Politics of Caste Mobilization

Smt. Anuradha Naik, Dr. B. M. Ratnakar

Abstract :

A new trend has begun to field a candidate of their own caste irrespective of the merits or demerits. The caste leaders pressurise the political parties to provide seats to those whose number is in majority so that people of a caste can vote en bloc for a candidate of the same or different caste either in pursuance of the decision of Caste Panchayat or their leaders. In case a single caste is not found to be effective, alliances are made on caste basis. At present the political parties are also intelligent to pick up the caste based leaders to mobilize the votes on caste considerations.
