OUR FUCKING DEMOCRACY:- last week headlines read \”fdi makes it way in insurance sector n pension schemes\”. rest of d pages were full of scams n corruption chaos and still after trying their best d editors come across agitated public complaining that why did u not mention that scam?? he is ur relative or u too shared a pie?? a 18k crore scam report was way inside the newpaper pages as if it was no way for d ppl to go thru.
lets get back to some serious issue. last week i came across a piece of news from udupi, southern karnatka.42 years ago two ladies of scheduled caste(SC) were appointed as janiators/ maid in a school on temporary basis. they used to clean th toilets and were paid 15 per month as salary. i agree that 42 yrs before thngs were not like today and hardly thngs were so costly but still 15 bucks cud not even give a bachelor two times bread and they got 15 as their salary to ryn their family.wateva, they joined on that salary also as they were told by the FIRM to get as permanent employees in due course of time. their only lust was wid the permanent job as u can unstand wats one can plan their future wid 180 buck a year??
i wasnt expecting a miracle though, \”like those two ladys today are corporate stalwarts\”, comeon u mus b kidding. but ya miracle did happen guys!! they still r paid 15 buck only per month and they have to clean the toilets thrice everyyday. by mistake also their salary dint go up to even 16 bucks. try to imagine n figure out how those 2 ladies wud be surviving on that 15 bucks per month from last 4 decades????
an ngo lodges a complain in karnatka judicial tribunal against the firm and dis made the firm go red n blue and they stopped paying those ladies that 15 bucks also and its been 11 years now since they r not paid wat we call as package. however the judiciary ordered to give them a permanent status and pay their salary within 90 days. but the firm moved to supreme court (SC). and after 2 years supreme court ordered the firm to pay them full with the job status as permanent. that firm ignored the supreme order and still those ladies are working on d same package they were 4 decades ago and job status is in no way changed.
a DALIT (SCHEDULED CASTE) woman can be appointed as chief minister of a state and to add DR. B.R. AMBEDKAR known as messiah of dalits are worshipped in every dalit house, a cartoon on him printed in a text book got the stature of \”NATIONAL ISSUE\”, OUR PARLIAMENT CAN INTRODUCE NEW WONAM EMPOWEREMENT BILLS AND LAWS EVRY NOW N THEN BUT THIS WHOLE FUCKING DEMOCRACY CUD NOT GIVE JUDGEMENT TO THOSE TWO JANIATORS. d firm cud have respected the court order but they even stopped paying them those 15 bucks per month and moved to supreme court. they wud have died of shame by even thinking to do dis. inspite of giving judgement in favour of those two ladies the firm ignored the order of the top judicial system n still d scene is same. i dont think anyone among us wud ever have even imagined that thr are some lobbies who are anti-dalit, anti-women who simply hate them like anythng.
in those 42 yrs so many directors came and retired in dat firm, so many education secretaries came n went, education ministers of all the ruling parties took the office n were given a grand farewell but those 2 dalit ladies are intact n stable like they were 42 yrs ago.why n how?? is still somethng no one cud answer.
in so many election campaigns and all the oaths the ruling party and different poloticians took in the state assemply that they will work for dalit empowerement and work for the betterment of poor people and blah blah blah!!! did they never came across dis?? no doubt thousand of ngo\’s are thr in dat part of country and even thr are govt organizations working for d betterment of dalits but how cum one can believe that they never came across this inhuman torcher????
and can anyone plz explain the role of media here?? they actually dont get time from covering fashion weeks n Mallya\’s deals and chasing the short skirt socialites. this is not important that how those ladies wud be managing their family\’s survival in those 15 bucks neither is how they survived those 11 years?? important is they kept on working on dis salary n they were made to work.n mind u this was not done by some hindi movie \”saahukars n seths\” but dis whole scene was directed by our law, judiciary which run thru the constitutional directions. they went on lodging complains after complains and paying lawyers lacs of fees and those ladies were neve were in a state to protest and even their families mus have been supressed as they tooo dint raised a voice. wat dis state government was doing by paying lacs of fees to lawyers and ignoring the supreme court orders? what sort of constitutional law they were following?? isnt it justified that those culprits shud be punished wheather they r retired or on d brink of death?? and those ladies shud be paid their salary wd interest????? isnt it fair enough for d chief minister to go ahead and accept the mistake and set an example for others who are running for only votes and notes??? he shud set a landmark judgement against those culprits who have raped n ripped apart the judicial system of our democracy.
