HUMAN RIGHTS OF INDIGENOUS WOMEN

Their Plight in Search for Human Rights and Women's Identity .....?

All over in urban or rural India, the 80% of the indigenous populations of the country, whom we call SC, ST & OBC, let it be work sites of constructions, roads, pavements, fields of landlords, domestic households, offices, etc are very badly treated and leading inhuman lives even today. Even though Indian social sciences and technology have enormously advanced, we have developed competency to reach moon and beyond, but Indian indigenous peoples' human rights and treatments towards them are in filthy gutters. This is not due to the lack of awareness in Indian society and social thinking for making good policies , but traditionally well planed social strategy to let them remain low, impoverished in all resources so that they can diminish decades after decades in quality of life and then gradually vanish. They are oppressed and suppressed from the time of the period of Vedas, Ramayana and Mahabharata, calling them with various derogatory names such as Asuras, etc. Now, just 60 years of reservations for SC, ST and OBC mostly on papers in a very well planned strategic manner for further deprivation by not implementing properly these provisions, not going to salvage their historical social ills. It needs much better policies and longer span of time. No doubt, some provisions are there but not enough and implemented.

In such as a precarious situation the major political parties have no genuinely committed social agendas to make salvage operations on priority. Now the new policies are further being envisaged to keep them out in the fields of education and research are still worse. Possibly planned to keep the indigenous students and their growing talents low, underdeveloped and these societies traditionally deprived and under normal control. For the restoration of the traditional human rights, cultural rights, or indigenous rights the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) has an ideal vision which too is being resented by the upper castes in the country. If at all the frightened and suppressed folks of SC, ST and OBC charismatically rise to the national scene with their only Messiah and future hope in Indian politics Mayawati.

In this chaotic social situation and redundant social policies, the situation of indigenous women at home and at the work sites is growing intolerable beyond imagination. The indigenous women in the country due to lack of respect for their human rights are physically, socially, culturally, emotionally, deteriorating. Only a small % is seen in the public places maintaining standards because of their large population in the country. Physiologically they are becoming victims of many un-diagnosable diseases. If at all diagnosed in time, no remedies since the civil hospital have any drugs for them to cure. At home Indian patriarchal society too keeps them under various socially, culturally sanctioned controls. On the work sites, their life appears to be hell, submitting even to the work masters for satisfying their various undeclared needs thus even getting fatally ill. Against such an advanced society of India, can we see that the indigenous population and in this case women are suffering due to the lack of awareness or these are sheer planned strategy to let them remain a work force with unjust amenities, social order and thus in the course of time die before completing their life expectancy .....?
