In spite of the Supreme Court of India’s validations of RTE Act, Scheduled Castes Kids are not admitted to Private unaided schools in India.

Respected Sir,

We are not demanding anything new. We just want that old reservation policy (as per the government policy, 15% of the students admitted to schools/universities must be from Scheduled castes and for the Scheduled tribes there is a reservation of about 7.5 %.) should be continued. We would not tolerate any games played against us.

Dalits are among the poorest of citizens, generally do not own land, and often are illiterate. They face significant discrimination despite the laws that exist to protect them, and often are prohibited from using the same wells and from attending the same temples as higher caste Hindus, and from marrying persons from higher castes. In addition they face segregation in housing, in land ownership, on roads, and on buses. Cultural exploitation and atrocities on dalits remain same with exceeding incidents in different corners of the country. Dalits tend to be malnourished, lack access to health care, work in poor conditions, and face continuing and severe social ostracism.

Baba Sahib Dr. B. R. Ambedkar, the father of Indian constitution, was able to at least understand the dalit agony. Realizing the grievances of the backward classes, Dr. Ambedkar as Chairman of the Drafting Committee of the Constituent Assembly, provided adequate scope for reservation of seats for the Scheduled Castes. Reservations were introduced for the Scheduled Castes and Tribes to protect their interests. They were gives first preference to education reservation issue. Seats were reserved in educational institutions and in job opportunities. Reservation in educational institutions became essential as the Scheduled caste people.

With 65 years of hard work we brought our country on the top of the world map. But recently, we are facing the biggest tragedy and challenges of all times in our country. Some of the narrow minded people of our country are trying to destabilize our social structure, which we built with 65 years of hard work.

Anyhow India got freedom many yrs back but SC/ST poor still didn’t get full freedom in India. The government machinery has not been able to even 65 years after independence to educate its citizens, notably the SC/ST poor.

Education sector is getting privatized by dominate clever sections and hence education is expensive. Expensive education has main reason be deprived to the dalit for better education. The Dalit community cannot think of any quality higher education due to expensive. Such strategies are invented by dominate persons and implemented to keep dalits under subjugation.

While the Right to Education Act, 2009 has brought a glimmer of hope for children belonging to disadvantaged groups of society. It has certainly raised aspiration among the poor and disadvantaged people to get their children educated in English Medium Private Schools. However, such aspirations for most of them would be elusive as all the children are not to get admission in these schools. It is already resulting in growing unrest among them.

In view of present situation of India has seems that corrupt Bureaucrats has the greatest barrier in the way of implementation of RTE Act. Education is very important for Scheduled Caste & Scheduled Tribes (Dalits). The present education system, cleverly designed to exploit them in one way or the other. As you well aware this true fact that SC/ST representation in education fields is negligible in India. We hope that you are very well familiar about the reasons for this situation.

History is evident that the merit of candidates belonging to SC/ST category is ignored by the selection committee when they apply their wards under EWS category for school admission & admit only EWS upper caste people’s wards to Private unaided schools. The government seems to be deceiving its people in the context of reservation in education sector. On one hand, it is supporting the reservation policy and on the other hand, depriving dalits of admission through the EWS reservation quota. The quota appears to be filled only in papers and not in reality. They are not serious to provide good education and facilities to SC/ST students. Swami Aatma Ram Lakshay said – “It is a great sin to sit by idly when you’ve lost your rights". Concerted mass action is required.

The Directorate of Education was not proper implement the admission process in the recognized unaided private public schools and has been deprived only poor SC/ST students to take advantage of RTE Act or good quality education. When SC/STs apply their wards for school admission, the host institute discards them by saying that you are not fit for the admission by marking “No suitable candidate was found” on advertisement file. You will be shocked to note that Scheduled Castes intake of students is Few. Dominant castes people are want to abolish or eliminate SC/ST reservation. They never wanted these SC/ST people to become educated. This is happening under the nose of the Government. Because Government’s office which is right there in Delhi. There is no dearth of Laws. It requires only political & Bureaucrats strong will should to implement them rigidly without fear or favour.

In spite of the Supreme Court of India’s validations of RTE Act, Scheduled Castes Kids are not admitted to Private unaided schools in India. Now scenario is that poor people those belong to Scheduled Castes are not taking benefit of this EWS reservation. But by this new exist system only general category/upper castes candidates’ benefit. The argument of the anti-reservationists have been that there are no candidates and the available candidates are not suitable. Reservation policy is one of the best mockeries in our democratic system. Political parties & Bureaucrats are using this reservation issue for their benefit. They are not serious to provide good education and facilities to students.

You are our Prime Minister and you are our only hope and we need your sincere support, we all trust you; we believe on you, please tell us, where we will go to ask for justice?? Whole Dalits community is now very much helpless.

We have appealed & demanding to the Prime Minister of India to proper implementation of the exits reservation provision (as per the government policy, 15% of the students admitted to schools/universities must be from Scheduled castes and for the Scheduled tribes there is a reservation of about 7.5 %.) in the constitution for the advancement of socially and educationally backward classes of citizens or for SCs/STs.
