Sub-classification is not in the interest of the SC community
THE WEEK India|September 01, 2024
THE SUPREME COURT’S judgment on sub-classification of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes has triggered an intense social and political debate.
SONI MISHRA
Sub-classification is not in the interest of the SC community

Kishor Makwana, chairman of the National Commission for Scheduled Castes, says sub-classification would result in internal strife within the community and it does not adhere to the basic sentiment of the Constitution. Excerpts from an interview:

Q/ How do you view the Supreme Court’s judgment on sub-classification of scheduled castes and scheduled tribes?

A/ The system of reservation provided for under the Constitution is meant to ensure that the social strata left behind because of the caste system and the practice of untouchability in the Hindu community should come into the social mainstream. The Supreme Court has said that there should be quota within quota to ensure that some specific sections that have not benefited from reservation should also benefit from it. But what will this lead to? This will result in conflict within the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes. So this is not correct.

Q/ The court has also observed that the creamy layer concept could be applied to the scheduled castes.

William Dalrymple goes further back

Indian readers have long known William Dalrymple as the chronicler nonpareil of India in the early years of the British raj. His latest book, The Golden Road, is a striking departure, since it takes him to a period from about the third century BC to the 12th-13th centuries CE.

The bleat from the street

What with all the apps delivering straight to one’s doorstep, the supermarkets, the food halls and even the occasional (super-expensive) pop-up thela (cart) offering the woke from field-to-fork option, the good old veggie-market/mandi has fallen off my regular beat.

Upgrade your jeans

If you don’t live in the top four-five northern states of India, winter means little else than a pair of jeans. I live in Mumbai, where only mad people wear jeans throughout the year. High temperatures and extreme levels of humidity ensure we go to work in mulmul salwars, cotton pants, or, if you are lucky like me, wear shorts every day.
