What do we mean by Backward Classes and minorities?
PAGAAM is a non Political, non Religious, social organisation of oppressed and exploited Indians (Backwards and Minorities). It is to creatThe term Backward has reference in the article 16(4) of the Constitution of India. S.C., ST. and O.B.C. have been jointly referred to as Backwards because historically they are the people of one class only. All the castes, falling in these categories, are backward, but the degree of backwardness varies. This is due to the doctrine of graded inequality, professed by Brahminism. The Scheduled castes, Scheduled tribes and Other Backward Class people are well aware that they all are suffering due to caste discrimination and historically they are one class of people.
As far as the term Minority is concerned, it refers to the religious minorities. Social scientists have proved that during the course of history some of the present day S.C., ST. and O.B.C. got converted to different religions at different point of time. These mainly include Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and Buddhists.

What is the relationship of Pagaam with other social organisations working for Bahujans?
PAGAAM would support any organistion or activity working to further the cause of Bahujan Movement and spreading the Phule Ambedkarite ideology. If they are working towards this goal, PAGAAM’s work is made easier

There are so many social organisations in the country? Is this not a problem.
PAGAAM believes that social organistions like PAGAAM are schools which provide social education to the society which is not taught in the present educational system. Our field work shows that there is acute shortage of such schools in India as most of the even educated employees have been untouched by any such school. Though PAGAAM is working to reach all but has not been able to do so. Accordingly, we believe that more social organisations working sincerely is required. However, there is need to have same syllabus and textbook for all social schools for which PAGAAM is working

So many organisations and people have betrayed us in past. How do we believe in Pagaam?
The bitter fact is that we have betrayed such organisations and people. We do not associated fully, our following
of the ideology is shallow, we have no authority. So the person flies when gets opportunity. If we are deep
rooted, we can not allow such people to get away as we can tell such people authoritatively.
Hence, our advise to people joining Pagaam is to associate fully with the ideology, so that if the leaders deviate
from the path you can direct them with authority.
