Reservation is not the cause of caste – it is a consequence. Without dismantling caste-based discrimination, even reservations cannot create a level playing field.

How do the top RSS/BJP leaders who took part in the Ambani family's gaudy celebrations justify their philosophy of Hindutva? How does a 'nationalist moralism' of this kind—where India's wealthiest keep feeding only the wealthy but not the poorest of poor—sustain Bharat’s human spirit?

Whatever could be the results of the election, Rahul Gandhi must pursue the socio-political reform standing by particularly SC/ST/OBCs. He has driven his reluctant party towards understanding the caste question.

The BJP has panicked after the Congress's assurance of a caste census and an increase in caste reservation.

Rahul Gandhi has repositioned his party’s ideology even while facing resistance from within his own ranks.

Congress leader Anand Sharma's recent letter to Mallikarjun Kharge opposing a caste census shows that upper caste leaders from all parties still do not subscribe to ideas of social justice and do not want to share political power with marginalised castes.

The BJP will never talk about priesthood for anyone but Brahmins.

Over the decades, Indian economists and politicians have completely ignored the agrarian classes but things are changing.

If it is serious, it must work towards allowing all castes to become temple priests and change the education system.

The time has come for Shudra-OBC leaders across the nation to unite and lead the country with positive democratic welfarism and putting a firm end to communalism in the name of OBC politics.

By invoking the spectre of Hinduphobia, are the Hindutva organisations and leaders trying to say Hinduism does not stand for human equality?

The RSS/BJP intellectuals tell us today that texts like Ramcharitmanas are mirrors of our civilisation. Then where do the Shudras, Dalits, Adivasis and women exist, except for occasional humiliation?

All Shudra and OBC leaders, in whichever political party they are, owe their political status to this great fighter.    

Since caste was around before Islam arrived, how did Muslim clerics, scholars and rulers view it? After Islam came to India, the only writer who discussed the caste question was Alberuni in the 11th century

Rishi Sunak's candidature for prime minister shows us how truly unenlightened the ‘world’s largest democracy’ is.

The future of India and its people of all castes and communities now depends on the survival of the Constitution in its present form.

If the OBCs, Dalits and Adivasis were to follow Santishree Dhuilipudi Pandit, they would have to give up the agenda of social justice and forget about the rights recognised in the constitution.

The name given to the statue is meant to mislead the Shudra/Dalit/Adivasis, who have their own spiritual symbols in Telangana and also have major spiritual icons like Mahatma Phule, Savitribai Phule & Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.

Until this point, the Congress has not allowed many leaders with mass appeal to emerge from within party ranks in the states. However, this needs to change for the sake of the party's future.
