Govt. Primary School student's Namaste to her upper caste teacher means three broken ribs for her father. Over 50 students of the Valmiki Community in Kadipur village situated next to pace city Gurgaon are boycotting their school fearing an backlash after a student Nirma Rani was beaten up last week for wishing her teacher namaste. The reason being untouchable students are not supposed to wish teachers belonging to the upper caste, as per the shastras. When Nirma Rani's father want to enquire about the incident, he was allegedly beaten up by the teachers. Satveer, father of Nirma Rani, is now in a Delhi hospital with three broken ribs. Satveer alleges that the police are defending the teachers and instead of taking legal action are pressing for compromise. Bhartiya Valmiki Dharam Samaj district president Veer Shankar Lal Kheralia said teachers address student not by names but by castes. Another students, Jyoti say, they were made to do menial tasks at school.

“Dr. BABASAHEB AMBEDKAR MOVIE, SOME DRAW BACKS :”
Recently movies on Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar has been released in all over India. Movies has accepted and vindicated by the people of all society. But peoples who studied deeply about the insurrection of Babasaheb can find some draw backs in this movies. Some events like that of Poona agreement, Chavadar Talav Movement are really shown splendid and not unwarrantable. It is really heart rending scenes. But as a matter of fact there are many events which are so important and without which no movies of Babasaheb can complete have been effected go to the backbone containing speeches of Babasaheb in world Buddhist council held at Rangoon and Katmandu, part of 'Who were Shudra's and untouchables. Insurrection of Babasaheb did opposite of castism and chaturvarna system and the like, have cut out and out. Besides some less important events which have took half or one hour shown uncalled for containing scenes while taking lunch in Britan, opposition of Paris’s and Muslims etc. in this important times many important events associated with Babasaheb should have shown which is mentioned above with the help of which other backward class peoples would realize their real history and improved their edification. Besides, world also would realize faith of Babasaheb in Buddhism.
What is more 22 ambition's which was taken by Babasaheb at the time of "Dhammadiksha" have been cut go to the backbone with the exception of three. Why these important ambitions have been effaced ? These ambition's were soul of Babasaheb. Due to synchopating these ambition's it made injustice on Babasaheb. The eduction is this movies have probably influenced by B.J.P. or Brahmnism.
