Subject: Views without fear or favour

 

 

Dear Mr. Sekar,

I am Govardhan working in BSNL and staying in Sahibabad, Rajinder Nagar.

My views are as follows:

1. Get to gether is a personal matter and joining or not joining is purely

personal.

2. What is the guarantee that the new organisation will also NOT go the same

way like old organisation? What is the aim of new org like this lot of

questions are there.  Instead we can revive the old orgn. and maintain

harmony among our community .

3. If the mgt. com mittee of OLD orgn. does not function properly, what is

the rule position under Societies Act?  what are the rights of the life

members? please enlighten and educate me and also all the members.

Thank you.

Govardhan, 9868258501; 0120-2901009



















Dear Sourastrians,

Here you go with my views, 
Some members suggesting to organize GET TOGETHER 2-4 times in a year without shadow of Association
Get-2-gather is something purely personal nature and which can be organized by anyone so long as he/she is able to gather interested parties. No further comment.
Some members suggesting to float a new Platform to bring all sourashtrians togethe

Being small community consisting of not exceeding 100 families in NCR, would not recommend to float new platform and hence, I am not supportive of this.
Some members suggesting to change Managing Committee of the Delhi Sourashtra Association by all means.
As I noticed during last two meeting, there are some of the basic things which are mandatory in nature for convening General body meeting, completely missing & there were no proper response given by management committee as well.
In the light of lack of knowledge in holding meeting or conducting affairs of association, I would strongly recommend to revamp the working of the association by way of reconstituting the management committee and also make necessary amendments in the bye-laws keeping in view interest of all members and association.

Regards, Bhaskar

Dear Kishoreji,
 As you are aware the Sourashtra Association had set up with the noble and laudable objective of promoting in the NCR the rich and invaluable cultural heritage and other traditions of the Sourashtra Community, particularly to the younger generation. Unless this noble objective is achieved this rich and cultural traditions of the community will disappear within short span of time.
In this task our Association has the leading role. Rightly or wrongly the association activities have slackened during the last four years. No meetings of the general body or periodical elections have been held, even cultural and other activities have also been very few.
This is not the time to complain and blame. The procedural lapses that have taken place must be set right by the existing set up immediately by calling meetings of the general body and holding elections to the Executive committee. I am of the view that we should explain to the member that this not the time to blame and criticize. We should explain to the members that this is not the right time to raise procedural and administrative delays.
What is required is to forget the past and strengthen the existing association. For this the existing Management of the association must set right the procedural shortcomings and call meetings of E.C. /G.B. to conduct elections and chalk out a new action plan covering all aspects of the welfare and advancement of the Sourashtra Community in the NCR. This is particularly necessary in the interest of the younger generation.
For this the following actions need to be taken by you,
·         Hold Regular meetings of the E.C. to allot budget for the meetings.
·         Call meeting of the general body after giving prescribed notice to complete requirements like holding elections.
·         Start organizing function at least twice in a year to promote interaction between members of our community in social cultural and religious areas.
 I am taking the liberty of sending a copy of this to all the members of the Sourashtra community requesting them to forget past and join hands to Rejuvenate and Re –Energize our association.
On my part I am willing to give my time and support to organize any programs by the association in the NCR.
I am sure you will appreciate my stand and initiate action on the lines suggested above.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
T.R. Bhaskaran

