that alien Aryan Brahmins had destroyed the Indus valley civilization. By the destruction of Indus valley civilization the Mulnivasi Bahujan were degraded and enslaved. Therefore re-establishing the lost indigenous culture and civilization is very much needed. We are of the firm opinion that, by organizing the original inhabitants (Mulnivasis) of India with the help of their collective identity as “Mulnivasis” we can re-establish the Mulnivasi Culture, civilization and bring back the progress and prosperity to Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj.  BAMCEF is making multi dimensional efforts to make it happen. In this sequence we had decided to organize our 26th National Convention based on the theme – “Mulnivasi identity.”

UPROOT BRAHMINISM THE SPIRIT OF INEQUALITY

We all know that Brahminism is the root cause of all kinds of inequalities, communal and castist hatred, unjust social and economic policies, attacks on human dignity and status, integrity and unity of nation. It may appear before us in the form of Brahminical Communism, socialism, Hinduism, Nationalism, Linguistics, regionalism, racism or discrimination but the main source of all the inequalities in India is Brahminism. Therefore Babasaheb Dr. Ambedkar had stated “Uproot Brahminism the spirit of inequality”.  Hence BAMCEF has made this statement as an agenda of first priority in all of its activities including the program of National Convention.

Keeping these points and their contexts in mind the 26th National Convention is being organized. Therefore we earnestly appeal to the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj to whole heartedly contribute in form of physical, financial and intellectual participation in this convention to make it a grand success.

Jai Bhim! Jai Mulnivasi!!

Yours in Mission

Chargesheet to the Ruling Castes

MULNIVASI SANGH
  

Chargesheet to the Ruling Castes

 

Dear Mulnivasi Bahujan friends,

After independence we have adopted parliamentary democracy on 26^th January 1950 through the constitution and promised to provide Justice, Liberty & Equality to all the citizens. The constitution has provided the principle of ‘one man one vote and one vote one value’ through adult franchise. Now we are going to elect our representatives for the 15^th Lok Sabha in the month of April and May 2009. We are at pains to state that, even after 60 years of the commencement of the constitution the dream of the constitution makers to establish a democratic society has not been fulfilled. This is primarily because, the parliament is highly dominated by the ruling castes, through their money power. Therefore no laws are enacted in parliament for the advancement of the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj and even if they are enacted they are hardly implemented by the Executives of the ruling castes. Therefore on the occasion of 15^th Lok Sabha election we must question the candidates from ruling castes and their porteges from the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj as to what moral right they have got to seek votes from Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj and charge sheet them with the following points :-

