Jan Mitra Award to the muslim weavers of Bazardiha


PVCHR/JMN awarded Mr. Dilshad Ahmad, Mr. Badru Hasan, Mr. Kausar Ali, Mr. Shamsher Ali and Ms. Hasibun Nisha of Bazardeeha with“Jan Mitra” Award on Peoples’ Tribunal on the situation of Muslim Minority i.e. on 18th November, 09 for educating their children in the nastiest economic condition without any implementation of any Government Scheme and facing such as police firing and organized violence through communal fascism of Hindu fascist forces.

This initiative started after visit of three participants on the second day of Capacity Building on Writing Skill Workshop to Bazardiha to gather information and interview survivors of police firing and discuss with the community leader.

After interviewing Abdul Rahman, a survivor of Bazardiha police firing than we moved to Mr. Mukhtar Ahmad house, whose 22 year old son Mohd. Moin died with the bullet of police. After taking quick testimony of Mukhtar Ahmad, we saw his daughter Naziya Tabbasum was busy in stitching small clothes. I asked her, are you stitching cloths for your doll? she says, “no but for the practical assignment, I am studying in class VII in Jai Narayen Inter college”. Mukhtar Ahmad proudly added, “I will teach my daughter up to my strength.” Hearing the energetic statement of Mr. Mukhtar I slowly tried to pause and tried to know his view of about educating his son. They are getting education in Rastra Shramik School in Barauthi tola.

Mukhtar’s wife and son are helping hand to him and he hardly save 40 Rupees in a month to pay his daughter fees. Mukhtar is living in a rented house and took 55,000 (Fifty thousand) Rupees debt for the legal proceeding of his son case. After completion of the workshop we had sound discussion with our associates and we conclude to engage Ms. Farhat Shaba Khanam as consultant to monitor Maktab & Madarsa supported by PVCHR-SDTT and highlights the condition of education in Bazardiha. PVCHR –RCT gave legal support of 5000 Rupees.
The Survivors were not only psychological healed but also actively participate in the follow up visit of Dr. Sayeda Hameed on 19 November, 09 to Bazardeeha, which shows the community healing process and empowerment of participatory and inclusive democracy at grass root level.
