@JioHotstar why the hell are you shutting out Alcaraz match? You are showing the same match on three channels! Losers!!

In today's Economic Times, in the context of forthcoming caste census, I argue that ameloration of the downtrodden goes beyond quotas. The case study of social welfare residential schools of AP and TG show that enriched education should be the first call for affirmative action.

I shared my thoughts on caste census in today's (3rd May 2025) Economic Times. I advised caution since 'caste' has transcended from a (divisive) unit of social organisation to being an essential political tool.
