Youth For Equality: "Blackmail justice:Pratap Bhanu Mehta
December 29, 2010: The Indian Express
The Gurjjar agitation in Rajasthan is a microcosm of the absurdities of the Indian state. The state has been, for years, wishing this crisis away. But the agitation keeps recurring with dependable regularity. The simple explanation for the crisis is as a predictable product of the fatal conjunction of identity politics and distributive justice that the Indian state has been promoting. This politics is premised on the fact that caste remains the salient mechanism through which concessions are extracted from the state. The ability of groups to extract such mechanisms no longer rests on claims of justice, but on the sheer flexing of muscle power."
