How Dalit, OBC votes could be a gamechanger in Haryana polls

达利特和OBC的选票，或决定了哈里亚纳邦的选举

Humne ke bera, humare khatir koi kade kuch na karta (What do we know? Nobody does anything for us ever). There are no jobs, no business opportunities for us. We work on other people's farms," says Manju Devi, who belongs to the Khati (OBC) caste. "My 24-year-old son is unable to get a job even after earning a degree."

“我们知道什么？从来没有人为我们做过任何事。没有工作，没有商业机会。我们在别人的农场干活，”属于OBC（其他落后阶层）种姓的曼朱·德维说道，“我24岁的儿子即使拿到了学位也找不到工作。”

Asked if she will cast her vote if there's no hope from any political parties, the resident of Dabla village, Sirsa, says: "Ib ghar beth ke bhi ke kara (What will I do sitting at home [on polling day)?"

当被问及如果投票给任何政党都没有希望，她是否会投票时，西尔萨Dabla村的居民说：“(投票日)做什么呢，我坐在家里?”

Many from the lower castes share the sense of disillusionment.

很多来自较低种姓的人也有这种幻灭感。

"We are living in our own homes like tenants. We are paying for all amenities, getting nothing from the govt," says Promila, a cleaner in Rohtak belonging to the Scheduled Caste community.

“我们像租客一样住在自己的房子里。我们为所有的设施买单，没有从政府那里得到任何东西。”普罗米拉说，他是罗塔克的一名清洁工，属于表列种姓社区。

She shows little enthusiasm for the elections. "I do not feel like voting. Neither Modi nor Rahul Gandhi cares about uplifting us," she says. Despite this, she admits, "I've always voted for BJP."

她对选举没有表现出什么热情。“我不想投票。莫迪和拉胡尔都不关心我们的生活。”尽管如此，她承认，一直都是投票给人民党。

"It is usually my brother-in-law who tells me who to vote for," adds the 42-year-old widow who like many women in the state, notorious for its patriarchal values, depends on male family members to decide her vote.

“通常是我的姐夫告诉我该投谁的票，”这位42岁的寡妇补充道。在这个以男权价值观著称的邦，她和许多女性一样，都要依靠男性家庭成员来决定她的投票。

Another OBC voter Sooraj Prakash, 38, a resident of Shahidanwali village in Sirsa, says: "We want change. Our MLA (Gopal Kanda) hasn't done anything for us. We face massive water-related issues. There has been no growth in the rural areas. Farming-related issues continue to trouble us."

另一位来自西尔萨邦沙希丹瓦利村的38岁OBC选民索拉吉·普拉卡什说：“我们想要改变。我们的议员(Gopal Kanda)没有为我们做任何事。我们面临着用水问题。农村地区没有增长。与农业有关的问题继续困扰着我们。”

These voices from Haryana's Dalit and OBC communities reflect a broader sentiment of disempowerment. While they may feel their votes don't matter, their choices are crucial. With Jat voters leaning towards Congress, and the Punjabi and Saini (OBC) communities largely favouring the BJP, those from the lower castes - Dalits and other marginalised OBCs - may hold the balance of power in deciding the state's next govt.

这些来自哈里亚纳邦达利特和OBC社区的声音反映了一种广泛的无助感。虽然他们可能觉得自己的选票无关紧要，但他们的选择至关重要。由于贾特选民倾向于国大党，旁遮普和塞尼(OBC)社区大多支持人民党，那些来自较低种姓的人——达利特人和其他被边缘化的OBC——可能会决定该邦下一届政府的权力平衡。

印度时报读者的评论：

Shirva Raghavendra

Haryana people are going to do the same mistake where Karnataka, Telangana, Tamilnadu people did & are suffering from khangress & it's allies false promises & appeasement politics. After getting central schemes implemented all over India, BJP is trying to build against 70 years of corrupt rule. God save Haryana if they opt to oust BJP this time..

哈里亚纳邦人民将重蹈卡纳塔克邦、特伦甘纳邦、泰米尔纳德邦人民的覆辙，被国大党及其盟友忽悠和折磨。在印度各地实施中央计划后，人民党正试图纠正过去70年的腐败统治。如果他们这次选择驱逐人民党，那哈里亚纳邦就自求多福吧。

When you vote on basis of caste, religion, region- don’t expect better life you will get only manipulation.

