Opinion: Sub-Grouping SCs | 'Prioritise', Not Prefer, Treating More Injured
Unlike physical injuries such as bruises, lacerations and burns, injuries caused by discrimination may not be visible to the naked eye. It is hard to figure out who is injured, and in what ways. Among other things, empirical exercises such as censuses are helpful in viewing the aggregate effects of discrimination. The census of 2021 remains suspended, and the need for a caste census is selectively realised in the state of Bihar. Yet, statistical information is not the sole basis for state action. The executive, the legislature and the judiciary are frequently called upon to make decisions on matters of reservation and other forms of affirmative action.
Reservations Are Not 'Exceptions'
Judges have long delved into the doctrinal justifications for caste-based reservations since early days of the Supreme Court's decision in the State of Madras v. Champakam Dorairajan (1951). These justifications have invoked constitutional ideas of a welfare state, equality, non-discrimination, equal opportunity, and adequate representation. Non-discrimination has been often invoked in opposition to reservations. In a paradox of sorts, this opposition views all caste-based reservations as fundamentally discriminatory. At the very best, begrudgingly or graciously, as a charitable concession perhaps, this opposition accepts reservations as an "exception" to the principle of equality.
On the other hand, it has taken an exceptionally large bench of nine Supreme Court judges in Indra Sawhney & Others v. Union of India (1992), to clarify that reservations are not exceptions but provisions of equality. The doctrinal understanding of affirmative action in the US has taken similarly dialectical positions. The more avid supporters of affirmative action characterise it as a remedy against discrimination; other supporters characterise it as an exception to the anti-discrimination doctrine, while the opposition characterise affirmative action as an unjustifiable "preferential treatment".
An impugned legislation currently pending adjudication appears to have lapsed into the framework of preference. Section 4(5) of the Punjab Scheduled Castes and Backward Classes (Reservation in Services) Act, 2006 provides "a first preference" to Balmikis and Mazhabi Sikhs in 50% of the quota reserved for Scheduled Castes (SC). A five-judge constitution bench in E.V. Chinnaiah v State of Andhra Pradesh (2004) had disallowed such subclassification because it was considered manipulation of the originally notified list of the SC. Now, the fate of the impugned provision hangs in the hands of a larger seven-judge constitutional bench.
The 'Creamy Layer' Debate
The word 'preference' has invoked corresponding ideas of preferential treatment that are inimical to the doctrinal foundations of reservations. It invokes the same dialectical positions previously raised between the reserved categories of the SC and the unreserved General categories. Only now must the so-called preferential treatment be justified within the SC categories, setting intense intra-group rivalries among the SCs. Troubling questions arise over who is more discriminated against, more dehumanised, subordinated, marginalised, disadvantaged, oppressed, silenced, erased, and victimised.
On the other hand, Justice Gavai has pointed to internal hierarchies and historical practices of "untouchability" among the SC groups. He reportedly said, "Were they (scavengers) not untouchables amongst the untouchables?" This slippery slope will raise more questions about the caste-specificity in the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989, such that the SC persons cannot be perpetrators of offences (under Section 3 thereof) against other SC persons.
On Substantive Equality
This conundrum is, inadvertently and partly, an offshoot of the preferential treatment discourse. In the first instance, it could have been avoided by substituting the word 'preference' with priority in the Punjab Act. It would only be a minor discursive strategy, a sidestepping of sorts. It would not make a substantial difference.
As Chief Justice D.Y. Chandrachud has obliquely hinted, the existing jurisprudence on substantive equality in India is robust enough to uphold the constitutionality of sub-classification of SC groups.
In conclusion, to answer the hypothetical question at the start of this opinion, if I were a functionary of the state, I would give respite to the one who is more severely injured. I would do this as a reasoned prioritising (of scarce resources), not as a whimsical preference of one subordinate group over another.

