    Wonderfully analyzed. I like "backwardness not seen as 'LACK" but it is turned into 'SOURCE' for taking state sponcered benefits. Thanq for importing true global view.

    For how long (years) will this quota system go on? Is there a time frame,, like 5,10,15etc years set... Has it improved the standard of the marganilised... If yes, then how much? Have we studied it... if the improvement is more than 25-30 ..then I am for it...... If not then we seriously need to recheck and correct the policies....

    Anhad Partap Caste is embedded in India's constitution, along with reservations. 25% of the parliament, higher education and government jobs are reserved for Dalits. No political party will dare to even attempt removing it.

    Chaitanya Ranjan ....brother , my concern is that for how long will a dalit remain a dalit.... For example mayawati was CM of UP. ..she is very rich and powerful. And still she's a dalit. When will she or other like her stop being a dalit???? IS THERE A LIMIT.... THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO KNOW..

    Anhad Partap No, there's no limit, because you can't set right a cosmic injustice, to use Thomas Sowell's phrase. In a democracy like ours, with 25% Dalit seats in the Lok Sabha, forget any review by the politicians.

    With his learning, the professor could have had greater empathy for Dalits . The Dalits have been forced to participate in identity politics because they were not allowed to define themselves for centuries.

    How do you know he doesn't? Please stop normalizing pathological victimhood and a collectivist mentality, and learn to be objective for once. If you wish for true emancipation, that is. 'Dalit' is not a community or "caste". It is a political consolidation of many communities/jatis on "caste" lines. See the irony? Many of these "backward" communities rose and fell from power and prosperity throughout history, just like the 'non-Dalit' communities. Did you know there was an extremely powerful 'Chamar' (leather-workers) ruling dynasty that lasted 600 odd years? Does your pre-digested Colonial Indology and its current avatar in repackaged West-franchised 'social science' teach you this stuff? No. Because that sort of information might make you question all that you know about these things - and truly empower you at an epigenetic, psychological level if you identify as 'Dalit'. Instead, they'll keep indoctrinating you in US/NATO deep-state generated "empowerment" programs like 'Afro-Dalit solidarity' or something, and you'll keep internalizing such disturbing intellectual & geopolitical subversion like blinkered sheep simply because it enhances leverage for your artificial political identity at an international stage. However, forget actually reading his books, one won't even hear of seminal black thinkers like Thomas Sowell, who's been exposing since the 1970s how identity politics/policies and 'minority' mobilization is little more than a special-interests (read neo-colonial) co-option tool that was carefully deployed under Cultural Marxism to keep the genuinely marginalized socio-culturally regressive, disillusioned and disenfranchised in perpetuity.

    TheReluctanTruthie This Dalit fiction is necessary to help India cope with, even forget about, the real oppression and disempowerment under a thousand years of totalitarian Islamic and British overlords. As you have noticed, Indians are not the ones to easily give up their fundamental right to be wilfully ignorant, even cussedly stupid.

    Lakhs of Brahmins and other upper castes live hand to mouth doing jobs of manual labourers, security guards, drivers, peons etc. Yet their children are denied a fair opportunity to good education and jobs due to the quota system. What empathy has any Dalit activist ever shown to them?
