Republic of India - DALITS

India just completed its republic day celebrations. 1oo core India's population Dalits have major role in India's development as a agriculture labor and other unorganized sector. In organized sector like in business the did n't have any major role to participate. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar created reservation to Dalits in Education as well as Govt. Employement, and politics. Most of the educated Dalits settled in Govt. jobs only.Business was not a part of their goals,” says Ambedkar. “Their first job was to get themselves educated. The first opportunity they got was government jobs, because government jobs offered them financial viability and financial stability.”

Whereas in business class we don't have any recognized industry owned by Dalits. There is just one Dalit-backed company among the 4,700 listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange: the Visaka Industries. Its founder, G Vivekanand MP, is the son of G Venkat Swamy cwc member, who was India’s textile minister when the company was launched in 1983.

Govt of India has been funding to uplift the Dalit community every budjet alloction but they did n't created a Dalit business community. In NDA govt the BJP used Ambedkar jayanti to push the idea of Dalit entrepreneurship.

But all three of them, like 27 of the 39 Indians on the Forbes rich list, come from India’s traditional merchant communities. India’s untouchables, the “scheduled castes and tribes” who make up the bottom quarter of India’s 1.2 billion population, are absent. We don't have business icon. Dr.Babasaheb Ambedkar, was the Dalit leader who did most to free his caste from the discrimination of untouchables – which made them ritually unclean to “higher” Hindus. He wrote the Indian constitution in 1949, outlawing caste discrimination.That Dalits are still completely absent from the list of India’s rich 60 years later is, Ambedkar argues, one of the darkest blemishes on the country’s recent economic progress.

The Confederation of Indian Industry’s (CII) Affirmative Action Code of Conduct is also an attempt to address the issue. However, the CII and Indian companies we have seen that the codes have tended to be ‘social’ rather than ‘economic’ development programmes.There are 2 lakhs dealers for HLL in India most of them hails from indias traditional merchant family. Why don't they give atleast one Dalit.Mr. Chandrabanu prasad says "assuming a HLL dealer get a 1% commission, he can earn a minimum of over Rs 60 lakh a year. A Dalit can take up this dealership, taking less commission than others. Don't replace existing dealers, but when new dealerships are given out, reserve some for Dalits." Most of the Dalits have small business, small gaurages I'm requesting here Govt and industry take consious steps to become Dalit merchant community. Yes we do not have social network we have to create & effort to bring in to supply chain.

In Andrapradesh Dr. YS Rajasekhar Reddy try to up lift the Dalits become the entrepreneuers unfortunatly we lost him in Air crash.

We the Dalit have to think twice here to change our social network, to change our social status.
