Harman's record as captain untouchable, she has another 4-5 years to offer: Jhulan Goswami
Harmanpreet Kaur winning the Women’s ODI World Cup and couple of WPL trophies till date makes her captaincy record “untouchable” and the 36-year-old still has another four-five years to offer to Indian cricket, reckons her long-time India teammate Jhulan Goswami.
"What she has done for Indian cricket, what she has done for Mumbai Indians and franchisee cricket, it is phenomenal,” Jhulan, MI’s bowling coach and team mentor, told PTI here on Wednesday.
Arguably India's finest pacer said the team’s gesture of celebrating the World Cup win with former players including herself, Mithali Raj, Anjum Chopra and Reema Malhotra was something that was not planned.
“I don’t think at that time we can exchange any word, that was absolutely pure emotions coming out. I must thank Harman, Smriti (Mandhana) and the entire team who came up with it, it was not planned,” Jhulan said.
“We were doing broadcast work and were told by our producer that while they are thanking the crowd, we could ask one (or two) question. But the way those girls come forward towards us and celebrate that moment, I don't think so Indian cricket or any sports has ever seen this kind of gesture what they gave to us.” Harmanpreet will lead the defending champions MI in the fourth edition of the WPL but with one significant change to otherwise a similar-looking squad, with Australia’s Lisa Keightley replacing England’s Charlotte Edwards as their head coach.
Jhulan said Lisa, along with imbibing and continuing the philosophy of the team, brings the idea of playing fearless cricket.
“That's the thing Charlotte started and now Lisa has come, she also brings that kind of mindset that we need to play fearless cricket,” she said.
Jhuland said being able to retain most of their players makes Mumbai Indians such a strong franchise.
“If you go through the last year final, I think mostly out of the (playing) eleven, we were able to bring back nine,” she said, “That was a huge challenge for us, having our own setup, own core players. And why we're supporting our own players? Because they have done so well, they have performed well for our franchise, they bring a lot of values." “Having Haley Matthews, Nat Sciver-Brunt, Harmanpreet, Amelia Kerr, Shabnim Ismail, Amanjot Kaur… those all are very exciting international cricketers, and they have been performing so well throughout the year,” Jhulan added.
Jhulan backed MI spinner Saika Ishaque, who claimed 15 wickets in their maiden title win in 2023, to come good after going through her share of struggles.
“(In the) first season she was unbelievable and (she had) a dream run but after that, I think she was a little bit struggling with her fitness,” Jhulan replied when asked why Saika was not able to build on her impressive debut season.
“These things happen. She had a little bit of niggles over here and there, and those are the things that happen. In the first year, probably people were not aware of her (bowling style) much, and (in the) second they planned well and played against her in a better way."
Jhulan agreed with the assessment of Australia players Meg Lanning and Ashleigh Gardner, who will lead UP Warriorz and Gujarat Giants respectively, that Indian domestic players are giving a strong competition to the seasoned pros.
“It was going to happen. First season, they were not aware of those things, like how to approach a WPL tournament. They had never been in those kind of situations and had never played in front of big crowds, or seen the kind of glamour things,” Jhulan said.
"The amount of fitness (work) those international girls were doing, our domestic girls was not prepared that much." “But over the period of time, our girls have been improved, and they have come a long way to minimise that gap with international players and the domestic players."
Caste-based discrimination alleged at Coimbatore village tea shop

Row erupts over alleged excess SC/ST representation in Karnataka government jobs
BENGALURU: A fresh controversy has erupted over reservation in government employment, with critics alleging that the representation of certain categories in many Karnataka departments, especially in Group A and B posts, has surged well beyond the prescribed limits.
This has triggered anger among some groups. According to figures cited by some employees, who have petitioned the government, Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe representation in certain cadres now ranges between 30% and 50%, sharply higher than their estimated population share of about 24% combined -- SC --17%, ST -7%. Despite repeated petitions flagging the imbalance, the state government is accused of maintaining the status quo, allegedly ignoring court directions and constitutional mandates on proportionality.
The issue has sparked protests and mounting resentment, with general category groups claiming there is no institutional mechanism to even hear their grievances. With SC/ST employees together reportedly accounting for around 26% of the total workforce, critics argue that filling backlog vacancies without a thorough audit would further skew representation.
The petitioners demand a comprehensive, recruitment-wise audit, including data on sanctioned posts, filled positions, backlog vacancies and current openings, to restore transparency and fairness in public appointments.
They insisted that such an exercise is essential, particularly after recent judicial scrutiny under the Pavitra framework. The Karnataka government is yet to respond to the allegations. As the state moves ahead with sub-classification within SC quotas, the growing row highlights deepening tensions over affirmative action policy, equity and constitutional compliance in public employment — an issue now poised to spill into courts.
Experts said this serious anomaly has occurred because when two or three positions are advertised, as is normally done in government jobs, they give reservation proportionally. When taken cumulatively over a 10 or 20-year period, when over 100 job positions have been filled up, reserved categories have received far greater number of jobs and this has not been addressed so far, they said.
How Mayawati’s Opportunistic Alliances Helped Re-strengthen BJP–Hindutva and Confused Dalits
Mayawati’s political career represents a paradox in contemporary Dalit politics. On the one hand, she symbolized unprecedented Dalit political power; on the other, her opportunistic alliances—especially with the BJP—produced long-term ideological and political consequences that strengthened Hindutva and disoriented Dalit political consciousness.
While these alliances were often justified as tactical necessities for governance, they normalized collaboration between Dalit leadership and a political ideology fundamentally hostile to Ambedkarite values. This brief argues that Mayawati’s coalition politics unintentionally helped legitimize BJP–Hindutva, fragmented Dalit resistance, and created deep confusion about the political and moral direction of Dalit emancipation.
