Caste Politics Ignites: Heated Debate On Dalit Identity, Crime & Indian Politics | India Today

A fierce debate unfolds over the politicisation of Dalit identity, triggered by an attack on a Dalit justice and the lynching of a Dalit boy. Analyst Ratan Sharda argues against reducing national heroes and crimes to caste identities, calling it a travesty. He states that society should look at crime and the constitution, not religion or caste. Opposing this view, columnist Ashutosh asserts that caste is inseparable from Hindu religious identity. He delivered a powerful quote, questioning, "If you have no problems, your identity to be flaunted as a Hindu, why I should not flaunt my identity as a...caste?" The discussion also explores whether avoiding conversations on caste stems from privilege and examines the opposition's strategy of building a narrative by conflating these recent incidents, reminiscent of the 'Samvidhan Khatre mein tha' (Constitution was in danger) narrative during the twenty twenty four elections. #castepolitics #dalit #india #itwebvideos #debate #news #politics #socialjustice #casteism #ratansharda #ashutosh #indiatoday #ambedkar #dalitlivesmatter #valmikijayanti #constitution
