Seakanchal: Ever any component struggle for religion, caste and livelihood

Political mobility in the limit – a contradiction manifests by incorporating the districts of Kishanganj, Purnia and Kathahar in Bihar. Its citizens, in one of the most backward regions of India, are craving for governance that will free them from the cycle of dependence on weather and migration for a better life. But the demographic of the place, overrouuding effect Bharatiya Janata Party From the Center, and fragmented politics ensures that simple equations of communal and caste support continue to extend the electoral variables in the region more. While livelihood issues remain primary concern for work and disadvantaged sections, electoral landscape is greatly influenced by the mixture of identity, caste and religion.

Sir audience

the issue of Special intensive amendment of electoral rolls (sir) The region has a large -scale loom, although it has been handled to some extent. The discrepancies caused by its hasty implementation were accepted by some booth level officials (BLOS), but have been corrected since then. For example, in booth number 167, Dhobini in the Advanced Middle School in the West, Kailanj assembly constituency, close to 93%, who was excluded, was marked as dead. The in -charge of the booth said that the discrepancy had decreased as the reasons for the lapse were marked in a hurry, as there was very little time left to verify the names of the residents in the area, including a traveler tribal population. Blo said the error was later corrected. The final role published by the Election Commission of India is not the reason, but it is mentioned that five voters were included in the role. Blos in booths, especially in areas where female voters were inconsistent among exclusion, argued that it was done with the consent of the families as many young women had already registered in their spouses’ places and had no unfair or faulty deletion.

Nevertheless, some residents deprived of official documents since 2005 are at greater risk of dissatisfaction. For example, residents of an Iranian colony in Kishanganj said that they claim that they live in the area for generations since British rule, complaining that many of them had received notices from election authorities, even after the sarolation. Hyder Ali, a resident, showed that his father organized a passport and was enrolled in the 2003 voter list. He himself had other identity documents, but received a notice from the Election Registration Officer (ERO). Some other residents, including some of the valid passports, also received notices. Mr. Ali and a dozen others whose names were in the draft role managed to include them in the final role, but said that since 2005 there were more than 200 people in the area with identity documents due to controversy over their identity.

‘Stereotype’

Travels faced by Iran-root inhabitants of Kichhanj, who followed the Shia branch of Islam, although there were an discrepancy Main media News portal. He said that the Muslim residents had received large-scale identity documents in the region, since the BJP rubbed the “outsiders-inflammatory” campaign. Senior Congress leader and Kadwa MLA Shakeel Ahmed Khan also said that Muslims have been stereotype for a long time in the wound, and with BJP rule at the center, have become more active in equipping themselves with adequate identity documents. The final voter list was uploaded on the website of the Chief Electoral Officer of Bihar on 30 September, but in large-scale illiterate areas such as flood-prone Sikorna village in Kadwa, there was little awareness about it, as the residents waited for physical verification. Mr. Khan resonated the strong condemnation of the EC and SIR process of his party leadership.

Aimim entry

Kindhganj, where about 70% of the population is Muslim, offered a new dynamic in the 2020 assembly. All India Majlis-e-Etehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) in the ground In Seakanchal. While some AIMIM MLAs blamed parties in India’s block after elections, the “spiler” factor of the party is still fresh in memory, especially among the Muslim community. Mr. Asif said that AIMIM was no longer an important force and its most famous face, state secretary and MLA of Amour, Akharul Imam, has organized only on a large scale due to his personal appeal.

Mr. Imam denied the allegation that his party was communal, saying that it works within constitutional boundaries and he himself, as a senior MLA, always explained the interests of not only the interests of Muslims, but also the interests of the marginalized sections of Dalits. He quoted numbers to suggest that parties like Rashtriya Janata Dal – they were before joining AIMIM – made a little more than lip service for issues related to Muslims and did not provide commentary representation to the community unlike major Yadavs. Nevertheless, he said, AIMIM had demanded joining the India block to counter BJP’s prominentism, but it was RJD and other parties that showed very little inclination to do so.

Master Mujahid Alam, a former close associate of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who had reduced RJD from Janata Dal (United) earlier this year, now wants to contest from Kochadman on RJD ticket. He dismissed the threat of AIMIM and suggested that the party’s language, especially its leader Asaduddin Owasi, was rapid communal and could polarize elections. This, they say, this is why India block survives from them. Mr. Khan echoed this approach, assuming that fear-inflammatory about the “infiltration” of the BJP will eventually run long-term residents, including Bengali speaking Muslims from places like Kadwa to continue to support their inclusive and secular views.

Growth vs. division

The communalism of politics is a clearly low in Seakanchal. In the stirring Gulab Bagh market, farmers and traders expressed satisfaction with the Nitish Kumar government and BJP citing an airport in good roads, hospitals and Purnia. A farmer, Krishnakant Yadav, confidently said that “50% apart from” 50% Yadav and Muslims “, everyone else will vote for the support government, a feeling echoed by Treder Umesh Sahni who asked the rhetoric,” How much does the resident want? “

However, Faraz Ahmed, a worker in the same market, disagreed with prudent, suggesting that the voter support was not so straightforward, especially in constituencies like Amour, where the voters wereware of the BJP and possibly back Mahagathan (Grand Alliance). A merchant from Samestipeur, Gauri Shankar Sah, who came to Purnia to sell his goods, said that when the limit could see the support division with communal lines, other parts of Bihar were contested more, caste variables were playing a more prominent role. His colleague, Raj Kumar Sahni, emphasized that in places like Roopoli organized by independent MLA Shankar Singh, local issues often trump wide narratives.

Vardant villages in Katihar district promise the abundance of crops and food production. But as we go deep into these villages, the range of problems faced by residents is clearly visible in India’s most population-thunder but backward areas.

In Sikorna, the villagers, where the Mahananda River flows, recognizes herself as Sherrshabadi, a Bengali-speaking Muslim community. The continuous floods of the region have destroyed the roads of the village and have wreaked havoc in the lives of the residents, who had angrily demanded that Mr. Khan responded to his requests for more development works.

In a nearby village, Pediatrician Manvendra Thakur pointed to serious issues in the field related to lack of diversity in economy, corruption and retrograde consequences, causing many youth and adolescents to suffer from misuse of drugs.

All these will be addressed only when politics went beyond issues related to identity and took livelihood people, he said.
