My Welcome Speech on Ambedkar Birthday Oratorical Competition Michigan -April 2018 AANA PASC NA combined event

Hello All ,



IN 1980 ‘s when Indians came to USA the samajas came with them , gradually the people who forms those samajas become the face of indians in USA the others are in minority and neglected

With the help of reservation and globalization , People who denied education become the first generation of people started coming to America .

Sadly ,somewhere along the line while packing their baggage with masalas , They also packed caste in all flavors and colors and brought to USA .

In the year of 2014 when the government changed in india that impact felt in USA, Suddenly there is an outburst of organizations in America that started to openly supporting caste.

Caste seamlessly Mingled among indians in America . It is in the form of whatsup groups , facebook pages and also in the name of gatherings that has the agenda as

“protecting the culture “ – in the name of culture all these kind of gathering protect is caste .

By seeing this PASC NA started one year before on the day of APril 14th with likeminded inviduals

With the thought as “if the groups promoting caste are here in North america then why cannot we have the group that opposes castesim ? “ . A Group sends the strong message to the people here - “Guys , Stop this “

It started as a whatsup group , thozars in different states of USA and Canada joined - This Group became the PASC NA (Periyar Ambedkar study circle – North America ) organization ,

In an year we certainly made our name in various protests and events . THozar Prabha will explain the timeline of activities done by PASC NA in this year .



“Men are mortal so are ideas .An idea need propagation as much as a plant need watering ,otherwise both will wither and die” –Dr.Ambedkar .

We need to keep propagate the ideas of Rationalism ,

As a natural progress the groups like PASC NA will come together with other likeminded groups like AANA and will become a strong force against caste and inequality .

This should not stop with our generation,

we need to pass this idea to our next generation

To do that, reading and knowing about the leaders will be the first step

we are here for that .





Thanks ,
