Sonia Gandhi is among the most democratic leaders of contemporary Indian politics. Beyond sacrificing the PM post, her legacy includes transformative welfare and governance reforms such as RTI, MGNREGA, RTE, Forest Rights Act, and OBC reservations in HEI. @INCIndia @RahulGandhi

I visited the southernmost tip of India.

I stood at Indira Point. I walked under trees that have stood for centuries. I dove into coral reefs among the most vibrant on earth.

And I sat with the people who live there. Tribal communities, whose land is being taken away by violating the Forest Rights Act. Settlers, many of them former soldiers, placed on these islands by the Indian government, who aren’t getting fair compensation.

The Modi government and BJP tells you Great Nicobar Project is about defence. It is not.

Expand INS Baaz - we will back the government fully. The Navy has been asking for expansion for five years - it has been ignored.

They tell you it is about a transhipment port. It is not. India is already building one in Kerala, which is on the mainland.

What it actually is: 1.5 crore trees felled. Coral reefs erased from official maps. Soldiers and tribals displaced - so one businessman can build hotels and casinos on India’s most irreplaceable ecological land.

Every young Indian I have spoken to understands this. You know that no amount of profit is worth destroying what can never be recovered.

I stand for ecologically balanced development. These islands can be the most extraordinary sustainable destination the world has ever seen. That is the India worth fighting for.

తెలంగాణ అమరవీరుల త్యాగాల ఫలితంగానే హైదరాబాద్ విశ్వవిద్యాలయం ఆవిర్భవించింది. అయినప్పటికీ, తెలంగాణ ఆవిర్భావ దినోత్సవాన్ని అధికారికంగా నిర్వహించడంలో యూనివర్సిటీ నిర్లక్ష్యం ప్రదర్శించడం విచారకరం.

AIOBCSA డిమాండ్ చేస్తోంది:

✅ University of Hyderabad తెలంగాణ ఆవిర్భావ దినోత్సవాన్ని అధికారికంగా నిర్వహించాలి
✅ తెలంగాణ అమరవీరులను గౌరవించాలి
✅ తెలంగాణ విద్యార్థులకు డొమిసైల్ రిజర్వేషన్లు అమలు చేయాలి
✅ ఆర్టికల్స్ 371-D & 371-E స్ఫూర్తిని అమలు చేయాలి

Remembering and honoring the unparalleled legacy of Kalaignar Dr. M. Karunanidhi on his Birth Anniversary.

A visionary leader, architect of social justice, and champion of the marginalized, Kalaignar transformed the lives of millions through reservations, educational reforms, welfare measures, and policies that strengthened equality, representation, and human dignity.

His message remains relevant today: “Birth should not determine destiny.”

Let us continue the struggle for Social Justice, Equality, Self-Respect, and Representation.

The All India OBC Students Association (AIOBCSA) sincerely thanks the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Karnataka, Shri Siddaramaiah ji, for accepting the more comprehensive Social, Economic, and Educational Caste Survey Report. Karnataka has now become the third state in India, after Telangana and Bihar, to undertake such an important caste survey initiative aimed at ensuring social justice and evidence-based policymaking.

AIOBCSA believes that caste census and scientific social data are essential for strengthening democracy and fulfilling the constitutional vision of equality, representation, and justice. The Karnataka government has demonstrated political commitment towards the empowerment of Backward Classes by recognising the importance of updated socio-economic realities of marginalized communities.

We strongly demand that the Karnataka Government implement proportionate reservations for Backward Classes based on their social and educational backwardness as reflected in the survey findings. Reservation policies must reflect present-day realities to ensure fair representation in education, employment, legislature, judiciary, and governance institutions.

We also urge the Government of India to conduct a nationwide caste census and adopt similar measures to guarantee social justice, inclusive development, and equitable distribution of opportunities across the country.

West Bengal Government must conduct a caste survey and strengthen OBC reservations instead of reducing them from 17% to 7%. Social justice cannot be sacrificed for political reasons. Bihar and Telangana have already shown the way through caste surveys and enhanced representation. OBC reservations must be increased to 27% based on scientific data and constitutional principles. @SuvenduWB @CMOfficeWB @MamataOfficial @abhishekaitc

[All India OBC Students Association (AIOBCSA) @aiobcsa]

We thank Hon’ble CJI Justice Surya Kant and the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India for dismissing the plea against Caste Census 2027.

A caste census is essential to deepen social justice by providing empirical data on the social, educational, and economic backwardness of communities. Evidence-based policymaking is crucial to ensure equitable representation and welfare for OBCs and other marginalized sections.

We hardly find social justice leaders and senior politicians like Late Shri. Sharad Yadav ji, who would invite youngsters to their office, patiently listen to their concerns on social justice issues, and motivate them to carry the movement forward in Delhi.

Today, many leaders are confined to listening only to political consultants rather than those working on the ground among the people. We deeply miss Sharad Yadav ji in Delhi. His accessibility, humility, and commitment to nurturing young voices in the social justice movement remain unmatched.

First image was taken in 2016 and converted to HD image. PG and PhD scholars of JNU, DU and HCU met Shri. Sharad Yadav ji 10 years back. @SharadYadavMP @SubhashiniSY

Representation in governance is a Constitutional right, not a favour.

The Central Government must immediately implement SC, ST, and OBC Directors in all Governing Bodies of PSUs, PSBs, IIMs, IITs, Central Universities, and other public institutions to ensure inclusive decision-making and social justice.

No representation. No participation. No justice.

“Digital education without digital access is injustice to poor and marginalised students.

If the Government wants online classes, it must first ensure digital infrastructure, free internet access, and tablets for every student from disadvantaged communities. Education cannot become a privilege of the rich”

Even political parties with just one or two MLAs can play a decisive role in government formation in a hung situation. The CM or PM may have to visit their party offices to seek support. That is the beauty of democracy and the true significance of political power.
