Letters written by ambedkar to british government are Self explanatory. Evidences.

Based on pictures of correspondence between ambedkar and british government , it points to active participation of dalits in british army to loot our country , to conquer bharath and support extended by ambedkar to british government.

Bharath Rathna is highest award of our land and must be given only to persons who worked for our country but not against it.

In this backdrop we appeal to you to order GOI to check in the records of Home Ministry, Parliamentary affairs ministry , parliament library , government archives and to give us following information :

Did ambedkar truly wrote that letter to british government citing cooperation of dalits to britishers ?

Did all dalits supported britishers in looting bharath and conquering bharath ?

Did ambedkar participated in any satyagrahas , freedom struggle ?

Did ambedkar alone wrote Constitution of India from scratch to final document ?

Bharath Rathna is awarded to persons who have contributed to well being of all bharatiyas irrespective of their castes , religions , etc.

Such virtuous persons are respected by people wholeheartedly regardless of government sponsored holidays , celebrations , statues in his honour. There is no need for coercive, violent threats to show respect to that person.

When a person has meted out injustice to people and favored a select section , favored people will celebrate him and those suffering injustice will never respect him inspite of coercion, violence.

Nowadays frequent violence by dalits and against dalits are happening through out India in the name of ambedkar , ambedkar statue , etc.

Please visit the following websites and read purported letters written by ambedkar to british government.

Please order government of india to examine government records to check whether those letters are indeed written by him.

It will prove is ambedkar truly Bharatha Rathna ? This will put an end to all violence , disparities.

We respect all irrespective of caste , religion , etc. It must be reciprocated.

Atrocities against dalits in the name of caste are heinous crimes and governments , courts are harshly punishing perpetrators of such crimes.

But what about atrocities committed by dalits , governments against others in the name of caste ? Why no proper action , harsh punishments to such criminal dalits ? Double standards ? Is this equality ?

Reservation Policy of government is not annihilating caste but reinforcing caste systems more and fomenting caste hatred.

Major change reservation policy has achieved is change in caste hierarchy by turning it upside down. Old caste system was worse and new reservation policy caste system is worse too.

What we truly need is Bharath with identification as bharathiya a human being nothing else.

Just take four actual examples :

1. Karnataka government grants lakhs of rupees medical aid to SC / dalit patients suffering from rare diseases while nothing to poor patients belonging to other castes. Is this humanity ? Equality ? Atrocity by government.

2. A medical college in UP state proposed passing repeatedly failing SC MBBS students.

3. Few years ago Delhi university set zero marks as eligibility criteria for sc candidates for PhD mathematics entrance examination.

4. In previous neet examinations candidates with zero / negative marks were admitted to pg courses.

Are not above cases atrocities, caste discrimination ?

Nature has given birth to all human beings as equals. Nobody is superior or inferior.

No caste , no religion , no religious scriptures , no Constitution, no law is great , perfect.

Humanity , humaneness is great. Human rights are great. We all human beings are from earth and go to the same earth in the end , what is the use of disparity , distinctions ?

Editorial : Ambedkar contribution to Independence struggle ?

Explain contribution of ambedkar to independence struggle.

Did he participate in satyagrahas , jailed by british ? He worked as a british government minister. He & Periyar opposed independence. They were only concerned about dalit benefits. He is great ?

We whole heartedly respect the ideals of our Constitution but democratically oppose the biased , inhuman british era laws in it. Those biased laws must be amended to achieve our constitutional ideals put forth in the preamble.

Then alone true independence reaches all bharathiyas.

Ambedkar’s Views on Indian Independence,Self Rule, Constituent Assembly and Scheduled Tribes.

A majority of the makers of the Indian Constitution did not agree with Ambedkar’s view and provided equal rights and protections to STs.

Fact 1: Ambedkar told the British Viceroy Wavell on 5 April 1946: “If India became independent, it would be one of the greatest disasters that could happen,” (Transfer of Power, Vol VII, pp. 144-47). He claimed that “Swaraj (India under freedom) cannot but be a Hindu Raj” (Writings and Speeches, Vol 9, p. 393).

Ambedkar insisted that India did not need a Constituent Assembly. “It is absolutely superfluous. I regard it as a most dangerous project.” He preferred the Government of India Act 1935 itself to be turned into the Constitution with some modifications (Writings and Speeches, Vol 1, pp. 360-1)..,.The All India Scheduled Castes Federation (led by Dr Ambedkar) even considered boycotting the Constituent Assembly, in the same way that the Muslim League actually did (Transfer of Power, Vol VII, pp.197-98).

Ambedkar was not in favour of the one-man-one-vote principle, which underpins the working of parliamentary democracy in India (Writings and Speeches, Vol 1, p. 413).

He also disapproved of the concept of territorial constituencies, which has been adopted by the Indian Constitution and the constitutions of most democracies around the world (Writings and Speeches, Vol 9, p. 396)…Ambedkar insisted, as late as in March 1947 (that is, after the Constituent Assembly had already been established on 9 December 1946), that the interests of the Scheduled Castes would not be safe in independent India unless they got “separate electorates”. (Writings and Speeches, Vol 1, p. 401) It may seem unbelievable today, but he had even demanded “separate villages” for SCs.

Resolution No IV titled ‘Separate Settlements’, passed at the All India Scheduled Castes Conference in Nagpur in July 1942 (Writings and Speeches, Vol 9, p. 393), states: “The Constitution should provide for the transfer of the Scheduled Castes from their present habitation and form separate Scheduled Caste villages away from and independent of Hindu villages.”.

Opinion

Ambedkar: A loyal sepoy of Britishers and his anti-India face

by Rāma Jāmadagnya July 27, 2021

July 27, 2021

Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar is a historical personality, whose mere mentioning of the name evokes strong sentiments from people across the sociopolitical spectrum in modern Indian. Ambedkar has been glorified as a messianic character to whom a variety of accomplishments have been ascribed, viz., being the father of the Indian Constitution, a supporter of Indian freedom struggle from the British colonial rule, a proponent of social justice and equality, a champion of women empowerment, an advocate of the integration of Kashmir in the Indian union, and above all as being an Indian patriot who wanted a strong and united India.

However, Ambedkar was far from being the ideal hero he has been projected to be in the present times. Historical facts from primary sources allude to a different direction, which has however been sidelined to create an artificial make-believe tale of Ambedkar, thereby painting a perverted and negative impression of the Hindu society.

This series of articles aims to put out facts from primary historical sources to clarify this imaginary picture of Ambedkar which has been pushed down the throat of the Indian masses. The intention is to shed light on the actions and statements made by Ambedkar himself, which have been brushed aside from the public sphere, and to help people know the reality for what it is, instead of how it has been made out to be by the political establishment due to their vested interests. This first part of this series will focus on the role he played during the Indian freedom movement, being a loyal minister of the British government, and his contribution in widening and aggravating the fault lines within the Hindu society.

