@vvaayu Not sure why you are presumptuous..
My point is not that V4 are not conservative...Far from it
But rather, articulation of "social conservatism" in a political context takes the form of defending varNa, social hierarchy, brahminical privileges- which doesn't work in a V4 nation

@vvaayu Of course V4 are culturally v conservative...Most OBC castes are.....True across India..
But social conservatism in India is not so much about defending "gender roles", or early marriage...
Rather it always boils down to varNa, its relationship with religion, etc

@vvaayu E.g. If you take the likes of Laloo, Mulayam (big Yadav leaders) -
Some of their stances are socially conservative (they oppose women's reservation )
But when it comes to caste, they will take anti-UC stances. And their constituency likes that