Economic Policy

1. The ruling castes had adopted the policy of liberalization, privation and globalization (LPG) in the year 1991.
2. The policy of LPG has not only affected the economic life of the various components of the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj comprising of SC,ST, OBC and converted religious minority but has affected their social/educational life as well.
3. At the time of introduction of LPG the ruling castes have created a propaganda that LPG shall open up large number of employment opportunities.
4. The LPG however had created few opportunities for the children of the ruling castes and large section of the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj has been denied the employment opportunities.
5. Due to privatization, of the public sector such as VSNL, and sate of Hotels of hotel corporation the SC, ST, OBC and minorities components of Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj have lost their jobs. Although protection clause was introduced in the agreement the same was not honoured by the private owners and the cases are still being fought up to the level of Supreme Court.
6. Due to privatization of education, the education has become a costlier affair and, the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj cannot afford to provide the professional education such as medical and engineering courses to their children.
7. Due to liberalization of economic policy the ruling castes have introduced the policy of ‘Special Economic Zone (SEZ)’. As a result the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj is loosing lakhs and lakhs of acres of cultivable agricultural land which is a main source of their livelihood.
8. As a result of SEZ policy, the food production has considerably gone down and is not sufficient to meet the food requirement of the Nation.
9. The per capita food availability per day is 470 gms. It is not sufficient to acquire optimum energy level of 2200 calories required for survival.
10. As per the report of Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) an agency of United Nation, 963 million people are hungry in the world of which 20% (about 20 crores) hungry people are living in India.
11. All these people are from Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj and are bound to die due to hunger.
12. They cannot afford to purchase 470 gms of food grains for survival due to high level of inflation (food prices) of more than 13% and still is above 10% as per Consumer Price Index. Therefore the propaganda of development of “Aam Aadmi” is fraud to fool the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj.
13. The ruling castes come to the power with the support of the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj but when it comes to frame the policies for their benefits they tacitly support their counterpart in trade/business and industry.
14. The ruling castes are framing the economic policies and providing stimulus by economic package to trade business and industry, which are controlled by few individuals amongst ruling castes.
15. Whereas the ruling caste does not frame the economic policies in favour of marginal farmers and landless labourers although 65% population of the society is solely dependant on agriculture sector.
16. The ruling castes are lending lakhs of crores of rupees loan through public finance institutions (Bank) to the trade, business and industries of which more than Rs. 2 lack crores has resulted into Non Performing Assets (NPS) i.e. the amount of loan extended to few individuals in trade business and industry has not been recovered by the banks.
17. Where as micro-lending advanced to the marginal farmers are being coercively recovered from the marginal farmers and at times when they are not in a position to repay the loans they resort to suicide.
18. When Rs. 70,000 crores of loans was ordered to be waived by the government to the marginal farmers in the agricultural sector wherein 65% people are seeking employment, the ruling castes have vehemently opposed to the waiver.
19. The agenda of construction of Ram Mandir is another fraud to use the sentiment of OBC, the component of Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj to acquire power.
20. Employment opportunities are not being created in the govt. sector after introduction of LPG their by denying job opportunities to Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj.
21. The congress in its manifesto of 2004 had promised some land through proper implementation of “land ceiling and land redistribution Bill” to the landless families but nothing has happened even after laps of five years.

Educational Policy

1. Due to reduction in the Govt. jobs the teachers are overloaded with non teaching tasks thereby are not in a position to concentrate on teaching.
2. As a result the students from the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj are not imparted with quality education through the Govt. schools.
3. The policy of promoting students without adequate knowledge impaired the students from Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj from acquiring knowledge and therefore they have no future in the future “knowledge society”.
4. The adequate provisions of funds through Special Components Plan (SCP) and Tribal Sub Plan (TSP) are not made by the ruling castes for the advancement of SC/ST the components of Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj.
5. The major funds made available are also not used for hostel facility and scholarship but are diverted by the ruling castes for the general purpose or are returned to the Central Govt.
6. The ruling caste people fraudulently obtained SC/ST certificates to sick the benefits of the reservation.
7. Instead of investigating the matters and prosecuting such persons under Indian Penal Code, the SC & ST students are denied caste certificates unless they submit the records of their caste for the last 50 years from their native place.
8. The ruling caste are engaged in the corrupt practices in the appointments of teacher therefore quality teachers are not available for imparting education to the students from Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj in the schools run by the Govt.

