Upper Caste vote bank is the ultimate reality

All this talk about Dalit vote bank, Muslim vote bank is such bogus talks. The only one vote bank that exists and actually matters due to their lung powers, financial clout and huge nuisance value is 'upper' caste vote bank in this country which no party dares to defy. And that is why you will never find any govt taking any credible action against people like pramod muthalik, bal thakre, modi, advani, those accused of killing, raping dalits, muslims, christians etc and can see how govt just gives in to anti-reservation forces so easily without even a semblance of fighting it out.If majority of dalits vote for BSP in UP and Muslims against BJP, it is not vote bank politics but ideological commitment against the reality that they face daily.If u want to see how this vote bank works. Just take the example of BSP's brahmin candidates. why do they win?

They win because brahmin and other upper castes vote their castes unlike BSP's Dalit voters who vote for them despite candidates being upper castes, just becasue of the commitment they feel towards BSP.

On the other hand upper castes despite their deep aversion to BSP, still is ready to vote for their caste men and women even if they stand on BSP's ticket. This is what is casteism, this is what vote bank means. And the most funny thing is when political anylsts talk about 'casteism' in politics while talking about contemporary times. They conveniently forget the factional battles that used to happen between brahmins, thakurs and kayasth lobbies in UP and their impact on electoral fortunes in Up just 2 decades back. The only difference is now that these lobbies now have to confront a new reality - lower caste political assertion whereas earlier they were the only players fighting with each other to protect their political turfs and their caste interests.

Reservation Simplified !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For all those who raise questions on reservations again and again-

Year 200 BC (Vedic Era):-

Dalit: I want education, drink clean water, earn wealth and respect.

Brahmin: Religion does not permit, it is written in manusmriti (hindus constitution) if you even think of any of these we will punish you, torture you and kill you.

Dalit: But what about equality, justice and merit?

Year 1000 AD-Mughals & Year 1900-British Rule:

Dalit: I want education, drink clean water, earn wealth and respect.

Brahmin: So what ruler has changed but you will remain slaves and ruler does not dare to interfere in our religious matter. If anyone will raise their voice we will burn down your houses and kill you.

Dalit: But what about equality, justice and merit?

Year 1930 (Second round table conference & Poona Pact):

Dalit: I want education, drink clean water, earn wealth and respect.

Dr Ambedkar: British (in second round table conference) have agreed to give our right to choose our own leaders on the basis of population to each and every community.

Brahmin : This will finish our domination, we are merely 15%, if it happens all our wealth (earned by sweat & blood - donations from preaching) created in so many years will be distributed among all the masses and soon we will come on road.

Gandhi: Dont worry I am here, I will fast till Dr Ambedkar takes few steps back, since dalits have suffered for so many years we are ready to give a small share through reservation. Atleast our wealth will remain with us and dalits will no longer demand their fair share or might be a separate state (because then 85% of area would go to dalits and we will have to live with 15% share only).

Dalits: But what about equality and justice.

Year 2000 (after independence):

Dalit: I want education, earn wealth, respect and above all our rights.

Brahmin: What about merit? We all are equal so why this discrimination? We believe in equality and fairness, so what 90% of wealth belongs to us, we have earned it through our sweat and blood.

Moral of the story: whatever happens these caste hindus will find some or the other reason to keep dalits away from education and their rights. In future when dalits will start competing with caste hindus they will come up with some other reason may be in the name of their hindu religion or country. But will never leave their domination over dalits. If we have to reduce the gap between rich caste hindus and poor dalits, some caste hindus will loose some of their wealth, which is why they oppose reservations. Because of this transition caste hindus becoming less richer comparatively and hence crying about merit & equality !!!!
