The virus causes respiratory diseases in human beings from common cold to more rare and serious diseases such as the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), both of which have high mortality rates (WHO 2020). The UN Secretary General described it as the worst crisis being faced by mankind since World War-II. It may lead to enhanced instability, unrest and enhanced conflict (The Economic Times, April 1, 2020). There is a high risk associated with this disease as it is highly fatal and contagious.

    Nitish Kumar's Honourable Exit: a Brief History of Caste Politics

    ISSN (Online) - 2349-8846 Nitish Kumar's Honourable Exit: A brief history of caste politics AWANISH KUMAR Vol. 48, Issue No. 26-27, 29 Jun, 2013 The author would like to thank Saumyajit Bhattacharya and Chirashree Dasgupta for discussions on the issue. Awanish Kumar ([email protected]) is at the School of Development Studies, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai. Nitish Kumar’s exit from the NDA maybe an honourable one, but he will have to shed his neoliberal “developmentalist” leanings if he wants to fight the feudal and communal forces that have taken root in Bihar. This article presents a brief history of the politics in Bihar that have led to this break between Nitish Kumar and the BJP-led NDA. The exit of Nitish Kumar from the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has raised many interesting questions about Indian politics lately. The idea that Nitish Kumar decided to break away from the NDA owing to constraints of his carefully engineered Muslim “vote bank” has emerged as common sense. However, this is only partly the case. The deeper reasons for his exit from NDA have to be sought from politics in Bihar. At the outset, it is significant to note that Nitish Kumar has not been alien to any political tendency present in the Indian political spectrum. Though he portrays Lalu Prasad Yadav as a politician preoccupied with caste, Nitish Kumar himself was one of the first politicians in Bihar to organise a caste-based Kurmi rally in early 1992. He tried his luck with the Communist Party of India (Marxist Leninist) - Liberation during the Assembly elections in 1995.
