JULY 2014No. 07 Bilingual
Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat
is an orphan. So said US President John F.
Kennedy following the 1961 Bay of Pigs
(Cuba) fiasco. Following the Modi-led BJP’s
decisive victory there are of course the usual
claimants of paternity rights but we shall
leave that to the Sangh Parivar and the polit-
ical pundits to sort out. On the side of the
defeated, particularly the Bahujan parties,
there has been a deafening silence. This is
where FORWARD Press steps in from this
issue onwards.
Our regular columnist Prem Kumar Mani begins by analysing
where the Bahujan parties went wrong and then goes on to plot the out-
lines of what truly Bahujan politics should and could look like. In his
assessment of both the victory of the Modi-led BJP as well as of the
defeat of the Bahujan parties he refuses to wear any tinted goggles –
neither saffron nor green nor any shade of red – just an unwavering
Phule-Ambedkar perspective. He certainly does not spare the Dalit-
bahujan political leaders. This is in keeping with what JNU professor
Vivek Kumar has said: FP is unique in the Bahujan media space in crit-
ically evaluating even these leaders. Then again you might not agree
with Mani’s qualified hopes for the Modi-led BJP – “If it rises above
the ideology of Savarkar-Hedgewar and associates itself with the Phule-
Ambedkarite ideology, that will not only benefit it but also the nation”
– but in the months to come FP will carry diverse analyses and propos-
als for a new, improved Bahujan politics.
In his Cover Story, Mani frames the last elections against “the heady
Indira Hatao days of 1971”. I would frame Mayawati’s visit to the
families of the two Bahujan (MBC) cousin sisters gang-raped and left
hanging in Badaun, UP, with another episode in Indira Gandhi’s long
political innings: Belchi 1977. In that year, following her resounding
defeat after the Emergency of 1975-77, she bounced back from the
political wilderness by going out of her way to visit the families of the
nine Dalits burnt alive by a mob of a locally dominant caste. She flew
to Patna, then was driven first by jeep, then by tractor and, finally,
when the roads were impassable (because of the rains), she rode on ele-
phant back into Belchi village. Today, when the defeated Rahul Gandhi
rushes to visit the Badaun “Dalit” (as originally reported) families, it is
not news; it is expected of him. When her imperial Bahujan majesty,
Mayawati, knocked off her high elephant, helicopters in the following
day, it is news. Whether it will mark a Belchi moment in her political
career only history can tell.
Whatever the political future of leaders like Mulayam Singh or Laloo
Prasad or Mayawati or even Modi, what matters most to us is the future
of the nation of India. In our ongoing series ‘Making India A Great
Nation’ this time Vishal Mangalwadi answers the question How the
Bible made India a developing nation, showing how the roots of our
republic go beyond and deeper than the Constitution. At a time when
the new Modi government has already signalled its intent to rewrite his-
tory (through saffron lens) we all the more need to know the truth of
the history of modern India outside the Congress sanitized version or
the Hindutva version in the making.
Until next month … Truthfully,
ORWARDT H I N K I N GF

6. Badaun incident triggers Bahujan protests
ÕÎæØê´ ·¤æ´ÇU ÂÚU ©UÕÜæ ÕãéUÁÙ â×æÁ
New Delhi: On 27 May, people all over
the country exploded in anger after the
pictures of the bodies of two minor girls of
Shakya Maurya (OBC) community, hang-
ing from a tree in the Katra Shahganj
village of Badaun district of Uttar Pradesh,
appeared in the media. The girls were
raped before being hanged. Sit-ins and
demonstrations were organized right
from Delhi up to the district headquarters.
On 14 June, a huge demonstration was
held at Jantar-Mantar in New Delhi by the
Badaun Balatkar Evam Hatya Virodhi
Manch under the auspices of Kushwaha
Samaj, Delhi. The demonstration was led
by the organization’s president Surendra
Kushwaha. Addressing the
demonstrators, Surendra Kushwaha said
that the ruling caste of UP was committing
atrocities on members of the Maurya,
Shakya and Kushwaha castes. He said
that these castes were being punished for
voting for Modi in the Lok Sabha
elections. On this occasion, Vimal Kumar,
Shatrughan Singh Shakya, Dr Harirama
Maurya, Jai Bhagwan Saini, Himadri
Kushwaha, Gita Shakya, Dinesh Maurya,
Rajesh Kushwaha, Premchand Prajapati
and others said that Shakya, Maurya,
Kushwaha, Saini and Kachi castes were
socially vulnerable and the central and
state governments should make special
provisions for their protection.- FP DESK

