A History Of
Unorganised labour In India :AND HOW CAN A “MAN” DIE BETTER, FACING THE FEARFUL
ODDS All my studies and the articles in terms of what I saw and if it is considered to be a REPORT by any mean is subjected to the Indian scenario of the labour market and I’m especially writing this piece on the UNORGANISED sector though the ORGANISED sector is NO BEST or VERY-BEST.
It was way back in 1963 when I was only four years of age. We were at Kumda Colliery Sub Area which was under the Bishrampur Coal Mines area at Chattisgarh then. We were staying at the Officers Bungalow when one day I approached my Father and we were at the playfield which was situated near our house and the Chief Of The Coalfield Area Mr Doshi from the other end approached my Father.
All of a sudden there was a very POOR man, do not know what was he, in a kind of a legstand to save his feet from the puddles and the muds approached the field and he started collecting maybe the mushroom or the leaves, whatever it could be. The Security Guard approached him and immediately after asking him WHAT WAS HE UP TO CANED him very harshly and badly on his joints. TEARS ROLLED OUT OF HIS EYE and he was weeping very LOUDLY. That was the FIRST.
There was another. After writing the final paper of the Class VIIITH Board Exam at Bishrampur, and for the last time meeting the Nuns of the School, where we studied at Bishrampur, I for ONCE took a final walk out of that school compound where I had studied from 1964 to 1972. While crossing the Main Gate of that School I noticed the SON of a School Gardener eating DRY-MAHUA for the LUNCH. These are the FOOD for the HERDS or the COWS which he was eating. I still cannot FORGET that incidence.
There was ONE more. One fine day after we had finished our LUNCH at the Hostel of the CCBHSS at Jabalpur, from the top of the dormitory myself, my hostelmate K.M.Nair and Asit Guin were watching the TOILET cleaner by the name of Mulloo transferring the LEFTOVER which was there in a huge big type of a container as there were about 150 plus Boys’ who would take their lunch, transferring it to another vessel brought by him and transferring which we call it JHOOTA in Hindi to that vessel brought by him. I just cannot forget that day and the moment.
THIS WAS THE “ PITIABLE ” CONDITION OF THE INDIAN UNORGANISED LABOUR
This conditions apaprt , these UNORGANISED LABOURS continuously from the era of the Mughals to the present day have immensely contributed to the well-being of the economy from ages to ages and from state to stage, but their conditions of DWELLING and LIVING has been pitiable and deplorable to say the least
Pics:: A picture Of Unorganised Labour
These labours in toto contribute by their PERSPIRATIONS and the TEARS to the extent of about 3% of the Indian economy per annum and it could be even more than that .Just take out any field of GDP that constitutes the Indian economy and you would see that there are enormous labours toiling for 12 hours a day to earn their living and contributing to the NATION BUILDIND which overall contributes to the GDP and the Indian economy but what is their condition ……..
Characteristics of the unorganized Indian Labour
The Indian economy is characterised by the existence of a vast majority of informal or unorganised labour employment. ... and there are about 60 crores in toto if we have to take a stock of the same, Out of these workers in the unorganised sector, there are 24.6 crore workers employed in agricultural sector, about 4.4 crore in construction work and remaining in manufacturing and service.
Pic:: A Picture Of Unorganised Unethical Women labour In A Real estate organisation
They are paid on the basis of the daily payment and they live for the day and die for the day working in one of the most HEINOUS condition bereft of everything and anything.
There is HARDLY any medicine available for them at the case of any eventualities and hardly they enjoy any terminal benefits . The condition that they live is inexplicably “INDESCRIBABLE” and the kind of the nutrition that they can enjoy after such a HARD-LABOUR-FOR-THE-DAY is such that one is surprised to see them turning up for the next day.
In nutshell 3500 calories of heat is necessary for an average Indian labour to survive to live for the next day but these hardly consume anything between 1200 calorie to about 1500 calorie. It is really SURPRISING to see HOW THEY SURVIVE and survive for ages together to BUILD this GDP through their LABOUR which BUILDS the NATION called India.
No proper residential facility, no proper medical facility, no means of proper nourishment, nothing in terms of SANCTITY that they enjoy from those who employ them to carry out the work, nothing in terms of the EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES that their childrens enjoy, no proper means of transport for them for the TO-AND-FRO facility that one enjoys, nothing in terms of anything that one could expect them to enjoy in terms of termainal benefits, ages after ages and years after years these LABOURS have put their NECK into the GALLOWS to SURVIVE and this is how they are surviving.
