Caste question Today.

Hierarchical division of society in castes is a historic phenomenon of indian social structure. Other religions for whom the caste was alien, gradually adopted the system when they came into contact with caste driven hinduised indian society. Caste division determined by birth became rigid with no scope left for upward mobility of lower castes in the society and economy to improve their socio-economic status in the society since the same was already determined.

With the invasion of capitalism , economic basis of caste structure has crumbled, however, the same process of crumbling of caste structure has posed lot of questions for future course of eradication of caste and caste discrimination in the society. Ruling capitalist class has addressed them with idea of representation and affirmative actions.

We have witnessed that the pre and post colonial discourse on caste system, which is moving around 'constitutional frame work' has given wider scope for the bourgeoisie to deviate the core issue of economic deprivation of disadvantaged castes.

We are organizing a seminar on the above mentioned topic to further advance the debate on caste annihilation. All are invited to join the seminar on 26th February 2012 at Ambedkar Bhawan , Rani Jhansi Road, Near Jhandewalan Metro Station, New Delhi. Time :- 2.00 to 8.00 P.M.

Support nation wide bandh call on 28th February 2012 by central trade union federations.

Krantikari Lok Adhikar Sangathan support the Nation wide Bandh call from central trade unions for 28th February 2012. The bandh is against the price rise, for enforcement of labor laws , protection of rights of contract workers , privatization etc.

we are of the view that these policies of government of India is anti worker and attack on worker's right , however we are of the view that the trade union federations have back tracked from their pledge to protect the worker's right. Now they are just making a fool to the worker by organizing such bandh and strike time to time. The basic logic of capitalism has never been questioned by these federation and workers who are enrolled with them have not been educated in the terms that the bourgeois political system works for capitalist class and this is historical task of the working class to overthrow the yoke of capitalism.

Socialism is only way out to get rid of these problems of the workers.

Workers of the world get united !