The ideologies of Nehru and Ambedkar are ideal secular
ideologies and we would like to learn from them even today. But
can a leader, who is not modern in his thoughts and ideas, be
secular? What, for instance, qualifies Laloo Prasad or Mulayam
Singh to be described as secular? But they had become the
flag-bearers of secularism in the country. Their politics was based
on it. Through their speeches, statements and actions, they only
made the Muslims more backward-thinking

Elections and
minority politics

15. 15
During the run-up to the polls, every party performed
all sorts of antics to woo the Muslims. That was because
they believed that Muslims vote en bloc and that they are
primarily concerned with issues related to their identity
and religion. Among other things, the parties made prom-
ises regarding personal law,Waqf properties, Urdu,
minority institution status for Aligarh Muslim University
and reservations for Muslims. Developmental issues were
conspicuous by their absence. The political parties
behaved as if the Muslims have nothing do with the social
mainstream development and that the leaders of the
community are only concerned with themselves and with
preserving and perpetuating their hold over the commu-
nity. How Muslims can join the national mainstream and
what their role in it can be was not the concern of either
the key political parties or the representatives of the
Muslims.
Whenever Muslims are talked about in the Indian con-
text, the stratification that informs the community’s social
structure is ignored. Muslims are taken to be a homoge-
nous community. The entire discourse on minorities suf-
fers from this basic flaw. The fact is that, historically,
Muslims have been divided into many classes and there
are ‘Forward Muslims’ and ‘Backward Muslims’. The
Forward Muslims are called Ashraf while the Backward or
Dalit Muslims are called Pasmanda. The Muslim commu-
nity is as stratified as the Hindus. Prof Imitiaz Ahmed, in
his book Caste and Social Stratification among Muslims in
India, says that a stratified social structure, based on ‘Jaat
Biradari’, which is analogous to caste, is very much in
place among the Muslims.
This stratification among the Muslims is often ignored
– either inadvertently or otherwise. The Sacchar commit-
tee, however, seemed to have grasped this stratification
very well. In the tenth chapter of its report, the committee
presents an excellent analysis of the caste divisions and
discrimination among Muslims. The report says that
there are three classes of Muslims: first, which suffer from
no social inadequacies – Ashraf; second, which can be
compared with Hindu OBCs – Ajlaf; and third, which can
compared with Hindu SCs – Arjal. The second and third
classes jointly form the Pasmanda or Muslim OBC class.
Not only the politicians but even the intelligentsia
seems to believe that Muslims are a homogenous com-
munity. The outcome of this misconception is that the
Forward Muslims almost always manage to monopolize
the gains from policies and programmes designed for the
welfare of the minorities. The majority Pasmanda class –
which comprises Dalit and Backward Muslims and which
has always suffered socially, economically and politically
– is left high and dry, despite forming almost 85 per cent
of the community.