Atleast with my age and with the scenes that I have described here- I have NEVER NEVER and NEVER seen any changes that could accrue by anybody to these labours making their life somewhat easy but when it COMES to RANTING-AND-BARKING over the issues I have from 1963 to 2020 seen every POLITICAL parties doing that.
BHOW-BHOW-BHOW and the ALLIGATOR-TEARS…….. nothing more and nothing less …… A DOG’S CRY IS A “ FRIGHT ” AND NEVER A “ MIGHT ” AS IT SIGNALS DEATH.
It is said that the DOG’S bark is a DEATH and DEATH rides these labours everywhere wherever they are doing their bits to earn for living just for another day. No sooner that we hear the BARK from the POLITICIANS barking for them atleast I visualize that DEATH is approaching these labours.
It happens when the labours travelling on foot are put in a TRUCK and the truck turtles to see that many labours are DEAD. Once it happens we see the politicians making a NATIONAL-OUTCRY about the same. Till then NO SOUND COMES OUT FROM THEIR MOUTH.
ORGANISED AND UNORGANISED SECTOR
Let us first know the difference between an organized sector and the unorganized one !!
Organised Sector is a sector where the employment terms are fixed and regular, and the employees get assured work. Exactly the OPPOSITE and ANTI-PODE is the other one as Unorganised sector is one where the employment terms are not fixed and regular, as well as the enterprises, are not registered with the government
What is the percentage of Unorganised sector in India?
Well as explained, the UNORGANISED sector is defined as the employment entity which extracts the CRUELEST of the JOB in the most “ INHUMANE ” working condition with “ NO ” guarantantee of anything that safeguards the jobs
You just have to name out any sector in India that opens out for the job. You would find that MOST of them operate in a manner that makes us to put and bracket them in the UNORGANISED sector and this is how the sector operates.
More than 82 percent of the workforce in India is employed in the unorganised sector, as noted by the International Labour Organisation, and though there are manu Union in its India the labour and the Labour Market Update of 2016 clearly reveals that THERE ARE NOTHING IN TERMS OF “ FINALITY ” that exists in the areans where the employment entity employs the labour to run it as an unorganized sector.
In unorganized sectors, employee has less facilities than the employees of organised sector. Some of the problem faced by labourers in the unorganized sector are: 1) workers working in unorgansied sector get few wages. 2) There is no provision for over time, paid leave, holidays, leave due to sickness etc.
Who comes under Unorganised sector?
It is fair enough to spend a little bit of time and find out what are the entities which and that falls in the unorganized sector?. Well one could make an attempt to do so.
I may have my own list for the same but let me fall back to the notification that comes from the Government to define and redefine this sector.
I shall lay down to the Ministry Of Labour and the Ministry Of Human Resources Development to make the things very clear to ONE-AND-SUNDRY about the same.
The Ministry of Labour and Employment in order to ensure the welfare of workers in the unorganised sector which, inter-alia, includes weavers, handloom workers, fishermen and fisherwomen, toddy tappers, leather workers, plantation labourers, beedi workers, has enacted the Unorganized Workers' Social Security Act, 2008
There are about 1500 such industry that operates in a manner which may make ONE to feel all about the unorganized sector the way it operates and to comment upon them but as the case is, ONE CANNOT cross the line in any manner to categorise by oneself and itself about this sector and hence the NOTIFICATION of the Ministry is essential.
This sector was brought under the GARB of the unorganized sector under the regime of Manmohan Singh Government by the Congress. The WONDER that they created was- 90% of the other sector was NOT included in it and that makes it a JOKE??
Had Not the CORONA VIRUS and had not the “ DANDI-MARCH ” movement of the labors that we saw from one place to another by FOOT and FEET and had not the provision of 1000 buses that ought to be supplied by the Congress at Uttar Pradesh courtesy the “ LOLLY-DOLLY ” BEGUM SAHIBA of the N-G-Vadhra family really we could not have understood the GREAT job that the politics did to unearth the PLIGHT of the labours, as if we did not see when we were either fed the milk with out mother holding it with her hand to connect it to our mouth while drinking that or feeding us with her hands and her fingers to crush that hunger for us to be free from anything as such.
