The rise of caste in West Bengal

Nearly three weeks before five Dalits entered a Shiva temple at Purba Bardhaman district under police protection, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee made a statement about her caste in the State Assembly that largely went unnoticed.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leadership has been urging all Hindus to unite against the Trinamool before the 2026 Assembly elections. The party has coined a new slogan, “Hindu Hindu bhai bhai, 2026 BJP Chai (All Hindus must unite: In 2026 we want BJP)”.The Leader ...