1. Normalization of BJP as a “Legitimate Partner” for Dalit Politics
1.1 Breaking the Anti-Brahmanical Political Consensus
Historically, Ambedkarite politics viewed Brahmanism and majoritarian Hindu nationalism as structural enemies of Dalit liberation. Mayawati’s repeated alliances with the BJP in Uttar Pradesh (1995, 1997, 2002) broke this moral boundary.
By treating the BJP as a negotiable partner rather than an ideological adversary: Hindutva was normalized within Dalit political imagination, Anti-caste resistance was reduced to bargaining and as such the BJP gained legitimacy among sections of Dalits as “non-hostile.” This legitimization was a major ideological gain for Hindutva.
1.2 Moral Laundering of Hindutva Through Dalit Leadership
When a Dalit-led party governed in alliance with the BJP, it allowed Hindutva forces to claim: Inclusivity, Social justice credentials and Distance from caste oppression.
This “moral laundering” diluted critiques of Hindutva as an upper-caste project and helped the BJP project itself as compatible with Dalit aspirations, despite its ideological roots in Manusmriti-friendly traditions.
2. Weakening of Ideological Resistance to Hindutva
2.1 From Ideological Opposition to Tactical Silence
During alliance periods, the BSP muted criticism of: Hindu majoritarianism, RSS ideology, Attacks on minorities and Cultural homogenization.
This silence had two effects: It weakened Dalit–minority solidarity and it normalized Hindutva discourse in the public sphere.
Hindutva thrives not only on support but also on the absence of principled opposition.
2.2 Dilution of Ambedkar’s Anti-Hindu Orthodoxy
Ambedkar’s critique of Hinduism was radical and uncompromising. Mayawati’s alliances required softening this critique to avoid antagonizing BJP partners and Hindu voters.
Consequently: Ambedkar was projected mainly as a constitutionalist, not a religious dissenter. His Buddhist turn was sidelined. His critique of Brahmanism was depoliticized.
This ideological dilution indirectly strengthened Hindutva’s cultural hegemony.
3. Fragmentation and Confusion Within the Dalit Community
3.1 Contradictory Political Messaging
Dalits were told simultaneously that: the BJP was historically oppressive, the BJP was a necessary ally and the BJP could be trusted for governance.
This contradiction confused political consciousness, especially among younger Dalits. Politics appeared not as a moral struggle but as opportunistic deal-making.
3.2 Decline of Ideological Education
Under Mayawati, Dalit political mobilization relied more on: Electoral appeals, welfare distribution, symbolic assertion and less on: Ambedkarite education, political literacy, and ideological training.
Without ideological grounding, many Dalits: Drifted toward BJP narratives, adopted Hindutva symbolism and became vulnerable to cultural co-optation.
3.3 Electoral Demoralization
When Mayawati alternated between opposing and supporting the BJP, Dalit voters experienced: Disillusionment, Cynicism, and political fatigue.
This demoralization reduced long-term loyalty to Ambedkarite politics and made Dalits more open to BJP’s direct outreach through welfare populism and identity engineering.
4. Strategic Benefits for BJP–Hindutva
4.1 Time and Space to Expand Among Dalits
Mayawati’s alliances gave the BJP: administrative legitimacy, political breathing space, and time to build Dalit outreach programs.
During and after these alliances, the BJP expanded: Dalit wings, appropriation of Ambedkar symbols and welfare-based Dalit engagement.
Once the BJP no longer needed BSP support, it absorbed sections of the Dalit vote independently.
4.2 Undermining Dalit–Minority Unity
BSP’s alignment with BJP weakened Dalit–Muslim political solidarity, historically crucial in UP.
This fragmentation: helped BJP consolidate Hindu votes across caste lines, reduced the effectiveness of anti-majoritarian coalitions and enabled Hindutva’s “pan-Hindu” narrative.
4.3 Reinforcing the BJP’s Pragmatic Image
By cooperating with a Dalit-led party, BJP projected itself as: flexible, development-oriented and post-caste.
This image was crucial in expanding its base beyond traditional upper-caste supporters and consolidating power nationally.
5. Long-Term Consequences for Dalit Politics
5.1 Ideological Disarmament
Repeated opportunism weakened the moral clarity of Dalit politics. Ambedkarism was reduced to: electoral symbolism, personality-centric loyalty, and welfare-based bargaining.
Without ideological sharpness, resistance to Hindutva became shallow and inconsistent.
5.2 Collapse of BSP as an Ideological Alternative
When BSP declined electorally, it left behind: no strong ideological institutions, no mass social movement and no cohesive counter-narrative to Hindutva.
This vacuum was filled rapidly by the BJP.
5.3 Shift of Dalit Youth Away from BSP
Disillusioned Dalit youth increasingly turned to: student movements, rights-based activism, new Ambedkarite formations and often explicitly critical of BSP’s alliance politics.
Conclusion
Mayawati’s opportunistic alliances—particularly with the BJP—were not merely tactical missteps; they had structural ideological consequences. By normalizing Hindutva as a political partner, diluting Ambedkarite critique, and confusing Dalit political consciousness, these alliances indirectly helped re-strengthen BJP–Hindutva.
While Mayawati achieved short-term political power, the long-term cost was high: Dalit ideological resistance weakened, Hindutva gained legitimacy and space and Dalit politics lost moral and strategic clarity.
Ambedkar warned that political power without moral and ideological independence leads to subordination. Mayawati’s alliances tragically validated this warning. For Dalit emancipation to regain strength, politics must once again be rooted in principle, ideology, and ethical opposition to caste-Hindu dominance, rather than opportunistic arithmetic.