How to protect workers in the unorganised sector
Let us accept the fact. Inspite of the International Labour Organisation, and the various law that were framed from time to time here in India, we have NEVER been able to enact anything that would have given these labours working in the unorganized sector anything that would be something good that they could have felt and we could have boasted for and upon.
Still as they say- NO SOONER THAT YOU WAKE UP BE IT VERY LATE THAT SERVES US THE START OF THE MORNING.
There have been many a things that th political parties have done in the Lok sabha and the Rajya Sabha for them and the GREATEST is STALL THE HOUSE when it comes to that.
I believe that many that has been done as the various parties SREAMS-AND-SHOUTS on this matter, there are much that could be still done and the SIMPLE of the SIMPLEST thing that the Government can again RE-DO is-:
1 ) .the government can fix minimum wages.
2 ) . the government should provide specific working hours.
3 ) . the government can enact new laws on overtime and salary range.
4 ) .provide cheap loan with low interest.
5 ) . open small scale industry.
6 ) . The Government can make the availability of the medical facilities to them
Corona Hangover :: This Could Be The “ BOON-AND-BOOM ” ,the “ CUTTING EDGE ”
During this period of CORONA and the LOCKDOWN period which was near about for fourty days, we saw many at India donationg to the Prime Minister Cares Fund. THIS IS A GOD SEND OPPORTUNITY
From 1989 the Central Government Health scheme and it’s hospitals are in shambles. According to the law those labours whose salary is or whose wages are LESS than Rs 10,000=00 a month are given the facility to use this hospitals for medicines and other medical care.
The overall state of these hospitals are very deplorable and very poor. The condition is such that leave apart the human being, even a DOG or a COW would VOMIT in entering these hospitals for anything if they have to enter these hospitals.
The scanty and the scarcity of anything the BEDS, the OXYGEN CYLINDER, the INJECTIONS the MEDICINES, the BLOOD BANK etc to name a few are NOT at all existing in these hospitals.
The number of the DOCTORS, the NURSES the COMPOUNDERS etc to cite as an example are HORRENDOUS. In some of the CGHS they DO NOT exist at all. The state of the TOILET and the LAVORATORY and the state of the other facilities are SIMPLY like the GHOST’S HOUSE .
This needs to be looked upon now and this needs to be completely overhauled and changed. So much of money has come to the Prime Minister’s care. A lot could e spend on developing the necessary vaccines for Corona and Hantavirus which is going to hit the world very soon in the near future but a LOT OUGHT to be spend to make these CGHS upgraded so that the female workers from the unorganized sector can atleast approach these hospitals for maternity operation and such other treatments.THAT WILL BE THE CUTTING EDGE
In many of the CGHS where the labours approach the Doctors, the Doctors refer them to other BIG medical Hospitals and because of the money that is in scantily and scantity , these labours just are left to fend for themselves. MANY a DEATHS have occurred due to this and this really is a GRAVE concern. This needs to be mend and a THOUGHT PROCESS needs for the present Government to do something BIG on it. This is the need of the hour.
IF THE PRESENT PRIME MINISTER REALLY WORKS ON THESE AND USES THE “BOOTY” DONATED TO THE PRIME MINISTER’S CARE-IT COULD BE A REDEFINING MOMENT OF GLORY FOR THE INDIAN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDED TO THESE LABOURS . THAT WILL BE THE GREATEST EDIFICE CONSTRUCTED FOR HE “WELL-BEING” OFAND FOR THESE LABOURS.
What is the cost of Labour in India?
Labour in India refers to employment in the economy
of India. In 2012, there were around 487 million workers in India, the second largest after
China. …….The COST of the LABOUR in India is and are the 487TO ABOUT 515 MILLIONS NOW, MILLIONS of labour that contributes to the manufacturing and DEVELOPMENT of INDIA
This cannot be measured in anyway by the amount of money. Their LABOUR are PEERLESS and that cannot be counted by any mean in terms of the money.
THEY ARE THE “ PILLARS ” OF THE MODERN INDIA AND ON THEIR SHOULDERS RESTS THE FOUNDATION OF THIS COUNTRY. THEY CONTRIBUTE TO ABOUT THREE PERCENT TO THE INDIAN GDP WHICH IS THE HIGHEST AMONGST THE 17 ELEMENTS THAT CONTRIBUTES TO THE INDIAN “ GDP ”
What are the examples of Unorganised sector?-::
The sector which is not registered and no fixed terms of employment is called unorganised sector.