1. A Loyal Sepoy of the British

Throughout Ambedkar’s public life we will be hard-pressed to find even a single instance where he supported the freedom movement against the British. On the contrary, at every available opportunity, he was persuading the British to stay back in India and made every attempt possible to derail the freedom movement. For instance, it was Ambedkar’s firm opinion that “If India became independent, it would be one of the greatest disasters that could happen” (Fig. 1).

Figure 1. Note of Meeting between Cabinet Delegation, Field Marshal Viscount Wavell and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar on Friday, 5 April 1946 at 12 noon [Nicholas Mansergh (1977), The Transfer of Power, 1942-47, Vol. 7, pp. 144-147].

Ambedkar’s language was always framed in a way to be favorable to the continuation of British rule over India. While today he is considered as a nationalist unifying figure, he made every attempt possible to prove to the British that the supposed ‘Untouchables’ was the greatest allies of the British along with the other minorities (Fig. 2).

Dr. Baba Ambedkar: Writings and Speeches, Volume X, pp. 496].

In addition to flaming caste-based hatred in the Hindu society, Ambedkar was also a sympathizer of the Muslim League. With British refusal to make any progress regarding India’s freedom, Congress ministers resigned in protest during November 1939. While Jinnah decided to celebrate the exit of Congress as a “Day of Deliverance”, Ambedkar declared he would join in for the celebration (Fig. 3). This strategic alignment of Ambedkar with the Muslims in opposing the Congress was always useful for the British to justify their colonial subjugation of India.

Figure 3. Ambedkar’s alignment with Jinnah in celebrating the resignation of Congress leaders from the British government [Dhananjay Keer (2005), Dr. Ambedkar: Life and Mission, Popular Prakashan, p. 330].

All the positions taken by Ambedkar were in line with the interests of the British. During 1939, when the second world war was about to break out, Congress was pushing for self-governance and this was putting the British in a tight position, which intended to gain assistance from India to fight a war. In such a critical stage as well, Ambedkar stood firmly with the British. On 7 October 1939, as the crisis was reaching its peak, in a discussion with the Secretary of State, Ambedkar resolutely declared that self-governance by Indians should be completely opposed (Fig. 4).

Through his efforts of supporting the British cause, Ambedkar was garnering appreciation from high-ranking British officials, which comes up time and again in their correspondences. As a result, they wanted to reward him with a position of influence in the government. Particularly, they wanted to give Ambedkar a position in the Viceroy’s council (Fig. 5).

Figure 5. British express their appreciation for Ambedkar’s usefulness for them [Arun Shourie (1997), Worshipping False Gods; Ambedkar, and the facts which have been erased, Harper Collins, p. 66].

Finally, Ambedkar’s efforts paid off when Ambedkar was inducted into the Viceroy’s Executive Council on 20 July 1942. And he made the most of his opportunity to be of best use to the British. However, Ambedkar was not just introduced into the Viceroy’s Council for rewarding him. It was part of a larger scheme to wrest the SCs from the Hindu society to make it easier for the missionaries to target them and convert them from their native religion (Fig. 6).

Figure 6. Ambedkar being the instrument of choice for the British to separate the SCs from the Hindu society [Arun Shourie (1997), Worshipping False Gods; Ambedkar, and the facts which have been erased, Harper Collins, p. 85].

Ambedkar was a quintessential loyal minister for the British government. Soon after he joined the Viceroy’s Council, on 8 August 1942, the “Quit India” resolution was passed by the Congress which started widespread protests, demonstrations, and violence across the country. Ambedkar did everything in his hands to protect the British government from any criticism. While the brutal measures taken by the British government were raising questions in the Assembly, Ambedkar stood steadfastly behind the government. He plainly said that there could not be a better form of government for the Indians than what they had at that moment, which was the British government. Being the Labour Minister, Ambedkar was also involved in carrying out pro-government propaganda through radio broadcasting, slandering the freedom movement using pejorative words such as, “a fetish of nationalism” and “the worship of the ancient past” (Fig. 7).

Figure 7. Ambedkar defending the measures of the British government during the Quit India Movement in the Assembly as well through radio broadcasting [Arun Shourie (1997), Worshipping False Gods; Ambedkar, and the facts which have been erased, Harper Collins, p. 102].

To understand the extent of blatant whitewashing of facts and propagation of falsehood which Ambedkar was indulging in, we just need to look at some of the facts and figures on the brutalities and persecution which the Indians were subjected to by the British during the Quit India movement. Even going by the official statistics, around 10,000 – 25,000 people were shot dead by police or military firings (Fig. 8(a)), countless young men including college students were brutally flogged, and according to some reports in some cases whole villages were flogged to death (Fig. 8(b)).

(a) and (b) Brutal persecution of Indians by the British during the Quit India movement, during which Ambedkar was the labor minister in the Viceroy’s Executive Council during 1942-1946, an active collaborator, and a vocal supporter of British policies [Jawaharlal Nehru (1946), The Discovery of India, The Signet Press, pp. 500-502].

If these figures sound disturbing enough, we are yet to consider the supposedly man-made famine crisis in India during the second world war, particularly in Bengal in the year 1943-44. According to the official Famine Inquiry Commission, presided over by Sir John Woodhead (The Famine Enquiry Commission, 1945, p. 1), during the Bengal Famine of 1943, “Between one to two million people died as a result of the famine and the outbreaks of epidemic diseases associated with it” (Fig. 9). And these numbers are limited to Bengal alone. If we consider the situation throughout the country, we can very well imagine the kind of calamitous and dreadful time it was for Indians. But here was Ambedkar during such tumultuous times of suffering, emphatically stating with utter confidence that the British government was the best form of government for the Indians, and even indulging in blatantly false propaganda to whitewash their dreadful crimes from the public eyes!

Figure 9. The approximate number of deaths during the calamitous Bengal Famine in 1943-1944, during which Ambedkar was the labor minister in the Viceroy’s Executive Council during 1942-1946, who was putting all his defending the British government [Sir John Woodhead et al. (1945), The Famine Enquiry Commission – Final Report, Superintendent Government of India Press, p. 1].

2. An Aggravator of The Fault Lines Within the Hindu Society

While today’s Hindutva leaders glorify Ambedkar as an ally and sympathizer of Hindus, Ambedkar’s attempts were constantly in the direction of permanently severing the Hindu society. During the Round Table Conference in 1931, Ambedkar was adamant in insisting that Scheduled Castes (SCs) were different from Hindus, and even went on to the extent that their interests were not just different but eternally opposed to that of the Hindus. Even after opposition from Gandhi and other Congress leaders, Ambedkar held on to his position that SCs should be given separate electorates (Fig. 10).

Figure 10. Ambedkar’s obduracy in demanding separate electorates for the SCs [Arun Shourie (1997), Worshipping False Gods; Ambedkar, and the facts which have been erased, Harper Collins, p. 64].

