Chief Minister Siddaramaiah held a centenary celebration of All-Karnataka Yadav, Hanabar, golla sangha on April 20 in Chikkodi.

He urged community members to stay united at all costs and adopted Dr. Br Ambedkar’s principles (education, harmful and inciting their rights) to ensure full development. In fact, this should be the mantra of all backward classes in India to evade exploitation and strive to pursue a life of self-esteem and growth, he said.

The lives of leaders like Dr. Ambedkar show us that education can eliminate slavery and lead a life of self-esteem. Excitingly, the Sangha has been completed for a hundred years and has always played a role in organizing society and bringing it to the mainstream. All castes are known through their professions. Vested interests use this nomenclature to split society. The Golla community now has many sub-seeders, including Golla Caste, Kadu Golla, Adavi Golla. But they all need to develop equally, he said.

“Dr. Ambedkar said that education is essential for the downtrodden, backward classes, minorities, and the underprivileged to move towards progress. He observed that there is debilitating inequality in society. The majority are deprived of literacy. By following the Manusmriti, the four-caste system of Brahmins, Vaishyas, Kshatriyas, and Shudras was introduced in society, and the Shudras were not Given that we live in democratic welfare states, only those educated classes can be educated and progressive.

“Our government is working to build an equal society. Because of my responsibility, I have been working to provide equal opportunities for everyone. I represent economic progress in backward communities. So, I try to ensure equal distribution of wealth for all.”

CM traces the history preserved in Karnataka.

“In 1918, Nalvadi Krishnaraja Wodeyar formed the Miller Council to provide representation to various communities in the fields of government work and education. A 75% reservation was provided to non-Brahmin communities. Later, in the fields of later work and education.

Mr. Siddaramaiah shared his experience and explained the importance of education to the audience, saying that it was only because of education that it was the chief minister of Karnataka.

CM said he had received a memo from the community to form an independent development company for the Yadav community. He said a decision would be made after consulting community leaders.