The sector which the Union Government under Mr Manmohan Singh has covered the unorganized sectors are the plantation labour, handloom workers, fishermen, weavers, toddy tappers, beedi workers etc
Well there are many that the present Union Government has to add in this sector. The one’s who are working in the real estate on a daily wages, the ones who are working as the Security men in the Security Business that provides security to the Residential Owners, the ladies who work as the AAYA’S ie the MAIDS , in the residential owner’s Association, the cleaners and the sweepers in the ROA ie the residential owners association, the washman and the washerman the women etc to name a few. These sectors really needs to be taken care of and the one’s working in them ought to be registered FIRST with the Government and then with the one’s they are working so that they are provided with all the facilities like the MINIMUM WAGES, the medical, the RAILWAY concession for them to travel to their respective places , facilities like the leaves etc and at least a part of money that they spend on the maternity treatment to cite as an example.
AMERICA and some LEADING European nation provides these facilities If they then WHY NOT INDIA. Let a START begin and let it be a PROCESS IN MOTION . Better it starts now and immediately at India. The SOONER the BETTER.
What are the Labour problems in India?
There could be many but analytically there are EIGHT (8) Major Problems Faced by Labour Market in India
These can be
summarized and categorized as under::
Problem # 1. Surplus
Labour Force: …Problem # 2. Unskilled Labour: …
Problem # 3. Lack of Absorption of Skilled Labour: …
Problem # 4. Imperfections: …
Problem # 5. Work Culture: …
Problem # 6. Militant Unionism: …
Problem # 7. Unemployment: …
Problem # 8. Lack of Labour Reforms:
This is where the Union Government ie the Ministry of the Human resources and the Ministry of the labour will have to sit and formulate the points and come up with some pressing law that can regulate and make the life of these unorganized labours so esay that could be termed as better thar we visualize and see it with our open eye.
What are the disadvantages of Unorganised sector?
Three disadvantages of unorganised sector:
- (i) Employment is not secure. (ii) Generally jobs in such type of sector are low paid and generally not regular. (iii) Employers do not make provision for overtime payment, paid leaves or holidays, medical facilities, gratuity and provident fund.
- The unorganised sector, covers most of the rural labour and a substantial part of urban labour. lt includes activities carried out by small and family enterprises, partly or wholly with family labour.Pics : Segment Of Informal Sector engaged in informal employmentWhy do we need to protect the workers in the Unorganised sector?It is important to protect and support the workers in the unorganised sector as workers are exploited in this sector. It is because in unorganised sectors, the government's rules and regulations regarding the conditions of employment are not followed. Often jobs are low paid and irregular.Should the workers in the Unorganised sector be protected and the reasons?The workers in the unorganised sector need protection on the following issues : wages, safety and health.Explain with examples if I need to explain. A large number of workers are forced to enter the unorganised sector jobs, which pay a very low salary. They are often exploited and not paid a fair wageWhich are the Unorganised sectors in India?I have already said and explained that about 1500 entities that are carrying out their business by employing the labourers without any terms and conditions laid, are deemed as labourers under the unorganized sectors .There are many organized sector which takes the advantages to employ the labourers on the unorganized basis of employment and that is their GROSS VALUE ADDED as that could be deemed .I shall lay down the same and after researching many a times and following many journals I have found the following figures that I categorise and place them here-:Gross Value Added and the Unorganised Sector in India .Here the INFORMAL sector means the sector which is NIETHER TAXED or MONITORED by any form of the Government .

What is meant by Unorganised sector in Indian
economy?
Pics : Formal And Informal sector and the employment in terms of the percentages
Unorganised sector is defined as that set
of economic activities characterized by relative ease of
entry, reliance on indigenous resources, small scale of operations, labour
intensive operations, reliance on skills acquired outside the formal
educational system and unregulated competitive market
I have explained in
minutes and in details about this sector and repetitive explanation is further

What determines the GDP of a country?
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is the monetary value of all finished goods and services made within a country during a specific period. GDP provides an economic snapshot of a country, used to estimate the size of an economy and growth rate. GDP can be calculated in three ways, using expenditures, production, or incomes
I have mentioned the GDP here coupling it with the unorganized sector because whtever they earn and whatever they put it on and fortheir maintenance it brings in money to the Indian government and THEY CONTRIBUTE THE HIGHEST OF 3% OF THE GDP TO THE INDIAN ECONOMY
Importance of the UNORGANISED SECTOR::
The unorganised sector has a crucial role in our economy in terms of employment and its contribution to the National Domestic Product, savings and capital formation. ... Thus, non-corporate enterprises can figure under either of the two (organised and unorganised) sectors in the national income classification.
INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANISATION-::
Formed actually in 1936 but operated to be a force to reckon with in the 1940’s this institution operated on a part-time- and AD-HOC basis from 1940 to 1948 lest after the WORLD WAR-II ended that this organization received the entitlement from various international agencies to operate as a FULL-FLEDGED entity to control and make the labourers feel good and better for whatever they do.
Pic : Morrice Hall – The First of all the place where the ILO started
The norms, nomenclatures of the labours to the law and the administration and it’s principles as well as it’s implementations were the job done by this institute world over and this institution has now become the BLOOD of the labours world over.
However the under developing countries and the developing countries FULKLY do not adherre to the norms and the guideleines laid by the ILO This ought to be carried out by this agency in a manner that could be considered as worth and worthy of everything.
The only tripartite U.N. agency, since 1919 the ILO brings together governments, employers and workers of 187 member States , to set labour standards, develop policies and devise programmes promoting decent work for all women and men.
Driving Force Of The International labour Organisation
The driving forces for the ILO's creation arose from security, humanitarian, political and economic considerations. The founders of the ILO recognized the importance of social justice in securing peace, against a background of the exploitation of workers in the industrializing nations of that time. There was also increasing understanding of the world's economic interdependence and the need for cooperation to obtain similarity of working conditions in countries competing for markets.
Reflecting these ideas, the Preamble of the ILO Constitution states:
- Whereas universal and lasting peace can be established only if it is based upon social justice;
- And whereas conditions of labour exist involving such injustice, hardship and privation to large numbers of people as to produce unrest so great that the peace and harmony of the world are imperilled; and an improvement of those conditions is urgently required;
- Whereas also the failure of any nation to adopt humane conditions of labour is an obstacle in the way of other nations which desire to improve the conditions in their own countries.
Mission and Impact of the “ ILO ”
The International Labour Organization (ILO) is devoted to promoting social justice and internationally recognized human and labour rights, pursuing its founding mission that social justice is essential to universal and lasting peace.
Pic:: Members of the Community of the ILO from 1940 to 1948.
Only tripartite U.N. agency, the ILO brings together governments, employers and workers representatives of 187 member States , to set labour standards, develop policies and devise programmes promoting decent work for all women and men.
In
support of its goals, the ILO offers unmatched expertise and knowledge
about the world of work, acquired over almost 100 years of responding to the needs of people everywhere
for decent work, livelihoods and dignity. It serves its tripartite constituents
- and society as a whole - in a variety of ways, including:
- Formulation of international policies and programmes to promote basic human rights, improve working and living conditions, and enhance employment opportunities
- Creation of international labour standards backed by a unique system to supervise their application
- An extensive programme of international technical cooperation formulated and implemented in an active partnership with constituents, to help countries put these policies into practice in an effective manner
- Training, education and research activities to help advance all of these efforts
PIC :: Woman in unorganized sector
In India if I have to come across the families of the unorganized
labours and the woman involved into it the figures are staggering and it really
POKES for the PUKES to come out of the same..Let me put it in perspective by
saying that the WOMEN LABOURS IN INDIA
BE IT THE ORGNISED OR ANYTHING AS SUCH WORK IN THE UNORGANISED SECTORS
I shall now put the statisticsA ) > The population of the labour class in India:: 58 Crores
B ) > The number of the familes in the labour class :: 11 crores
Here I have taken the husband, the wife and three childrens that these labours do produce though it could be more as well .
C ) . Number of th Womenfolks in the house in toto :: 11crores .
These 11 crores women everyday go out of their home to earn on a daily wage and their salary/wage rangs from Rs 3000=00/pm to Rs 6000=00/pm depending o the work they do.A MAID cooking the food for the household gets about Rs 3000=00 to cook for a family of THREE members per month ONCE a day and if the number of the family members are more where she cooks she charges more.This is an unorganized sector.
Similiarly a women working in the SECURITY agency gets around Rs 4000=00per month as her wage for sweeping and cleaning the RWA
Now take the overall remuneration that the unorganized sector earns per month both the male and the female included.