During the colonial times, it was a standard practice of the Europeans to cite incidents of atrocities or evil practices among a native population, to justify their colonial rule over them. In this regard, Ambedkar proved to be a useful asset for the British to perpetuate their control over Indians with the excuse that Indians were incapable of taking care of their own people. In his attempt to paint a perverse and horrific image of the Indians, particularly the Hindu society, Ambedkar even went to the extent of equating Hinduism to Nazism! (Fig. 11). In any sensible society, spreading such dangerous falsehoods and sowing seeds of hatred and enmity between communities would amount to incitement of violence in the society. But we live in a society that has been subjected to relentless propaganda on one side which has resulted in a total inversion of the truth.

Figure 11. Excerpts of a Paper by Ambedkar on the Problem of the Untouchables of India for the Session of the Conference at Mont’ Tremblant in Quebec, Canada on December 1942 [Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, Writings, and Speeches, Volume IX, pp. 97-98].

It would be a shock for many people today if they were told that, Ambedkar was in fact against even the formation of a Constituent Assembly. But this was the fact; in reality, Ambedkar wanted a constitutional lawyer from the UK or the USA to preside over a commission to make a constitution (Fig. 12). Moreover, according to Ambedkar the Commission’s role of this commission would be limited to suggesting modifications to the already Government of India Act of 1935, which was promulgated by the British. Essentially, Ambedkar preferred a continuation of the British system of governance instead of a constitution framed by fellow Indians.

Figure 12. Ambedkar’s opposition to the formation of a Constituent Assembly [Arun Shourie (1997), Worshipping False Gods; Ambedkar, and the facts which have been erased, Harper Collins, p. 19].

Ambedkar was ever ready to produce atrocity literature against the Hindu society as per the requirements of the British whenever it was needed to discredit the Congress party and stop any progress towards independence. Around the brink of the beginning of the second world war (around October 1939), when Congress was pressurizing the British to yield for self-governance of India, Mohammad Ali Jinnah’s Muslim League raised concerns regarding issues of rights of minorities. Here again, Ambedkar was together with the Muslim League, in projecting the Hindu society in a negative light. Ambedkar says that he is ready to place multiple times greater number of cases of oppression than the Muslims could (Fig. 12). It is worth noting that, this strategy of using atrocity literature created through one-sided documentation of the incidents and repeating well-packaged lies, is used even today to malign the Hindu society and disregard its valid concerns.

Figure 13. Alignment of Muslim League and Ambedkar in maligning the Hindu society by the means of built-up atrocity literature [Arun Shourie (1997), Worshipping False Gods; Ambedkar, and the facts which have been erased, Harper Collins, p. 40].

Ambedkar not only gave all his efforts towards the continuation of the British rule of India, but he also had planned to restrict the newly formed independent government to make way for a backdoor neo-colonial intervention of India. He wanted the newly formed government to make a treaty with Great Britain to allow them to intervene in our internal affairs even after independence. Not only this, but he also had an even more disruptive agenda of creating autonomous tracts of territory for SCs all over the country (Fig. 14).

Figure 14. Ambedkar’s proposals to tie down the soon-to-be-created independent Indian state under the mercy of Great Britain [Arun Shourie (1997), Worshipping False Gods; Ambedkar, and the facts which have been erased, Harper Collins, p. 44].

This was not a one-time proposal from Ambedkar. As late as 1946, Ambedkar continued to propagate his attempts to severe the Hindu society and the to be formed Indian state with separate electorates to SCs, separate settlements for the SCs, and so on, which would essentially mean the creation of sub-nations within a nation (Fig. 15). It would seem unbelievable today, but he had demanded “separate villages” for the SCs. Resolution No IV titled ‘Separate Settlements’, passed at the All India Scheduled Castes Conference in Nagpur in July 1942 (Writings and Speeches, Vol 9, p. 393), states: “The Constitution should provide for the transfer of the SCs from their present habitation and form separate SC villages away from and independent of Hindu villages”. It is noteworthy that the Constitution makers rejected this dangerous idea of separate electorates and saved the Hindu society from a potentially toxic and perilous idea. Also, Ambedkar’s idea is not much different from the demand for ‘Dalitstan’ or ‘Harijanistan’ by modern Ambedkarites.

Figure 15. Demand by Ambedkar’s All-India Scheduled Castes Federation for separate electorates and separate settlements for the SCs [Arun Shourie (1997), Worshipping False Gods; Ambedkar, and the facts which have been erased, Harper Collins, p. 49].

3. Independence on the Horizon and After: A Disgruntled and Ungrateful Man

Nevertheless, despite all his efforts to mollycoddle the British, Ambedkar never could gain acceptance from the pan-Indian SC community. This was proved conclusively in the provincial general assembly elections of 1946. In this election, Ambedkar’s Scheduled Castes Federation was dealt a devastating blow. Even in regions where his community, i.e., the Mahar community had a considerable population, his party was decisively defeated by the Congress (Fig. 16).

Figure 16. The sound defeat of Ambedkar’s party in the 1946 general assembly elections [Arun Shourie (1997), Worshipping False Gods; Ambedkar, and the facts which have been erased, Harper Collins, p. 50]

Since it was becoming clear that India’s freedom could not be stopped now, Ambedkar quickly started pleading with the British government to somehow give his party some positions of power in the newly formed interim government (Fig. 17). This behavior reveals Ambedkar’s tendency to go to any extent possible to curry favor with the colonialists to gain the seats of power.

Figure 17. Ambedkar pleads with the British government to ensure him some position in the interim government [Arun Shourie (1997), Worshipping False Gods; Ambedkar, and the facts which have been erased, Harper Collins, p. 51].

But, in the end, it was the same Hindu leaders of the Congress party, whom Ambedkar had abused and dissed throughout his public life, who ensured a seat for him in the Constituent Assembly, with their rather misplaced sense of generosity. It was based on Sardar Patel’s phrase of, “forget and forgive”, that Ambedkar got a chance to continue in the Constituent Assembly and become the Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Constitution (Fig. 18).

Figure 18. Ambedkar was given a seat in the Constituent Assembly due to the sheer large-heartedness of the Hindu leaders of the Congress party [Arun Shourie (1997), Worshipping False Gods; Ambedkar, and the facts which have been erased, Harper Collins, p. 55].

Unfortunately, even after receiving such generosity and wholehearted acceptance from the Hindu leaders of the time, Ambedkar continued to spew venom against them. According to Ambedkar, fundamental rights were not needed during the British rule because, their administration was fair and just, and “there was a sense of security” among the people. But, with independence, it became necessary to include fundamental rights in the Constitution to allay the concerns of the minorities (Fig. 19). This small illustration itself shows his sophisticated usage of words to club the minorities and the SCs together and pitting them against the rest of the Hindu society, while carefully injecting a victim mentality in them, which continued even after the independence.

Figure 19. Ambedkar’s arguments exalting the British rule after independence, being part of the Parliament in Congress government [The Constitution (Fourth Amendment) Bill, Rajya Sabha Debates, 19 March 1955, Columns 2449-50, https://rsdebate.nic.in/bitstream/123456789/583570/1/PD_09_19031955_19_p2437_p2520_2.pdf].

