Three States refuse to give nod to the new NCBC Bill

NCBC

The proposed amendment will “deprive” the state from making provisions for socially and educationally Backward Classes, says the West Bengal government 

West Bengal, Karnataka and Odisha are at loggerheads with the Centre over the Bill that strives to give constitutional status to the National Commission for Backward Classes (NCBC) proclaiming that it will ‘take away the rights of States’.

Interestingly, the other states like CPM ruled Tripura and Kerala, AIADMK-ruled Tamil Nadu have proposed some changes in the Constitution (One Hundred and Twenty-third Amendment) Bill but did not oppose it.

According to a report, the Trinamool Congress government in West Bengal has claimed in its submission that the proposed amendment will “deprive” the state from making provisions for socially and educationally Backward Classes (BCs) under Article 15 (4) of the Constitution of India. It said, the amendment appears to be “against the spirit of co-operative federalism” and “undermines the role of the state government and state commissions for backward classes”. It also said the proposed amendment would be a “hindrance” to the development of particular communities, who may have inadequate representation in the state and so the government is not in favour of adoption of the Bill.

Supporting the contention of the West Bengal, Odisha was of the view that the proposed amendment would “snatch away” the power of the state which also has a State Backward Classes Commission.

Denying the claims, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment said that the new changes in the proposed Bill would not tinker with the powers of the State government to notify socially and educationally backward classes or undermine the federal structure or the role of States.

The Ministry insisted that none of the clauses in the proposed Bill would cause any hindrance to the State backward classes commissions making recommendations or the State government making any inclusion of caste/communities in the state list.

A few months back, the Central government had rolled out a notification stating that  as many as fifteen new castes, including Gadheri/itrafarosh in Bihar, Jhora in Jharkhand and Labana in Jammu and Kashmir, to be included in the Central list of Other Backward classes (OBCs). Notably the NCBC had recommended a total of 28 changes in respect of eight States.

NCBC was formed in the year 1993 after the Supreme Court in its judgment of Indra Sawhney & Ors. vs Union of India directed the State governments’ and Union Territories’ administrations to constitute a permanent body in the nature of a commission or tribunal for entertaining, examining and recommending upon requests for inclusion and complaints of over-inclusion and under-inclusion in the list of OBCs.

Another man blamed the BJP government for the incident, while some found the incident humorous. A war of words between Hindus and Muslims erupted soon after the incident surfaced across the internet.

The Kerala Story is a film that follows the story of a Hindu woman from Kerala played by Adah Sharma who is being brainwashed in the movie to convert to Islam religion and sent to Syria, where she was forced to join the terrorist organization ISIS.

The family of the teenage girl who lives in Naya Basera area of Bhopal said Yusuf was their neighbor. The girl ran with Yusuf just before her marriage, which was scheduled for May 30. She also took the cash and the jewelry that was saved for her wedding.

Villagers from Gujarat’s Patan district allegedly attacked a Dalit boy and chopped off his uncle’s thumb after his nephew picked up a cricket ball during a match at school playground on Sunday.


The boy, who was watching a cricket match, picked up the ball, to which the accused allegedly got angry and beat up the boy. He also humiliated and threatened the boy.


When the victim’s uncle, Dhiraj Parmar, raised his voice against the insult, the matter got settled but later that evening, a group of seven men armed with sharp weapons allegedly assaulted the complainant Dhiraj and his brother Kirti.

One of the accused chopped off Kirti’s thumb and injured him seriously. An FIR was registered under sections 326 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt by dangerous weapons), 506 (criminal intimidation) and other relevant provisions of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and the SC and ST (Prevention of Atrocities Act).


Discrimination based on caste is a significant issue in India which is illegal under law. The discrimination is mostly because of inequality and a lack of proper education about the harmful impacts of caste discrimination.


It’s crucial that people of this country and the government unitedly tackle and eradicate caste-based discrimination by educating people, enforcing laws, and addressing inequalities that contribute to such discrimination. Every individual deserves respect and equal treatment, regardless of their caste or social status.


It is unfortunate that the most weaker people in any society are often targets of violence.
Sadly, even in the twenty-first century, Indian society believes in a caste system as a prominent part of their society and to eliminate this caste issue in India, the young and the modern generation of our country need to understand the value of equality.