Reservation Policy

1. The congress in its manifesto of 2004 had promised that, it will create a National consensus to provide reasonable share of jobs in the private sector to schedule castes and schedule tribes, the components of Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj and also promised to promote a culture of entrepreneurships amongst these sections of the society however these provisions have been deleted from the “Common Minimum Programe” when the UPA govt. came in power in 2004.
2. The ruling castes in the trade, business and industry have vehemently opposed to the govt. proposal for reservation in private sector.
3. The ruling castes have conspired to enlist some caste in different schedules in the different states. The same caste finds its place in the schedule for SC in one state, ST in other state and OBC in the third state. This is deliberately done to disintegrate the castes under the schedules and thereby deny them the uniform benefits.
4. The SC, ST, OBC and converted minorities components of Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj from one state not provided the benefit of reservation in the other state although it is the constitutional right of the every citizen to reside anywhere in the country for his/her development.
5. The democracy is a form of a government by representation. Therefore the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj aspires for the representation by reservation in legislature, Executive and Judiciary.
6. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar therefore provided representation by reservation in the educational institutions and public services in the fundamental rights under the article 15 & 16 of the constitution.        
7. Whereas reservation to SC, ST in the legislature is provided under article 330 of the constitution.
8. It was initially provided for 10 years and the ruling castes had been extending this period after every 10 years to co-opt the politicians from SC, ST to exercise control over the SC, ST masses to maintain their hegemony.
9. Whereas when the SC, ST and Minority the components of Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj assert for their fundamental rights for seeking representation in educational institutions and the employment provided under article 15 & 16 of the constitution, the ruling castes are entering into a false propaganda through print and electronic media that the reservation was only for 10 years and it should be done awaywith.
10. The element of creamy layers was deliberately introduced by the ruling caste in respect of representation by reservation to OBC in the educational institutions and employment to deny the benefits to eligible and competent candidates.
11. The ruling castes are denying the representation by reservation to OBC other than the creamy layer category on the ground of non availability of the suitable candidates.
12. The ruling castes thus conspiring to deny the benefits of representation by reservation to OBCs and the judiciary held that reserved vacant seats /posts shall go to the general category candidates. 
13. The UPA Govt. has recently introduced a schedules caste and scheduled tribe (Reservation in a post and services) Bill 2008 in the parliament and got it passed in the Rajya Sabha.
14. The policy of representation by reservation is basically an affirmative action whereas section 4(1) (iii) & (iv) of said bill provides that no reservation to SC & ST from amongst Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj shall be provided to the posts higher than the lowest grade of group A posts and qualified as scientific or technical posts and posts higher than the lowest grade of group A posts in institutions of national importance and Indian institutes of management specified in the schedule.
15. This section of the bills is very against the constitutional objective and the objective of the bill which is basically introduced to provide the benefits and not to deny the benefits is therefore detrimental to the interest of SCs & STs, the components of the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj.
16. The provisions of the affirmative action in the constitution are basically against the mind set of the people from the ruling castes and whenever they are seating in the position of power their mindset resists the provisions and therefore the constitutional objective of establishing democratic society based on equality, liberty, fraternity and justice is not achieved.
17. This Section 4(1)(iv) of the bills is a reflection of the mindset of the ruling castes.
18. The women’s reservation bill was introduced in the parliament in the year 2005 and the ruling castes are bent upon to pass it in its present form providing 33% to the women on the ground that the equality and justice is denied to the women in the society. However no rational has been provided to the figure of 33%.
19. The Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj when argues for reservation within reservation meaning thereby the 33% reservation provided in the bill should be apportioned amongst the SC, ST, OBC and minority and general category of women in proportion of their population as the SC, ST, OBC & minority women are more deprived as compared to the general category women, the ruling castes vehemently oppose to this proposition without any logical explanation.
20. To our mind the ruling castes have realized that sooner or later they will have to concede the position of the Prime Minister to the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj in a democracy on the basis of the larger representation likely to be achieved in the parliament and therefore by route of “Women Reservation Bill” they wanted to increase their strength in the parliament to retain the position of the prime minister for perpetual dominance and to protect their own vested interest.         
21. The “Sachhar Committee Report” proposed reservation to Muslims for their socio-economic empowerment. If the reservation to the Muslims is provided in the name of religion then the forward castes amongst the Muslims will grab the major share and the backward castes amongst the Muslims will be deprived of their rightful share and the objective of their socio-economic empowerment will be defeated. Thus a proposition of providing reservation to the Muslims in the name of religion is a conspiracy by high caste Muslims joining hands with ruling castes.
22. The judiciary is highly dominated by the ruling castes and at times is handing out injustice in the name of justice to the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj. A case in hand is that according to judiciary the reservation is not a fundamental right.

National Policy

1. The ruling castes are responsible for global warming as they are the highest consumer of petroleum products and coal based energy. Due to rise in temperature by 0.68⁰C in India, the wheat yield goes down by 10%. Presently the production of wheat is about 80 million tones which would be further reduced to 70 million tones, thereby creating acute shortage of food availability leading to hunger deaths of Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj.

 

Appeal

Friends, the solution lies in the hands of our society (Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj). The solution is to awaken and organize the society under the identity of “Mulnivasi” and thereby place our people in the power structure with the view to create and establish a social democracy in India. We hope you will take a right view and throw out the ruling castes from the power.