Pic :: Region Wise Labour
I shall lay down the statistics obtained-:
A ) > Number of males working in the unorganized sector :; 11 crores (1)B ) > Number of the females working in the unorganized sector :: 11 crores (2)
ADD (1) plus (2) it makes 22 crores
C ). Average earning of the males from the unorganized sector Rs 10,000=00/pm
D ) > Average earning from the females in the unorganized sector Rs 4000=00/pm
E ). Total Lump-sum of earning from the MALE SECTOR :: 11 croresX10,000=00 ie 110 Crores (3)
F ). Total lump-sum of earning from the Female sector :: 11 crores X 4000=00 ie 44crores (4)
Add (3) and (4) we get Rs 154 crores . IN A MONTH THIS SECTOR EARNS ABOUT 154 CRORES AND SPENDS ON THEIR MAINTENANCE. The TAX earned by the Government every month from this sector ie the INDIRECT REVENUES from and like the indirect tax is about 154X18% = 27.72 crores per month.
In a year this sector fills in the pocket of the Union Government by Rs 332.64 crores . Could I ask one PERTINENT question::
WHAT DO THESE LABOUR GET IN RETURN The SIMPLE answer is “ZERO” from the Government From 1947 to this date they have RECEIVED the TUBERCULOSIS, and all sort of disease from the Government the recent being the CORONA . WHY?? Can the Government answer.
The women folks here in this sector live like a DOG and are treated like the PIGS . Shame on this country which BOASTS of the N-G-V family which jumps in to provide the buses replicating it with the autos and ambulance and shame on those from the Congress party which says that the HINDU – BHAGWAS will dance NAKED in front of their daughters MUSTURBATING with joy. CAN ANYBODY DO THAT WHEN HE OR SHE TAKES THESE DAUGHTERS AND MOTHERS FROM THE UNORGANISED SECTORS between the age of 11 to 55 toiling so hard for their living.I want an answer form the Madam who is a ROTTEN-ITALIAN-PASTA along with the brainless donkeys that drives the party which is VITAMIN-DATE-EXPIRED-“C” which has medicated this nation for 55 years ruling it.
In my view the number of WOMAN working in the organized and the unorganized sector, together is in the ratio of 1:1 at the best or 2:1 at the worst.
Pic :; A Under 17 Years Of A Boy-Labour
Labour under 12 and Under-17 years of age
Let me cite the statistics of the labours under seventeen and under 12 years of age in the section of the boys and the girls that works in this sector
A ). The number of the boys’ under 17 working in the unorganized sector :: 5 crores
B ). The number of the girls under the age 12 working in this sector :: 1.5 crores
The entire CONCEPT of WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT and “ BETI- SARVADHAN “ FAILS when one sees it.The age when these coots are supposed to go to the schools and learn to study well, to make their career they go all out to earn to support their families and especially the girls are HEAVILY treated to the most INHUMAN means . This is something which one needs to understand..
Some practical observation that I observed during my “ JOB-CAREER ”
There are some REAL incident that I would like to cite when I take and talk of this sector which we and I call it as the UNORGANISED sector.
I take the examples of the time between 1989 to 1995 when I was working with an organization TRIFED ( Tribal Co-operative Marketing development Federation Of India Limited ) when I was posted at jagdalpur and at Kolkatta
I hereby write here all about my experience in PRACTICAL when I saw it with my NAKED eye of the unorganized sector for the FIRST time in my life. We were at a place about 35 kilometres from Jagdalpur on a market day to collect the “ KOSA ” from the tribes in the local marker What I saw was-:
1). On an average the ladies had walked on the feet to come down to the market .The minimum distance they walked was about 2 kilometres and the maximum was about 15.
2). The number of the Kosa-Cocoon that they brought in the market was between the number 5 to about 200 pieces .per woman or even by a man. THAT IS ALL .
3). I saw NONE of the women-folks wearing a pair of slipper yet their FEETS were so clean that it is indescribable for me to describe that. Inpite of having nothing these Jagdalpuri-Bastar TRIBES remain so clean.THAT WAS AN EDUCATION for me.
4). They are ABSOLUTELY LOOTED by the middleman and their holdings are seized in many cases that they bring to sell it in the market.
Pic :: A Abhujmari Bastar Tribal Girl
5). A place call KESHKAL at Jagdalpur-Bastar District and ABHUJMAR, there are TRIBES who DO NOT KNOW WHAT WATER IS.Their hairs are so long that it brushes the earth and the mud when they walk.THEY ROAM NAKED as they DO NOT KNOW what are the CLOTHES all about.
