In this episode of ThePrint’s new series Versus,...
The Maratha community, which has been fighting for reservations for over 20 yrs, is demanding ‘Kunbi’ caste certificates so as to be eligible for reservation under OBC category.
Earlier studies have shown that higher the caste status, greater the subordination of women. But among Dalit sub-castes or jatis, the story is far more varied.
Sidekicks are quintessential in Bollywood, and every few years, when a star or lead shines, a filmmaker reminds us that the person next to the hero is a key ingredient in the recipe.
SEBI probe concluded that purported loans and fund transfers were paid back in full and did not amount to deceptive market practices or unreported related party transactions.
While the IAF remains committed to the Tejas programme and has placed orders for 180 Tejas Mk1A, the force is eagerly waiting for the Tejas Mk 2 version.
Many really smart people now share the position that playing cricket with Pakistan is politically, strategically and morally wrong. It is just a poor appreciation of competitive sport.
That’s the great Idea.
And All Dalits should be count as Budhist and Adivasis in Satna dharma.
Please stop Hindu imposition on Atheist and non hindus like Dalits and tribals.
And I don’t know why Burrrmans are angry in Comment Section?
They killed many Dalits becoz of Castes. I harassed becoz of my caste by my Neighbour Brahmins. Why they can’t see Dalits happy?
They should need to mind their business.
Don’t interfere
Yes Caste population will help us in various ways.
Haha thanks for acknowledging Us as UPPER. now rest my case.
Wasted 5 precious minutes for this post which doesn’t seems to be a perfect example of non-application of mind, vague, hypothetical situation and full of shit. And please try to go beyond and above caste and write something meaningful or leave the profession
Education is a great advantage some have over others; by no means an exclusive preserve, opening up to a lot of people. Inherited property, at a time when talented couples would struggle to buy a decent home at the start of their career, is another. In some professions, politics most of all, family connections help a lot. Beyond that, India is a vast ocean of opportunity. Would one say that Lata Mangeshkar and Sachin Tendulkar owe their achievements to being Brahmins ? 2. The stranglehold of caste would have been near total in rural areas, closely tied to the pattern of land ownership. As the Mahars discovered when they migrated to Bombay and other towns, generously supported by the British, who gave them access to education and later to settled jobs, moving to ar urban area is the first powerful move to break the shackles of caste. The bond between caste and profession begins to fray. 3. I have no issue with my caste being recorded in the next census. Our children would have to decide whether they are Kshatriyas or Shvetambar Jains. However, like many other liberal Indians – fortunately, no one has called me a Naxal yet – we worry at this moving back in time on so many social parameters. Issues of identity that remain part of our consciousness ought, with the passage of time, to have become less salient. The walls of each silo are being strengthened. A New India that has a lot that is ancient being restamped into its DNA.
// Let the census ask everyone their caste, and then let us know how many people list themselves casteless. That will expose the hypocrisy of the “meritorious” upper castes who claim to not have a caste. //
So if one states that they have no caste would state stop all references to caste ? I don’t know why media allows such authors to write such implausible situations which are simply useless rhetoric.
Instead the better question would be to ask what does one mean when one says that they belong to so & so caste ? Is it related to religion, social position, work, region or anything else but no the author here is only interested in painting the dominant narrative with blind spots i.e. Upper Caste = Privileged Oppressors & Lower Caste = Oppressed.
Keep going on this path & there would be no nation to fight for & no rights will survive except the one natural instinct i.e. Survival instinct.
