India is a great place of lands and minerals. The mother nature has bestowed a lot to every part of the county. Some of the states are bestowed with minerals while others have abundance in form of agricultural field and the sea shore too.
Now, the only statement which coincides with the Indian mentality is that Here "everyone has something for their need but nothing for the greed." With the caste system etched in the mind of every person and fighting over the petty issues has bought a bad name to our country.
The caste based system is not only prevalent in politics but starts from college and then turns into the profession. Not going into much detail, let me quickly come back to the Bokaro Steel Plant, which was a collaboration with Soviet Union and India.
Many, engineers and high officials were from the erstwhile Union of Soviet Socialist Republic, which was a major socialist country and friend of India. With, Bhumihar group taking things in their hand by the dreaded goon, disguised in the form of General Manger, in Bokaro Steel Plant. by the name of S.P. Singh. It was the time during the early 80's when the bhumihar Group was trying to carve it's own niche in Bihar politics.
With Jharkhand not yet formed as it was carved out of Bihar after 1996, Bokaro Steel City was still under Bihar. With the victory in terms of Bhoodan Movement, when there was no land return to the poor and the Dalit by the Bhumihar group, it created a narcissism form and "Hum Bhumihar Hai" was a kind of slogan for every person from the likes of Sharma, some of the Singh title holders, Pandey and Thakurs (excluding the barber clan).
Also, the 84 riots which almost shook the country to the roots has given a backfoot to all parts of Indian industries, trade and commerce. I would like to remind you here that in my earlier blog, I reminded that as my father was an employee of Bokaro Steel Plant, Steel Melting Shop- Part 2 he use to put his heart and soul into the work along with other employees likes of Garg Sir and Sodhi Sir.
With, being upbeat from the latest performance by the Sharma and Pandey clan ( who worked under the dreaded P.N. Tripathi, a local goonda cum politician ) and such other people from Bhumihar and Brahmin caste such as Tiwari group in creating the dark net against the Vaishya community with the Sardars which was the common term for Sikh in Bihar in that era.
The cake which was Bokaro Steel Plant turned out to be rather than a cow dung as much of the resources use to get distributed by the likes of S.P.Singh who can be called the chieftain of the Bhumihar clans. They have one thought in mind that since Bokaro is turning out to be a major industrial town in the part of BIHAR, it was the right time to establish their supremacy.
With people from Gujarat in which Mr. Dave who in my vague memory was the Executive Director and a person of great substance in terms of words and deeds use to face a lot of opposition by the Bhojpuri speaking clan. Now, "our plant was which every kids say fondly for the place where the father works" had Mr, Jha from Darbhanga and the other person was Mr. Giri. With my father who has a lot of self respect and a dedicated employee always use to get appreciation from his seniors and officers.
The Steel Plant has three shifts to work with, one of them was A Shift which use to be early morning, The other was B Shift for the Noon Shift and the third being the C or the night Shift. Now, on the day of 86 which was in the month of January and just after 1.5 years from the 84 riots the Steel Melting Shop-2 had serious turndown of Converter, in which the entire Steel along with the Melting lava spread all over the shop floor.
My father received serious burn and all the officers thankfully got saved. Now, to be precise the Convetrter which was a machine use to be turned by hands with great force so that the steel which formulates at a very high temperature should fall into the designated containers. If you will ask any metallurgical engineer, they will say that it operates through a click of the switch. This got introduced without any briefing to the employees who stand nearest to the melting pot of steel. Since, there is a gap between the shift which gets over ( The General shift ) which is for the Top end officers with the likes of G.M. and others.
With, still the converter being tilted by the hand, and the introductory switch in the cabin of the officers. The person who is in the headlines of this article. The Dreaded S.P.Singh, pulled down the key or the switch and thus the entire molten steel got spread. This could be said another effect on the mind of our family when my father received a 52% burn as discussed by the doctors. So, another tragedy in the span of two years and the family i.e. I along with my Mother and Sister were rushing towards Bokaro General Hospital, thankfully to see the father alive but with severe burns almost on the verge of death.
With, my mother visiting the hospital every day it took almost three months to recover from the severe burn. I don't know much names but remember that there was Mr. Ghoshal, who got admitted three days after the severe blast. as per my thoughts the Steel Melting Shop was closed for 7-8 consecutive days.( So, what made Mr. Ghoshal along with Mr. Rastogi face the burns and how they reached the hospital after 3 days.)
These are some issues which could never come out because of the high handedness of the Steel Authority of India Limited and the News agencies such as "AAJ" and "AAWAZ " which are the local news agencies in that area which never published anything in detail. It reminds me of the movie "Kala Pathhar" by "Sri. Amitabh Bachhan," which has the incident from Chas Nullah and has many person who died belonging to the coal miners community.
After, every bigger blasts in Steel Plants, there are rumours along with facts being hidden. The caste based system plays all the evil in terms of "Rajneeti" and every part of India has its own bloody supremacy due to which "Foreign Direct Investment" or the "FDI" is just the myth and an easy way out to run the dilapidated economy.
