Mayawati vs Ram Vilas Paswan: A ding-dong battle for Dalit politics

Dalit

By Soroor Ahmed, TwoCircles.net, The decimation of Mayawati-led hitherto strong Bahujan Samaj Party in Uttar Pradesh and the revival of the virtually defunct Dalit outfit of Bihar, Lok Janshakti Party, deserve an objective study. The former failed to open its account notwithstanding the fact that it managed to get about one-fifth votes of UP while fighting alone, whereas in Bihar the LJP won six seats when it got just 6.4 per cent votes. The only difference is that it contested in alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party.

Purifying Your Wealth and Targeting Poverty and Inequality

Dalit

By Althaf Shajahan, Running regressions and making sense of data is my job. We were working on a sort of data analysis where we had to consider different socio-economic groups and using data on three variables, viz. household income, consumption and assets which would together measure something we may term us material well-being and compute an inequality adjusted index value for each group. As expected, Dalits, Adivasis and Muslims fared the worst. Yeah! What’s new in this? Sachar report and every possible report speak about this. Well here, the index needs to be explained. Our index measures household indicators of well. While it aggregates across all the members of the groups, it discounts for the inequality among the members. (Refer the original computations in the figure below ). While searching the data for Muslim cases, I did see observations on Muslim community members who belong to the top percentiles and quintiles of either income or wealth. It is this inequality that makes me mull over. Intra-community inequality is not the concern of the state. While it is possible for Muslims as citizens of this nation to ask for state support and schemes citing their vulnerability as much as Dalits or Adivasis are, public policy may or may not consider it. But the inbuilt poverty and inequality targeting systems needs to be looked at.