Once or twice they would come to the market ie the WEEKLY MARKET or maybe at the most FOUR times-THAT IS ALL . That figures it all. That is HOW they survive in this CRUEL earth totally EXPLOITED by the middleman who LOOT their produce or their money when they return.THAT IS THE FATE OF THESE IMPOVERISH LABOUR FORCE who at the other time work as MAIDS drawing a wage/salary per month which if the ANT sees that will say- NOT INTERESTED TO GET INTO YOUR HOUSE TO PUT MY MOUTH ON THE “ SUGAR ” THAT YOU BUY FOR YOUR HOUSE. I “ SHIT ” THAT AMOUNT WHICH EQUALS THE QUANTUM OF SUGAR THAT YOU BUY.TRUELY- this is their case. BELIEVE ME ??.
Over it there were many many and many cases where these women folks and their DAUGHTERS were EXPLOITED for satiating the LIBIDOS of those powerful men who are and were in the ADMINISTRATION of the State Government of Madhya Pradesh then as CHATTISGARH then was NOT formed.
My own Officer-On-Special-Duty Mr Sharad Mohapatra who is DEAD now , married, having TWO sons and a daughter, was involved in a PHYSICAL relationship with a TRIBAL WIDOW by the name of SHUKARWAARI as she was born on Friday. Her parents had offered her ONE – BIGHA of land and this CHIM by having a sexual relationship with that ILLETRATE and UNEDUCATED a SIMPLE TRIBAL “ SOUL” , ultimately LOST that piece of land to this ILL-CRUEL-INHUMANBEING and that now has become the PERSONAL property of the Sharad Mohapatra’s CLAN .That is how these CONGESSITE’S EXPLOIT the SISTERS of India as Mr Mohapatra was the PERSONAL ADVISER of Mr Arvind Netam who was then a Member Of parliament of the Congress from Jagdalpur-Bastar-Kanker region.
They say the BHAGWAS and the SANGHIS will DANCE NAKED in front of their SISTERS ” MUSTURBATING ” and here we see the CONGRESSMEN SEXUALLY exploiting these ladies to send them to the roads for BEGGING. That is ONE story and the PRACTICAL eyewitness that I could see during my tenure of being an ASSISTANT MANGER from 1989 to 1995 at that ORGANISATION. I just cannot explain the kind of exploitation that I was a witness to these tribe woman when I was posted at Kolkatta beween 1992 to 1995 and the various tours I had taken at the tribal places at Bihar,West-Bengal and Jharkhand to expedite my duties in the most backward places in India.
I LITERALLY fail to write and mind you Mr Lalu Prasad Yadav and Mr Jyoti Basu were the Chief Ministers of Bihar and West-Bengal then . The kind of exploitation that the RJD and the LEFT-COMMIES would do those are really INDESCRIBABLE and they say – THE BHAGWASS AND THE SANGHIS WILL DANCE NAKED IN FRONT OF THEIR DAUGHTERS “MUSTURBATING” .Simply LICKING the ARSE of the N-G-V family and their MEMBERS will only GIVE everybody a SHIT to taste BUT NEVER the REAL EXPERIENCE of LIFE .
LOVE if you have the HEART of a MITHUN CHAKRAVORTY or a DHARMENDRA. If you have it in YOU POSSESS TWO wife or as many if YOU can.Raja Man Singh whose sister Jodhabai was married to Akbar had 35( Thirty-Five) wives, but HE DID NOT USE-AND-THROW them . Mithunda and Kishoreda did have FOUR marriages in all . Dharmendra has TWO. THEY DID NOT PLAY WITH THE HONOUR OF EITHER THE LADIES OR THE SISTERS as we may like to call them BUT DO NOT EXPLOIT THESE ILLETRATE UNEDUCATED “ SOUL “ of India which DONATES about 44 CRORES per annum as INDIRECT-TAXES to these ROTTEN-INDIAN-POLITICIANS TO ENJOY their FIVE YEARS PERIOD OF TIME. THE JOB THAT THESE LADIES DO IS MILLION TIMES BETTER THAN THESE POLITICIANS HAVE DONE IN THE LAST 73 YEARS and in the FIRST of those years from 1947 to 1977 when Congress was in POWER for the FIRST THREE decades
What have these LABOURS earned in the last 73 years of the Independence of India.
