On The Violence in Rajasthan

Reality Check asks,

What if the Gurjars demands are actually just ? What if data had been collected and it showed that they were indeed pushed out by inclusion of other powerful communities in the OBC list ?

Worse still, what if there exists hundreds of other smaller communities who do not have the numbers to stage a protest of this scale ? Is it their fate to sell pots and clay statues beside highways and living like nomads in tents ?

Just a quick question. How come all racists have this kinda brotherly feeling for each other? Add barbarindian as a follow up to this post. It will then complete the collection.

Krish,

I cannot answer a question you direct towards yourself.

Still, thank you for your comment.

And a quick question. When was the last time you composed a sentence without the word ”racist”? Kindergarten?

I think the issue of being a SC /ST or for that matter a backward class is so politicised that its actually being viewed as something to be in awe of. I mean for poor people this is a ticket to reprieve. They believe that there chances increase to get a job or education in the current scenario, where otherwise they would be incapacitated , looking at their present sources.
On the other hand the politicians , have created a mess , just like always and poor janta have to bear the brunt.

One day hopefully we will eb able to channelise our energies that emanated from discontent and actually be able to collectively use them to change this exploited face of democracy in our country.
