[Reader-list] Caste Politics in Bihar

[A. Mani]

http://www.pragoti.in/node/4478

"It would not be an exaggeration to say that Nitish era has, in fact,
seen a disenfranchisement of Dalits in Bihar politics and return of
the landed class hegemony. The Dalit political space has almost been
completely eliminated by Nitish Kumar, both discursively as well as
politically. Secondly, what Nitish Kumar intends to accomplish is to
achieve forced stabilisation of the existing class balance in the
state where traditional elites and emerging petty-bourgeois classes
play a dominant role."
