ಇತಿಹಾಸವನ್ನು ಈಗ ಬರೆಯಬೇಕು
ನಾನ್ಯಾರು? ನನ್ನ ಹೆಸರೇನು?
ಹೇಳುವಿರಾ...
ನನ್ನ ಸಮಾಜದ ಹೆಸರೇನು?
ನನ್ನ ಸಮಾಜದ ಇತಿಹಾಸವೇನು?
ಹೆಸರಿನ ಗೊಂದಲದಲ್ಲೇ ಇದ್ದರೆ
ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳಿ ಇತಿಹಾಸವನ್ನು ನಾವು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಂಡಿರುವೆವು.

ಕೆಲವರು ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾರೆ .....
ನಾವು ಗಡೇರಿಯಾ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಗಡ ಆರ್ಯ ಎಂದು
ನಾವು ಗದ್ಧಿ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಬಗ್ಹೇಲ್ ವಂಶದರೆಂದು
ನಾವು ಪಶುಪಾಲರಲ್ಲಾ, ಪಾಲ್ ಕ್ಷತ್ರಿಯರೆಂದು
ಕೆಲವರೆನ್ನುತ್ತಾರೆ, ನಾವು ಕುರಿಗಾರ್ ಎಂದು
ಕೆಲವರೆನ್ನುತ್ತಾರೆ, ನಾವು ದನ-ಗಾರ್ ಎಂದು
ಕೆಲವರೆನ್ನುತ್ತಾರೆ, ನಾವು ಕುರುವಂಶಿಯರೆಂದು
ಕೆಲವರೆನ್ನುತ್ತಾರೆ, ನಾವು ಯದುವಂಶಿಯರೆಂದು

ಕೆಲವರು ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾರೆ.....
ಕುರುಬರಲ್ಲ ನಾವು ಹಾಲುಮತದವರೆಂದು
ಭರವಾಡರಲ್ಲ ನಾವು ಮಾಲಧಾರಿಗಳೆಂದು
ರಾಬರಿ ಅಲ್ಲ ರಹಬಾರ್ ಎಂದು
ಮಹಾರಾಷ್ಟ್ರದ ಧನಗಾರ್ ಅಲ್ಲ, ಇಂದೋರ್ ನ ಹೊಲ್ಕರ್ ಎಂದು
ತಮಿಳುನಾಡಿನ ಕುರುಂಬನ್ ನಾವು, ಆಂಧ್ರದ ಕುರುಮ ನಾವು.

ಮತ್ತೊಬ್ಬರು ಹೇಳಿದರು
ನಾವು ದನದ ಆಗರ - ದಂಗರ್ ಎಂದು
ಮಹಾರಾಷ್ಟ್ರದ ದಂಗರ್, ಇಂದೋರ್ ನ ಹೊಲ್ಕರ್ ನಾವು
ಭಾರತದ ಭೂಪಾಲ್ ನಾವು, ಮತ್ತು ಅಂತರ್ರಾಷ್ಟೀಯ ಶೆಫರ್ಡ್ ನಾವು

ಕೆಲವರು ಹೇಳುತ್ತಾರೆ
ಚಂದ್ರಗುಪ್ತನೇ ನಮ್ಮ ಇತಿಹಾಸವೆಂದು
ಹೊಲ್ಕರ್ ನಮ್ಮ ಅತೀತವೆಂದು
ಬಡೋದಾ ನರೇಶ್ ನಮ್ಮ ಪ್ರತಿಷ್ಠೆಎಂದು
ಹೊಯ್ಸಳ ರಾಜ ನಮ್ಮ ಗೌರವವೆಂದು

ಮತ್ತೊಬ್ಬರೆನ್ನುತ್ತಾರೆ
ವಿಜಯನಗರ ಸಾಮ್ರಾಟರು ನಾವು
ಮೈಸೂರಿನ ರಾಜರು ನಾವು, ಕುರುನಾಡ ನರೇಶರು ನಾವೆಂದು

ನಮ್ಮ ಅತೀತ ಗೌರವಶಾಲಿಯಾಗಿದ್ದಲ್ಲಿ
ನಮ್ಮ ಇತಿಹಾಸದಲ್ಲಿ ನೀರವತೆ ಏಕೆ?
ನಾನು ಯಾರು? ನನ್ನ ಹೆಸರೇನು?
ನನ್ನ ಸಮಾಜದ ಹೆಸರೇನು
ನನ್ನ ಸಮಾಜದ ಇತಿಹಾಸವೇನು?

