Caste politics is being reinvigorated by actors who traditionally opposed it

The BJP is implementing it at the time of candidate selection and in expanding caste-based reservations. The judiciary is making it easier by relaxing aspects of past jurisprudence.

In the last Lok Sabha elections, the BJP factored in caste as a major variable in its candidate-selection.


The reservation question is back in the Sangh Parivar. A few days ago, RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat called for a “conversation in a harmonious atmosphere between those in favour of quota and those against it”: “Those who favour reservation should speak keeping in mind the interests of those who were against it, and similarly those who opposed it should do vice versa,” he said. It seems that the conversation should take place first within the Sangh Parivar, where everybody does not seem to be on the same page on caste-based reservation.
