In the US, President Donald Trump has banned the Dei (diversity, equality and inclusion) program. This program used to prevent any kind of discrimination in giving jobs.
Because of this, the job of one lakh Indians is under threat. There are a total of 32 lakh Federal (Central) employees in the US. Of these, 8 lakh employees work under the DEI program. There are about one lakh Indians of these. This includes American citizenship and work visas such as H-1B visas.
Trump wants to increase more opportunities in government and private sector jobs for white people by finishing Dei. America has 20 million white people out of a population of 35 crore. Most of them are considered to be Trump’s core vote bank. Trump promised to shut down the DIE during the election campaign.
Recruitment stopped in Dei, sent employees to paid leave The US government has stopped the recruitment in the DEI and sent the employees here to the paid leave till 31 January. Orders have also been ordered to close DEI offices in states. On 1 February, the future of the employees associated with it will be decided. A report has also been sought from all the federal offices regarding this program.
This program was started from 1960 to provide equal opportunities to all classes in employment, education and other fields. This is the then President John F. Kennedy and Martin Lu Ther King is inspired by the ideals of King Junior.
Martin Luther King Jr. was a pastor, agitator and a prominent leader of the African-American civil rights struggle. He is considered the biggest advocate of civil rights in the US.
Why Dei decided to close the program Under Dei, the US Department of Justice sees what process has been followed to hire people and is not being discriminated against. Some people allege that the rights of white people are ignored under the guise of this issue. Apart from this, Trump wants to extend more jobs in government and private sector for white people by finishing Dei.
America has 20 million white people out of a population of 35 crore. Most of them are considered to be Trump’s core vote bank. They oppose the Dei program. 12 crore white people work in government and private sectors. Trump says that he will finish the Dei and give a job on merit basis.
Discrimination with black people in the US has been a long -time dispute. However, some people allege that the rights of white people are ignored under its guise.
Prejudice can increase against weak communities According to Reuters, the purpose of this program is to promote opportunities for women, blacks, minorities, LGBTQ+ and other low -representing groups. The decision of Trump’s decision may lead to difficulties that started to eliminate prejudice and discrimination against these communities.
In the US, it is mandatory to give a job to private sector under the Dei program. After Trump’s order, Meta, Boeing, Amazon, Walmart, Target, Ford, Molson, Harley Davidson and McDonald have announced to shut down the Dei.
Only two big companies like Tim Cook’s Apple and Retail Store Costco have said to continue DEI.
