What has Sachin Pilot done for Dausa?

Go to Dausa, Rajasthan and see for yourself. My wife and I did go to Dausa on November 14, 2006. We were shocked to see the state of Dausa, the city and the district. It could be located in a country like Somalia; you wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Sachin Pilot is the Member of Parliament from Dausa constituency in Rajasthan, India. What has he done for Dausa in the last five years? The simple answer is nothing! This guy is a dandy like Shivraj Patil (former Home Minister) and is good for nothing. He is now contesting from Ajmer, Rajasthan and chances are he might get elected. This is the tragedy of India. A US educated, articulate and English speaking young MP is too busy enjoying a cushy and comfortable higher-middle class lifestyle in Delhi to bother about some poor and wretched folks back home in Dausa. These characters must be exposed to the people by our equally docile media.

Sachin Pilot is the son of late Rajesh Pilot (Rajeshwar Prasad Singh Vidhudi) a major Gujjar leader. Sachin was born on September 7, 1977 as Sachin Prasad. His last name changed to Pilot when he was only 3 years old. Sachin went to Air Force Bal Bharti School in New Delhi. He is a graduate of St. Stephens Collage, Delhi University as well as Institute of Management Technology (IMT), Ghaziabad. He worked for General Motors in the United States after which he attended Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Sachin’s father Rajesh Pilot died in a car accident near Jaipur on June 11, 2000. Sachin Pilot returned to India and joined the Indian National Congress as a replacement to his father. He was elected to the Lok Sabha from Dausa Parliamentary Constituency of Rajasthan on May 13, 2004. Sachin became the youngest Member of Parliament in the country. He married Sarah Abdullah (daughter of Farooq Abdullah) in a Hindu ceremony on January 15, 2004.

Sir David Frost talks to – Sachin Pilot – 13 June 08

The Gujjar community in India is classified by the government as OBC, or Other Backward Class. But the Gujjars want to be relegated to one of the lowest castes so they can gain access to better jobs and education. While the Hindu caste system has been officially abolished in India, it remains a powerful influence.
Sir David is joined by Sachin Pilot, Member of Parliament for the town of Dausa where 20 Gujjars have already been killed. Pilot says that while violence has ceased, the situation is still precarious.
