  • Dalit Factor in Bihar's Politics
    7. The (Maha) Dalit Factor in Bihar’s Politics Shreyas Sardesai* Until the 2010 election for the Bihar Assembly, elections in the state were largely analysed in terms of a six caste categories – Upper castes, Yadavs, other OBCs, Pasis, other Dalits and Muslims. Since 2007 however, Bihar politics has witnessed new developments and the caste dimension of elections cannot be fully understood without taking into account two additional caste categories, namely EBCs or Extremely Backward Classes, and Mahadalits. This chapter seeks to analyse the emergence of latter and its implications. In August 2007, the Nitish Kumar led JDU-BJP government set up the Bihar State Mahadalit Commission to “identify the castes within Scheduled Castes who lagged behind in the development process” and to “study [their] educational and social status and suggest measures for [their] upliftment”. In April 2008, 18 Dalit castes were brought under the Mahadalit category to begin with. These are Bantar, Bauri, Bhogta, Bhuiya, Chaupal, Dabgar, Dom/Dhangad, Ghasi, Halalkhor, Hari/Mehtar/Bhangi, Kanjar, Kurariar, Lalbegi, Musahar, Nat, Pan/Swasi, Rajwar and Turi. Three months later Dhobi and Pasi castes were also added to the Mahadalit category based on the Commission’s recommendation and then Chamars were also included in the Mahadalit category by the state government in November 2009 on the grounds that they too were lagging in literacy and economic status and were victims of untouchability at the hands of other Mahadalit castes1. The only sub-caste that was left out was Paswan or Dusadh *Author is Research Associate at Lokniti, Centre for the Study of Developing Societies.

  • Indianprotest-1 Andhra Pradesh
    1.Andhra Pradesh Hartal (Strike Stay away) Gherao(Occupation) Bandh (General Strike Stay away) Bandh, protests rock Kurnool 5 September 2014 Students led by the Joint Action Committee staged a protest here on Thursday, against the exclusion of Kurnool as the capital of Andhra Pradesh. Soon after the announcement of Vijayawada as the capital by Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu on the floor of the Assembly on Thursday, scores of students gathered in large numbers at the Raj Vihar Centre and staged a rasta roko. The protesters held up the vehicular traffic for an hour. They demanded that Kurnool be made the capital, considering its status as the capital of the Andhra State in 1953. The protesters dispersed after police took the key leaders in custody. Later, a group of students climbed up the advertisement hoardings near Budhawarpet and threatened to jump in protest against the government for not considering Kurnool for location of capital. Though the YSR Congress and other organisations called for a bandh, little impact was seen in the city. The educational institutions, which observed a bandh on Wednesday, functioned as usual. However, student organisations which took part in the protest along with Private Schools Association on Wednesday continued the stir. Banks, offices and business establishment functioned as usual. Rayalaseema Joint Action Committee convener Bojja Dasaratha Rami Reddey said that the Chief Minister proved that he was the one who acted against the interests of his own people in order to please Coastal Andhra. ANANTAPUR Staff Reporter adds: The bandh call given by students’ organisations, seeking location of capital in the Rayalaseema region, had a telling effect in the district.
