You get to know your fault if someone criticizes you, and you have a chance to correct them. Give your critics shelter in your courtyard and listen to the criticism without annoyance, because critic is not your enemy, he is helping you to clean the rubbish from your life and thought processes without soap and water) By Kabir Das (Medieval Indian poet and Bhakti movement Saint) Dedicated to Bapu, BaBasaheB and IndIa’s Argumentative Tradition. Introduction “No citizen shall, on grounds only of religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth or any of them, be subject to any disability, liability, restriction” - Article 15 (2), The Constitution of India.1 India is known for its democracy. But beyond the proffered understanding of India’s political democracy, a perusal of Indian society generates a common view point that - the anathema of casteism has marred the idea justice and equality. From various episodes of social injustices to National Crimes Records Bureau’s annual statistics, the victimisation and exclusion on the basis of caste remains a glaring reality of contemporary India. Both counter factual debates and facts support this hypothesis. It remains one of the biggest paradoxes of Indian democracy. And it sustains under the belly of much magnified and dignified epithet of the ‘world’s largest democracy’. Historically, the founding fathers and mothers of India, not only shared apprehensions related to democratic institutions and its praxis; but also were fully aware of the fact that, addressing the caste issue, remained crucial towards building a cohesive nation, capable of fulfilling the needs and aspirations of a modern democratic society. The Republican Constitution of India formally through various Articles (14, 15, 17, 46 et al.), have abolished discrimination on the basis of caste. However, the canker of casteism with its vulgar phenomenon of untouchability has not only defied political and legal protections, but has also transformed itself under the new state apparatus. This phenomenon is being described in academic circles as the ‘politicisation of caste’. The atrocities that gyrate around casteism and its magnitude have shown the limitations of constitutional and legal protections. It culminates into constitutional deficit. This particular deficit has been created by 1Article 15 (2), Right To Equality (Part III, Fundamental Right). The Constitution of India, Retrieved From: https://www.india.gov.in/sites/upload_files/npi/files/coi_part_full.pdf, Date: 03/01/2017. 1 | P a g e behavioural pattern dipped into the institution of caste, which has duly blocked the constitutional morality. With the economic and political advances, caste has become more dynamic and the tools of domination and suppression have changed. Both social and political revolutions were integral to India’s struggle for independence. Social revolutions saw both reformist and revivalist movements and became the crucial part of modern India’s historical discourse. But, the whole project of social reform was either put on hold or remained secondary during the struggle for freedom. The Constitution of India, with its promulgation, duly focussed on the idea of social and economic democracies and made them the ‘prime concerns’ of the nation. Notwithstanding the ideas and vision on paper and the promise attached to it, in the post-independent India apart from some crucial social engineering projects, the whole idea of socio – economic reforms has lost its edge. Caste has not only been politicised, but has also, democratically institutionalised itself. And together they have negated and nullified the ideas of liberty, equality and fraternity which remained and remains crucial for equality and justice. Modernity and legality seem to be have been overshadowed by ‘traditional legitimacy’ of caste mindedness. Precisely, the idea of social justice and equality remains a distant dream along with victimisation and exclusion based on the institution of caste. As the source to institutions and legal protections, related to social justice and equality remains deeply rooted in India’s constitution and the present remains questionable - the past events certainly provide lessons for consideration. Several questions like, is democracy only about just institutions and power politics or is it beyond that? Is the ‘idea of India’ only about political democracy? If the founding fathers vouched for social and economic democracies, can political democracy alone become an end in itself? If the Constitution of India promised equality, justice and 2 | P a g e annihilation of caste through different tools, why does caste still persist with such magnitude?

  • Social and Political Thought of Mahatma Gandhi
    Social and Political Thought of Mahatma Gandhi During his campaign against racism in South Africa and his involvement in the Congress-led nationalist struggle against British colonial rule in India, Mahatma Gandhi developed a new form of political struggle based on the idea of satyagraha or non-violent protest. He ushered in a new era of nation- alism in India by articulating the nationalist protest in the language of non- violence or ahisma, which galvanized the masses into action. Social and Political Thought of Mahatma Gandhi focuses on the principles of satyagraha and non-violence, and their evolution in the context of anti- imperial movements organized by Gandhi, looking at how these precepts underwent changes reflecting the ideological beliefs of the participants. The book focuses on the ways in which Gandhi took into account the views of other leading personalities of the era while articulating his theory of action, and assesses Gandhi and his ideology. Concentrating on Gandhi’s writings in Harijan, the weekly newspaper of the Servants of Untouchable Society, this volume offers a unique contextualized study of Gandhi’s social and political thought.

  • Gandhi's Laboratory: the South African
    International Journal of Research in Economics and Social Sciences (IJRESS) Vol. 6 Issue 9, September - 2016, pp 1~13 ISSN(o): 2249-7382 | Impact Factor: 6.225 , | Thomson Reuters ID: L-5236-2015 GANDHI’S LABORATORY: THE SOUTH AFRICAN YEARS Biplove Kumar,M.Phil Scholar, Department of History, Sikkim University, Gangtok, Sikkim When Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi entered the field of Indian politics in 1916, he had placed his concept of swaraj upon four pillars. They were: the end of untouchability, Hindu – Muslim unity, the principle for non-violence for freedom, and transformation of villages by spinning and other self-sustaining methods. These four pillars almost covered all the aspects, which were needed by the subcontinent to unite and fight for its independence. And these then set the paradigm of the political discourse in India for at least two decades since his return to India. This paradigm, it may be stressed, was not cultivated in a day, month or year;its prologue was his struggle in South Africa where he tried to erase the hardships of Asiatic people. Twenty one years and the legacy of the foreign land led to the evolution of Gandhi’s ideas in the social, political and religious fields.South Africa witnessed the provenience of a social and political reformer. In this sense, what Gandhi did to South Africa was less important than what South Africa did to him.1Witha law degree from London,Gandhi failed to set himself up as a lawyer in Bombay; he movedto South Africa in order to establish himself as a successful lawyer.Alien environment welcomed him as coolie (a derogatory term used for Indians in South Africa then) and not as a lawyer.
