Context:
A socio-political movement known as “Mandal” has silently left urban Anglicized élite on the margin of the Indian political landscape and brought power to the underprivileged.
On Social Justice:
- Concrete Steps: Early social reformers had done their bit to bring social justice to Indian society but concrete steps were taken by B.R. Ambedkar in terms of policy prescriptions.
- Caste-class dichotomy: Constituent assembly had envisioned the backward classes as backward communities. But Mandal's report dilutes the demarcation between social class and caste.
