Braj Ranjan Mani writes in the April cover story that the crisis in Bahujan leadership today is actually an opportunity for us to embrace the  ideology of Phule and Ambedkar and experience its emancipatory power.  Rajeev Kumar Yadav traces the rise of Narendra Modi to the implementation of the Mandal Commission report, which undermined Hindu reform movements led by the backward castes. Arun Narayan pays tribute to the legendary photojournalist Krishna Murari Kishan. For decades, we saw Bihar as Kishan saw it.

Historian Anirudh Deshpande explains how Hindutva may have harmed the long-term interest of the holy cow by becoming obsessed with it; Satya Sagar looks back at the legacy of Periyar and observes that Dravidian movement offers an excellent model to the rest of India to combat the barbarism of caste system; and read how the 6th anniversary of the FORWARD Press was celebrated in Patna and Delhi, including the transcript of Arundhati Roy's address

Like in most other elections in India, caste again mattered in the recent Delhi elections, but so did class. As our cover story says, "The vote share of AAP was much higher among the poor; it established a lead of more than 40 per cent over BJP among this class of voters. A large number of lower- and middle-class voters also voted for AAP". We also look at the reasons behind the spate of acquittals of those accused in the massacres of Dalits in Bihar.

Read in our cover story how the ruling BJP-led National Democratic Alliance is subtly but surely sidelining its Bahujan leaders.

Anyone who walks into my office notices two things beside/
behind me: the red Phule pagdi (turban) and a
portrait of a balding William Carey with the caption
“Friend of India, First Indian Periodical – 1818”. It also
has a motto emblazoned on it: “Expect Great Things
From God; Attempt Great Things For God”. Most who
visit me there know of Mahatma Jotirao Phule but few,
if any, including journalists and publishers, have even
heard of William Carey. When I introduce them to
Carey they are usually excited and astounded that they
have never heard of a man who contributed so greatly to the making of modern India.
The very first issue of FORWARDPress featured an introduction to Carey, the first of a
series by Thom Wolf, “You Owe Him but Do You Know Him?” We plan to publish a
collection of this series as separate books in English and in Hindi. But on the occasion of
the 250th birth anniversary of this great man, this “friend of India”, FP is probably one of
the few magazines in the world and possibly the only one in India that is focusing on
William Carey. Our tribute to him includes my Editorial Essay raising the serious
question of who is truly the “father of modern India” and making the case for a rewriting
of the history of modern India.
