The Dalit-Bahujan finally roars.
Frontline.
Abstract
The results of the Lok Sabha election reflect a paradigmatic shift as they reveal the caste churning that has happened on the Indian political landscape. Not only have the results unveiled new caste equations and alignments of the SC/ST/OBC/EBC/minorities, they are also significant in terms of arithmetic realignments and the emergence of new Dalit-Bahujan faces in the political spectrum. One thing is clear: this election, more than any other, has been about the janta (public) speaking out for their constitutional rights, rejecting the BJP’s narrative of Narendra Modi as mahamanav (being invincible). It has restored faith in democracy and reiterated that constitutionality can, and will, prevail.
