🚨 Casteism in Cremation: Segregation of Dead Bodies in Cremation Grounds | #CasteReview | #PolicyReview
⚠️ #PolicyProblem: Caste-based Segregation of Dead Bodies in Cremation Grounds
🔴 The common cremation grounds have multiple spots, sheds, or pedestals where funeral pyres are burned.
🔴 The state policy of providing multiple cremation spots, sheds, or pedestals was originally intended to accommodate situations where multiple bodies needed to be cremated simultaneously.
🔴 However, this policy has inadvertently created a loophole. Perpetrators have exploited it by reserving specific spots, sheds, or pedestals for particular castes, effectively segregating dead bodies by caste.
📄 #PolicyProposal: Caste-free Cremation Token System
🔴 During the pandemic, a large number of dead bodies needed to be cremated. We observed that caste-based segregation of the dead was disregarded, as people had no time to inquire about a person’s caste.
🔴 The cremation grounds used a token system to allocate time slots for cremation. This system demonstrated a caste-free approach to cremation.
🔴 Therefore, we propose the policy of a Caste-free Cremation Token System to allocate cremation spots, sheds, or pedestals through randomization.
🔴 The randomization process will ensure that individuals cannot predict in advance which cremation spot, shed, or pedestal will be assigned to them.

⚠️ #PolicyProblem: Caste Prejudice from the Officer-in-Charge of the Scheme
🔴 Assigning an officer from the so-called upper-caste community to oversee the Scheme and expecting an impartial evaluation of applications is unrealistic.
🔴 This renders the entire implementation of the Scheme susceptible to caste prejudice. Such prejudice becomes more apparent when successful applicants are required to visit the MoSJ&E in person for physical document verification.
🔴 Reports indicate that officials often pose difficult questions to the applicants and scrutinize trivial details in the documents, seemingly in an attempt to find reasons to reject the applications.
🔴 Caste prejudice remains a persistent reality, and to combat it, officers responsible for implementing laws and policies designed for specific communities should preferably be selected from those communities.
📄 #PolicyProposal: Appointment of Only Scheduled Caste Officers as the Officer-in-Charge
🔴 The Scheme should include a provision mandating that the officer-in-charge of its implementation is preferably appointed from officials belonging to the Scheduled Castes community.
🔴 The term used in the fine print of the Scheme should be “preferably” rather than “compulsorily,” to ensure compliance with constitutional provisions and avoid the risk of being struck down by the Courts.
🔴 In practice, however, the MoSJ&E must make every effort to ensure that the appointment is, in effect, always made from officials belonging to the Scheduled Castes community.

⚠️ #PolicyProblem: No Provision for Training After Completion of the Course
🔴 Student visas generally allow students to gain practical professional experience after completing their academic programs, enabling them to complement their academic knowledge with practical skills.
🔴 This professional experience in a foreign country becomes immensely valuable for securing employment back home in India.
🔴 However, the Scheme does not permit applicants to stay beyond 30 days after completing their academic program, even if they are willing to finance their extended stay for practical training themselves.
🔴 The mandate requiring applicants to stay in India for at least one year after completing their academic program and seek opportunities to serve in the Government of India is highly problematic.
🔴 On the one hand, the government prevents applicants from gaining practical professional experience abroad, and on the other, it forces them to return home, stay for one year, and fend for themselves in finding any opportunity to serve the nation.
📄 #PolicyProposal: Practical Training After Completion of the Course
🔴 The Scheme must be amended to allow applicants who wish to gain practical professional experience after completing their course to do so, provided they undertake to cover their own expenses during the extended period.
🔴 Only those who do not wish to extend their stay for gaining such experience or who decline to bear their own expenses for the extended period should be required to return to India.
🔴 The Scheme must be amended to mandate that the MoSJ&E provide support to scholars in identifying or securing opportunities within the Government of India after completing their course and gaining practical professional experience.
🔴 A dedicated scheme or program should be established to appoint these scholars to newly created temporary positions within various Central Government departments for at least one year, enabling them to contribute the knowledge and skills acquired during their stay abroad toward the nation's development.

