The Eternal Game of Power
-
NOTHING suits politicians and those in power more than the caste issue, a tool wielded with precision for millennia.
From ancient times to British rule, where "divide and rule" thrived on caste divisions, it has been central to India's power dynamics. In modern politics, caste equations dictate electoral strategies, with parties exploiting them for gains. The Mandal Commission's aftermath intensified this, embedding caste deeper into the political fabric. Now, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's push for a caste-based census has outmaneuvered the opposition, forcing them to recalibrate their strategies.