Ambedkar did not limit his argument of separate electorates and separate nationhood for SCs only; extending his logic, he in fact believed that, even Sikhs, Kashmiris, North Easterners, Muslims, Christians, etc., also deserved a right to self-determination. According to him, “India is not a nation and was never a nation” (Fig. 20). It is one of the paradoxes our times that a person who had such caustic views about the very existence of this nation is today celebrated as a freedom fighter, a historical figure worth emulating, and hailed as the principal architect of the Indian constitution.

Figure 20. Ambedkar’s views of having separate electorates and a right to self-determination [Dipak Basu and Victoria Miroshnik (2017), India as an Organization: Volume One: A Strategic Risk Analysis of Ideals, Heritage and Vision, Springer, p. 185].

Overall, Ambedkar remained a disgruntled, ungrateful man for the rest of his life, attributing all the failures he faced to inequality in the society and blaming others for discriminating and oppressing him while disregarding all the goodwill, respect, and magnanimity that were shown to him even by his political and ideological adversaries.

Conclusion

Throughout his public life, before the British left India, Ambedkar took positions that were perfectly aligned with the needs of the British Empire. All his attempts were either towards stopping or subverting the Indian freedom movement. Even in dire situations such as the brutal persecution of fellow Indians during the Quit India movement and the Bengal Famines, he stood with the British without any hesitation. His venomous views on Hinduism and his relentless attempts to fracture the Hindu society by flaming inter-caste hatred make him unworthy of the title of a national hero. Further, his quick overtures and adjustments to gain political power reveal some of the possible motivations for his actions. In summary, with the facts in hand, Ambedkar’s dangerous proposals such as arrangements for the convenient neo-colonial intervention of India, and the creation of separate settlements and electorates for the scheduled caste communities which could have led to sub-national and separatist tendencies, provides ample evidence to show that Ambedkar was quite the opposite of a national hero, and could be better described as a proponent of colonial subjugation and fragmentation of the Hindu society, and thereby India.

Ambedkar against Constitution & Independence ?

https://e-inquirer.blogspot.com/2023/11/ambedkar-against-constitution.html

Constitution of India biased

Constitution of India written by ambedkar is unjust and enforces iniquity. It favours few castes , religions like dalit , muslims. We respect noble ideals of constitution but oppose inhuman , unjust , inequitable laws in it.

Violation of human rights is a crime. Constitution of india violates human rights , therefore ....

Constitution law must treat all as equals. Ideally law must help all oppressed people irrespective of caste or religion.

Constitution without equality humanity is waste. Religion without equality humanity is waste. Humanity is greater than constitution & religion.

Is it not the duty of government to redress sufferings of all castes , religions ? Does constitution and government think only dalits , muslims have rights not others ?

Every human being gets human rights by birth. It is not given by ambedkar , constitution or religion. Nobody , no ambedkar has authority to violate human rights of others. Look at unjust , biased laws in constitution it favours few caste , religion and oppresses others.

please look at different property laws , different marriage laws for different castes & religions. Different set of governance rules for religious bodies of different religions. Lack of accountability laws for police judges MPs MLAs. Is it equality ?

we whole heartedly empathise with dalits and others who have suffered oppressions like untouchability. Untouchability must be eradicated not just physically but from mindset of all. However constitution laws , government is concerned only about dalit suffering, not others.

Editorial : Caste Hatred & Independence

All human beings in our country are equals nobody is superior not inferior. All human beings must be equally respected.

Our politicians and society are propagating following myths to appease dalits.

Ambedkar’ constitution

Fact : Constitution draft is a team work of seven members including ambedkar all of them are legal scholars. Not by ambedkar alone.

Ambedkar was a freedom fighter.

Fact : Ambedkar was a great civil rights activist who struggled for dalit rights. Other freedom fighters were struggling for Independence to all indians encompassing all religions & castes. While other freedom fighters were fighting for independence , suffering police torture in jails , ambedkar was working as a minister in british viceroy's privy council.

Rights are given by ambedkar.

Fact : every human being automatically has human rights by virtue of his birth. Our constitution has reaffirmed those human rights by the name of fundamental rights.

Only dalits have rights and must be protected.

Fact : all indian citizens have equal rights and all must be protected.

Reservation benefit is only for dalits.

Fact : Any indian citizen who is struggling to get educated , employed due financial status , social status must get government support. Reservation benefit is given from tax payer's money - dalit tax payer , vokkaliga tax payer , muslim tax payer , christian , lingayath , brahmin , other tax payers. One enjoys reservation benefit from other caste tax payer's money but hate the same caste people. It is wrong.

Only atrocities against dalits are crimes.

Fact : police , government take suo motto action at lightning speed when dalit atrocities, atrocities against muslims are reported. No action when other hindu people suffer atrocities at the hands of muslims and dalits. See social media how dalits and muslims scold hindus , brahmins. No action by police & government against such guilty dalits & muslims. It is failure of duties by police & government. It is a shame and proves the culture of such criminals.

Reservation is perfect solution for correcting social inequality.

Fact : it is a crime , it is violation of human rights of equality , equitable justice , equal opportunity. Caste identities of all indians must be eradicated from government transactions , societal transactions. Society must evolve , mature. However beneficiaries are addicted to Reservation benefits such that even after conversion to other religions , they hang on to their old caste identities. Present reservation policy is creating caste divisions , caste conflicts , violence in india.

All dalit atrocities are by brahmins.

Fact: more than 95% of dalit atrocities are committed by non brahmins as per government crime records. In turn dalit groups are also involved in atrocities , violence against other caste people.

Reservation paves the way for social justice , equitable fair society.

Fact : it has failed. Since Independence reservation is in force for 77 years. From group D to Group A posts are filled as per reservation policy. See corruption in police stations , government hospitals , RTO offices , sub registrar offices , officials selected on the basis of social justice don't respect social justice don't provide justice to public , don't do their duties properly. In the matter of corruption officials belonging all castes and religions are hand in gloves with each other. Only honest few are left in government service. See India's ranking in corruption index. It is worse.

Since 3000 years brahmins solely persecuted dalits.

Fact : since 3000 years till date population of brahmins is less than 5% of total population. Remaining 95% of population, non brahmins were land owners , rich , physically strong , they were village chieftains , temple management heads , kings , military chieftains - they were running society , kingdoms , temples as per their own rules in all aspects. Do such 95% strong people bow their heads before weak 5% brahmins ? In fact brahmins took orders from kings , village chieftains , temple management heads and carried out the instructions of those kings , village heads. Now brahmins are made scape goats for crimes committed by others.

Partly brahmins are also guilty , as they were accomplices of perpetrators , master minds of atrocities. Society is flagging accomplice leaving aside master minds , main accused. Hatred for Brahmins was started by Christian missionaries and carried forward today for political gains.

All forward caste people , brahmins are rich and doesn't need government support.

Fact : there are many poor people in forward castes including brahmins, who cannot afford a single meal a day , cannot afford their children's education, cannot afford medical treatment in hospitals. Many brahmins are working as sweepers in sulabh shouchalayas , public toilets. Whereas in reserved community families one or two members are in government service earning more than a lakh rupees per month , still they enjoy government support.

