The Only caste that matter
Context:
The benefits of these schemes and measures are reaching all sections, irrespective of caste, religion, or gender. Government has said there are only four major castes he deeply cares about — the poor, the youth, the women, and the farmers.
Critique of Historical Caste System
- Roots of Social Stratification: India's historical caste system, emphasizing its initial occupational basis and subsequent entrenchment, and leading to societal stagnation.
- Discrimination and Endurance: Caste-based discrimination dehumanized individuals, fostering a sense of inferiority, which, unfortunately, wasn't effectively challenged by political parties, often exploiting caste divisions for electoral gains.
- Disruptive Governance Approach: Later 2014 disrupted traditional caste politics, focusing on inclusive governance and social justice, challenging the status quo through schemes aimed at poverty alleviation and marginalized empowerment.
Governance for Social Inclusion and Dignity Restoration
- Inclusive Governance Strategies: Over nine years, the government pursued unprecedented governance for saturation, aiming to undo centuries of discrimination by restoring dignity and addressing the needs of marginalized communities.
- Symbolic Scheme Naming: Prime Minister Modi's strategic naming of schemes reflects ambition and sensitivity, exemplified by the PM JanjatiAdivasiNyayaMahaAbhiyan, emphasizing justice over mere assistance.
- Positive Nomenclature: The positive naming of schemes, like UjjawalaYojana and BetiBachao, BetiPadhao, focuses on aspirations rather than branding, responding to the hopes of people in previously overlooked regions.
Caste Irrelevance through Inclusive Development
- Focus on the Marginalized: Central government’s emphasis on four major castes— the poor, youth, women, and farmers— underscores an inclusive approach, as evident in the substantial reduction of multi-dimensional poverty.
- Development for All: Government schemes prioritize access to basic needs, ensuring development and aspirations are met regardless of caste, religion, or gender.
- Revival of Traditional Work: Empowering people to return to traditional work, fosters a revolution that dismantles hierarchical social orders.