 

Jai Bheem! Jai Mulnivasi!!

Mr. M. S. Bahal attended a programme organised by Bharat Rattan B. R. Ambedkar Association Regd. Italy

Since last 9 years the work of BAMCEF is growing steadily at international level.  It is due to hard efforts of Mr. M. S. Bahal (Coordinator, BAMCEF International Network) and other activists of BAMCEF who are working and residing in different countries. Recently, Mr. M. S. Bahal was invited as a guest by Bharat Rattan B. R. Ambedkar Association, Italy to attend a function at Italy. On this occasion he delivered a speech and enlightened the audience about Phule Ambedkar movement and BAMCEF’s aims /objectives and work.  Here are few photographs of said programme.

INAUGURAL SESSION

Date: 27^th December 2008 Time: 10: 00 am to 1:30 pm

(Lunch Break 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM)

DELEGATE SESSION NO: 1

Date: 27th Dec.2008 (Saturday) | Time: 3:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Subject: Self Introspection by the cadres with regards to work done by them and ways and means to achive long term ob- jective of the organization.

BAMCEF had committed itself to the objective of Social Change and had trained its cadres to achieve the same. Keeping this objective in mind, cadres of BAMCEF are active in the society for past three decades and have been continuously educating and awakening the masses. These efforts have resulted in reviving the Phule-Ambedkarite movement to the extent that it has been acknowledged by all the prevailing forces in the country. Certainly this stage could be achieved due to tireless efforts and commitment of cadres for building the movement. However, since the ultimate objective is yet to be achieved, the process of further strengthening the movement has to continue and cadres will be required to put in more and more efforts in determined manner. BAMCEF will be entering the fourth decade in 2009 and on the occasion of Silver Jubilee National Convention, we need to take a review of the work done by us in the past and plan for future. We need to do the introspection to asses and quantify the work done in the past. We need to reflect, whether we had been working in right manner, whether our work was matching with the requirement of our objective and to what extent our caravan has moved in the right direction to achieve the objective. Self-introspection in this regard will not only help us to understand the working of the Phule – Ambedkarite mission in the past but also will help us to learn the lessons from the past and plan for future so that we achieve our ultimate objective of bringing Social Change at the earliest.

 AWAKENING SESSION NO: 1

Date: 27th Dec.2008 (Saturday) | Time: 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

Subject: Identification of Mulnivasi Culture and Challenges for its revitalization in the society.

Several Researches in History, Geography,Archaeology,Anthropology have highlighted the fact that the Mulnivasis of this country had nurtured highly developed glorious civilization on the banks of Indus River during ancient times. But after the invasion of Aryans, the Brahmins destroyed the egalitarian culture of Mulnivasis and imposed on them the inequal, inhuman brahmanical culture and brahmanized the Mulnivasi people of this land. In spite of this the roots of Mulnivasi culture could not be totally eliminated and the glimpses of which , in symbolic form, could still be clearly seen even today in Mulnivasi traditions, festivals, life styles, food habits, costumes etc.. But because of the influence and mixing of brahmanical culture it is difficult to distinguish and identify the mulnivasi culture. It has therefore become a challenging situation to understand, adopt and practice the glorious cultural values in the society. To explore the cultural values and various dimensions of Mulnivasi culture we are discussing this topic.

 DELIGATE SESSION NO: 2

Date: 28th Dec. 2008 (Sunday) | Time: 10:00 am to 1.00 pm

Subject: We should have firm belief in the objective and awakening program rather than adopting reactionary methods.

