In Mahabharata king Shantanu married a nishad girl. So, varna vyavastha had responsibilities well defined. Do you think brahman, kshatriyas or vaishyas made magnificent temples of ancient India. No that were built by sudras. Brahman only provided dharmik guidance in temple making, kshatriya provided money and security to temple and vaishya provided money and material. Sudras were actual master craftmen and sculptors who did executed all ideas passed to them. This is how today's world works. Once we lost our independence temple making and other such occupation which sudras used to do declined and they lost everything in due course of time. When outsiders started mingling into indian population. Some cultural distortion led to alienation of certain community. Which went out of varna vyavastha. They belonged to none of the group. This is the point where these communities started marrying to their own kind. This further got strengthened by idea of monopolisation of businesses carried out by communities. These communities further developed as castes. Today we are seeing distorted varna vyavastha. Which initially was not rigid. So, caste system should go for everyones good.

A setback Narrative has been started. Its just 100 days since government took over and people are listing so many U turns by the government. Looking for analysis of the Pro's and Con's of Opposition politics and people like Shekar, Rajdeep, Bharka et all have now found new vigor to latch on to the setback Narrative. I had some belief India could achieve some level of development but now lost all hope. Its become an ego centric politics and TRP driven agendas and sensationalize public through some statements. If a party has a setback with some incident they throw some statement out there and get the media and public get triggered to mask the issue. This is the toolkit of current politics in India. One party is pushing Religious agenda since they have no choice but to protect the base and another pushing caste politics since that's the easy way to get to power. Sadly the biggest losers are going to be the states which have suffered with this caste politics for ages. The divide between the Developed and Non Developed states are only going to widen.

With covid how could such a large exercise like the census be held in 2021 or 2022. Journalists and media need to be practical when opinions are being aired. On caste the Congress strategy is clear, divide the Hindu since this Congress party of Sonia and Rahul Gandhi are very sure that they will not get majority of Hindu votes so only way to get some of the majority vote is to break up the Hindu vote on caste lines, in the immediate future they may taste success but it will not sustain going forward, voters are smarter whether journalists like it or not voters read between the lines which is why Indian election results are so unpredictable, opinion and exit pollsters would surely agree😊

[@bilalbaig8586]

For Delimitation - Only option is to take the average growth of population and multiply the same with all the parliamentary seats each state has. So for example, if population growth is 1.7 times, multiply the seats of each states with this number and trim it to nearest whole number. To improve governance and reward better performing states on population growth - they should get +1 Parliamentary seat as a reward for der good track record.
