Who says khaps or people are daf/blind on these problems, Please pick up any of thread on the subject, since I joined the forum, I never supported wrong orders/practices, I am also heading a khap, how can you people generalise. secondly, I do agree with dr chaudhary on most of the points, but his attack seems to be only on khap pardhans/chair occupiers, may i submit following for the considration of Dr and his learned jouree:-
1) Is khap means only pardhan and his committee members or the entire population of that gtra or area as applicable?
2) If khap managers are not doing their duties properly or giving wrong, unwanted directions, why the public is accepting such directions, who executes such directions, can pradhan or even his team execute such illegal orders ?
3) Why cannot such talebani khap leaders be remved, if khap people so desire it is not at all impossible.
4) who is mr perfact in this world, similarly khap people can also go wrong at times, thus instead of blaming a time tested good system of khap, why cannot the mistake or the person responsible, be corrected
5) who calls meeting or gethering of khap people, on whose request & as we all know well that such meetings take place in the oppen, discussions take place in the oppen, people are allowed to put up their openions/points, programmes of such meetings gernelly announced well in advance, why cannot our so called educated, learned, intelligent, urban residents whose routes are still in villages, go to such meetings & object such talebani illegal directions. My dear friends, it is very....
Sir, I really want to appreciate your effort in explaining/discussing/ the khaps BUT majority of your audience know 'everything'. Questions raised by you in your last post have been proved
futile time in other threads (for the absence of any answer from the concerned 'knowing alls').
I have ABSOLUTELY no DOUBT that most of 'these' gentlemen have never been to a panchayat, never seen how a Khap Panchayat works. Without having any iota of idea about the khap/panchyat's functioning, they label them MEAN (some go to extent of labeling them Talibani, barbaric and murderous).
Many members including myself have raised many genuine questions in support of khap system. There are many threads where these issues were discussed and some brilliant arguments were put forward by members. But none of these 'enlightened प्राणी' have given any rational answers to any of those arguments. They read what they want to read and move ahead.
After a lull of 1-2 days.. same
rhetorics about khaps.... in a different thread. One can even do "
right click+select all+Search google for ..." their post and find the "
source" of their enlightenment... news papers' comments-section.
In a jiffy they put forward the argument of 'a democratic country has no place for khaps' or 'Courts are there for resolving issues' without having any idea of kind of issues folks from villages face or kind of co-dependency prevails in villages even today.
Any argument against khap (Dalit Virdohi, poor Virodhi, women-sexuality oppression [
do not shock, many claim this]) holds true for police, courts and conventional panchayats also but only khaps are problematic (
my guess is: खाप शब्द में नाम-दोष है; two 'a's or two 'h's in the new khhaap might change the people's perception towards it).
One facet of this problem is --Though these anti- khap elements have no first (or second or third) hand knowledge of khaps (thanks to urban upbringing- their idea of village-life is mostly shaped by electronic and print media, which in turn is again बैंगन of the same बेल)-- they have good writing skills and hence influencing others (
otherwise virgins) also with their own
distorted version of khaps. On the other hand, those of us who actually know khaps are by default taken as गंवारs. Anything you put in favor of khaps is taken as an
irrational blabbering. Poor writing skills (and although true but misplaced logics on our part) does not help us either.
In my opinion, more than rural-folks, these anti-khap wagons of all ilks NEED to open their minds. Writing in english or using fancy word does NOT NECESSARILY means you are right !! Nothing wrong in warming to the idea that Khaps exist even today because they are still relevant to people.
But then: मुझे नहीं लगता की इन 'enlightened भैंसों' के आगे बीन बजाने का कोई फायदा है... आप बेकार में अपना समय व्यतीत कर रहे हैं| These
illuminatis are
cocksure about everything.
