A ‘turbaned Dalit’, Channi ticked all right boxes for Cong

“一个包头巾的达利特”，查尼成为符合国大党要求的首席部长人选

NEW DELHI: When the names of Sunil Jakhar, Ambika Soni, Sukhinder Randhawa were being discussed as possible replacements for Amarinder Singh, they represented politically important social groups like non-Sikh, Punjabi Hindu and Jatt Sikh communities to balance the high profile state unit chief Navjot Sidhu who is a Jatt Sikh.

新德里：当苏尼尔·贾哈尔、安比卡·索尼、苏金德·兰哈瓦的名字被讨论为阿玛林德·辛格的可能替代者时，他们代表了政治上重要的社会群体，如非锡克教徒、旁遮普印度教和贾特锡克教徒社群，以平衡高调的邦负责人纳夫约特·西杜，他是贾特锡克教徒。

It was during the calculations on the pros and cons of these constituencies that the leadership threw a hitherto politically ignored group in the mix to expand the social basket. "Find a turbaned dalit" was the crisp demand.

正是在对这些选区的利弊进行权衡时，领导层才把一个迄今在政治上被忽视的群体纳入其中，以扩大圈子。“找一个包头巾的达利特”是他们的强烈要求。

The choices by late Saturday zeroed on either Jakhar or a "dalit" or mazhabi Sikh.

到周六晚些时候，所有的选择都指向了贾哈尔、“达利特”或马扎比锡克教徒。

And Charanjit Channi crossed the tape. Sources said only he was found in the reckoning, qualifying on the important criteria like member of the leadership group - a former leader of opposition, senior minister and also Amarinder critic.

查兰吉特·查尼成为人选。消息人士称，只有他在调查中被发现，符合重要标准——他是反对派前领导人、高级部长，也是阿马林德的批评者。

Sources said the final decision to pick Channi was of Rahul Gandhi, who has long been expressing views in favour of a dalit CM. It also had the obvious political calculation of wng over the sprawling and expectant social group in Punjab, and undercutting attempts by Akali Dal, AAP and BJP on this front, while also positioning the Congress to tap its goodwill in the rest of the country.

消息人士称，选择查尼的最终决定是拉胡尔·甘地做出的，拉胡尔·甘地长期以来一直表达支持达利特首席部长的观点。也有明显的政治算计，赢得旁遮普邦庞大而充满期待的社会群体的支持，削弱阿卡利党、平民党和人民党在这方面的努力，同时也让国大党在全国其他地区获得好感。

Channi's name apparently moved forward during the discussions held by Rahul Gandhi with senior leader Ambika Soni and the central observers stationed in Chandigarh who were also seeking the views of the MLAs.

在拉胡尔·甘地与高级领导人安比卡·索尼和驻昌迪加尔的中央观察员进行讨论时，查尼的名字显然被提到了，这些观察员也在征求议员的意见。

Having two Jatt Sikhs in the key positions of state unit chief and the CM's chair was seen to skew the political equation going into elections - a briefly held combine when Sidhu became the PCC chief recently while Amarinder was the CM.

两名贾特锡克教徒担任邦部门负责人和首席部长的关键职位，被视为在选举中扭曲了政治平衡——最近西杜成为PCC主席，而阿马林德是首席部长，这是一个短暂的联合。

拉胡尔及其家族的愚蠢奴隶，种姓主义者，镇 压他们。

Rewarding India

I thought there was no caste system in sikhism...

我以为锡克教没有种姓制度……

Guest

why can't we ban this Dalit word.... Dalits are not man made , they are also creation of God and calling any one Dalit is the insult of the creator

为什么我们不能禁用达利特这个词....达利特不是人造的，他们也是神创造的，称之为贱民是对造物主的侮辱

Paramjit Singh

I strongly oppose the word dalit. Sikhs in my state never call them dalits.

我强烈反对达利特这个词。我们邦的锡克教徒从来不叫他们达利特。

Savitha KL

Everyone including media like words like Dalit

包括媒体在内的所有人都喜欢用“达利特”这样的词

Rajniesh Rai

why do they have to choose the candidate based on their caste, why not merit. being dalit has now become a privilege

为什么他们要根据种姓来选择候选人，而不是任人唯贤。达利特现在已经有特权了

VocalForLocal

Shame that such important decisions are taken basis which religion and which caste one belongs to....

可耻的是，做出如此重要的决定是基于一个人属于哪个宗教和种姓....

Faisal Faridi

I am seeing here people were not against Sikhs earlier but suddenly they are because they started rallies against the Bjp due Farm laws...

我看到这里的人们之前并不反对锡克教徒，但突然间他们就反对了，他们开始集会反对印度人民党，都是因为农业法…

Channi will end up being a scapegoat for Congress failures in the upcoming polls. Wait and watch the chaos that will prevail.

在即将到来的选举中，查尼将成为国大党失败的替罪羊。等着瞧吧，混乱将会蔓延。

Ramnath s

For congress, caste & religion are the only criteria . No roles for Skills, honesty, hard work

对国大党来说，种姓和宗教是唯一的标准。技能，诚实，努力工作统统不需要

Sanjoy Pandey

It is really shocking to note even after loot of India for seven decades by the Nehru Gandhi, Khan dynasty family, some people still vote for them.

令人震惊的是，即使印度被尼赫鲁·甘地王朝家族掠夺了70年，仍然有人投票给他们。

N V Venkat

Rahul thinks Dalits are fools! Just because he nominated a YES man, a turbned Dalit, he thinks people of Punjab will get fooled? Congress going towards extinction in another state!! Pappu will have another failure to add in his CV, if he has one!!

拉胡尔认为达利特是傻瓜！

他提名了一个唯唯诺诺的人，一个皈依的达利特，他就认为旁遮普人会被忽悠？

国大党将在另一个邦走向灭亡！

拉胡尔的简历里又会多一个失败的地方!

Pranav Pathrikar

Channi is an educated minister. He will take Punjab to new heights. No doubt Amarinder was better

查尼是一位受过教育的部长，他把旁遮普带到新的高度。毫无疑问，阿马林德更好。

sethu raman

A Big insult to Dalits that they will vote only on caste basis and Not on merit

这是对达利特的一大侮辱，他们只根据种姓而不是能力投票

suvojit

I had no idea before this that Sikhs also have caste system.

在此之前我不知道锡克教徒也有种姓制度。

Srinivasan Narasimhan

Every party, media and intellect even after 75 years of independence still consider only caste and religion in any thing and every thing. And people are also ok in that. What a disaster

即使在独立75年后，印度每个政党、媒体和知识分子仍然做事只考虑种姓和宗教。而人们对此也接受。真是灾难！

sumant kumar

In what capacity did Mr Rahul Gandhi took this decision? He doesn't hold any leadership position in INC. This clearly indicates INC follows a dynasty, there is no de ocratic process.

拉胡尔·甘地是以什么身份做出这一决定的？

他在国大党没有担任任何领导职位。这清楚地表明国大党是一个王朝，没有民 主。

Gaana User

In congress ,high command means sonia,rahul and priyanka.all others are milling arround and aimlessly and have no ‘say’.will others be ever able to come out of the inferiority complex and break the shackles of psychological barriers of gandhi family? After this trio,perhaps vadra’s children will take over.

在国大党，最高领导人是索尼娅、拉胡尔和普里扬卡。其他人都没有发言权。其他人是否能够走出自卑情结，打破甘地家族的枷锁？在这三人组之后，也许瓦德拉的孩子们会接管。

It shows how deep casteism is rooted in politics in India

这表明了种姓制度在印度政治中的根深蒂固