ಹಲವಾರು ವರ್ಷಗಳಿಂದಾ....ಶತಾಬ್ಧಗಳಿಂದಾ ..... ಈ ಚರ್ಚೆ ಜಾರಿಯಲ್ಲಿದೆ
ಹೆಸರಿನ ಗೊಂದಲದಲ್ಲೇ ಸಿಲುಕಿದ್ದರೆ
ತಿಳಿದುಕೊಳ್ಳಿ, ನಾವು ಇತಿಹಾಸವನ್ನು ಕಳೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳುತ್ತೇವೆ
ಪೂರ್ವಜರು ಇತಿಹಾಸ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿದರು
ಅದನ್ನು ಬರೆದಿಟ್ಟವರು ಬೇರೊಬ್ಬರು
ಆದರೆ ಈಗ ನಮ್ಮ ಇತಿಹಾಸ ನಾವೇ ಸೃಷ್ಟಿಸಿ ನಾವೇ ಬರೆಯೋಣ.

ಬಿಡುವಿನಲ್ಲಿ, ಹೌದು....ಬಿಡುವಿನಲ್ಲಿ
ವಿಚಾರಗಳನ್ನು ಅಗೆಯೋಣ, ಇತಿಹಾಸವನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕೋಣ
ನಿರ್ಜೀವತೆಯಲ್ಲಿ ಮತ್ತೆ ಜೀವತುಂಬೋಣಾ
ಇತಿಹಾಸದಲ್ಲಿ ಕಳೆದುಹೋದ ನಮ್ಮ ಹೆಸರನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕೋಣ
ಬಿಡುವಿನಲ್ಲಿ, ಹೌದು.... ಬಿಡುವಿನಲ್ಲಿ ಇದೆಲ್ಲ ಕಂಡಿತ ಮಾಡೋಣ

ಈಗ ಕಾಲ ಬಂದಿದೆ ... ಹೌದು, ಈಗ ಕಾಲ ಬಂದಿದೆ
ಭವಿಷ್ಯದೆಡೆಗೆ ನೋಡಿ, ವರ್ತಮಾನವನ್ನು ಸೃಷ್ಠಿಸಿ
ನಿರ್ಜೀವಿಗಳನ್ನಲ್ಲ ಜೀವಂತರನ್ನು ಉದ್ದರಿಸಿ

ಬನ್ನಿ ನಾವೆಲ್ಲರೂ ಸೇರಿ ಒಂದು ನವ ನಾಡು ಕಟ್ಟೋಣ
ಅದರಲ್ಲಿ ಎಲ್ಲರೂ ಸ್ವತಂತ್ರರು ಹಾಗು ಸಮಾನರಿರಬೇಕು
ಪರಸ್ಪರ ಬಂಧುತ್ವವಿದ್ದು ಎಲ್ಲರಿಗೂ ನ್ಯಾಯ ಸಿಗಬೇಕು
ಅಂತಹ "ಅಶೋಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ" ಕಟ್ಟೋಣ
ನಮ್ಮ ಹೆಸರು ಪ್ರಜ್ವಲಿಸಲಿ ನಮ್ಮ ಸಮಾಜ ಅಮರವಾಗಲಿ
ಅರಿತುಕೊಳ್ಳಿ.....ನಿಶ್ಚಯಿಸಿಕೊಳ್ಳ​ಿ ....ಇತಿಹಾಸವನ್ನು ಈಗ ರಚಿಸಬೇಕಾಗಿದೆ.

Pl think Kuruba .. Lets build our sweet Home and banni Ithihasa rachisona...

aarakshan.. for last 60 years and before independence for thousands of years..

Do u all know who were the first people who got reservation in this country... History says it is the people who are opposing it now tooth and nail... It was the so called elite classes of Pune that asked for reservation in govt jobs during british period.. It was the so called elite classes which enjoyed reservation to enter temples, to get water from the village well, to read vedas and get education.. arjuna got reservation to study in dronacharya's public school etc etc.. the list goes on... If the so called intellectuals cant bear reservation for just over 64 to 65 years just imagine How the deprived guys would have borne the humiliation for thousands of years...pl treat reservation in totality has prakash jha dealt with reservation which was and is going on for thousands of years if not .. then he is distorting facts and trying to show one face of the coin instead of both .. Reservation prior to independence is as imp as reservation after independence....



