In ‘The Shudras’, Kancha Ilaiah Shepherd & Karthik Raja Karuppusamy write about the aftermath of the Mandal and the predicament of India’s productive castes.
Minas are classified as STs in the central list and are thus eligible for reservation. But Meenas have been kept out of the quota fold even though they say they are the same group.
The apex court has referred the case to a larger constitution bench, adding that the status of those who have already taken benefits of the 2018 law will not be disturbed.
It took the Supreme Court 10 years to say that an unjust order on sub-quotas needed a rethink. And then another six years for a Justice Arun Mishra-led bench to say the court may have been wrong.
Kangana Ranaut is an upper caste Indian like Shashi Tharoor, Amitabh Bachchan or Nitin Gadkari, who say they believe in a casteless society and are caste-blind.
National Law University Delhi had decided to reserve 50% of seats for candidates passing the qualifying exam from a recognised school, college or institute in Delhi.
Over generations, Bihar’s bane has been its utter lack of urbanisation. But now, even Bihar is urbanising. Or let’s say, rurbanising. Two decades under Nitish Kumar have created a new elite in its cities.
Indian govt officials last month skipped Turkish National Day celebrations in Delhi, in a message to Ankara following its support for Islamabad, particularly during Operation Sindoor.

This kancha shepherd false anti-national will criticize everything under the sun except the misdeeds of his evangelical religion, why doesn’t he write against the Goan inquisition or the cruelty of Aurangzeb.. And see the joke.. And his tiny brain.. OBCs are all vaishyas u idiot sheep not shudras.. And yes ur so called SP, BSP, RJD were violently anti-upper caste.. Family feifdoms..
Had they been truly inclusion they would have co-opted the new generation of upper caste with a nationaist narrative and the lower castes with affirmative actions..
Congress to lead a broad coalition? Impossible. Congress let down the OBC’s in academics. They were the ones who created the problem by not taking seriously the filling up of reserved posts. This problem did not happen after 2014.
