Ragpickers in India

India has a serious garbage disposal problem. The quantum of garbage generated has gone up and even smaller cities are producing more rubbish than before. The landfills are overburdened and proper segregation of waste is a crying need. And while the problem continues to pile on unabated, the people carrying this burden, the ragpickers whose services almost all of us rely on for keeping our surroundings clean, continue to languish unacknowledged by the government.

Ragpickers play an important role in our lives without our notice.The total number of rag pickers in India is not known.As the nation works to make India 'Swachh', what needs to be kept in mind is the harsh and unhygienic working conditions of the ragpickers. What we

need is a broader framework of the sanitation programme to bring this unorganized sector into the folds of our vision of Swachh Bharat.

The struggle the ragpickers go through everyday is worst than we can imagine.And there is nobody to look after themDespite performing a very useful social service at great risk to their health and well-being, for little money, their contribution to our dream of a Swachch Bharat is clearly being undermined. 

Lets have a look on who RAGPICKERS actually are!!

                                                                    WHO

Extremely poor, illiterate, and belong to rural immigrant families

     WHEN 

Many commence their profession at the young age of five to eight years

 WHY 

Most of them never attended any school or have any formal education.Most of their families are in need of extra incomes from these young children 

 WHAT 

Subjected to chemical poisons and infections

 RESULTS 

Retarded growth and anaemia,susceptible to diseases like tuberculosis and cancer

THEY HAVE A MAJOR ROLE IN WASTE GENERATION as IN FORMAL COLLECTION (MUNICIPALTY) AND INFORMAL COLLECTION OF DUSTBINS AMD MUNICIPAL COLLECTION OF LAND FILL AND as THELIWALAS,KABARIWALAS and RECYCLERS.


      According to a survey conducted in Delhi,it is seen that a large population of children are                                       working in shops, as rag-pickers, or at restaurants. 

1. Not only do the children work for long hours – a minimum of 12 hours each day – for very low wages but they are vulnerable to exploitation, child abuse and traffickers.  The children are also at risk of catching diseases from the toxic rubbish.Many of the children who roam the dumps have run away from home to live on the streets. Others are from families who live by the side of the dumps.

1. 
   
2. 
   
3. The Indian Government has recognized Rag pickers and the informal recycling sector through policies and law. Some of these are
4.  E-Waste (Management and Handling) 2011 
5. • Plastics Waste (Management and Handling) 2011
6.  • National Action Plan on Climate Change 2009 
7. • CAG Report 2007 • National Environment Policy 2006 
8. Apart from the government efforts , Many NGO’s such as Chintan ,Umeed-a drop of hope, MAD are working for the betterment of Rag pickers.
9.  
10. 
    
11. Government should really look after these deprived people and must provide them with social status , job opportunity , education and look after their health and shelter related problems.

HAPPINESS IS ALL THAT MATTERS....

Happiness is a mental or emotional state of well-being defined by positive or pleasant emotions ranging from contentment to intense 

Humans seem happiest when they have:-

1. Pleasure (tasty food, warm baths, etc.),
   
2. Engagement (or flow, the absorption of an enjoyed yet challenging activity),
   
3. Relationships (social ties have turned out to be extremely reliable indicator of happiness),
   
4. Meaning (a perceived quest or belonging to something bigger), and
   
   
   
5. Accomplishments (having realized tangible goals).

Finding happiness in todays fast moving life is kind of difficult.

as

 The whole of humankind is in a mad rush to achieve whatever goals they set. People are so occupied with the daily rush of things and the flurry to accomplish their various goals that they never take the time to look into themselves and understand themselves.

This single-minded perspective about survival has led to a mad rush to finish all the targets in life.If people slow down, and ponder about themselves, a huge silence would might come between the sadness of never being able to recognise or appreciate ourselves. 

There is a need of introspection as an attempt to understand themselves. 

Success is when you can spend 90 percent of your time doing the things you want to do and only 10 percent doing things you have to do.  Most people’s lives are just the opposite.

So,it is very important to do what you really want to if you want to be happy in real sense.The simplest way to do that is to just follow your dreams and not what others want you to do or for money or anything that you don't enjoy doing.

"YOU SHOULD NEVER REGRET IN LIFE THAT YOU NEVER TRIED UPON YOUR DREAMS EVEN WHEN IT MEANS WALKING ALONE"

               You should be happy with what you did all your life.

Because after 15 years when you look back the memories will give you happiness only when you have achieved something that you always wanted to and not the money that you have earned all your life.


Today,When i look back i don't remember the ranks or percentages that i got in school but the fun i had with my friends.That enjoyment gives me happiness not the high marks that i scored.

Don't just run after people or money, identify your hidden talent and passion and pursue it as a career.Just choose the career that gives you happiness.You have to face a lot of hurdles during this phase of life but eventually after achieving something you ll be proud of yourself and your decision.

"SOMETIMES GOING AGAINST THE FLOW MIGHT MAKE YOU FACE A LOT OF RESISTANCE AT FIRST BUT THE MOMENT YOU ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS,YOU WILL BE THE HAPPIEST PERSON"

“Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.” – Gail Devers

BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY THE HAPPINESS IS ALL THAT MATTERS....!!!!!!!

PERPETUAL STATE OF CASTE SYSTEM STILL PREVAILING IN INDIA

Caste is an institution of great complexity prevailing in all parts of India.

