इतिहास में
राम मनोहर लोहिया
1910–1967
समाजवादी सिद्धांतकार और सदन में नेहरू के सबसे तीखे विरोधी। मंडल से दो दशक पहले पिछड़ों, दलितों, आदिवासियों, पिछड़े अल्पसंख्यकों और महिलाओं के लिए हर पद का 60% माँगा, और 'अंग्रेज़ी हटाओ' व चौखंभा राज की चार-स्तरीय कल्पना उसी दिल्ली के सामने रखी जो दोनों चलाती थी।
बीच से सबसे दूर मान्यता पर — समूह-आधारित उपाय की तरफ़।
ये कहाँ खड़े हैं
राम मनोहर लोहिया सातों पैमानों पर, एक छोर से दूसरे छोर तक।
रिकॉर्ड, पैमाने दर पैमाने
हर जगह इस आधार पर तय हुई है कि क्या कहा और क्या किया गया — घोषणापत्र, क़ानून, सरकार चलाने का रिकॉर्ड — और उन्हीं सवालों पर परखी गई है जो यह क्विज़ पूछता है।
सबूत का हवाला अंग्रेज़ी में
His 1963 'teen anna versus pandrah anna' attack in the Lok Sabha put mass destitution against planning-era spending, and the Socialist programme demanded free universal education, guaranteed irrigation and a ceiling on income differentials
A declared socialist who wanted key industry in public hands, but his 'small-machine technology' and decentralised agro-industrial units rejected both big private capital and Soviet-style state monopoly; he was consistently protectionist against foreign capital
The Socialist Party adopted his vishesh awasar plan at its 1959 conference — 60% of posts for backward castes, SC/ST, backward minorities and women of all castes — followed by a seventeen-point anti-caste programme (1962) and the roti-beti campaign for inter-dining and inter-caste marriage.
Read Gandhi's assassination as a war inside Hinduism, liberal against fanatic, not a Hindu-Muslim quarrel, and pressed both communities to rethink eight hundred years together — while anti-Congressism put socialists into 1967 coalitions with the Jana Sangh, and he wrote of Ram, Krishna and Shiva as the Bharatiya spirit.
Made satyagraha his method and was jailed repeatedly for it — 1940, 1944 (Lahore Fort), 1950, 1954, 1957, 1960; his 1963 Sapta Kranti lists protection of private life against unjust encroachment and the limitation of arms among its seven revolutions.
Gender equality is the first of the seven revolutions; he read Draupadi against Savitri as the model for women, campaigned for inter-caste marriage as the test of anti-caste conviction, and attacked ritual and priestly authority
Chaukhambha Raj gave village, district, province and centre sovereign powers in their own spheres — the most developed decentralisation scheme of his generation — cut against by Angrezi Hatao and his Hindi promotion, the Centre's side of this same argument.
