There seems to be hidden agenda in continued discussions on
sociologist’s comments – corruption and OBCs, SCs, STs. The demand for arrest seems to be politically
motivated. All these people are conveniently forgetting
the important part of the statement. It
is more than sixty years since independence.
Still there are states which never allowed BCs, SC-STs and minorities
anywhere near to power. Communists talk
of equality and power to all. But in the
state which was ruled by communists for long time has not attempted to achieve
their fundamental goal. The failure of
democracy to wipe the class and caste differences in the society is the root
cause of all maladies now. The men in
high places, in the government, bureaucracy and media – print and visual, more
than 80% are from forward caste. Making
news of ‘dalits – corruption’ gives them more satisfaction and righteous
feeling than being critical about failure of socialistic republic in inclusive
development.
After all the explanation and context, instead of being vociferous about the arrest of Ashis Nandy, the political parties should fight and work for upliftment of downtrodden.