All reserved communities , dalits are innocents and suffer violence , torture.

Fact : dalits themselves mete out atrocities on other sub castes of dalits. Right hand dalits treat left hand dalits , sweepers as inferiors. They don't make matrimonial relationships with them. They cannot live as their neighbours. There are separate colonies for left hand dalits and right hand dalits. Few years back dalit leader mantelingaiah was sentenced to jail for murdering an old dalit woman. Dalit atrocities against dalits see following video :

Dalits are innocents and suffer alround aatrocities.

Fact : more than 50 % of dalit atrocity cases are fake and accordingly disposed off by courts of law.

Note : there are good , honest people as well as bad people , criminals in all castes and communities. There are rich as well as poor people in all castes and communities. You cannot generalise. We must respect all and government must support poor from all castes & communities.

Persecution of Brahmins in India is similar to Persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany.

We truly need INDEPENDENCE from our caste identities , we need independence from identification of an individual by caste , religion. We as a society need change of mindset.

We Common people have not got INDEPENDENCE. It is a shame even after 77 years of independence from britishers , we are still following repressive colonial era rules. Many colonial era rules were copied into Constitution of India. Flawed Reservation policy is also a copied version of colonial era law. Britishers practiced APARTHEID by the name of reservation.

Till date ACCOUNTABILITY OF POLICE , MINISTERS AND JUDGES is absent in rule book.

Many Indians have misunderstood indian history by looking through prism of British historians. As per those historians for all evils which happened upto British rule brahmins were solely responsible. How is it possible for 5% population to rule over 95% strong populace ? Does that mean rulers, kings , village heads who belonged to others castes were weak & meek ? No those rulers were mighty , their kingdoms were wealthy. They have enforced many welfare measures. But nobody credits good deeds of these rulers to brahmins , only gives credits of bad deeds of rulers to brahmins. Double standards.

Brahmins were made as scape goats for all the crimes , misdeeds committed by non brahmin rulers against dalits , others. True brahmins were accomplices in the crime , but the main criminals were non brahmin rulers.

In these 77 years of independent india 95% of government service posts and 95% of MPs , MLAs are non brahmins. Ideally GOLDEN AGE should have descended in India but opposite has happened. Corruption is everywhere in government hospitals , offices , police stations , illegal detentions , 3rd degree tortures in police stations is wide spread. Murders of journalists , RTI activists , false fix ups in cases is rampant. Is this INDEPENDENCE ?

Caste hatred murders are frequent , tribals are illegally evicted from forests for industrial projects without appropriate rehabilitation. Atrocities on dalits are frequent. Just take examples a dalit lady district magistrate was threatened by accomplice of a state chief minister. Dalit girls were raped by a religious pontiff. Drinking water tank in a dalit locality was mixed with human excreta and all dalits in the locality were made to drink that water for weeks. A dalit judge was dismissed from service for upholding tribal rights. A high court judge made threats to a dalit munsiff judge. There is more. Perpetrators in all these cases are non brahmins.

Dalit organizations and brahmin haters who frequently abuse brahmins , where are your voices against these atrocities ? Dalits , non brahmins make slur , casteist remarks against brahmins but no action is taken. When a brahmin does the mistake of casteist remarks police action , protest March is taken at lightning speed. Take recent case of kannada movie star Upendra. Why this double standard ? Shameful.

Casteist remarks made by dalit is wrong , if made by brahmin it is also wrong , if made by non dalit / non brahmin that too is wrong. However there should not be double standards.

Brahmins are suppressed by apartheid policy called reservation. College admissions denied , scholarships denied , jobs denied , self employment loans denied. Food , livelihood snatched away in the name of land reforms act , Temple priest jobs snatched and those still serving priests are not paid equal wages , statutory minimum wages. In 1948 thousands of brahmins were murdered , massacred. Is this true independence we struggled for ?

SHAME.

Whenever a non brahmin makes derogatory comments against brahmins , massacre of brahmins no action is taken. If a brahmin is accused of making derogatory remark law swings into action at lightning speed , protests March taken.

Is this equitable fair justice ?

Basically we are all human beings and must respect each other. Nobody is superior or inferior. All are Equals.

We respect every human being as a human irrespective of his caste or religious background. But this respect must be reciprocated by all.

Hereby we demand government of india and supreme court of india :

To legally prosecute public , MPs , MLAs who make derogatory remarks against Brahmin community.

To provide government support to poor brahmins on par with poor dalits in education, self employment , government service.

To make public the details about Massacre of Brahmins in Maharashtra & other states in 1948 and afterwards.

To make public action taken against the perpetrators of massacre.

To declare late Tamil politician Periyar as insane and remove all his casteist remarks , rantings from public domain , government records.

Let us truly build our motherland BHARATH as per following spirit :

Where the mind is without fear

and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up

into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms toward perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way

into the dreary desert sand of dead habit

Where the mind is led forward by Thee

into ever-widening thought and action

Into that heaven of freedom,

my Father, let my country awake.

Jai Hind. Vande Mataram.

India's Failed Independence

https://e-dalit.blogspot.com/2023/08/indias-failed-independence.html?m=1

Failed Constitution

Editorial : Failed Constitution of India

Out of the 763 Sitting MPs in Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha, a staggering 306 (40%) have declared criminal cases against themselves such as charges of murder and crimes against women, as per the latest ADR report.

More than half of Karnataka’s newly elected legislators have declared criminal cases against themselves, according to non-profits Karnataka Election Watch and Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR).

This year, 58% of the Congress’ winners, 52% of the BJP’s and 19% from the JDS have a criminal background. In the serious crimes category, 40 candidates from the Congress, 23 from the BJP and seven from the JDS are facing charges. One winning candidate is facing murder charges, seven have declared cases related to crimes against women, and one is facing rape charges.

Please read the Vohra Committee Report on criminal nexus of corrupt politicians , ministers , bureaucrats, police and Criminals running parallel government in India. Action taken , nil.

Read Karnataka Lokayukta Honourable Justice Santosh Hegde's Report about mining mafia in Karnataka. Action taken , nil.

At the cusp of Independence, people aspired for independence from british foreign power , Independence from hold of rich , powers that be over poor , Independence from caste identities, caste hierarchies.

During drafting and adoption of Contitution of India itself we have failed in all counts.

Although british left our country more than 50% of laws of british era were copied into our Constitution which were in favour of rulers not subjects.

Opinion of general public was not taken , while drafting Constitution nor during ratification. Drafters thought they are super brains in the world and ratification done by members who were not directly elected by 100% indian citizens.

Even after 76 years of India's Independence caste system is prevalent in government and society. Government asks for caste of person in all it's transactions , government identifies citizens by caste. Even the oppressed class people who speak against caste identity cling on to it for the sake of government freebies even after their conversion to other religions.