 INAUGURAL CEREMONY OF
SOURASHTRA MINORITIES FIRST DELEGATE CONFERENCE
TO BE ORGANISED BY SRI PRASANNA VENKATESWARA EVENTS TRUST, CHENNAI
RESOLUTIONS TO BE ADOPTED AT THE CONFERENCE
Place: New Delhi Date: 16-09-2008
1. Granting of Most Backward Status to the Sourashtra Community in Tamil Nadu:
Sourashtra Community is the linguistic minority living in various parts of the country. Weaving is their main activity and they are economically most backward. Their population is roughly 15 lakh. Out of them around 12 lakh people are living in various parts of Tamil Nadu. Though Backward Status is given to them, they are not adequately sound in education, employment and various other fields.
Hence, we urge upon the Government that the Sourashtra Community in Tamil Nadu should be granted with Most Backward Status.
2. Enhancement of Time Slot for Broadcast/Telecast of Saurashtra language programmes through All India Radio and Doordarshan Kendras in Tamil Nadu and adequate chance to Sourashtra Artists/Talents:
Sourashtra Community people are having adequate knowledge and rich in art and culture both in Sourashtra and Tamil languages. But they are not provided with adequate chance to show and express their talents. Therefore, we urge upon the Union Government to 2
enhance the time slot for broadcast/telecast of Sourashtra language programmes through AIR and DD Kendras in Tamil Nadu and the artists may also be given more chances to express their talents in their mother tongue.
3. Adequate number of people’s representatives i.e. Mayors, MLAs, MPs (both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha) to be given from Sourashtra Community:
Sourahstra Community people are largely concentrated in Madurai, Paramakudi, Dindigul, Tiruchi, Thanjavur and Kumbakonam areas. But they are not properly represented as mayors, MLAs or members in the Houses of Parliament. The community feels very much deprived and they are not able to vindicate their grievances to the Administration due to lack of representation in Government.
We urge upon the Government that adequate representation should be given in various local bodies, legislative bodies and Houses of Parliament.
4. Release of Commemorate Postage and First Day Cover in honour Late L.K. Thulasiram:
Late L.K. Thulasiram is the pioneer, role model and founder of Mid Day Meal Scheme in the country. While observing the poor student turnout in schools in the country, in 1906, he has started this scheme in some schools at Madurai. With the result, large numbers of students are enrolled in the schools. 3
Later, after knowing about this scheme Shri K. Kamaraj, former Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu visited and impressed on it. He has launched the scheme throughout Tamilnadu and later it was expanded by late MGR and now the Union Government has implemented it throughout the country.
To honour, Late L.K. Thulasiram, we urge upon the Government to release a Commemorative Postage Stamp and First Day Cover.
5. Conferring of highest Civilian Award to Dr. T.M. Soundarajan:
Dr. T.M. Soundarajan who hails from Sourashtra Community was associated with the Tamil Film Industry for more than four decades. He is great versatile. He wrote and sung thousands of songs. His contribution to film industry is immense. Government India has awarded him with Padma Shri. However, that is not sufficient in recognition of his services.
Hence, we urge upon the Government that he should be conferred with highest civilian awards.
6. Release of Commemorate Postage and First Day Cover in honour Late Ayyampettai Venkatramana Bagavathar:
Ayyampettai Venkatramana Bagavathar is the disciple of Saint Thiagaraja of Thiruvaiyaru. He was closely associated with Saint Thiagraja in composing the krithanas on Lord Rama. He was also instrumental in writing and preserving the manuscripts, Thiagaraja Kirthanas and those are preserved even today. 4
Hence we urge upon the Government to honour the service rendered by Ayyampettai Venkatramana Bagavathar in the field of music, a Commemorate Postage Stamp and First Day Cover should be released.
7. Allotment of land to Sourashtra Association, Delhi:
The Sourashtra Association in Delhi is helping the poor students by providing books, summer and winter uniforms, shoes, etc. It also helps the poor and downtrodden people in times of need. They also promote the upliftment of art and culture. Since long, the Association is fighting for getting a piece of land in Delhi for promoting social and cultural activities.
At present, in principle, the Government has agreed for allotment of land to Sourashtra Association at Janakpuri, New Delhi.
We urge upon the Government that this matter may be expedited and ‘Land Allotment Letter’ may be issued at the earliest.
8. Waiver of weaver’s loan and special package to weavers:
Due to appreciation of rupee in the last few years, the handloom and weaving industry were very much affected and the weavers were fell on debt trap. Though the Government has provided adequate package to farmers, the weavers were neglected.
Hence, we urge upon the Government to consider a package to waive overdue interest and loans of handloom weavers outstanding 5
so far, and the bailout, of course, will be very meagre in comparison with farmers’ loan waiving package.
9. To provide adequate representation for Sourashtra Community people in Central Government Bodies, Committees, etc.
Sourashtra Community people are eminent in various fields but they not adequate represented in various Central/State Government Bodies/Committees. With the result, they feel deprived of their basic rights.
Hence, we urge upon the Government to provide adequate represention to Sourashtra Community people in the Central/State Government Bodies, Committees, etc.
10. The Sourashtra Community persons like Ex. MPs, Dt. Judges, Leading Advocates may be appointed as Standing Members of Central & State Minority Commission.
11. To consider the people of experienced Sourashtra Advocates at Chennai, Madurai High Courts for permanent judge in the Minority Quota as per Government policy. So far, no person is appointed.
12. Political:-
The Sourashtra minorities require a nominated post as MP from Rajya Sabha.
13. Education:-
To enable higher education, Sourashtra Minority may be allowed a separate quota as religious minorities.
14. Loans and concessions for winkers of Sourashtra people for handicraft, silk weaving as equal to Bunkers. 6

Our community students are able to competate for 17,940/- in OBC quota as per merit and chances are there to get any no. of seats between 0 to 17940/- as per merit.