The Post-Ambedkarite era has witnessed rise and fall of many Ambedkarite organizations. Though the initial formations of the organizations were with sincere desire and pious intentions but in due course these organizations simply vanished from the scene or aligned with other forces for petty gains. This gave a major setback to Phule-Ambedkarite movement and the masses became leaderless. Secondly, it is also observed that on several occasions, the Phule-Ambedkarite masses have spontaneously reacted to the unjust act of the ruling class. However, such reactions could not result into building the movement. Enthusiasm of the masses faded with equal speed with which they reacted on the issue. In both cases it can be observed that, neither there was specific and long term objective of Social Change before them, nor there was any desire to build the movement. BAMCEF has a very clear objective of Social Change, which our fore fathers had set for us. BAMCEF has never diluted, compromised or modified the objective. It is for this reason that BAMCEF did not turn out to be a compromising force. BAMCEF is of a firm opinion that unless there is specific and long term objective in front of us, the movement cannot be built. Having the objective, therefore, becomes a pre-requisite for building the movement. Therefore it becomes mandatory for cadres that they should have firm belief in and dedication towards the Objective of Social Change. Superficial sentimental involvement, without clarity and belief in the Objective, will pose a threat to the movement. If we express our firm belief in the objective, then it is our bounden duty that we keep awakening the masses rather than letting the potential drain out by reactionary methods. We had decided to discuss the subject in this perspective.

Speakers: Delegates from different states shall participate.

Mr. S.R. Mourya (Director Training, BAMCEF) shall preside over

(Lunch Break 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM)

 AWAKENING SESSION NO: 2

Date: 28th Dec.2008 (Sunday) | Time: 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Subject: The present National Economic policy is detrimental to achieve constitutional goal of economic justice for Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj.

The strength of any nation depends upon presence and practice of values of Liberty, Equality, Fraternity and Justice in its social, political and economic life. Accordingly, these values were incorporated in our Constitution, quite explicitly in Preamble, Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State Policy to make Indian Nation economically strong and Governments were expected to formulate and implement the Economic Policies to achieve the Constitutional Objective of Economic Justice. But instead of doing this, governments are making the policies which cause Gross Economic Injustice to Mulnivasi Bahujans (SC/ST/OBC/Religiously Converted Mulnivasi) who are 85 percent of Indian Population. This is resulting in inequality of income and wealth, mass unemployment, illiteracy, poverty, hunger, diseases, starvation deaths and even suicides due to economic distress. This misdeed of rulers is against national interests and therefore needs to be exposed. This is a serious issue for Mulnivasi Intellectuals and therefore this topic is taken for discussion.

Subject: Brahmanical Terrorism is much more dangerous than any other form of terrorism.

The country has witnessed several forms of terrorism during the past 15-20 years. The Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj was invariably the victim of all these terrorist acts irrespective of the group who committed the act. Recently the terrorism has again become an issue in national discourse. Religious colour is been given to these acts of terrorism. The National press is reporting them as Sikh terrorism, Islamic terrorism and Hindu terrorism. The issue is why people take to terrorism? Are they born terrorist? In democracy every section of the society has right to assert for their rights through free expression of their thoughts. However, brahmanical forces in the name of Hindu majority terrorize the atmosphere and gagged the voice of millions of Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj so that they do not assert for their rights. They have destroyed many generations of Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj by imposing mental slavery. It was therefore, decided to expose the brahmanical terrorism and awaken the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj.

Date: 29th Dec.2008 (Monday) | Time: 10:00 am to 1:00 pm.

Subject: Duty and moral responsibility of NRI’s to fulfill the expectation of Phule-Ambedkarite movement.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s emphasis on higher education had motivated the mulnivasi bahujan samaj which created the large number of highly educated people. But at the same time there is a vast section of the society who is still under the grip of social inequalities and are deprived of their basic rights. It is therefore a duty of educated lot to strive for the emancipation of the deprived section by strengthening the Phule-Ambedkarite movement. BAMCEF over past three decade had made efforts to rope in this educated class into the movement and use the available resouces to build the movement. Also the sizeable  number of this educated people had setteled abroad who still has concern for their  brethren here in India. This concern is a great asset for the movement. The intellectual and economic resources and the social feelings in them, if consolidates and put to use can uproot the social disabilities of Indian community. It is therefore, necessary to consolidate all these resources and make Phule-Ambedkarite movement more effective. It is in this regard the duties and moral responsibilities of NRI’s needs to be discussed and evaluated towards their brethren.

Date: 29th Dec. 2008 (Monday) | Time: 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm

Subject: De-brahmanization of Tribals and their socio-economic emancipation.