Dalit conference charts an agenda of upliftment
The conference underscored the absence of a popular Dalit movement like that in JV Pawar’s time and spoke of reviving it
Pawar was speaking at the daylong Dalit Agenda conference on Saturday at the Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Bhavan in Dadar East—the first Mumbai gathering after the formation of the All India Independent Scheduled Castes Association (AIISCA) in October 2023. The conference underscored the absence of a popular Dalit movement like that in Pawar’s time and spoke of reviving it. The Dalit Panthers themselves disbanded in 1977 due to internal fissures.
“Such a movement no longer exists because people are scared,” continued Pawar, giving the example of the central government imprisoning scholar-writer Anand Teltumbde among others. Echoing another symptom of the larger malaise, Rahul Sonpimple, president of AIISCA, said that Dalit politics was in decline in Maharashtra and all over the country. “This is why we felt the need for an autonomous Dalit movement which unites all the scheduled castes under one agenda,” he said.
“AIISCA aims to be a pan-Indian social movement—political but not electoral,” said Sonpimple. “What we are doing is building a Dalit agenda—by first detailing the need for one, collating the different issues faced by the SC community and discussing how to go about solving them.”
Like with the previous conference, a variety of academics, researchers, activists and student leaders, largely from Maharashtra, were called for a series of panel discussions. They talked about their perspectives and experiences, emphasising areas that they considered important in the fight. “What we envision is a cadre-based grassroots organisation which will unite all scheduled castes across states, genders and ages,” said Sonpimple.
The Dalit Agenda, as it stands right now, has several demands. Some of these are equitable land distribution, an end to atrocities on Dalits (Maharashtra saw 2,743 atrocities as per the Crime in India report, 2022) and rehabilitation for workers and their families engaged in manual scavenging. Education was another significant topic, given the poor literacy rates among Dalits—even in Mumbai, school dropout rates among Dalits were high, said Sonpimple. While there were demands to improve these statistics, there emerged a demand for Dalit-led educational institutions too.
The scarce faculty positions given to Dalits was another issue. Abhijit Waghre, AIISCA’s Maharashtra treasurer and IIM-B researcher, said that despite talk of diversity within institutions, he had encountered few others from SC communities in them. “Discrimination happens at the level of recruitment too,” he said. “Dalits are interviewed but considered inadequate for the job.”
A particular focus of the conference was the economic conditions of the SC community. Sonpimple remarked that despite the union budget having a fund allocation for the welfare of SCs and STs, to be used solely for this agenda, it was being used for general welfare schemes. As this separate allocation is only a scheme, its disuse and misuse is not enforceable by law. “This should change,” said Sonpimple. “The allocation should be made a law so that not using it for its purpose becomes an offence.”
Related to this was the demand to extend reservations to the private sector. A speaker remarked that this was not a new demand. “But as many government sectors, like banks, are being privatised, the pool of jobs designated for the social and economic upliftment of Dalits is getting smaller,” he said. “As a result, most people from the scheduled castes have insecure jobs in the informal sector and remain poor.”
Combining all these issues and demands was an underlying thread of Ambedkarite philosophy, emphasised writer and former professor Asha Lata Kamble. “The Ambedkarite philosophy is needed for progress so that the mentality of superiority among castes can be dismantled,” she said.
For a movement with such grand goals, reaching the fervour attained by the Dalit Panther movement will take a lot of work. “There are three levels to such movements,” said Surekha Paithane. “One is events like these where one sits in halls and forms the agenda. This is then carried forward by us ordinary people, by keeping the conversation alive. But what is most essential is the work at the grassroots level, reaching every little house in every gully. This is where the movement ferments.”
In this vein, the next step of the movement is to embark on a yatra in Maharashtra. Plans for this will be sketched out on Sunday, said Sonpimple, where others working in the area will be consulted, keeping the many disparate movements united.
Telangana: 17-yr-old Dalit girl found hanging in welfare college hostel
While it appeared to be a suicide, the family has alleged foul play.
Hyderabad: A 17-year-old Dalit girl was found hanging in a welfare hostel in Telangana’s Suryapet district on Saturday, February 11.

The girl had participated in a farewell party before the incident. The police are investigating the case, and the family’s allegations are being looked into.
