Yesterday,i showed a video clip made by me,on the present state of Dalits in our country, to my friend.The facts datas and images in my clip shocked him.He was living with the prejudice that cesteism is no more practiced in India and social/economic status of Dalits has been improved to a pretty well position by Indian Government.
No wonder he is unaware of the ground reality.Afterall, who cares to enlighten people about the social and economic diversity which is still prevailing in our country?
Media?Times of India?Hindustan Times?The Hindu?Aaj tak? Star News?
None!!!They have no interest in this case.Rather they will like to focus on what Abhishek Bachhan will wear on his wedding day.
English men know much more about the social situation of our country than we Indians.Shame on you Indian Media!!!
Why the hell our mainstream media has kept its eyes closed?
Why the hell only 'feel good' news about our country are publicised?
Does government has no interest in preparing responsible citizens having courage to pay back to society?
I appreciate the spirit of our country because of which we made rapid economic growth in last 10-15 years but like you, I too dont want to forget about the problems which our country is facing.
Rich getting richer and poor getting poorer,will it anyway let our country run on the path of progress?
25% of population suffers from social seclusion and deprived of basic amenities,will our country ever be called prosperous?
what can be done?
Like you, I too want to think and talk about solution inspite of just highlighting the problem.Few solutions which I can think of are :
1.Sponsor education of a dalit child.An online way of doing this work :
www.dalitchild.com
2.Promote intercaste marriages to build a casteless society.
3.Promote affirmative action.If you are a recruiter, register your firm on:
http://www.firstequal.in/
4.Highlight the problem and let millions of mind think about the solution!Bombard the web world and ignite the minds with thought provoking articles.You are most welcome to join hands with me for building an alternative media.
