Bill for equality

In the first week of January 2019 Modi government passed the bill for reservation for economically weaker sections of society in Lok Sabha.
In the below sections, I will try to introspect the Pros and Cons.

I have been a victim of caste based reservation myself during my college days.

BJP government worked on many decisions to impress the sections of the society which were under reservation. This includes promoting a Dalit candidate for the post of President. Triple talaq to impress the Muslim women.
In a poll bound country, BJP choose to impress the upper caste sections of the society too.

We can also view this decision in such a way that impressing of the lower caste was not helping much in the vote share for BJP. This again brings the hegemony of upper caste in the vote share for BJP. Good that BJP realized it soon that the upper caste are the ones who will be the game changers for BJP.

I am not sure if this bill will get passed in the Rajya sabha. In most probability it might not get through the rajya sabha at all. However, BJP has been successful in making the issues faced by the upper caste youth a political issue.
The disparity in the opportunities presented to different sections of the society has been opened up and made publicly acknowledged as a issue that needs political attention and mass thinking.

In the elections to come this will be the new game-changing political issue. Will there be a light at the end of the dark tunnel? I am no authority or have Acumen to answer this.
With this bill, I am confident that there is a path which has light at the end.

In the elections to come more and more political parties will want to jump into the foray of impressing the upper caste sections of the society to get their votes. Now is the time for the upper caste society to unite and vote in the elections. More and more voters from the upper caste we need to go out to the polling booths and cast their votes.

In the years to come the political thinking will start aligning towards impressing the upper caste and smaller yet subtle policy changes will follow in this direction. The dream goal would be that there is harmony and equality in the society with no bias based on birth.

It is now a wait and watch to see if Congress on the other hand can do something different to impress the upper caste.
Anyone who does better for the equality in society will win the elections with majority in the years to come.

About three decades ago BJP found an election issue out of ram mandir in ayodhya. Unfortunately BJP used it to grow its political strength, but nothing much was done on the ground. At one point in time BJP had become synonymous with Ram Mandir.
I hope Congress learns from its mistake and act in contributing role in removing the inequality and bringing justice to the youth of upper caste. This will also prove to be  rejuvenator for the perishing congress party.

It is interesting point in the history and all I can do is wait with curiosity and act by casting my vote.
