Yesterday, Jharkhand born Dhoni has created a history
in Indian cricket. After Kapil Dev, Dhoni has brought the world cup to India
after a gap of 23 years. He brought the name of Jharkhand in world media more
than any one else does after the creation of new state Jharkhand. So, Jharkhand
state government has introduced the highest award in the state called
Jharkhand Ratna for the first time and that will be presented to Dhoni on the
7th foundation day celebration of the Jharkhand state on November 15 at Ranchi
(capital city of Jharkhand). Jharkhand Government is being very soft towards
sports person as in last month it has already introduced 2 percent reservation
in state government jobs. And, also sports are being mandatory in Jharkhand
schools up to higher secondary level. Its great turning towards sports talents
promoting policy since, Jharkhand is supplying the top level players in Indias
national Hockey, Archery and Cricket teams.
Even after a big political instability and non-efficient ministers some of
the good policies are coming up in state but, due to improper implementation
and clearance or transparency in system it has been matter of discussion and
debate such as Domicile Policy. In my personal view it has nothing wrong if
government wants to give preference to local people in 3rd or 4th class state
government jobs. But, still its not perfect policy because, everyone whose
familys real estate property/land/homes has been in state since 1932 can get
advantage of this, no matter either s/he is rich or poor economically. So,
basically it should be targeting to economically suppressed class regardless of
their caste or community or religion.
In case of so called outsider (often termed as Diku in negative sense) in
state. No one residing in state is outsider as long as s/he stayed there for
couple of years and adopted the local things (culture, language & food etc.)
and settled there. They (who came in Jharkhand in search of
job/occupation/business and settled down) shouldnt have to feel rivalry to
states original and suppressed class population either its belong to Tribals
or Non-Tribals. Jharkhand State has got 29 percent tribal population, thats
really a big figure compare to other states of India. And of-course yes, we
have to give preference to our economically suppressed class tribal
populations and who are on the verge of extinct such as Birhor tribe. We
Jharkhandi should really have to feel proud that - we got 32 types of tribes in
our state and their rich culture. Our all efforts should be propelled to save
our rich heritage and history otherwise, it would be only found in places like
British &
American Museums. Being a true Jharkhandi, we all should have care for our
mines, minerals, forests, industries, tribes as well as up coming tinsel towns
talents. If you dont then, please dont say yourself a Jharkhandi and dont
mix your life with Jharkhand.
Jharkhand is basically a small state and it has been a biggest mineral bank
of India, as per data till 1980s Jharkhand (South Bihar, in undivided Bihar)
was contributing 60 percent in overall national minerals production of India
that comes to now at approx. 40 percent. Jharkhand has many industrial cities
and sub-urban areas called as tinsel town naming - Bokaro, Dhanbad, Jamshedpur
and Ranchi, are the home of many technical and educational institutions, that
produced the huge numbers of well-known politicians, Bollywood/TV actors, IAS
and IITian (engineers) and business management people. But, our national media
hardly try to catch-up that above and on the other side some commercial media
houses has been keen on selling negative image of our places. During latest
England tour, when Indian Cricket team went to watch Chak De India movie at
Manchester, that time Jharkhand born cricket star Dhoni certainly wouldnt like
to saying Ho-Ho by Jharkhandi Sporty Girl in reply
of all questions in that movie. This might be ignored by many people or taken
as healthy source of entertainment. But, its not healthy at all anyway, if
something slap on your origin/identity or misrepresent it and at last, why
should be funny media selling item on the name of our state? They (media
houses) are never missed to say entire state as Naxal effected but, have they
ever brought the broadcasting of real faces of state based naxalism? Obviously,
its hard for them go in dense forest to capture naxal life rather than
capturing street lynching by mob in Bihar and broadcasting again and again.
Thanks for reading my words...
