Battling caste in Tamil Nadu
The idea of social justice has shaped politics in Tamil Nadu for over a century. Political parties that subscribe to E V 'Periyar' Ramasamy's anti-caste ideology have had an uninterrupted run in office since 1967. Yet, caste violence, mostly targeting Dalits and perpetrated by members of castes under the Other Backward Classes (OBC) category, continues to roil Tamil Nadu, highlighting not just the administrative failure of successive governments but also the ideological hypocrisy of parties subscribing to the Dravidian Movement that takes pride in its anti-caste roots. The latest incident comes from Tirunelveli in southern Tamil Nadu that boasts 90% literacy, where a 27-year-old Dalit software engineer was killed for allegedly being in a relationship with a woman from the Most Backward Caste community. The woman's parents are police sub-inspectors, and the killer is her younger brother. The district was in the spotlight two years ago when a Dalit school boy and his sister were attacked by their schoolmates. The MK Stalin government had then appointed a retired judge to investigate the matter. The exhaustive Justice Chandru report found shocking evidence of not just deep-rooted caste prejudice in institutions but also a reluctance by heads of institutions to even recognise the malaise, let alone act against it. Anecdotal evidence too suggests large-scale use of caste markers among students in educational institutions, reflecting the polarisation in society. Dalits constitute close to 20% of the state's population and have become politically assertive in the past few decades. Improvement in educational standards and a shift towards service jobs have upset the traditional power relationship, triggering caste violence. Inter-caste marriages, especially when the girl is from a dominant caste, increasingly trigger a violent response, as witnessed in Dharmapuri (2012) and Udumalaipettai (2016). Unfortunately, the administrative apparatus, including the law enforcement system, has often failed to rise above caste associations and enforce the rule of law. Political parties that invoke caste pride covertly and overtly are equally to blame. For the Dravidian majors — the DMK and the AIADMK, primarily — the anti-Dalit violence suggests the failure to transcend their core vote bases, which are OBC communities, and usher in a politics that can enable the annihilation of caste. This task has been left incomplete by parties that now view politics entirely through the prism of economic development and ignore social fault lines that call for intense ideological engagement. Tamil Nadu's crisis is also the result of its economic advancement and improvement in human development indices, and its solution lies in political parties reinventing a paradigm of social justice.

State govt required to act fairly & not discriminate: HC
Lucknow: The Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court has said that the state government, as a welfare state, is required to act fairly granting equal treatment to persons who are placed equally. With this, it directed the principal secretary, PWD to issue NOC to an executive engineer for joining the national Highways Authority of India on deputation. On July 18, a bench of Justice Manish Mathur passed the verdict on the writ petition moved by executive engineer Mohd. Firdos Rahmani. The bench observed, "Grant of NOC to executive engineer Sudhir Kumar Bharadwaj in similar circumstances, while denying the same benefit to petitioner Rahmani, is clearly discriminatory and thus arbitrary being violative of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India. " The petitioner had approached the HC seeking issuance of NOC from principal secretary, PWD, but he was denied on the ground that there was shortage of executive engineers in the department. Reacting to the reason given by the department, the bench said, "It does not stand to reason as to why extension was granted to Bhardwaj for continuing on deputation, in case the department was facing such a severe shortage of engineers." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Brain tumor has left my son feeling miserable; please help! Donate For Health Donate Now Undo "It is evident that the case of petitioner was in parity with that of Bhardwaj, and therefore, refusal to grant NOC to him, while granting the same to the said person is found to be discriminatory," the bench said. The court has directed the principal secretary, PWD, to issue the NOC to the petitioner within ten days from the service of its order, so that he can join the NHAI on the post of deputy general manager (technical). The petitioner had applied for the said job in the NHAI and was selected on March 21, pending clearance from the PWD. However, the department denied him the NOC. The petitioner's counsel Gaurav Mehrotra had argued that the state govt cannot be allowed to discriminate on the issue.

Delhi govt set to adopt UP's IGRS, CM Dashboard to boost functioning
Lucknow: The BJP-run Delhi govt will be adopting UP govt's Integrated Grievance Redressal System (IGRS) and the CM Dashboard to improve its govt's functioning. A team from Delhi govt was in Lucknow recently for two days to study these models, implemented by chief minister Yogi Adityanath . "The Delhi govt has formally requested support from the UP govt to implement the IGRS and CM Dashboard in Delhi. The request reflects growing recognition of UP's governance innovations under Yogi Adityanath's leadership," said a govt spokesperson. The official said that delegations from various states have been coming to UP to study the various models of efficient governance that have been implemented in the state. He said that Delhi govt officials, who were in UP most recently, were extremely impressed with the IGRS and Dashboard models. A few months earlier, UP govt had made a presentation on these two models before the Delhi govt. The team explained how the two were ensuring that govt was not just able to keep a tab on public opinion, their needs and feedback, but also on how govt departments were functioning. "Subsequently, a team of Delhi govt officials visited Lucknow for an in-depth, two-day assessment of both the administrative and technical aspects of the systems. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Donating Sperm May Boost Your Income SpellRock Undo The team recognized the model as technically sound, citizen-centric, and highly effective," the official added.

The CM Dashboard, on the other hand, serves as a real-time monitoring tool to track progress and ensure quality in development works across the state.