The concept and history of caste is the following.
The division of the society into a five-fold hierarchy is referred to as a Varna with an all-India application.
The hierarchy has
 Brahmins
 Kshatriyas(soldiers)
Vaishyas or traders
Shudras (servants or labourers)
 lastly the untouchables.

The first three castes are called "twin born" who have the right to study Vedas and
perform Vedic rituals.And others were considered inferior.


THE REAL UNIT OF CASTE SYSTEM IS NOT
 VARNA BUT "JATI",VERY SMALL ENDOGAMOUS GROUP PRACTISING A TRADITIONAL OCCUPATION WITH CERTAIN CULTURAL RITUALS.

Jatis are innumerable in number as it calculates to be 2000 subcastes in each linguistic area.
Now one can imagine how many total JATIS would exist in India.

INDIAN CASTE SYSTEM HAS EVOLVED FROM "SIMPLE" TO "COMPLEX.
From 5 castes to innumerable jatis.

But one thing needs to be understood every caste had its own significance according to their profession and needs initially. It is the majority groups who have exploited the lower strata that has become the reason of differentiation in the society with their norms and perception forcefully imposed on them.

This needs to be stopped.
Its been 70 years to our independence that the minority groups have been exploited,oppressed and used as a vote bank.

GANDHI ji SAID INDIA HAS WOMEN AND THE UNTOUCHABLES WHO ARE STILL SLAVES THAT NEED TO GET THEIR OWN INDEPENDENCE AND FIGHT FOR IT.


Caste is so successful in absorbing autonomous groups everywhere that even revolutionary movements which had aimed at overthrowing of caste system ended by either becoming caste themselves or reproduced the caste system within themselves.
Thus,the caste system effectively neutralised all attempts to change it.

The incident of Una,Gujrat where seven members of a Dalit family were allegedly beaten up for skinning a dead cow.It is Dalit's profession to do it, how can something like this happen after  democratic government.

Some questions needs to be asked by the government by the people because it is for us and by us.
Is the lower strata only mere vote banks for them?
What is the difference between Britishers and our own government when both are ruling with the "DIVIDE AND RULE" POLICY??
When will the minority stopped being oppressed after the muslims,sikhs,Dalits... What next??
Till when?

SO, ITS A REQUEST TO MINIMIZE AS MUCH AS YOU CAN TO PRACTICE CASTE SYSTEM(Atleast the youngsters) AND DONT LET ANYONE  SUPPRESS THE MINORITY TO PREVENT A FUTURE MASSACRE.

Elder abuse.... HELP!!!!

What is  elder abuse? 

The World Health Organization defines elder abuse as "a single, or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust which causes harm or distress to an older person.” According to WHO, elder abuse can take various forms such as physical, psychological or emotional, sexual and financial abuse. It can also be the result of intentional or unintentional neglect.

Why are cases of abuse on the rise?

 According to those who work in the area, the reasons are

• Increased life spans of the population 
• A change in traditional family values 
• easy targets for abuse is isolation.

Elders suffer physical, emotional, and financial abuse in silence as ill-treatment and abuse occurs mostly within the family.
Most elderly associate elder abuse with disrespect, verbal abuse and neglect.


Often seen elders...

• Being harassed by their children for their deposits and property; 
• Their signatures being faked to take loans against the properties.
•  Children refusing to take elderly parents to the doctor for treatment;
•  Not getting their food or medication on time; 
• Rude language and behaviour; 
• Threats to throw them out on the streets if they complain.

Others...

Given our cultural conditioning, 

It is expected that children, especially the sons, would take care of parents in their old age. 

However, surveys and workshops show several instances of elder abuse where the immediate family is the main perpetrator. 

‘The sons, along with the daughters-in-law are increasingly turning abusers. Surprisingly there is an emerging trend of the daughters also turning abusive,’

Elder abuse can be prevented or at least reported with a little awareness, which, sadly enough, is yet to come.

Facts...

• Verbal abuse ranked the highest in  the survey, followed by neglect and disrespect. 

• The survey also showed that 50% of seniors experience abuse.

•  Of the top metros, Delhi had the lowest percentage of abuse (22%) and Bangalore had the highest (75%) of elder abuse.

Measures to prevent abuse 

Senior citizens in the country can avoid ill-treatment or abuse at the hands of their family under the Maintenance and Welfare of Parents and Senior Citizens Act 2007. 

This law aims to prevent elder abuse by making it a legal obligation of children to provide maintenance to their parents. 

 The Act also provides for ‘Childless Senior Citizens,’ who are unable to maintain themselves from their own income and can demand maintenance from their relatives. 

Maintenance in this case includes provision for food, clothing, residence, medical attendance and treatment.

Unfortunately, awareness of the Act is extremely low among senior citizens in India. 

So we need to create awareness about it.

Another story..

There are also cases where the elderly have been forced by their children to gift away the property to their children. 

Under the Maintenance Act, the tribunals give the option to challenge the gift deed if the elder was forced or was not of sound mind but the process remains a laborious and difficult one.

 Community can play a very important role in both preventing the abuse as well as empowering the elders to fight back against such violation of their basic human rights.

We just need awareness about the abuse and the strength to face it.

 We need to give all that we can to our old generation as we deserve it, they did all they could for the youth.

Now,

its our time to payback.