⚠️ #PolicyProblem: Insufficient Maintenance Allowance
🔴 The Annual Maintenance Allowance is typically spent on housing and food. This amount, as outlined in the Scheme Guidelines, has remained unchanged for more than 10 years.
🔴 The Scheme has failed to account for inflation and update the allowance during this period. Instead, the same amount is proposed in the budgetary allocations year after year.
🔴 The average cost of housing and food required to complete one academic year abroad far exceeds what the Scheme provides.
🔴 This insufficient maintenance allowance is the primary reason why many applicants choose not to apply for the Scheme.
📄 #PolicyProposal: Maintenance Allowance as per University’s Cost of Attendance
🔴 The Scheme must be amended to provide for the actual cost of maintenance to be incurred by an applicant, based on the official cost of attendance provided by the university where the applicant has secured admission.
🔴 Instead of offering a uniform average maintenance allowance to all applicants, the allowance should be linked to the specific university.
🔴 Universities are located in different cities, each with its own cost of housing, food, utilities, and other expenses.
🔴 This approach would prevent applicants from taking on hefty loans to sustain themselves before embarking on their academic journey abroad and would make the Scheme accessible to the poorest of the poor, rather than only the relatively well-off.

⚠️ #PolicyProblem: No Advance Payment for Visa and Air Ticket
🔴 The scheme requires an economically weaker student, particularly from a socially backward community like the Scheduled Castes, to pay for her visa and air ticket upfront, only to claim reimbursement from the Indian Mission abroad after submitting her university joining report.
🔴 This is a textbook case of bureaucratic red tape and harassment, forcing financially constrained applicants to deplete their personal savings despite having secured the scholarship.
🔴 It appears the scheme is tailored for the relatively well-off, rather than the poorest of the poor.
📄 #PolicyProposal: Advance Payment for Visa and Air Ticket
🔴 The Scheme must be amended to provide an advance payment of a nominal or average amount to successful applicants to cover expenses for visa fees and air tickets.
🔴 If an applicant incurs higher costs, the difference can be reimbursed, and if the applicant spends less, the difference can be deducted from future payments.
🔴 Alternatively, the MoSJ&E could offer an in-house service to assist applicants with visa fee payments and air ticket bookings.
🔴 While this approach may be slightly more cumbersome, it would ensure that the Scheme is accessible to the poorest of the poor and not just the relatively well-off.

⚠️ #PolicyProblem: Requirement of an Unconditional Offer Letter
🔴 Different universities have varying criteria for issuing offer letters. Some provide completely unconditional letters, while others attach specific conditions.
🔴 Certain universities impose conditions on their offer letters beyond just financial requirements, the fulfillment of which may require additional time.
🔴 The fixed deadline of March 31 leaves no opportunity for applicants whose universities need extra time to provide an unconditional offer letter.
📄 #PolicyProposal: More Time to Provide an Unconditional Offer Letter
🔴 The Scheme must be amended to provide applicants with more time to submit an unconditional offer letter.
🔴 A grace period could be granted for its submission, or the application deadline could be extended from March 31 to April 30.
🔴 This adjustment would allow applicants to include universities that issue offer letters in April, thereby expanding the pool of eligible candidates.
🔴 This change could be facilitated by reducing the time taken by the MoSJ&E to process applications and announce results.

During #Hackathon, teams were given 24 hours to analyse the #policyproblem, identify the root causes & present a solution. The campus was kept open all night with an endless supply of chai & pizzas (both on the house, of course)!

"As the saying goes, if you give a man a hammer, everything looks like a nail. In India, our solution to any problem is to give an undertrained man a lathi. Every problem is bound to look like one which can be solved by beating someone up."
#Policyproblem #policereforms
A police force exists to protect the life, liberty, and property of every citizen and to uphold the rule of law. However, there are policy problems that stop the police from performing their rightful duty.

Das was wir in Washington D.C. sehen ist das vorläufige Endergebnis des #Polizeiproblem|s welches durch das #Policyproblem verursacht wird.
Natürlich sind rassistische Chatgruppen, #Polizeigewalt etc. Skandale. Sie sind aber auch Zeichen! Zeichen dafür, dass Politik versagt