British started to rule India with the all the administrative staff from England. In 1859 Brahmins demanded posts in administrative staff, for which they demanded educational facility also. Thus Brahmins of PUNE- Maharashtra is the first community who got the benefit of RESERVATION in India. Then Mahatma Jotirao Phule, the father of SOCIAL REVOLUTION (As referred by Dr. Ambedkar) of India demanded caste wise REPRESENTATION and SHARE in employment. Phule commented on the prevailing structure of the administration by saying that, SATTA TUZI RANIBAI, JIKADE TIKADE BRAHMANSHAHI. (Under the rule of QUEEN, every where there is BRAHMIN RULE) He demanded social justice saying, JAT-JATICHYA SANKHYE PRAMANE, KAME NEMA TI; KHARI HI NYAYACHI RITI. (Employment proportionate to Caste, there TRUE JUSTICE prevails) Mahatma Phule (Mali-OBC) is pioneer of CASTE WISE SHARE/REPRESENTATION MOVEMENT in India.



what an irony the people who enjoyed reservation for thousands of years ae now against it... They even enjoyed reservation to serve God... but now cant bear resevation for last 60 odd years.. This is hypocracy at its heights..

kuruba - ST status...

Social and economic condition of kuruba as a whole can be bifurcated into 3 types 1. Rich and affluent
2. middle class,educated,working class, small farmer
3. uneducated,marginal farmer,sheep rearing wanderer,wandering tribe.. Innocent kuruba especially of north karnataka...

Now if u look at the 3 groups the rich and affluent consists of less of 5 % of the kuruba and the middle class,educated,employees,small​ farmer consist of about 15 to 20% of the Kuruba and the underprivileged uneducated, marginal farmer, sheep rearing wanderers constitute to around 75 to 80% of the Kuruba... Kuruba community is one of the lowest literate community in karnataka and India.. We have exposure with the first group and little exposure with the second group too and hence feel that kuruba is well off But Out of sight.... is Out of Mind 3rd group the major chunk of kuruba are the most under privileged people in karnataka and India.. Today even if u take dalits the three groups exist within them too but still they have constitutional protection for them in jobs and education...

The 75 to 80% kuruba social,economical,educational conditions is very bad and are not getting the due attention that is needed for them to get into mainstream and Our community as a whole does'nt have capabilities to take care of our brothers n sisters by ourselves too without constitutional intervention since we dont have enough political empowerment..

Hence if we exclude the first 2 groups of our community and in the interest of the 3rd group which is underprivileged it is imperative that we all fight for ST (Schedule Tribe ) status for Kuruba ... Few positive indicators are there where in if we fight for it there is every possibility that ST status can be given to Our community and that will lead to overall development of our people who are under privileged.. Hence Kurubara Sene has to think of How we can be a pressure point by taking this issue forward to see that the underprivileged rural kuruba benefit..

Kurubara Sene will be actively involved in taking this issue forward in the best interest of our community..

Jai Kuruba .. Jai kurubara Sene....

Kuruba- an Identity

ನನಗೇನಾದರೂ ಹೆಸರು ಅಂತ ಇದ್ದರೆ ಅದು ಕುರುಬ, ನಾನು ಕುರುಬ ಆಗಿರುವುದರಿಂದ ಅದರ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಹೆಮ್ಮೆ ಇದೆ, ಅದ್ದರಿಂದ ನನಗೆ ಹೆಸರಿನ ಅಗತ್ಯ ಇರುವುದಿಲ್ಲ ಕುರುಬ ನನಗೆ ಗುರುತು ಆ ಗುರುತನ್ನು ಹಂಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವವರು ನನ್ನ ಹೆಸರನ್ನು ಸಹ ಹಂಚಿಕೊಳ್ಳುವವರು .. ಜೈ ಕುರುಬ...


If i had a Name it would be 'Kuruba', Since i am a proud Kuruba, I dont need a Name " Since Kuruba is an Identity for me and all who share that identity share My Name.. Jai Kuruba....

Kuruba- the catalyst

Kuruba should be the catalyst in consolidation of Ahinda.. Since Kuruba means trustworthy and all communities trust Kuruba every kuruba should try to bring other OBC/dalit/minorities within their sphere of influence like near your House or office etc and educate them i.e ahinda to consolidate to empower ourselves politically.. Then Kuruba will be seen as a leaders by all Ahinda communities .. Then we grow Socially and when we grow we should take all communities along with us and not make them followers.. They should feel that Kuruba have empowered them unlike other dominant communities who use them to get political mileage.. Lets all try this in a small way in your surroundings..

jai kuruba .. Jai Ahinda... Jai kurubara Sene....

