On February 19, 2022, the Centre for Communication and Critical Thinking at JKLU organised a session titled “Ensuring Social Justice: Caste in Education & the Need for Reservations”. The speaker was Shri Bezwada Wilson, an activist and National Convenor of the Safai Karamchari Andolan which campaigns for the eradication of manual scavenging. He has been honoured with the Ramon Magsaysay Award and is a Senior Ashoka Fellow. The session was organised in a hybrid mode, with IM Amphitheatre being the physical venue. Over a hundred participants attended the session which included the faculty, students, staff & members of the public. Shri Wilson contextualised the theme of the session against his background and life experiences. He explained the need for social reservation while locating them against Fundamental Rights guaranteed by the Indian Constitution. He highlighted the need to encourage discussions and debate on issues of equality and justice while mentioning the role of freedom fighters and progressive thinkers like BR Ambedkar in eradicating the social evil of caste discrimination. He proposed that contemporary aspirations of citizens should be towards an egalitarian social order. This should be reflected in creation of public policies and technological innovations with a sunset clause for timely delivery of such goals. Students were encouraged to internalise notions of empathy and fraternity in their endeavours as participants of a democratic society. The evils of manual scavenging were discussed, as was the need to end such a socially debilitating practice.
