India’s exemplary GDP growth of 7.8% during Q1 of FY 2026-27 is a herculean feat.
The collective strength of our people ensured India delivered such growth despite oil price shocks and supply chain issues in the midst of global uncertainties.
Doomsayers were doomed and India bloomed…yet again!
The entire SC/ST creamy layer argument rests on a flawed assumption: that a substantial section of SC/ST population is affluent enough to have cornered reservation benefits at the expense of genuinely deserving candidates.
The Bihar Caste Census puts a number to this assumption. Only 1.72% of SCs and 2.53% of STs earn above 50,000 per month. That is the upper bound of what anyone could reasonably call a creamy layer, and I am already stretching the definition generously, since the existing OBC creamy layer threshold of 8 lakh per annum translates to roughly 67K per month, well above 50K.
So the creamy layer within SC/ST, by the most liberal reading of available data, is approximately 2% of their population. This largely follows from Bihar census but caste data from Telangana is also similar.
Now consider what actually follows from that number. If the argument is to exclude all Paswans from reservation because 2% among them have done well, that is precisely the logic used against GCs: denying benefits to an entire group because a section of it is affluent. SC/ST communities will recognise this immediately and they will not accept it.
If the narrower plan is to exclude only the creamy layer individuals rather than the whole caste, you have reduced the reserved pool by 2%. The remaining 98% is still eligible, still reserved, and the replacement queue behind them is deep and immediate. Not one additional seat opens for GC candidates. And at 2% turnover per generation, you are mathematically waiting 50 generations before reservation has run its course through the population. That is not reform. That is a rabbit hole with no exit.
This is why my position is straightforward. Abolish all reservations, including EWS reservation, which is constitutionally dubious on its own terms. Replace it with direct economic assistance to those who genuinely need it, regardless of caste. Target poverty, not identity. That is the only argument that is intellectually honest
Is BJP MP Naveen Jindal growing snakes in backyard?
This is from OP Jindal’s course.
A documentary on Kejriwal is a mandatory course material.
And who made it?
Khushboo Ranka—CJP cofounder Ashutosh’s sister.
OP Jindal is becoming hub of leftists.
@Airtel_Presence My router is not working since 24th. I raised a request and a technician was scheduled for 26th but he didn't come at all. Can you refund my recharge for six months?
@Sangeetisback@mutton2pyaza Actors and writers*
You should watch Avane Srimannarayana by Rakshit. It was released too close to KGF but it's a very well written one time watch
@mutton2pyaza Same thing. I don't know how one could see "Papa papa" for three hours in a cinema hall when Animal released.
One could argue about the novelty of it in Animal.
Toxic promos were like a teenager trying to copy Animal

Relevance has no retirement age.
If Tukaram Omble had looked at his age at 54, he wouldn’t have tried to catch Ajmal Kasab. He would have said, ‘Let somebody from Gen Z come and catch the terrorist.’
That is not how institutions work.
Can you tell me why Dalit Mahars did not allow Dalit Mangs entry into the temple of chokhamela? Why did Dalit Mahars forbid Dalit Mangs from riding horses? Why did they send petitions to Peshwa against Mangs?
Or is this question out of syllabus in Ambedkarite history?
BTW, to answer your question, it was a Brahmin who fasted for days demanding entry of all Dalits into Pandharpur temple and eventually succeeded. It was he who empowered Dalits. Sane Guruji.
