The Bishnupriya Manipuri leaders are silent on the exclusion of the community's name in the OBCs list of Assam.
By Rebati Mohan Sinha
I fear the SC judgment will damage the reputation of our few elite institutions like IITs and IIMs. Although I am against the quota system; but one thing, I appreciate the most the way the Govt. has shown its sincerity. I could see that our leaders in the future will be our next generation OBCs, if they are not better educated, governance will not get improved. Why then should I feel ill about it? In my view the hidden agenda of OBC quota was to put children of OBC netas, babus in to our top ranking institutions through this unfair means.
Since talent is such a scare commodity, successful nations nurture it through elite institutions, such as IITs and IIMs. At the same time they meet the demand of others through an adequate supply of institutions. This is the way they achieve excellence. The demand for quota in higher education arises from scarcity. We have a very few good colleges because here in India education is not liberalized and it comes in the concurent list of the constitution. It is under the control of netas and babus. Because of Govt. policy, less than 45 out of 250 colleges, only produce employable graduates.
An ordinary family in a village, at the most, wants a good school to impart education to lift its children out of poverty; but Govt. thinks it in other way. The roots of individual failure are laid in schools. The World Bank data shows that ours is one of the worst primary school system in the world and worse than many African countries. The HRD deptt.’s job was to go for education reform and instead let loose a caste war,which is very dangerous for the nation.
Other day, I was shocked to learn that Bishnupriya Manipuri’s name in OBC list forwarded by the Assam State Govt. was not included. Immediately I started contacting the so called our leaders; but no satisfactory answers received from them. After the SC verdict, the Bishnupriya Manipuri name should have been included; but no Sanstha had tried to find out the outcome and as a result, no Brishnupriya Manipuri student would be able to enroll his/her name in any Central Institutes, like Guwahati IIT in this academic year. One thing I would like to clear it here that only Bishnupriya Manipuri creamy layer would be able to send their children for higher education; but no poor family can, because the higher education is nowadays so costly.

they dont have the time, the are too busy with grouping and fighting for credits and fames. so how come they listen to you?
ReplyDeleteOur so called organisational heads and the self claimed think tanks of the community are much engrossed into pity village politics...they may not even aware of the latest severe developments which Sj. Rebati M Sinha has escalated.....scarcity of responsibility or accountability????
ReplyDeleteWhat I have to say? I don't have words to comment on our so called leaders.
ReplyDeleteDo they know that a piece of information against them has been uploaded?
Really it is a serious issue, but I think our village centric leaders need more awareness about the day to day affairs. Unfortunately,our leaders are not fighting for social cause in aggressive and organised manner.

Dear Rishi,
ReplyDeleteThank u,ur blog has done a great job for the community.One Mr. Bishweshwar Sarma with his fellow men, took up the matter with NationalCommission on Backward Classes by submitting a memorandum with all documentary evidences including the SC court orders.The commission Chairman has accepted the memorandum and promised to get the BM names included in the OBC list before the academic year.
