Caste Obsession: A Costly Disaster
I'm a Bihari, and the whole damn country knows we Biharis stick to our caste like glue in politics—no matter how backward we stay, no matter how much they beat us down everywhere we go. We won't ditch caste. It's our bloody heritage! Society was built on caste lines, and we'll never abandon it.
Let me kick this blog off with a brutal example. Picture a godforsaken area with just three people—each hogging 33.33% of the census pie. Then one bails for whatever reason, no replacement shows up, and now the two leftovers? Boom, 50% share. Can anyone with half a brain twist those numbers to scream "their dominance exploded"? Hell no! That's exactly how Bihar's government stats expose our rotten mess. Since the 1990s, Biharis have fled like rats—to every corner of India and the world. Anyone with a shot ditched this sinking ship. The so-called "drop" in upper castes? Pure migration math, idiots! And it's not just them—any upwardly mobile bastard, middle-class or loaded, has their fancy pads in Noida, Ghaziabad, Bangalore, Delhi. Bihar's incompetent admins did jack squat for economic fixes, so everyone who could bolted. Rural and urban studies scream it loud. This exodus ain't caste—it's chasing real opportunities. Cities dangle better lives, so we all swarm there. Take the Yadav clan—ain't their big shot's crib in Delhi? That "upper caste decline" is Bihar's vanished chances staring you in the face, alive and kicking!
और अब देखते है वर्तमान मे जड़ी आंकड़ों को
Now let's rip into the next chapter of this farce. That so-called caste census tallied households strictly within Bihar's borders, but here's the dirty truth: they counted every damn person tied to those homes—even the ones who bailed on Bihar due to the government's epic policy failures. This survey lumps in folks completely detached from Bihar's economy, so don't expect jack squat in real economic fixes from these bogus numbers. Picture it like this: Today's Yadav family—yeah, those OBC bigwigs—squats in a Delhi mansion but still gets slotted into Bihar's caste tally. Bihar's latest government data is riddled with screw-ups because it's double-counting people left and right.
Sure, the central government could twist it their way—figuring out train quotas and tickets to ease Bihari migrants' commutes, or plugging it into social security schemes. But get this: Tons of folks scream no caste-snoopers showed at their door. Did yours? This half-assed, arbitrary count stinks. If the caste census is legit—door-to-door data gold—then what's the holdup on dumping panchayat, mohalla, and ward-wise breakdowns online? Government better cough up those granular stats now.
Political Benefits
In India's political playbook, castes are the ultimate classic weapon. They demand mobilization gold and make identity politics a cakewalk—supercharged post-1970s-80s. Back then, Congress's Lok Sabha dominance got gutted in 1969 polls. Congress clung to power like grim death, while rising groups craved electoral legitimacy. With media in Congress's pocket—direct or sly—new players hijacked caste identity for cheap rallies: low-cost, easy crowd-pulling via caste chit-chat. It's just like BJP ditching old media for Twitter, Facebook, YouTube domination today.
But flip the coin: Caste politics exploded when BJP spread its wings via "Kamadol" symbolism, countered by Mandal's OBC reservation bomb in central jobs. Nearly 29 years back, PM VP Singh—BJP-allied then—rammed through 27% OBC quota for the poor backward. Politics flipped fast: BJP, bleeding upper-caste votes, trashed the government, yanked support, and toppled it. Fast-forward: Now BJP's central brass lures back upper castes with 10% poor savarna quota, screwing opposition plans—and birthing this caste census crap.
Bihar ain't new to this circus. They've even stood up a Savarna Commission—you can check that out.[1][2]
