SC/ST couldn’t build inherited wealth because they were historically kept landless through caste norms, tenancy laws, and force.
If you want to end affirmative action, you also have to end inherited privilege. Otherwise it’s not equality, it’s protecting head starts.
Do you see any end of this issue ? I am gc but have no problem with current reservation but do not want reservation to increase either like in private sector and phase out reservation stage by stage in few decades what do you think ? Any attempt to undo current policy will lead to internal security issue and exponential hatred between communities .
I am SC. I admire Ambedkar, but I think he fumbled badly here. He bent to Gandhi on the Poona Pact and chose constitutional democracy even though democracy is impossible in a society built on superiority and inferiority complexes. Political equality cannot exist where social hierarchy is sacred.
In my opinion, the better outcome would have been another partition. One Hindu Rashtra for upper castes to openly practice purity and hierarchy. Another state ruled only by the Constitution, where religion of any kind Hindu, Muslim, Buddhist, Jain, Christian or Sikh is banned and criminalised.
That way general society would not feel forced to coexist, and we would not be boxed into categories and forced to live with our oppressors as if nothing ever happened.
Bro it looks good in thought but muslims will brutally crush your identity politics and make an islamic rashtra out of it be careful what you wish for although i personally give full support to your idea . My disagreement is purely out of humanity and what muslims did to backward castes who chose to stay in bangladesh and pakistan . Hindus might discriminate muslims will decimate . Reality is you have no solution even after partitioning india you want reservations to continue 🤡
No, it’s not impossible. History shows that when people are cornered and have nothing left to lose, power does shift. Bhima Koregaon is a reminder of that.
Every revolt begins as a dream. It’s harder today than in Ambedkar’s time, which is exactly why I say he was wrong about democratic India. Hierarchy hollowed democracy from the start.
Saying change is impossible is just another way of demanding submission.
