In 2023, the University of Madras hiked the PhD thesis submission fee from ₹100 to ₹25,000 for full-time scholars. I asked under RTI who approved it.

It took three years, two appeals and REPEATED DIRECTIONS from the State Information Commission to get an answer. Here is what that answer exposes. #MadrasUniversity 1/9

Beyond Symbolic Politics: Why the Left Prioritizes Material Struggle for Dalit Liberation
Reading a recent print article on the Left’s struggle to understand political autonomy, I wanted to open a conversation around a few of its core questions and assertions.
1. On Dalit Political Assertion vs. Class Unity
Article Query: "Why does the Left, and its politics, find it so hard to accept Dalit political assertion on its own terms?"
In two words: identity politics. The core objective of the Left is to unite and organize the entire working class against the capitalist ruling class. The working class forms the majority of society and encompasses people from all castes, religions, and backgrounds. Dalits represent one of the most severely exploited sections of this working class.
When political assertion operates primarily through identity, it risks fragmenting the working class. From a Left perspective, dividing the working class along identity lines directly undermines collective bargaining power and anti-capitalist struggle. That is why we resist movements that prioritize identity division over class solidarity.
2. On the Tangible Achievements of Dalit Assertions
Article Query: "These movements had their failures, but their insistence on representation changed Indian democracy..."
It changed Indian democracy, but how exactly—and to what end? What have been the concrete gains and trade-offs?
Without falling back on Ambedkar’s historical legacy every single time, modern Ambedkarite movements need to clearly highlight what structural material progress they have secured for working-class Dalits. Left mass organizations—such as SFI, DYFI, trade unions, the Dalit Shoshan Mukti Manch (DSMM), and TNUEF—have consistently delivered tangible material, social, and legal support for working-class Dalits across India on a scale that identity-focused political parties rarely match.
3. On the Title’s Premise and the Question of Leadership Representation
Article Premise: The premise suggests that the Left refuses to grant political autonomy to Dalits, relying heavily on two arguments: Ambedkar’s historical friction with the early Left, and the contemporary representation of Dalits in party leadership.
How much weight should be placed on high-level representation in isolation?
Historically, many Ambedkarite parties and Dalit-led political entities (such as the BSP, Ram Vilas Paswan’s LJP, or Ramdas Athawale’s RPI faction) have compromised the broader interests of Dalits in exchange for political office. As the author even acknowledges toward the end of the piece, positions offered to marginalized leaders in bourgeois parties frequently amount to mere tokenism—visible figureheads stripped of real decision-making power.
Left parties take a far more honest approach. We lead grass-roots struggles against caste and class oppression that directly improve the daily lives of Dalits. Reducing political empowerment strictly to being a puppet Dalit identity leader at the top of a party hierarchy is a skewed and short-sighted view. Over the last seven decades, representation within Left cadre and leadership has evolved organically bottom up through shared struggle, avoiding the trap of cosmetic tokenism. 1/2
