Dr. Singh said market forces would not be able to address the needs and aspirations of the weaker sections of society. He told them that the Government had a role and obligation in providing access to education and health care and there could be no turning away from this reality. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Ours is a battle not for wealth or for power.

George Convenor Dalit Study Circle, Raipur, Chhattisgarh ________________________________________________________________________ Creation of a casteless and peaceful society is indeed the first step towards just, egalitarian, and harmonious society. A society of equals, neither unequal nor more-equals, beyond the strings of caste, class, gender, race, etc. Otherwise it would lead to social oppression, political exploitation, economic deprivation, cultural domination, gender discrimination, class isolation, deliberate exclusion. Lets believe in a society beyond this. ------------------------ Yahoo!