As per our demand, if govt.given  SUB-QUOTA IN BC QUOTA then calculation like this:

As per this reservation policy, our student to competate only for 338 seats. We can’t competate remaining seats of 17,582(17940-358 = 17,582).
Suppose, our community 500 students qualified as per cut off  % marks we can only get 338 seats and losing 162 seats (500-338=162).
As per existing reservation policy we can get 500 seats as per cut off % marks.

As per our demand, if govt.given  SUB-QUOTA IN MBC QUOTA then calculation like this:

As per this reservation policy, our student to competate only for 240 seats. We can’t competate remaining seats of  11,720 (11960-240)
Suppose, our community 500 students qualified as per cut off  % marks we can only get 240 seats and losing 260 seats (500-240=260).
As per existing reservation policy we can get 500 seats as per cut off % marks.

If we get 2% on overall seats (2% of 59800 = 1196 seats) then it is beneficial to our community. But this is not possible becasue provision of separate reservation would be struck down by the court.


  1. One more arugment given by Jutty Ad Page Mr.Eshwarlal, Mr.S.R.Radha  and others  that Muslims and Chrisians got 3.5% special quota.
        
            Yes , I agree – but what happened after that – Christians surrendered the quota:


Chennai: Fulfilling a long-standing demand of the minority communities in Tamil Nadu, Chief Minister M Karunanidhi announced on 13 September 2007 that the Muslims and Christians belonging to backward communities would get 3.5 per cent reservation each in educational institutions and government employment.
An ordinance to give effect to the reservation proposal would be promulgated on 15 September 2007, the 99th birthday of former Chief Minister CN Annadurai. Although the State Government described the allocation as ‘separate’ reservation, in reality, the Muslims and Christians would be given the reservation as a ‘sub-quota’ within the 30 per cent already reserved for the Backward Classes. Obviously, the Government opted for this decision keeping in mind the fact that provision of separate reservation would be struck down by the court.
“Muslims and Christians are already in the Backward Classes list and so far they are competing with the other communities for reservation in educational institutions and employment opportunities. Now, both communities have specific reservation”, a senior official clarified.
The Government's decision followed the recommendation of the Commission headed by Justice MS Janarthanam which went into the possibilities of providing separate reservation for Muslims and Christians.
The Commission studied the report of the Second Backward Classes Commission headed by JA Ambasankar which had detailed information about the population of the backward class Hindu communities as well as that of Muslims and Christians, an official release here said.

Tamil Nadu restores backward caste quota for Christians

October 15th, 2008

Following representations from community leaders, the Tamil Nadu government Monday withdrew the 3.5 percent special reservation for Christian in educational institutions and restored the quota for them in the backward castes category. -
IANS reports Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi acceded to the request of a team of
Christian leaders led by Chennai Archbishop Rev. Chinnappa after they
explained the handicaps posed by the special quota as it deprived them
of seats under the the backward castes category, a government press
release said.
The Times of India reportsThe Christian delegation, including Archbishop of Madras-Mylapore Rev A M Chinnappa, Bishop of Kottar-Nagercoil Rev Peter Remigius,and other Catholic and Protestant bishops, state minorities commission chairman Fr Vincent Chinnadurai and Congress whip Peter Alphonse, submitted a petition appealing for withdrawing the quota.
“You made history by introducing exclusive sub-quotas for Christians and Muslims and we were thankfulforit.However,when
the law came into force, we found that the
Christian community got fewer
opportunities in admission and employment than before.
There is a widespread
feeling that the exclusive quota is detrimental to the Christian people, not
only in southern districts of Tamil Nadu, where there is a sizeable Christian
population, but in the whole state,” they said.
But Muslims community not yet surrendered because community divided into several groups and not able to come to the understanding between groups. But some groups wants to surrender the reservation immediately but they don’t have authority to do so.
During the meeting I am the only person opposed this resolution in public( some people agreed my view but  they are not ready to say openly) and expressed my views on stage in front of the above guests.
Finally, Ex-Minister Mr.S.R.Radha tried to convenience me and read the resolution .
( I have one more confusion :
a)      Are the read the resolution already passed and seeking the endorsement
b)      Are the introduced the resolution for debate
c)      Are the they declared that the resolution passed)