Tribals are most neglected and exploited section of Indian society. The main reason is, in the past they had openly opposed and fought against Aryan invasion and subsequent rule. The Arya Brahmin had therefore forced the Adivasis to lead the sub-human life in the forest. Despite they struggled a lot to preserve their original identity and glorious culture. The Mulnivasi identity and culture preserved by the tribals has become a matter of concern for brahmanical forces because of which they are trying to replace the “Adivasi” identity by “Vanvasi” identity and Adivasi culture by so called Hindu culture. With the change of this nomenclature, the process of brahmanization of tribals has started. Besides this, attempts are made to identifiy and divide the tribals on religious basis by calling them as “Hindu Adivasi”, Non-Hindu Adivasi”, “Christian Adivasi” etc., so that they keep fighting amongst themselves. Natural resources like forests, land and water have always remained the source of livelihood and part cultural milieu of the tribals. However this has been snatched away by mafia, landlords, money lenders and even the industrialists in the name of development and Adivasis are compelled to move out of their original dwellings. The ruling class is watching the situation as silent spectator. Due to this the socio-economic condition of tribals is getting worst day by day. This socio-economic man made disaster caused by brahmnical forces is creating havoc for Adivasis such as starvation deaths of children, epidemics and mass illiteracy. It is therefore necessary that the Adivasis needs to be de-brahmanized and emancipated from their social and economic exploitation. To analyze this problem and to arrive at some solution we had kept this topic for discussion.

Date: 29th Dec.2008 (Monday) | Time: 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm

Subject: Sub-Categorization of Constitutional reservation amongst castes – A Conspiracy of rulers to initiate infighting among organizing Mulnivasi Samaj.

It is well known fact that our forefathers have done the revolutionary work of emancipating the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj from the mental slavery of Brahminism. Because of which the Socially and Educationally Backward Classes (S.E.B.C.) viz., S.C., S.T. and O.B.Cs have been emerged and provided representation in governance and Administration through the constitution. Reservetion was the mechanism introduced by Babasheb uniting the mulnivasis under the nomenclature of S.C.,S.T.,and O.B.C, who were earlier divided into several thousand castes by Brahmanical system. The educated Mulnivasis from among these classes have been leading the movement of liberating the mulnivasis which fundamentally resulted in altering the social, economic and political equations of the country. Today the situation has come to such level that unless the Mulnivasi Bahujan people are divided, the Arya Brahmins will not be able to comfortably rule the country. Therefore, Brahminis who are presently ruling the counting are making the policies to divide the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj and make them fight among themselves, by destroying the spirit of constitutional representation through reservation. Many state Governments have proposed sub-categorisation of reservation in their states and recently the central Government also has preparred the Bill which will be tabled soon in the parliament. Hence, this topic has been kept to alert the Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj about the conspiracy of the ruling classes and the damage it may cause to the liberation movement of the Mulnivasis.

 Off-shoot wings Session

Date: 30th Dec. 2008 (Tuesday) | Time 10:00 am to 12:00 pm

Subject: Responsibility and action program of Off-Shoot wings of BAMCEF for social change.

In a democracy, rights can be won by mass movement through democratic struggle and the mass movement can be built by organizing different sections of the society by penetration of ideology. Not that Phule-Ambedkarite ideology is not known to Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj, but still we are far away from the critical mass that is required to launch a democratic struggle to snatch the lost rights. The reason is that on one hand we are not yet organized for bringing social change and on the other hand if at all we organize, it is fragmented organization under the political leadership who have always used the masses to meet their selfish ends as per contingencies of the situation. Therefore unless we organize the different sections of the society under the leadership of social organisation we cannot build strong movement to achieve our rights. We have therefore decided to launch different offshoot wings for different sections of the society such as students, youths, ladies, teachers, pensioners etc., ensure penetration of Phule Ambedakrite ideology in them and thus through them organize the society at the grass root to build the mass movement. In this background, the responsibility and action program of offshoot wings will be discussed.

 All Mulnivasi Women are sufferers of the three tier oppression of caste system, poverty and patriarchy. But the solidarity of Mulnivasi women has received a rude shock from the unjust Brahmanical social order. They now stand divided into many castes, and as closed groups distanced from their co-sufferers. But essentially the problems of the ST, SC, and OBC women are same; the severity (of the problem) depends upon their position in the caste ladder (hierarchy).

