‘BAMCEF’ is working since 1973 and is known to Mulnivasi Bahujan Samaj as an organization of the educated employees from the Scheduled castes, Scheduled tribes, Other Backward Classes and the Converted Minority communities. ‘BAMCEF’ word is an abbreviated name of the organization. The various letters in the abbreviation stand for different words like: B – stands for Backward which includes S.C., ST. and O.B.C; A- stands for And; M- stands for Minority; C- stands for Communities; E- stands for Employees and F- stands for Federation i.e. Backward And Minority Communities Employees Federation. Thus BAMCEF derives its meaningful name from the long form – The All India Backward (S.C., ST., O.B.C.) and Minority Communities Employees Federation”.
HistoryEdit
The term Backward has reference in the article 16(4) of the Constitution of India. The S.C., ST. and O.B.C. have been jointly referred to as Backwards because 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 -the original inhabitants of this land.
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 Mulnivasi (indigenous people) of India i.e. 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. It is for this reason that we have decided to organize employees from S.C., ST., O.B.C. and Converted Minority communities. The organization was registered in the year 1987 with the Registrar of societies, Delhi under registration No. S-17809.