ANALYSIS
Often, many people, especially Muslim politicians and Ulema,
misinterpret the Sacchar committee report to claim that “Sacchar
committee has revealed that the condition of India Muslims is
worse than that of Dalits”. This is not true. Sacchar panel has, of
course, said that on some indices, the condition of Muslims is
worse than that of Hindu Dalits. But that does not mean that all
Muslims are worse off than Hindu Dalits on socio-economic
markers or they are as oppressed and neglected as Dalits are or
they are facing the same kind and degree of economic hardship.
The reality is that it is the condition of Dalit and Backward
Muslims that can be compared with that of Hindu Dalits. For
instance, NSS (61st Round) reveals that in terms of income,
Muslim Ashrafs are ahead of not only Pasmanda (Dalit-OBC
Muslims) but also the Hindu OBCs. According to the available sta-
tistics, the per-person-per-month expenditure of Hindu OBCs is
Rs620 and of Muslim OBCs Rs605. The corresponding figure for
Muslim Forward castes is Rs633. Thus, in terms of income, Muslim
Ashrafs are better off than not only Pasmanda (OBC) Muslims but
even Hindu OBCs. A Halalkhor (Mehtar) is as untouchable for a
high-caste Muslim as a Hindu Bhangi for a Hindu of the higher
Varna.
In India, minority politics originated as an elite-dominated
Muslim politics in response to Hindu fascist politics. The Muslim
politics was confined to binaries like minority versus majority, com-
munalism versus secularism and witch-hunting versus security. The
elite-dominated Muslim politics had no place for democracy. The
Ashraf elites ruled over all institutions, including the political ones.
Ashfaq Hussain Ansari, in his book Basic Problems of OBC and Dalit
Politics, has analyzed the share of Pasmanda Muslims among the
members of the first to the fourteenth Lok Sabhas.

17. Thus, according to this study, of the 7,500 persons elected as
MPs from the first to the fourteenth Lok Sabhas, 400 were Muslims.
And among them, 340 were Ashrafs and only 60 came from
Pasmanda castes. If the percentage of Muslims in total population
of India (Census 2011) is 14.23, then the Ashrafiya population is only
2.13 per cent (which is 15 per cent of Muslim population).Their rep-
resentation in the Lok Sabhas was, however, 4.5 per cent (340/7500),
which is double their percentage in the population. On the other
hand, the representation of Pasmanda Muslims, who form 11.4 per
cent of the total population of India, was only 0.8 per cent. Given
the share of Muslims in the population of India, cumulatively, at
least 1,000 Muslims should have been elected to the Lok Sabha, but
only 400 were. At first glance, it may appear that the Muslims did
not get their due. But a closer analysis would indicate that Ashraf
(Forward) Muslims got twice what was due to them. It is the
Pasmanda (Backward) Muslims who have suffered as they could not
get representation in proportion to their population. In the elections
to the sixteenth Lok Sabha, not a single Muslim candidate has won
from 21 states and six Union territories. Probably, in the history of
Indian democracy, never was the number of Muslim Lok Sabha
members so low. Only 23 Muslim MPs have been elected.This takes
us back to 1957 when also only 23 Muslim MPs were elected. It was
in 1990 that the highest number of Muslims – 49 – was elected to
the Lok Sabha. Not a single Muslim has been elected from Uttar
Pradesh, which sends 80 members to the Lok Sabha. After
Independence, it is the first occasion when no Muslim has been
returned from UP.
These figures suggest that the representation of Muslims is
falling. But if the Muslim MPs are segregated into Forward and
Backward, then a different picture emerges. Of the 23 Muslim
MPs, only one is a Pasmanda; all the rest are Ashrafs. The truth is
that the representation of Backward Muslims, which was already
low, is falling further.
According to Nobel laureate Economist Douglas North, the
foundation of the performance of a society rests on both informal
and formal institutions built by it. These institutions are endoge-
nous, ie the different social, economic, legal and political institu-
tions influence one another. Clearly, democratization of one insti-
tution will lead to democratization of the other institutions.
Now that the sixteenth Lok Sabha is in place and the myth of
Muslim vote bank has been busted, the need of the hour is
democratization of the Muslim community to ensure that all its
classes and castes get representation in its institutions. Also,
Dalits, OBCs, Pasmandas and Bahujans need to forge a common
front. The Muslim politicians and parties have to decide whether
they want all sections of the 18-crore Muslims of the country to
be represented in the political institutions or
whether they intend to perpetuate the hold of the
elite-dominated groups with their communal and
identity-based politics and demands.