The ST women (at the most bottom rung) are worst sufferers of inhuman indignities. Hunger, disease, starvation, is the way of life for them and their children. Mass trafficking, prostitution, homelessness & depraved existence on streets is the norm.

The status of SC women is no different either. The attachment of notion of impurity to their being and their emergence as a group resisting oppressive forces of patriarchy and caste has exposed them and their children to unimaginable atrocities and ignominies. The once warrior clan women have been reduced to the level of animal and no better.

The situation of OBC and MBC women is even more pathetic. Even when SC and ST women are seen sporadically putting a brave front and releasing themselves from the shackles of bondage, the OBC women stand totally unaware of the enslavement in the Brahmanical thought and culture. Not knowing the real nature and cause of their oppression they cling to and strengthen the Brahmanical system. Merged in deep slumber they are oblivious of the dangers of the present time. In absence of a strong movement in the OBC groups they are directionless and out of pale of education, employment, a dignified living and future for their childrens seems bleak.

The National statistics (National Sample Survey) shows that in villages the OBC and MBC women, are devoid of land and any source of income, they are in huge debt and their men are being driven away to suicide. In each and every “basti” of cities, the OBC and MBC women live in abject poverty surrounded by filth, squalor and are engaged in most low paying jobs and flesh trade.

In stark contrast, all talks regarding the progress of women in this country, their ever increasing participation in education field their presence in art, culture and jobs which earlier were the preserve of men pertains to upper caste women only. It is only the upper caste women who have greatly benefited in the last 60 years. The mulnivasi women are nowhere near them. There is a clear cut demarcation line between the upper caste women and mulnivasi women. The former under the garb of women unity and feminism are out to fool and use mulnivasi women for their own caste interests. They try to keep the Brahmanical system alive and have never revolted against the system. Instead they have engaged themselves in all superfluous, superficial, rehabilitative activities, akin to striking a stick on placid water which only creates a few ripples, never going to the root cause of caste system and patriarchy. The upper caste women have never risen in revolt against Brahmanism. Hence we do not seek their support or participation but believe in creating our own strength.

BETRAYAL OF THE CONSTITUTION

It is true that the greatness of any nation can be gauged by the status of the women. If this principle is applied to India, Indian society cannot qualify as being a civilized progressive society. The status of women is so pitiable that the Indian society can aptly be labeled as primitive society. Whereas in the Constitution of India provision for upliftment of women are made in article 15(39) it is seen that the spirit of the Constitution is not reflected in the society.

Since 1950 (after the transfer of power from British to Congress) 60 yrs have lapsed but there is a rapid downfall in the position of women.

The percentage of Mulnivasi women reaching up to higher education is a dismal 5%. The drop out rate from school is as high as 60%. They are grossly under-represented in the job sector. They form the most unorganized sector. They are nutritionally malnourished and anaemic. In absence of nourishment they are inflicted with many diseases. One in every 10 child in their family dies of want for low cost treatment. The health related expenditure of their family is second most common cause of debt and 70% of the families of Mulnivasi women cannot afford treatment for their children.

This state of affairs spells betrayal of the Constitution by the people whose responsibility it is to see that it is implemented in letter and spirit. The mulnivasi women are victims of callous indifferent and hateful attitude of upper castes who are in power in politics, economic and religious sphere.

ROOT CAUSE OF OPPRESSION- CASTE & PATRIARCHY, SPRING FROM BRAHMINISM

Matriarchial system was the way of life in Mulnivasi culture before the invading Aryans (Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaishyas) destroyed it systematically by adopting methods of coercion, by instilling fear, by creating legends and by declaring it as word of God.

Both the instruments of suppression i.e., caste system and patriarchy (male domination) has its origin in Brahmanical tradition, festivals, stories, epics, legends and most importantly the scriptures right from Vedas to the Puranas, which are held, sacred by the women. Sacredness prevents revaluation of its value, once sacred – always sacred and this phenomenon has lead to the perpetuation of the abominable system.

