I am sure the title to this thread might sound a little radical, yet it is common knowledge that the demography of Haryana is fast changing. Our rich heritage including our land is being usurped by the state government in connivance with the builder lobby who are busy minting money turning a blind eye towards the repercussions that it would have on our community and our future generations.
The state politicians and leaders (if at all I can call them leaders as they lack any short or long term vision) are busy developing the state by building those model residential townships with swanky malls and office complexes. But my question is: FOR WHOM IS THIS DEVELOPMENT?? How many of the Haryana domicile holders own houses in these residential townships or work in those swanky office complexes.
In fact almost all the states have some or the other legislative mechanism to safeguard the interests of their people. This could be in terms of exclusion of outsiders from purchasing land in the state as is in Himmachal Pradesh or in the form of reserving a major proportion of jobs for the state domicile holders a very good example of which is Gujarat where the labour inspector verifies and ensures that Gujaratis have a sizable representation in the active labour force in the state. Where are the safeguards provided by the Government of Haryana to its people and if there are any, how actively these are being enforced by the government (by any of the political parties which has been in power).
Haryana is being bled from all the sides. As far as jobs are concerned they are being grabbed by outsiders at both the levels: blue collared as well as white collared jobs. The unskilled migrant population takes up majority of the low to medium paying jobs. The professionals from outside establish their exclusivity in the corporate arena by barring local people in employment.
Where does a Haryanvi go for a job. Earlier he at least had land to till and earn livelihood through agriculture and livestock management. But even that option is being taken away from him by the government and the land sharks who have acquired land forcefully or usurp the same by misleading the innocent and gullible land owners.
As far as education is concerned, we do have quite a few new universities which have sprung up in the near past but the level of basic education especially at the primary level has not improved much since the yesteryears.
With no proper education, negligible employment opportunities, no social security in terms of land holdings, where does Haryanvi go and whom does he look up to for direction. Certainly not the politicians who irrespective of the political party affiliations are busy making money little realising that 10-15 years down the line original Haryanvis would be in minority and the state would be ruled by a Chief Minister who would be a Bihari or a Bengali.
In fact the scene is not much different in the rest of the jat belt including Western UP, Delhi etc, where outsiders have swamped the towns/cities and permanently changed the culture of the area. A shining example of this trend is GURGAON where you have the best of residential townships, malls, office complexes in the country, yet the percentage of jats or Haryanvis using them is a miniscule minority. From the way things are unfolding, this example will be repeated in rest of the towns of Haryana like Sonipat, Panipat,etc.
Once again my question to you all: this development for whom....