Now government itself is the oppressor. It is oppressing forward caste , brahmins. Feeding a hungry person is good deed but feeding a hungry by snatching full food from the meal plate of another hungry man is a crime. Therefore Reservation policy of government is a crime and human rights violation.

Regarding accountability of public servants , MPs , MLAs , laws are in the favour of powers that be. A common man don't get justice in time or justice at all. It is not fair , level field.

There are different set of property laws , marriage laws for different castes and religions.

Muslim man going to his holy place mecca gets government support while hindu going to kashi , Christian , jews going to Israel, etc don't get government support.

Public donations made to hindu temples are taken by government. While public donations made to mosques , churches are not even touched by government paradoxically government itself gives grants to mosques , churches.

Families of muslim or dalit man murdered in clashes get lakhs of rupees government compensation while a hindu man murdered in clash gets government compensation of few thousand if he happens to be a forward caste , brahmin no compensation at all.

After 76 years of Independence , now from group D to group A posts 95% of all posts and 95 % of MP , MLAs are all filled with non brahmins as per Reservation policy. Look at corruption index of india. Corruption in RTO office , police station , sub registrar office , government hospital , etc is rampant. Ideally a just society should have descended as all these are selected as per social justice norms. But failed as social justice laws have failed to correct root cause. Since 3000 years till date 95% of ruling class - kings , MPs , MLAs , , village chieftains , temple management heads are all non brahmins. They made rules , enforced it as per their will & wish. Look at statistics of dalit atrocities post Independence 95% of dalit atrocities are committed by non brahmins. Government is consistently overlooking real Perpetrators and In line with british era christian missionaries brahmins are made as scape goats for all dalit atrocities and government has formulated laws to persecute brahmins alone. That is the reason dalit atrocities are continuing till date and will continue for thousands of years as per existing laws.

If a brahmin makes a casteist remark against a dalit or non brahmin it is a big crime and he is prosecuted. However when a dalit or non brahmin makes casteist remark against a brahmin , assaults a brahmin , murders a brahmin it is not a crime , not an issue at all for government.

When a common man is accused of a murder he is easily legally prosecuted. However when a police officer makes a cold blooded murder of a suspect in lock up by third degree torture , procedures for legal prosecution of police officer are tough as they are in favour of police themselves.

When an office attender or clerk in a government office is accused of corruption he is easily prosecuted. While a minister , MP , MLA , Judge is accused of corruption it is hard to legally prosecute him as laws are in minister , Judge , MP , MLA's favour.

Equality ,Equal Opportunity , Equitable Justice , Fundamental rights, Preamble of Constitution of India are all only in letters NOT in spirit or practice. Constitutional drafters themselves devised laws to circumvent them. Present day rulers are also doing the same.

We Indians respect salute the preamble of Constitution of India but not the unjust laws creeped into Constitution.

We demand government to safeguard fundamental rights of all indians not few favoured castes , communities alone.

Now all government records are aadhar linked , property , vehicles , salary , bank accounts are linked. Government can conduct real time caste census and get real time data of all people , arrive at decisions who are actually forward castes and who are backward , who are rich and who are not. Based on this government can bring out laws to uplift needy.

We demand government to enable all indians to perform their Fundamental Duties without any hindrance.

The noble objectives stated in our Constitution preamble , fundamental rights are good but demand amendments to many unjust laws in our statute book.

Jai Hind. Vande Mataram.

Dictatorship Vs Democracy

At the outset , we express our whole hearted respects to all constitutional institutions & to the honest few in public service. Contempt of constitutional institutions , citizens of India is being made by the corrupt persons in constitutional positions themselves. This is an appeal to the honest few in public service , constitutional positions , to bring their corrupt colleagues to book.

1. does the action of MPs , MLAs taking money / receiving favors from vested interests , to formulate policy decisions , to raise questions in parliament / legislative bodies or to abstain from voting legal ?

2. why transparent , fair investigation is not done in such cases ?

3. just remember , the vulgar acts of Mr.Bora Babu Singh in state legislature & how some MLAs vulgarly behaved with Ms.Jayalalita in state legislature , years ago. Are these type of vulgar actions by MPs & MLAs legal ? does not these constitute contempt of the house by MPs & MLAs themselves ?

4. all the people’s representatives from panchayath member to president of India must read ABCD Of Democracy provide along with.since independence of India till date , MPs & MLAs are forcing projects on people against the wishes of people , formulating policies against the wishes of people. Are not such projects , government policies & Laws , undemocratic & illegal ?

5. is the election commission of India verifying the authenticity of affidavits submitted by electoral candidates ?

6. how many candidates have been caught so far for giving false affidavits ? are all the violators prosecuted?

7. are the MPs , MLAs submitting their wealth details on affidavits yearly to vigilance authorities ? defaulters , violators how many ?

8. what legal action taken against violators , defaulters , for giving false affidavits ?

9. who is checking the authenticity of those affidavits submitted by MPs , MLAs ?

10. the agricultural incomes of some MPs , MLAs , their kih & kin raises even during the time of severe drought , floods , fall in prices of agricultural products , their companies register increase in turnover / profits even during recession , the trusts / NGOs set up by them receive huge donations. Are all these income legal ?

Editorial : A B C D of Democracy – A Lesson for all people’s representatives

HOW MPs ,MLAs , Ministers - PEOPLE’S REPRESENTATIVES MUST FUNCTION

People are the kings , self rulers in a democracy . Peoples representatives must just represent the wishes , aspirations of people. Example : PEOPLE are nothing but land owners , MPs , MLAs , people’s representatives are just GPA Holders. The Electorate – Citizens of India are SUPREME than Parliament , Ministers and all Other Institutions. When people in Jaitapur , Maharashtra state of India and People of Koodankulam , Tamilnadu are totally against a nuke plant in their area and they don’t want it , still the authorities are forcing this project over their head. Now farmers are convinced new farm laws are detrimental to their survival, still government is forcing it on them, why ? Industrial workers are sure new labor laws will be death knell for their survival , still government is forcing it on them. Why ? To benefit whom ? These type of dictatorial acts of governments ( irrespective of political parties in power ) since independence is ruining representative democratic governance in india.

Since 77 years of independence , In India the learned IAS babus & Netas are forcing their agendas , SEZs , Projects over the people for their own selfish gains , against the wishes of people. This is not DEMOCRACY.

In india, indirect democracy is the form of governance. In this form, people's representatives are bound to raise the questions , issues concerning their constituents on their behalf , on the floor of the house. However the sad part in india even after 76 years of democracy , is the lobbying is at it's peak. The lobbying is a gentleman's white collared crook's way of forming favour seeker's group , creating a corpus to pay lumpsum bribe & influencing decision making.

The people's representatives are bound to represent their people first , then their party & party think tanks. India has come to this sorry state of affairs , widespread corruption , huge black economy & rampant poverty, all due to inefficient legislations & enforcements.

