Dalits, Tribals constitute over 26% of India’s population. That’s 1 out of 4 persons in India.
But do you see as many of them in your offices, high positions or apartment complexes?
Your answer sums up the ground reality. That’s why India needs to continue focusing on them...

Continued focus on Dalits, Tribals means education, capacity building, hand holding for upward mobility, affirmative action in every sector including private & continued reservations.
No nation can progress beyond a point if majority of its population remains dispossessed.

Leaders who fought for independence and framed our constitution were overwhelmingly upper caste. Then why did they support reservations & focus on Dalits, Tribals?
Because
a) they believed in equality
b) they understood that if over 70% population is remains dispossessed...3/n

Countries grow when every citizen,who is also a human resource is nurtured & facilitated to contribute optimally.
It’s like companies. If most of the assets r under-performing or idle what will be the result? 4/n

Contrary to upper caste belief, they r actually not supporting others at their cost.
If only less than 30% share the burden of high growth & over 70% r not equipped to contribute fully, growth just won’t happen. Strong nations emerge on the strong shoulders of every citizen 5/n

Also the argument of helping them in every other manner possible, except reservations won’t work.
Because other facilities help in economic upliftment, reservations facilitate share in decision making structures.That’s why affirmative actions are a global practice.
