I THINK YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND IN PROPER PERSPECTIVE. I AM NOT A RACIST NOR A
BRAHMIN AND HAVE WORKED FOR UPLIFTMENT OF HARIJANS BY VISITING THE SLUMS AND
CONDUCTING NIGYHT CLASSES AND ADULT EDUCATION.
HER WE ARE TALKING OF SKILLED LABOUR REQUIRED TO RUN INDUSTRIES WITH
DANGEROUS POTENTIALS IF NOT PROPERLY TRAINED. IF TRIBALS ARE TO BE APPOINTED,
THEY ARE TO BE EDUCATED AND THEN TRAINED TO ATTAIN THE SKILLS REQUIRED TO
OPERATE THE MACHINES. THEY SHOULD ALSO BE TOLD THE IMPORTANCE OF HANDLING SUCH
MACHINERY/ EQUIPMENTS/ CHEMICALS.
YOU ARE AWARE HOW THE CARELESSNESS OF AN OPERATOR AT BHOPAL, IRRESPECTIVE
WHETHER A LOCAL, TRIBAL OR NOT, OPENING THE WATER-LINE INTO THE REACTORS FILLED
WITH METHYL ISOCYANATE LED TO THIS HUGE HUMAN TRAGEDY. IF PROPERLY TRAINED,
SUCH INCIDENTS COULD BE AVOIDED.
ALL I MEANT IS THAT EMPLOYMENT OF LOCALS WITHOUT PROPER EDUCATION AND
TRAINING IN SKILLED OPERATIONS, IS FRAUGHT WITH DANGER OF SUCH TRAGEDIES.

S Kumar's comments remind me of the British views on "Self
Rule".
The BJP accepted Babulal Marandi as Chief Minister. The JMM is basically a
Jharkhandi party, as is JVP. The RSS, the Gandhians and the Communists all
agree (as do the christian churches and any sane Indian) that tribals are
competent and local people should be given equal education and opportunities.
Any view that does not accept this is biased if not racist.

1.WHAT I MEANT IS IN THE REAL SENSE. EVERYWHERE, WHENEVER A NEW PROT/
INDUSTRY COMES UP, THERE IS A POLITICAL CLAMOUR FOR EMPLOYING LOCALS THOUGH
THEY ARE NOT SKILLED EITHER EDUCATIONALLY OR BY EXPERIENCE. SUCH LABOUR HAVE
FIRST TO BE TRAINED AND THEN ONLY PLACED IN SENSITIVE JOBS LIKE HANDLING
DANGEROUS CHEMICALS AND GASES..ETC.
3. I HAVE SEEN HOW BHILAI OFFICIALS HAD SEVERAL PROBLEMS IN COMMISSIONING THE
PLANT IN 1950-S, AS STATE GOVT. INSISTED ON RECRUITING LOCAL TRIBALS FOR THE
JOBS. INDEED, SEVERAL LOCALS WERE TAKEN, TRAINED AND THEN ONLY ALLOWED TO
HANDLE THE DANGEROUS OPERATIONS IN THE STEEL PLANT.