IGNORANCE OF THE MULNIWASI WOMEN HAS TO BE UPROOTED

Not aware of the real nature and motive of religion and traditional notions, Mulnivasi women out of there ignorance are seen to be clinging, strengthening and preserving the very system which degrades them.

The ignorance of Mulnivasi women has to be removed. Our renaissance leaders like Jyotiba Phule, Savitri bai Phule, Periyar Ramasami, Narayan Guru and Babasaheb Ambedkar all strived and struggled their entire lives to remove the ignorance. But a lot more has to be done. The magnitude of the problem is of such proportions that the efforts are highly inadequate. To come out of the despondency and dependence a nationwide movement of the mulnivasi women along side the existing Phule-Ambedkarite movement run by BAMCEF is required.

NATIONAL CONVENTION FOR NATIONWIDE AWAKENING & PROTEST

The National Convention will prove be a milestone in the history of struggles of Mulnivasi women. It is for the first time since 1950 that SC, ST, OBC women will be coming together as a united force. It will blow the bugle of emancipation of Mulnivasi women. It will herald a new era.

The Mulnivasi Mahila Sangh activists are already working in areas of education and creating awareness on relevant issues. However a Nationwide Campaign will be launched to address the following issues urgently.

1.     Free and compulsory education to Mulnivasi women upto graduation and higher budgetary allocation for education in the Annual Budget. Privatisation of education has affected the Mulniwasi Bahujan Samaj the most. It will not be surprising that if left unfettered the next generation will be largely illiterate. The activists will establish mass public contact to pressurize State and Central Government to implement various schemes and programmes throughout the country.

2.     Free Health Services: It is the responsibility of any welfare state to make health care affordable and mostly free. On the contrary, it is seen that India’s health care system is the most privatized in the entire world (78%). The state funds only 2% of the health expenditure. Corporation funding is a mere 3% and NGO funds only 0.3%. Rest comes directly from the citizens. Instead of strengthening the Public Health System, Government Hospitals and Medical Colleges, the Govt is allowing a free hand to the corporate sector. For eg: In Andhra Pradesh the Congress Government under the project -Rajiv Gandhi Arogya Shree is giving money from government treasury to all corporate hospitals. We will expose these ruthless and merciless power brokers and create a mass awareness. The doctors and health professionals from Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj will be actively working on this front to strength Health care system & ensure good health in all stages of life from birth till old age.

3.     Movement against SEZ: Cleverly camouflaged under the term “economic development”, the SEZ’s are virtually proving to be “special elimination zones’ – eliminating the lives of Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj. Large amount of fertile cultivable land – the only source of livelihood, is forcibly been taken away from Mulnivasi Bahujan Society. The Mulnivasi women and the children are starving and men being led to suicides. The same land is given away at throw away prices to real estate owners and pseudo industrialist as lease for a life time. Employment is provided to handful as daily wage earners adopting the “hire and fire” policy with no food or financial security. Mulnivasi Mahila Sangh will actively participate in staging protests against the SEZ all over the country.

4.     Women Reservation Bill: The bill is a clearcut conspiracy by the upper castes and their political parties to usurp 33% seats (i.e 81 seats out of total 543 parliament seats) by filling upper castes women in these seats. Surprisingly even the Left Front which proclaims to be working for the masses is against giving any representation to the Mulniwasi women. We will awaken the public in this regard and expose the poisonous fangs of the so called “progressive men and women” from various organizations, and parties.

All the above issues will be discussed thread bare. Information is power and during the two days of the Convention we will empower our women with information.

An all India signature campaign is underway to place our view as regards the Women Reservation Bill wherein we have made it clear that since women constitute 50% of the population, instead of 33%, actually 50% of seats should be reserved for women and 85% representation should be given to SC ST and OBC women within the 50%.

The campaign will culminate in the Convention. Thereafter we propose to give a representation to all concerned at the helm of affairs including the President of India.

We request you to attend the convention in large numbers and strengthen the movement for the liberation of the Mulniwasi Women in this country.

JAI BHEEM! JAI MULNIWASI!! JAI BHARAT!!!
