NDA should conduct caste census if it cares about Hinduism, says A Raja in Lok Sabha

New Delhi: The government must conduct a caste-based census in the country if it cares about Hinduism, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) MP Andimuthu Raja said Monday in the Lok Sabha, replying on the Motion of Thanks to President Droupadi Murmu’s address.“We are all Hindus, but the question is which kind,” Raja said, adding that a caste-based census was necessary to answer that question. He said while the division of labour was a universal reality, the Hindu religion had been distorted to misinterpret it as “division of labourers” in the last 2,000 years.

Do coalition governments slow down the economic reforms agenda?

Do coalition governments end up making too many policy concessions? K.K. Kailash: This question is based on two assumptions which need to be cleared.

Comparative studies show that this is not necessarily true. Second, that a single-party government behaves as a unitary actor. Once we remove these two assumptions, we will see that differences between coalitions and single-party governments have actually reduce. There will always be competing ideas and interests and as a consequence, we are likely to see policy compromises and bargains in both.
