They are rooted in the objective conditions of life and respond to the deep-seated frustrations of the people with the existing social, economic and political order. Not only the Congress but the so called left parties also failed to act as a reformist force to take the society forward in this part of the country. One should not surprise, if the naxalie/maoist movement dominate this state too like the neighboring states, Bihar, Jharkand, Orisa etc.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10365519224551796769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680413965556448560.post-91519598355654482072010-05-15T23:16:59.440-07:002010-05-15T23:16:59.440-07:00It is a paradox to note that the rural rich in th...It is a paradox to note that the rural rich in this part of this country covers Haryana, Western UP and part of Rajstan , which is also socially the most backward region. This part of the country is notorious for 'Sati'( primarily in Rajastan), killing of women foeticide, child marriages, "honor killlings" etc. No social reformist movement ever touched in this regiont and this made these rich farmers to keep their authority unquestionable . The Congress party after independence lost its relevence as the post independent Congress party is led by power brokers and corrupt netas. . No serious industrialisation happened , nor any peasent or working class movement ever took place in this region. It therfore helps to breed all caste and communal forces. <br />It is also an information to me that inter gotra marriage take place in part of this region especially in Rajastan close to Haryana border(where Chotala village is situated) .A N Damodaranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17860015446831799250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1680413965556448560.post-4768166335520751192010-05-13T11:28:29.759-07:002010-05-13T11:28:29.759-07:00People/ Families these days believe in educating t...People/ Families these days believe in educating their children and they are more open to progressive ideas. People don't want to follow the diktats of the Khap Panchayats .The state government and the government at the center is least bothered about the problems faced by the common man and is unable to keep a check on the Khap Panchayats , these Kap Panchayats play with the lives of the common man.