Kuruba/dhangar/shepherd/OBC/Ahinda.... Getting out of Inertia

Kuruba/dhangar/shepherd/OBC/Ahinda.... Getting out of Inertia
  Today when u look at all the communities.. The Dominant communities have consolidated themselves and are in the forefront in every fields and the receiving or deprived ones the Dalits and minorities also have consolidated since they have been exploited enough.. and the sheer exploitation and oppression have forced them to Unite and today they are more politically more mature than the OBC.. But the irony is we the OBC are not as politically mature and have to consolidate since we form more than 50% of Indian Population.. When I ponder why we are so insensitive to Unite..one of the reason may be we have not been exploited enough.. But we have not been exploited enough by the so called Upper castes since they use us to suppress the deprived Ones i.e the dalits/minorities.. At the same time they dont allow us to grow also since if we grow in stature we will question them.. This not allowing us to grow is more dangerous than suppresing us since silently they willl be killing us and we never know it.. we feel they are our friends but in hindsight they are'nt... Hence we are being used by the ruling classes as guinea pigs for their experiments of exploiting the deprived communities.. We are into a state called Inertia where we neither grow nor degrow.. That poison is put into OBC by the so called elite ruling classes into our veins.. They Use us when it is of use to them and when our usefulness is over they give a dose of drowsy poison into our veins and make us sleep.. Hence friends Understand the real motive of the so called elite classes .. get out of the shackles.. Understand yourselves better.. get out of inertia.. for inertia leads to complacency.. which we OBC are right now in.. Thats the reason precisely why even if u look at the bureaucratic or political hierarchy also u find lot of OBC in middle level positions like clerks/acountants/teachers/nurses/etc but when it comes to higher positions like IAS/IPS/KAS/class 1 and class 2.. u find very few again the concept of inertia.. happy to be there creeps in.. Same is with politics we are there as councilors,coporators,ZP,TP but when it comes to MLA and MP the elite classes give us the injection to our veins to be silent... Hence friends jago... OBC (kuruba) .. jago.. Pl understand that a day will come when we will get addicted to this state of inertia and our political masters will be happy to play with us in that state of Mind.. Dont be complacent for As Ronald Reagan rightly said “Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”... similar is community development.. Hence we OBC(kuruba) should unite among ourselves but also help consolidate Ahinda to get political empowerment for all deprived communites.. There is a difference between existing and living and lets all start living and i know living comes with a little sacrifise but that sacrifise is worth it since it is living with dignity.... Lets Unite & Lets LIVE.. Jai Kuruba.. jai OBC.. Jai Ahinda.....

Community & Politics.. Political power the key to community development

Every community should be politically aware.. But i see We Kuruba shy away whenever someone tries to consolidate community to get political empowerment for the community.. The reason for this may be many... If I write anything which is political in nature.. few of our own feel uneasy about it.. I really am amazed and some time feel that i am fighting a lone battle.. But deep within i know i am educating my community against political exploitation.. may be few feel we have not been exploited enough.. hence this indifference... But i feel it is ignorance of few within... The day is not far off when we will be totally politically exploited.. When we say political empowerment for community it means positions of power for members of our community and then the persons who occupy those positions of power inturn give it back to the community since the community United and brought those persons Power.. So if few community guys can consolidate community along with few other friendly communities like Ahinda there is nothing wrong with it.. If our community guy grows politically we all have to be happy for it... Enough of we supporting others lets be mature and start supporting enterprising guys/gals from within community who have leadership skills to lead the community from the front.. Whether they succeed or no only time will tell.. But we as a community has to support such people and not criticize them that they are mixing community with politics. Community and Politics go hand in hand... Political Power is the Key to Community development .. the faster we understand the faster we grow... So if we discuss political strategy in community forums its not a SIN ... So guys who still are of old school of thought have to come out of their shell and understand dynamics of community development of the 21st century.. We should not feel shy to discuss politics since it is going to determine our place in the coming years and our future generations will question us if we dont do our part in protecting the interest of our community poltically...

Every one talks of community development.. But no one knows How.. But when Someone tries to give an answer to the question How?? Our own people and the irony is the most educated ones back away and criticise.. If we dont discuss community politics and strategy in Our own forum. should we discuss it in other community forums.. My question is whom are we fearing for... Why should we fear???? Why should we fear to educate our own community people about strategy to bring more political power to our community and that too in our own Community forums....

I am ashamed to be part of that community forum of ours where we have to fear to write or educate our own community members regarding what is good for us kuruba politically... every one wants to enjoy political power but no one wants to work towards getting that for our community.. Everyone wants to comment as if they are philosophers that Kuruba dont Unite. There is no unity in the community. but my question to them is By uniting what do u want to do.. yes tommorow all kuruba unite .. then what next.. is the question i want to put to all so called community thinkers who dont want to mix community with politics.. Lets be frank and have the guts to tell.. Yes we all will Unite and by our Uniting we all will vote Our community guys to Power.. Is there anything wrong in it... I feel No... But why we are afraid and afraid of whom.. The great babsaaheb Ambedakar also saaid that political power is the Key to community development.. jago..kuruba..jago...
