Caste system doesn’t exist throughout the country. Stop looking at the country as a monolith. Kerala not electing a BJP candidate isn’t the reason why I said it needs to be balkanized. BJP aren’t popular in other non communist majority states either.
Look at the North Eastern states and the rest of the country. They are literally treated as a second class citizen in their own country. If anyone says otherwise then I will slap them silly. The cultural difference between the regions are more evident than in those calling for Uyghur self determination
It should be extremely self evident from my comment that I don’t treat the country as a monolith, so I don’t really know what you are on about.
The caste system is 100% a major problem facing the country, and low caste people are also being treated as second class citizens, should they separate as well? Clearly that is out of the question.
Caste system should have been abolished when the region gained independence from the Brits.
Me wanting a balkanized India isn’t based on that. I don’t think you understood when I said the cultural difference and racism faced by a certain region of the country is the main reason why I think it should be balkanized. The entire north east isn’t Hindu either. Other than some of them being forced to convert, they aren’t part of the religion that practices caste system. Hindus performing caste system in central and north India isn’t part of my argument for balkanization.
When you force groups of regions to form a country and treat their citizens as some sort of low lying filth for 70 years then I absolutely believe that you shouldn’t be part of that country.
One option is independence, but then you are out of the fire and into the frying pan. The country will immediately be in debt and forced to take on all kinds of loans from China or the world bank and trade one set of colonizers for another. It is certainly one route, but one that comes with its own set of risks and as we know from the few countries that have remained independent, it is a very tough row to hoe.
Another possibility is to find common cause with Dalits, Naxalites, Kashmiris etc. and fight for regional/indigenous self determination and an end to religious and caste discrimination. I think an approach with a wider more internationalist approach that finds common cause will be ultimately stronger and more difficult to exploit by imperialists.