I don’t know what happened after that.
My view beyond facts & figures
Caste system is not an indispensable part of the Hindu religion and Manusmriti and other scriptures emphasise that the “Indian caste system was originally non-heriditary. One can find the prevanence of the caste system more in Hinduism than any other religion. Castes are the divisions in which certain section of the community belongs, which also enjoys social status accordingly. What we mean by social status is the prestige or the honor that is being attached to one’s position in the society. Caste and social status were inter related. A higher caste individual was always looked with awe and reverence though the person be economically unstable
Dr.Ambedkar introducted the reservation system to bring them in the mainstream of the society and to get equal opportunity and attain highest social status.
Those who are listed in BC/OBC/MBC/SC/ST according to their profession irrespective of their language and religion.
Sourashtrians are belongs to Hindu Religion .  Sourashtra is not caste it is language. Their main profession is Weaving and related jobs. Weaving is profession and weavers speaks different languages in different parts of the world. In India Weaving treated as honourable profession and not treated as “Suthiran” profession. Weavers are fulfilling basic need of the human being via.FOOD,CLOTH AND SHELTER.
But, in Tamil Nadu just because of Minority people speaking  the Sourashtra language and on their demand the Princy State/British Rulers given lingustic minority community status and brought them under Backward Class list . They have given this status to  get equal opportunity with other community people.
Sourashtrians already living with prestige and honour in the society, Every community, whether forward or backward  have economically weaker people and not exceptional to Sourashtra community.
We are doing unjustice to the future generation. Why we are pushing our community backward just to get nothing and to loose the existing benefit.
Tomorrow if someone in our community  feels that if we get SC/ST status we will get more benefits and start pushing further backward  in social status then all we become untouchables(sutras)

If any Sourashtrian wants more benefit from government under quota systems let them marry SC/ST community people and get the same. They don’t have any moral/ legal rights to do so. They are not authorized person to do so.

 

 

MY APPEAL TO SOURASHTRIANS


If you can’t stop them now, then it will be too late. Advice/force them to withdraw the resolution and stop them to proceed further.
There is no use to bring our community into MBC or any other catagory. Existing place is more beneficial. I request all sourashtrians please go through this message again and again and understand the problem.
  1. Please write to me and send copy to Jutty Ad Page
  2. Please send this message to all sourashtrians whatever your opinion.


NEWS PAPER & WEB SITE REPORT
Saurashtra community in Tamil Nadu demands most backward status
New Delhi

http://kona.kontera.com/javascript/lib/imgs/grey_loader.gif
 The Saurashtra community, which is a linguistic minority in Tamil Nadu, has demanded among others the most backward status and adequate representation in central government bodies.
During the first delegate conference held in the capital yesterday, Mr A G S Ram Babu, former Member of Parliament from Madurai, said some 12 lakh people belonging to the community live in Tamil Nadu. Though backward status was given to them, they were not adequately sound in education and employment sectors.
The community people were having adequate knowledge of the rich art and culture both in Saurashtra and Tamil languages. But they had not been provided adequate chances to show and express their talents. The conference has asked the government to give adequate chances to the community artistes in All India Radio and Doordarshan to express their talents. Dr T M Soundararajan, who belongs to the Saurashtra community, has been associated with the Tamil film industry for more than four decades.
The conference urged the government to release a commemorative stamp to honour Saurashtra community leader late L K Thulasidasan, a role model and founder of mid-day meal scheme in the country.
Traditionally weavers, the members of the Saurashtra community were affected due to high interest rates and the government should waive overdue interest and loans, the conference said.
Minister of State for Statistics and Programme Implementation G K Vasan, who presided over the conference, assured the delegates that he would take up their demands with the concerned authorities at the Centre and the State levels.