I personally have been a witness when the rice was sold at Rs 1.25/Kg the milk was priced at 0=40 paisa a litre, the wheat was priced at 0=65/Kg the eggs were sold at Rs 3=00/Dozen, the sugar was sold for Rs 1=25/Kg. That is it. That was in 1963.
I now see the milk sold for about Rs 40=00/Litre the rice being sold for Rs 65=00/Kg Five Kilos of Annapurna Wheat sold for about 295=00/packet of five kilograms to say and the sugar are priced from Rs 45=00/Kgs to Rs 65=00/Kgs depending upon the quality.

I have NEVER seen anything GOOD for these labours. In 1963 when I was admitted to KG-I the maids used to be paid about Rs 1=25/month then and now we pay Rs 3,000=00/month at this stage. They are in the SAME place with the SAME problems and with NOTHING at their mercy. The labours in terms of the male also are in the same place without anything.
THE POLITICIANS AND THE POLITICS HAS “ KILLED “ THEM ALL.. In India the pity is THERE ARE SEVEN PERCENT OF HI-FI class, and those SEVEN percent also includes the politicians. The Hi-Fi along with the POLITICIANS have CRUSHED the entire FUTURE of the remaining like the CRUSHER crushes the SUGARCANE to extract the JUICE out of them.
It is thee seven PERCENT which drives everybody in this country. They will NEVER like the remaining to CATCH up to them NOT in this era but in the another 1000 eras to come. It is only the TWO-MONTHS of HELP-ME-HELP-ME-HELP-MY-PARTY cry during the elections and their all ALLIGATOR TEARS beside their “ DRAMAS ” that they do paying the visit to the temples and the mosques that the people are carried away and the various RELIGIOUS HEADS that pitches in between to help these politicians as they too fall under the Hi-Fi class aided to the UNUSUAL-ONE-ACT-PLAY that the media does for them that the Hi-Fi is really enjoying here at India OVER the MOON having the BALL and the HONEYMOON . The other remains at the places BEGGING with a BOWL for the MERCY
MERCENARIES DO NOT HAVE ANY MERCY EVEN FOR THE CURRENCY

In 1992 while performing my field duty for the TRIFED at a place at near Patna, I was in the field which grew paddy . This field was the personal property of the lkate Mr Jagannath Mshra. I saw ther labours being paid at the rate of 1=25 paise then. When enquired and when I asked WHY WAS IT THAT WAY the answer came to me was- INKO AGAR AGAY BADHAYA TOH IN KHETO MAI KAUN KAAM KAREGA, which means if we allow them to be educated and WORDLY-WISE WHO THE HELL WILL WORK IN THESE FIELD. I saw a LOT of them eating the ROOTS of the tree for their survival and a LOT would everyday extract out the roots of the TREE to eat them as their meals. DEFINIMr Jagannath Mishra DEFINITELY was from the RSS and the SANGHI who wore a BHAGWA I guess and suppose. They say the Bhagwas and the Sanghis will DANCE to the sisters and the daughters naked by mustarbating.That is the GIFT-OF-THE-CONGRESS-TO-THESE-LABOURS and they want to transship them by AMBULANCE. TO WHERE I ask- TO THE HELL IS IT.?
Final Conclusion-:
Nothing will EVER CHANGE for these or anybody who are NOT in the Hi-Fi class . There are about 20lakhs crores of various kind of schemes that is being announced by the Prime Minister.
Twenty Paise MIGHT come to the LABOUR class. The SO-WELL-ORGANISED Hi-Fi will walk away with TWENTY-LAKH-CRORES as I can visualize. There will be many FAKE companies run by a SINGLE man say TEN of such a companies all NON-EXISTING one’s but are registerd on the paper – NOT anywhere else will come and thousands of the millions of them will come to GULP these amount.
Labours will continue to WALK, to be put in the TRUCK for the truck to be turtled and DIE an UNNATURAL DEATH.
No doubt there is a POEM-:
“ And How Can A Man Die Better
Facing The “ FEARFUL” ODDS
For The Temples Of His Father
And “ ASHES ” Of His God ” ……….
Start walking a thousand of KILOMETRES by FOOT the TRUCKS, the LORRIES will put you to the TEMPLES of the FATHER and the ASHES of the GOD…….
That is India……. That was
India …… THAT WILL BE INDIA