ike most of us, you too never anticipated that
the BJP would get such a large number of

Definitely. In fact, I was not ready to give more
than 180 seats to the BJP. After polling, I felt
that the figure may go up to 200. But 282, I
never imagined. Even the BJP never hoped to

win that many seats. I believe that the people voted more
against the Congress than for the BJP – because they were dis-
appointed with the Congress. Since the people had no option
except the BJP, so it got a majority. The AAP is just a budding
outfit. Congress did not perform so badly even after the
Emergency. This time, people seemed to be seething with
anger against the Congress – against corruption, skyrocketing
prices and arrogance of being in power. People were boiling
from within. The BJP victory has nothing to do with any
Modi wave.
There were no issues in this election.The level of campaign-
ing was very low.
Yes, that is correct. Neither poverty figured in the campaign,
nor quality education, health and employment. The speeches
of campaigners were quite run-of-the-mill.
According to a CSDS study, this time, the BJP was substan-
tially backed by the EBCs, Dalits and OBCs whereas the par-
ties indulging in politics of identity performed poorly.The
BSP could not get even one seat. Should this be considered a
major shift in politics of identity? Is it on the way to extinc-
tion? Or it is too early to say this?
It is true that the BSP could not even open its account but the
BJP has garnered 282 seats with only 31.2 per cent votes. This
has happened for the first time. The votes of the other parties
got divided. Only those regional parties whose governments
performed well got the people’s backing. Regional parties did
spectacularly in West Bengal, Odisha and Tamil Nadu but
Mulayam Singh Yadav has been nearly wiped out. Nitish
Kumar’s party in Bihar is an exception, whose government did
well but still lost. It will be too early to say that the politics of
identity is on its way out. This time also, caste did play a role,
money did bring in votes; it wasn’t that only religion counted.
Modi is being seen as a potential Hitler. Do you think if Modi
is able to maintain his popularity for the next 10 years, he
would become another Hitler?
I don’t think so. He will not become a Hitler. But he may well

become an Atal Bihari Vajpayee. The Indian democracy has that
much power. Modi has got a majority. This will force him to
change. He has already made a beginning by inviting Pakistan’s
prime minister to his swearing-in. He can do such things because
he has a majority. Now, he will talk like the PM of India, not like a
BJP leader. I don’t think what the VHP people are saying is correct
– that he will get the temple built or will abrogate Article 370.
There is no doubt that he is a divisive personality. But as the PM,
his personality will change. This is the power of Indian democracy.
Did his divisive personality draw the people towards him?
No. The people were dejected and disappointed due to spiralling
prices, unemployment, etc. They thought a change would improve
the situation on these fronts. People would observe him for the
next six months. And if they feel disappointed, they will form their
own opinions, take their own decisions. The government that was
ruling the country for the last couple of years was a ‘non-govern-
ing’ government. So, if Modi only gives the people governance, if
he gives them only an effective administration, they will be more
than happy.
But at some places, the Hindutvavadis are raising their heads.
Some of their organizations are taking the law into their hands.
I don’t think these people have much influence on Modi. He is
much more influenced by people who believe in governance. For
Modi, Arun Jaitley is more important than Ashok Singhal, ie peo-
ple who are sensible. It also seems that the dividing line between
the RSS and the BJP has blurred to such an extent that it has
almost disappeared. Both are no longer hardliners. Jhandewalan
and Nagpur are now closer. Modi will listen to the RSS bosses.
So, you do not fear a replay of 1975?
No. It will be very difficult to impose Emergency now. Now, the
consent of six states is mandatory. But what I apprehend is that a