This tragic incident has raised concerns about the well-being and safety of students in welfare hostels, particularly those from marginalized communities.
A thorough investigation is underway to determine the cause of the girl’s death and to address any potential lapses in the hostel’s security and welfare measures.

Dalit Couple Get Police Protection For Marriage
Protection Was Sought Keeping In Mind An Earlier Incident Of Violence
A Dalit couple was married under state protection in Dangarva village of Detroj taluka of Ahmedabad district on Sunday. This was after a local activist, Kirit Rathod, sought police protection for the bridal procession highlighting an earlier attack on a Dalit marriage procession by member of the OBC community on May 26, 2022.
Rathod had written to the mamlatdar fearing a repeat of the incident where six members of the OBC community had been booked for assault, rioting and under the Atrocity Act for hitting Dalit members in the bridal procession with sticks in a fight over songs played on DJ. Protection was provided to one Kala Makwana’s daughter, who married a resident of Bapunagar.
The procession went through the village peacefully and the ceremony was held with much splendour amidst tight security, and ended without any untoward incident.AM

Dalit activists oppose sub-categorisation of Scheduled Castes over reservation benefits
Some of them argued that if the SCs had to be sub-categorised simply because certain Dalit groups tended to secure a larger share of the reservation benefits, forward castes that outstrip other forward castes in securing jobs and seats should also have upper limits imposed on them
Basant Kumar Mohanty, New Delhi
Dalit groups and activists are largely against any sub-categorisation of the Scheduled Castes in the context of reservation, as proposed by the Union government, seeing in it a ploy to divide the community and weaken it politically.
Some of them argued that if the SCs had to be sub-categorised simply because certain Dalit groups tended to secure a larger share of the reservation benefits, forward castes that outstrip other forward castes in securing jobs and seats should also have upper limits imposed on them.
Last week, a constitution bench of the Supreme Court ended the hearing of a plea for a clarification on the subject of sub-categorisation of SCs and reserved its verdict.
The Centre and several state governments want a sub-categorisation on the ground that certain better-off Dalit groups have hogged the benefits of reservation.
However, there’s no clarity on the methodology for the proposed sub-categorisation — whether it would be caste-based or individual (family)-based, and whether there will be sub-quotas or a “creamy layer” exclusion, as with the OBCs.
Amol Meshram, a member of the Amebdkerite Association for Academics, said sub-categorisation would decrease the number of Dalit beneficiaries.
“At present, many (higher-education) seats and jobs meant for SCs and STs are not filled on the ground of a shortage of suitable candidates,” he said.
“If seats and jobs are reserved according to sub-categories or if some groups are excluded, the vacancies are likely to increase further.”
He added: “Unless the government ensures quality education for the children of all castes, mere exclusion of the (relatively) advanced castes among the SCs, or a limiting of the quota benefits for them, will not help.”
Avatthi Ramaiah, a Dalit professor at the Centre of Study for Social Exclusion and Inclusive Policy, Tata Institute of Social Sciences, said any sub-categorisation or exclusion should involve individual Dalit families and must not be extended to entire castes within the community.
“The individuals who have benefited significantly from reservation, to the extent that it has helped them overcome social backwardness, can be identified based on scientific criteria,” he said.
“But exclusion from the quota or limiting the quota benefits (through a sub-quota) for any caste would affect the deprived households within that caste (even if that caste is, as a whole, comparatively less deprived).”
Ramaiah said that if the objective was to ensure that no caste or community was over-represented in jobs or educational institutions, the principle should apply to the forward castes too.
“If over-representation is the problem, the government must set an upper limit on the entry of (the more privileged) forward castes into the civil service and the judiciary,” he said.
“The higher positions in the bureaucracy and the judiciary are dominated by a few castes whose cumulative share in the population is not more than 10 per cent.”
Ramaiah said the standard argument about the forward castes getting into elite jobs on the basis of merit was problematic. “Merit today is measured through output without looking at the input. SCs and STs continually receive negative inputs from childhood,” he said.