These think tanks & IAS lobby, consider themselves as most super brains on earth & gives out suggestions . the present state of affairs is a barometer of their brilliance. Take just one case for the brilliance of our cabinet ministers & IAS babus , In India nearly 50 crore people are barely surviving on a single piece meal per day , hundreds of people are dying due to HUNGER & MALNUTRITION at one end at the other end thousands of tonnes of food grains are rotting away , wasted in FCI Godowns (ie the food procured by the government) , what brilliant ministers & IAS officers ? These think tanks & IAS lobby are the hand maidens of lobbyists / bribers.

Now consider the following example :

Mr.raj gandhi is a member of parliament from mandya constituency in karnataka state. He is a MBA graduate & member of ruling Indian progressive party. The multinational giant M/S GREY HOUND CORPORATION wants to enter into paper manufacturing business in india. It's sight falls on the public sector paper giant mandya national paper mills (MNPM) in mandya district of karnataka. The MNC effectively lobbies with the government. The ruling party think tank & the cabinet advisory group recommends to the government to make strategic

disinvestment in the PSU M/S MNPM. They bring out graph with full power point presentation stating that it is good for the company as well as the government. The lobbyists follows it up with media reports on the positive aspect of strategic disinvestment. A favourable impression is created in the minds of literate public. The cabinet

committee okays it.

The " strategic dis investment issue " comes before the parliament for legislation / approval. The ruling party issues a party whip to it's members to vote in favour of dis investment. However M.P mr.raj gandhi who is an MBA in his own wisdom also favours the dis investment. However ,most importantly the constituents – people in mandya parliamentary constituency through protest marches , mass post card campaigns lakhs in numbers expresses their disagreement with the dis investment & urges their MP mr.gandhi to vote against the disinvestment legislation.

On the D-day in parliament , mr. Raj gandhi as per his party whip & his own wisdom votes in favour of strategic disinvestment legislation, much against the wishes of his people , constituents & mis represents them in parliament. the democracy has failed here. in This way democracy is being derailed since 76 years in india.

In democracy, party whip , MP or MLA's own wisdom / brilliance, think tank & IAS lobby recommendations are all secondary , the constituent's of his constituency , people's wishes aspirations are of primary importance & supreme. What people need is a honest

representative, who simply delivers the people's aspirations on the floor of the house back & forth , without superimposing it with his own ideas & party ideas. For true democracy , the people's representatives must be true postmans.

Towards this end , the people must be educated about their democratic rights & responsibilities. This is an appeal to the honest few in the parliament & state legislatures to weed out their corrupt colleagues , lobbyists, to uphold the dignity of the house & to install democracy in it's true form. Jai Hind. Vande Mataram.

Your’s Sincerely,

Nagaraja.M.R.

FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS OF CITIZENS Vs PRIVILEGES OF CONSTITUTIONAL FUNCTIONARIES IN INDIA

Let the Legislators of states, members of parliament, High courts & Supreme Court Judges & other constitutional functionaries answer the following questions which are vital in a democracy.

1) What are the fundamental rights of a citizen guaranteed under the constitution (Article 21) ?

2) What are the privileges conferred on legislators & parliamentarians by the constitution of India?

a) Inside the House b) Outside the House

3) What are privileges conferred on constitutional functionaries, like

a) President of India b) Prime Minister of India

c) Chief Justice of India d) Chairman of NHRC

e) Central Vigilance Commissioners.

4) Are the privileges legal immunity conferred on above mentioned constitutional functionaries ?

a) Cover all their official actions irrespective of merit.

b) Cover both their official & personal actions.

5) Are the privileges defined & codified ?

6) Are these privileges above freedom of the press ?

7) Are the liberty & fundamental rights of the citizens guaranteed by the constitution, above the privileges of the constitutional functionaries or equal or below ?

8) Can the Indian legislatures & parliament be equated to the House of commons in England which is considered to be a superior court and court of records ?

9) Can the division of powers, namely the legislature, the executive and the Judiciary, be equated to the functioning of the House of commons and House of Lords in England ?

10) Can a citizen be said to have committed breach of privilege of the House or court and causing contempt of the house or court by raising the issues of accountability of constitutional functionaries ?

11) Can a Legislature or Parliament enact a new law, to circumvent or to nullify the Judicial orders with respect to wrongdoings by peoples representatives & executive ? does not it amount to infringement of Judicial powers & contempt of the court by the House.

12) Are the FUNDAMENTAL DUTIES of a citizen more important than constitutional duties of a constitutional functionary or equal in importance to it ?

13) Can a constitutional functionary commit crimes, anti-national activities in the name of constitutional duties, behind the legal veil of official's secret act & go unaccountable for his actions and go unpunished by his legal immunity privileges ?

14) Are the Legislators members of parliament, High court & Supreme court Judges and other constitutional functionaries not willing to codify their privileges for the reason that if codified their privileges would be curtailed and their action would be subjected to legal scrutiny. ?

15) By votes of citizens Legislators and parliamentarians get seats in the legislature and Parliament out of tax payer's money, they get their pay, perks & lead 5-Star luxurious lifestyles. Hence whether a vote of a citizen is above (More valid) or a seat of legislator or parliamentarian is above or more valid in a democracy ?

16) Judges & Constitutional functionaries are indirectly appointed by voters / tax payers. Out of tax payers money, they get their pay, perks & lead 5-star luxurious lifestyles. Hence, whether the vote of a citizen, fundamental duties of a tax payer is above (more valid) or a seat of judge / constitutional functionary is above (more

valid) in a democracy ?

17) If there is a vacuum in the Legislature or parliament, who is to fill up that vacuum till such time that the legislature or parliament acts provide a solution by performing its role by enacting proper legislation to cover the field (vacuum) ?

18) While it is an unhealthy practice for a Judge to claim to be a Judge in his own cause, is it not worse for the members of the legislature and parliament to be judges in their own cause ?

19) Are the Technicalities of the case more important to a judge or Justice to a citizen, protection of fundamental rights of citizen.?

20) Why not the constitutional functionaries initiate suo moto action with respect to numerous cases of injustices reported in Media ?

21) Why not the Judges admit various cases of Injustices affecting public, as the Public Interest Litigation" ? In some cases, the Public or the person representing them is unable to afford the high cost of the case. Why not free legal aid is given ?.

22) What is the criteria for admitting a P.I.L. & giving free legal aid ?

23) Communication - free flow of information is the lifeline of a democracy. Why the constitutional functionaries are not honouring the Right to Information of Citizens ?

Criminalisation of Politics: A Grave Threat to Democracy

By Diksha Puri

The infiltration of criminals into politics has become a growing concern, raising serious questions about the integrity of democratic processes. The criminalisation of politics, with candidates charged with heinous offences holding positions of power, has cast a shadow on governance, accountability, and the people's trust, writes Diksha Puri.

Recently, the Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR), an advocacy group focused on electoral reforms, wrote a letter to the Election Commission of India (ECI) urging the Commission to take action against political parties that have failed to disclose the criminal backgrounds of candidates they have nominated in various assembly elections conducted in recent years.

