In Karnataka school, every day she writes in midday meal diary: ‘No one ate today.'
Radhamma is a Scheduled Caste, and the condition that she not make food is the only way she can retain her job of head cook at the Government Higher Primary School in Kagganahalli village in Kolar district of Karnataka. In January 2014, there were 118 students at the school, from Classes I to VIII. Since her appointment in February 2014, 100 have left. The remaining 18 continue on the condition, laid down by their parents, that Radhamma not make the mid-may meal.
It earns her Rs 1,700 per month, but every paisa counts for her family of seven persons belonging to the Adi Karnataka caste.
The only reason being that she's been termed as a dalit. And we've kind enough to let her feel and show where she belongs. Its just one incidence, there are countless. Maybe its our so called ancestral traditions and customs that have kept us bound. Whats the use of such traditions where we can't give respect to fellow human?
Prove me wrong, anyone?
Incredible India!!
I stand with Radhamma and if i get chance i'll surely eat the food she makes.
