Being an above average student in government school, she got a seat in an engineering college under SC quota, and cajoled her father into taking a loan from her aunt. In addition, a person whose house her mother worked in helped. However, there were constant quarrels at home between her parents. Living in one room and with relationship between parents in night, she could hardly study. In the first year she had arrears to clear. There were other upper caste students also with arrears, but she was singled out by a non dalit woman teacher who told her "you are a dalit, how do you think you can clear. Go and do some other course". Her parents were called to college, and subsequently they told her that the loan was a waste. Under immense pressure, she quit the college, and wants to change the college as she cannot bear the humiliation. She joined some job to repay the loan. Becuase of the presence of an adolescent girls group started by an NGO she did not commit suicide. However, her problem remains unresolved. now she is wondering whether to rejoin after a year, as to get a transfer she needs to pay a bribe. She is afraid to book a a case Recommendations from the girl: - good hostels for studying for dalit girls - government housing schemes should include atleast two rooms - teachers in college to be sensitised on dalit issues. - increase proportion of dalits in colleges as teachers. - quality of government school education should be strengthened Additional Recommendations from self: - all slums and villages should have a reading room for adolescent girls separately run by government - shift from gender trianing to gender and social relations training of education instiutions - book case under sc/st atricotiy act against such teachers - reservation alone is not enough, have parents counseling, student tuition services especially for first generation learners - education loans should be available for dalits - acheivement of dalits should be monitored, and not jsut enrolment Ranjani>k.Murthy PS: Niloufer, i agree that violation of rights of anybody should be looked into. The crisis is one of lack of humaneness as pointed by Periyar. a world and country where citizens lack humanneness will never succeed in eliminating human rights violations. --- On Wed, 16/2/11, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: From: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [D.M.A.-:800] Abridged summary of [email protected] - 3 Messages in 3 Topics To: "Abridged Recipients" <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, 16 February, 2011, 3:19 PM Today's Topic Summary Group: http://groups.google.com/group/dalit-movement-association-/topics MINOR DALIT GIRL BURNT ALIVE FOR PROTESTING AGAINST HARASSMENT AND THEMURDER OF TWO YOUNG GIRLS DAUGHTER OF A KASHMIRI LABOURER BY LET MILITA NTS ATSOPORE IN KASHMIR [1 Update] [D.M.A.-:786] Serious look at - Census-2011 [1 Update] Artocity against Dalit child [1 Update] Topic: MINOR DALIT GIRL BURNT ALIVE FOR PROTESTING AGAINST HARASSMENT AND THEMURDER OF TWO YOUNG GIRLS DAUGHTER OF A KASHMIRI LABOURER BY LET MILITA NTS ATSOPORE IN KASHMIR Niloufer Bhagwat <[email protected]> Feb 15 12:25PM +0530 ^ Dear Colleagues , Crimes against Dalits are on the increase all over the country, as there is a climate of impunity for the upper classes/upper castes which police forces are not able to curb. more...
