Hardik Patel joins a list of demagogues in the subcontinent who pick up an ethnic, religious or caste group’s grievance and build it into a persecution complex.
Wasseypur, immortalised in Anurag Kashyap's violent two-part epic, is now more or less subsumed by the expanding coal town of Dhanbad, and located in...

Patels are one of the richest communities around. Demanding reservation is shameful for them. Rightminded Patels should come forward and boycott this Hardik Patel who is playing politics over dignity of Patels.
