Caste-Bank Politics
Hyper-Polarization and "Caste-Bank" Politics
Instead of annihilating or reducing the impact of caste, social justice politics is accused of deeply institutionalizing it.
Every policy, election ticket, and welfare scheme is heavily viewed through the lens of caste arithmetic (such as the detailed fragmentation into OBC, EBC, Dalit, and Mahadalit categories). Critics argue this keeps the society fractured and forces voters to choose candidates based on identity rather than merit, governance, or infrastructure development.