Prof. Trilochan Sastry, Founder and Trustee of Association for Democratic Reforms (ADR) speaks on criminalisation of politics

Based on the Supreme Court’s directives on September 25, 2018, and February 13, 2020, political parties have been instructed to disclose the criminal histories of candidates contesting elections. They are also required to provide reasons for nominating these candidates, regardless of their perceived chances of winning. The ECI has further issued a directive to ensure the implementation of the court’s orders regarding the declaration of candidates’ criminal backgrounds. However, despite multiple reminders, several political parties in India persistently neglect to fulfil these obligations of public disclosure.

“Electoral reforms have been at the forefront of ADR’s commitment. We have been doing many surveys on criminal politicians, and we ensure that this information is readily available to the public. The time has come for the Election Commission of India to take decisive action against political parties that willfully defy the directives of both the Supreme Court and the ECI. Individuals engaged in criminal activities are ill-suited for governance as their focus remains fixated on their unlawful pursuits. Consequently, corruption thrives, public services deteriorate, roads suffer, government schools falter, and public healthcare centres operate inefficiently. These criminals prioritise self-interest over serving the people. Hence, those genuinely dedicated to public service must be given tickets by political parties to contest in elections, but there is no political will to make this a reality,” states Prof. Trilochan Sastry, Founder and Trustee of ADR.

According to Professor Sastry, the voters need to be well-informed about the serious criminal cases linked to the candidates they are considering supporting. He suggests that if voters were provided with comprehensive details of these criminal cases right at the polling booth before they cast their votes, it could have a significant impact on the electoral outcomes. By making such information readily available, many candidates with criminal backgrounds may lose public trust and support.

Senior advocate Vikas Singh, who previously represented the Election Commission in a case pertaining to the criminalisation of politics, says there are huge complexities surrounding the matter. He emphasises that the responsibility should lie with political parties not to nominate candidates with criminal backgrounds. In an interview with The Probe, Vikas Singh, who also serves as the President of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA), notes that the political class is employing manipulative tactics in an attempt to undermine the directives of the apex court.

“The Supreme Court’s directive was clear – the criminal backgrounds of candidates given tickets by political parties should be made public on the website. However, this measure proved ineffective as criminals contested and even won elections. Recognising the need for a more robust solution, I proposed that pressure be exerted on political parties, making them accountable for their choices. It was crucial to question why they were granting tickets to criminals instead of individuals with good reputations. Unfortunately, political parties started circumventing the directive of the Supreme Court by adopting a standard defence tactic, claiming false cases were foisted against the candidates nominated by them. They started presenting these criminal candidates as social workers. In each case, they began using this generic one-liner defence without examining the merits of the case. As a result, the Supreme Court’s order was defeated,” explains Singh.

Singh questions, “Why should politicians be given special powers? Can a charge-sheeted person become an IAS officer? Can he hold any civil services posts? Then why should politicians be given this unfair privilege which goes against the very spirit of our democracy? In this case, the change can only be brought in by the Parliament. The Election Commission has been turned into a toothless body. Only political will can bring about change”.

According to a recent report published by ADR, approximately 45 per cent of the candidates from Congress, BJP, and JD(S) who participated in the recently held Karnataka elections had criminal cases registered against them. Alarmingly, nearly 30 per cent of these candidates were accused of grave offences, including rape and murder. Professor Sastry highlights that India stands out as one of the few countries where criminals are permitted to participate freely in elections and emerge as winners.

“Look, let’s take the example of the United States. If someone has a murder or rape case, they would never even be considered for a political ticket. Such individuals would be excluded from contesting elections. However, in India, that is not the case. This poses a serious threat to our democratic process. Democracy with criminals is not a healthy democracy. It is crucial to raise awareness among the people about the issue of criminalisation of politics. They need to understand that if they vote for such individuals, they are not just harming the country but also themselves. For instance, if you are a person from an economically disadvantaged background and you vote for such candidates, your children’s education will suffer because the schools won’t be properly run. Similarly, when you need medical assistance, the hospitals will not function effectively due to the massive corruption indulged in by these criminals. You will be deprived of basic amenities and services,” notes Professor Sastry.

According to Gopal Sankaranarayanan, a Senior Advocate of the Supreme Court of India, many politicians are well aware of the significant power and influence they hold as lawmakers. They recognise that their positions grant them the ability to not only block any laws that could hold them accountable but also to exert influence over government officials, ensuring that cases are not filed against them and that they remain protected.

“ADR surveys have shown a gradual rise in the numbers of individuals with criminal offences and charges framed against them. Currently, nearly 44 per cent of all Members of Parliament (MPs) and Members of Legislative Assemblies (MLAs) face serious criminal charges. This is a highly concerning situation. However, both the Supreme Court and the Election Commission find their hands tied in addressing this issue. The resolution lies in the existence of a political will, which unfortunately is challenging to come by,” asserts Sankaranarayanan.

Jagdeep S Chhokar, the Founder and Trustee of ADR, expresses his concerns about the existing laws and their suitability in addressing the issue of criminalisation in politics. He highlights the exploitation of these laws by politicians who take advantage of the loopholes. He says there is an immediate need to tackle the challenge of the intertwining of criminalisation and financial power.

“In the current political landscape, politicians and political parties often prioritise candidate selection based on their perceived “winnability.” However, this criterion solely focuses on a candidate’s ability to secure electoral victory, disregarding the means employed to achieve that victory. Unfortunately, many elections witness the use of illicit methods and unfair practices, which is a departure from the principles of genuine public service. Politics has transformed into a pursuit of power rather than a commitment to serving the public interest,” explains Chhokar.

One major concern in the realm of criminalisation of politics is the classification of political cases filed by rivals as criminal records, which raises questions about the definition and severity of a criminal record. This blurring of lines between politically motivated cases and genuine criminal offences makes it even more easier for political parties to take advantage of the loopholes in the current system.

Political scientist Dr Sandeep Shastri sheds light on the reasons behind the increasing presence of individuals with criminal records in politics. He says that the time has come to reevaluate the definition of a criminal record. “There is an element of numbness that has got into the voters in defining and deciding whom they want to vote for, and that factor does not seem to be high on the order of their priority. This broad category of criminal records includes all types of people—even those against whom political cases filed by rivals have also been classified as a criminal record. What constitutes a criminal record in terms of the seriousness of the crime? All this must be seriously looked at. Today, voters vote keeping in mind the party label and not keeping in mind the candidate label. So, most people don’t look at the profile of a candidate, but they are looking at the profile of the political party. In my view, the combination of the above factors has led to those with criminal records being voted to the legislature,” states Shastri.

Despite repeated calls for electoral reforms and transparency in the political system, the issue of criminalisation of politics continues to plague India’s democratic landscape. The rampant nomination of candidates with criminal backgrounds not only undermines the principles of democracy but also erodes public trust in the electoral process. The lack of political will and loopholes in existing laws have allowed this alarming trend to persist. The time for comprehensive electoral reforms is long overdue, and failure to address the persistent issue of criminalisation of politics poses a grave threat to the very fabric of Indian democracy.
