Due to all these National Congress is being held for the Government of Maharashtra in his aspects major industries and offices are first time in Nagpur. On the theme of the Congress, Dr. Nitin Raut noted that it is a fact that the urban poor can not afford to pay ever increasing price of a pucca house. The urban poor can not even think of buying land near to their work place due to high market prices. They therefore settle on marginal lands near their work places. But in these areas, there is severe lack of amenities such as potable water supplies, sanitation services and garbage management system. This makes the urban poor live in unsanitary conditions. Dr. Nitin Raut emphasized that growth of slums is the manifestation of the inability of the state Dr. Nitin Raut, Hon’ble Minister, Government of Maharashtra, lighting the Inaugural Lamp.

Hon’ble Minister also called on town and country planners to recognize the significant contribution being made by the urban poor to economic development of our cities. He thus argued that provision of services to people particularly those who are marginalized and vulnerable becomes critical. They are the ones who need social and economic empowerment.

  • The Khairlanji Murders & India's Hidden Apartheid ANAND
    ** persistence «• The Khairlanji Murders & India's Hidden Apartheid ANAND TELTUMBDE This book exposes the gangrenous heart of Indian society. ARUNDHATI ROY © Anand Teltumbde's analysis of the public, ritualistic massacre of a dalit family in 21st century India exposes the gangrenous heart of our society. It contextualizes the massacre and describes the manner in which the social, political and state machinery, the police, the mass media and the judiciary all collude to first create the climate for such bestiality, and then cover it up. This is not a book about the last days of relict feudalism, but a book about what modernity means in India. It discusses one of the most important issues in contemporary India. —ARUNDHATI ROY, author of The God of Small Things This book is finally the perfect demonstration that the caste system of India is the best tool to perpetuate divisions among the popular classes to the benefit of the rulers, thus annihilating in fact the efficiency of their struggles against exploitation and oppression. Capitalist modernization is not gradually reducing that reality but on the opposite aggravating its violence. This pattern of modernization permits segments of the peasant shudras to accede to better conditions through the over-exploitation of the dalits. The Indian Left must face this major challenge. It must have the courage to move into struggles for the complete abolition of caste system, no less. This is the prerequisite for the eventual emerging of a united front of the exploited classes, the very first condition for the coming to reality of any authentic popular democratic alternative for social progress.

  • Do Maharashtra's Neo-Buddhists Really Want – and Need – a Separate
    Do Maharashtra’s Neo-Buddhists really want – and need – a separate marriage law? As the state government appoints a committee to consider the issue, a debate rages within the community of Ambedkarite Buddhists. Image credit: Wikimedia Commons Oct 05, 2015 Scroll Aarefa Johari Once every few years, sections of Maharashtra’s Neo-Buddhist community rise up to assert their religious identity by demanding their own personal law, separate from the Hindu Marriage Act that currently governs them. Last week, the community was back in the headlines as the state government, heeding these demands, constituted a 13-member committee to consider the need for a draft legislation to govern Buddhist marriage and inheritance. The committee includes state social justice and empowerment minister Rajkumar Badole, other senior office-bearers of the social justice and legal departments, lawyers, a retired judge and some representatives of the community. A separate personal law, according to those who support the demand, would ensure that Buddhist marriage rituals are always considered valid in a court of law. In Maharashtra, they claim, there have been several cases in which the High Court or various district courts have deemed Buddhist marriages illegal under the Hindu Marriage Act. The government’s decision to form a committee, however, is facing opposition from another section of the Neo-Buddhist community. According to this group, Babasaheb Ambedkar, who led the conversion of lakhs of Dalits to Buddhism in 1956, would never have approved of personal laws on the grounds of religion. While the supporters of a separate law have been more vocal than the latter, both groups claim to be speaking for the majority of the community.