当你根据种姓、宗教、地区投票时，别指望更好的生活，你只会被操纵。

印度的又一个邦将成为垃圾邦，就像印度南部的邦一样。

I appeal to all political parties to pay attention to our country's needs. Politicians have learnt the trick of making money by entering politics, I mean by corrupt means they make money in a short period of time. With this money they fight all cases filed against them , life long. We have seen Jayalaltitha and Lalu's cases for example. Our constitution is full of holes. I appeal to all political parties to be sincere to our nation and public. Please please pay attention to control our populatio ...

我呼吁所有政党关注我们国家。政客们已经学会了从政赚钱的技巧，贪污腐败，短时间内迅速敛财。有了钱，他们就能应付所有针对他们的案件。例如Jayalaltitha和Lalu的案例。我们的宪法漏洞百出。我呼吁所有政党真诚对待国家和国民。请注意控制我们的人口…

Unfortunately the country is in a state of hopelessness. All the political parties are into dividing the people of the country on the basis of Religion, Caste and regional divide.,The Britishers were kicked out but unfortunately the rogue mentality of "Divide and Rule" still persists .

不幸的是，这个国家正处于绝望之中。所有政党都在以宗教、种姓和地区来分裂国家和人民。英国人被赶了出去，但不幸的是，“分而治之”的流氓心态仍然存在。

Nagendra

Haryanvese should be very careful whom they vote for and should see the conditions of karnataka and himachal where Congress grabed power by fake promises to there voters.

哈里亚纳维斯人在投票前要想清楚，应该看看卡纳塔克邦和喜马偕尔邦的情况，国大党靠忽悠选民夺取了权力。

每个选民都希望所有东西都是免费的，政党满足他们的要求，这个国家在许多方面倒退。

Congress wants common man to remain poor and keep begging for their needs like earlier feudal system.They won't let people think big and have self respect. If any person in this country works hard can achieve better. But psychologically their minds have not been able to come out of hundreds of years under subjugation.

国大党希望普通人继续贫穷，摇尾乞怜，像以前的封建社会一样。他们不让人们有追求，不让人们有自尊。

这个国家的任何人努力工作都能取得更好的成绩。但从心理上讲，他们的思想还没有从数百年的奴役中走出来。

People will always complain and why this focus only on Dalits? Are they the only tax payers? Like the victim syndrome of blacks , here we talk only of Dalits

人们总是抱怨，为什么只关注达利特人？他们是唯一的纳税人吗？就像黑人的受害者综合症一样，这里我们只谈论达利特人

Polarise vote on the basis of religion and get votes. This is the policy BJP has been getting vote by majority appeasement. Even recent US report confirms it.

在宗教的基础上进行两极分化投票。这是人民党通过对多数族裔的安抚政策获得选票的政策。就连最近的美国报告也证实了这一点。

Most commenters here are from the opposition funded fake name holders. The tool kit of opposition is to tell lies and lies on the basis of caste, religion, etc. Voters should be smart enough to see around them the progress and development that Vongress never did for decades.

这里的大多数评论都来自反对派请的水军。反对派的水军拿种姓、宗教等做文章。选民应该足够聪明，看到他们周围是否有进步和发展，这是国大党几十年来从未做过的。

...and you are obviously a BJP IT CELL member and so think everyone belongs to some IT CELL.

你肯定是人民党的水军，所以认为每个人都是水军。

In short, Nobody wants to work or get skills required for employment, or repay loans. Everyone wants the government to give everything free.

简而言之，没有人想工作或学习就业所需的技能，或偿还贷款。每个人都希望政府免费提供一切。

I am a bussiness owner.......none of them works......these people cannot work even a whole week.......inko muft ki aadat ho gayi hai.....same story everywhere if they work continuosly for a week......we start getting excuses.....first the birthdays then the deaths of very close relatives.......for which they would want 10 days off

我是一个企业主，员工没有工作热情，这些人连一个星期都干不到.。如果他们连续工作一周，就开始找借口.，比如过生日，近亲死亡，要请10天的假。

It seems BJP will get a shock in Haryana

看来人民党在哈里亚纳邦会受挫

Since every politician is a dacoit and wont mind selling anything for his selfish interests, I do not want to patronise anybody. There was hope from Modi. But he has also subjugated himself to caste politics. Better, send your children abroad and just forget that country will improve as it is hijacked by most corrupt vultures.

既然每个政客都是土匪，不介意为了自己的私利出售任何东西。莫迪给了我们希望，但他也屈服于种姓政治。最好把你的孩子送到国外，这个国家不会改善的，因为它被大多数腐败的秃鹫劫持了。
