The newly formed Dalit Muslim-Christian Federation (DMCF) has decided to hold a public rally in New Delhi on Friday, August 31, 2007 to press its demand for Reservation for Dalit Muslims and Christians in government sector.

President of the Federation, Solomon George, said it was for the Central government to take a decision, as the Supreme Court has referred the issue to it.

It may be noted that Justice Misra Commission has recommended reservation for dalits and the Supreme Court hearing on July 19 through the Chief Justice has given Government of India eight weeks time to come before the Court again to disclose its decision on the issue.

And clearly it is in the government’s court whether to allow the reservation for dalits or not.

According to Christian Today India online news, a family who converted to Christianity in a village in North-eastern state of Manipur were told to leave the village in order to maintain the village identity as strictly non-Christian. However, the sole Christian family insists on staying on in the village.

Kaphun Malangmei and his family refused to adhere to the order from the village elders who wanted to maintain the religious practice of Kabui tribe. The elders had told the convert family that the village is meant only for those who practice an indigenous Kabui tribe religion, which is Tingkao Ragwang Chapriak.

According to the spokeman of the village elders, Malangmei family must leave the village or face the consequences and they will not be responsible any harm if it happens at all. He insists that earlier, there were converts too but have all left the village but this family is in defiant of the orders, this is disrespect of the indigenous religion and the village elders, it charged.
