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....
