In the landscape of Indian social policy, political leaders have long called for a "social X-ray" to understand the skeletal structure of our population. But in March 2025, with the release of the Socio, Economic, Educational, Employment, Political and Caste (SEEEPC) Survey, Telangana provided something far more diagnostic. If an X-ray merely identifies the presence of a bone, this survey functions as an MRI, revealing the "soft tissue damage"—the deep-seated deprivation and systemic scarring—that afflicts 3.55 crore people across 242 distinct castes. This monumental dataset does not merely count heads; it diagnoses a "social disparity illness." By quantifying the lived experiences of 35 million citizens, the survey challenges our most basic assumptions about who is moving forward and who is being left behind in the race for development. 1. The CBI: A New Metric for Human Dignity For decades, the currency of social justice in India has been "...

 In the context of the Telangana Socio, Economic, Educational, Employment, Political and Caste (SEEEPC) Survey , the Reddy community is classified within the General Caste (OC) category . The sources describe them as a relatively prosperous and influential group with a strong historical presence in both the agricultural and professional sectors of the state. Key characteristics of the Reddy community include: Geographic Distribution: Approximately 62% of Reddys live in rural Telangana, a figure significantly higher than other prominent General Caste groups like the Komatis, of whom only 30% reside in rural areas Dominance in Land Ownership: The Reddy community holds a historical advantage in land accumulation, owning the highest share of total land in the state relative to their population . This significant landholding status makes them primary beneficiaries of agricultural welfare schemes, such as Rythu Bharosa, Rythu Bhima, and Free Electricity for Agriculture Professional and E...

  The Central Government is set to introduce a constitutional amendment bill (The 131st Constitutional Amendment Bill) in Parliament tomorrow (April 16, 2026) to implement women's reservation. Through this bill, women will immediately receive 33% reservation in the Lok Sabha and State Legislative Assemblies. This includes a 1/3 sub-reservation for SC and ST women, and 1/3 reservation for women within the General category. However, there is no special sub-reservation for OBC (BC) women. Because this is a horizontal reservation , it applies only to categories that already have vertical reservation (SC/ST). Since OBCs lack vertical reservation in legislative bodies, OBC women are excluded from this benefit. While this reservation is undoubtedly important for increasing women's political participation and granting them a dignified place in society, it completely neglects OBC women. Great leaders like Mulayam Singh Yadav, Lalu Prasad Yadav, and Kanshi Ram had warned ...

A new industrial policy Artificial intelligence is advancing at a pace that rivals the Industrial Revolution. Unlike past cycles, market forces alone cannot manage the concentration of wealth or the displacement of human roles. A proactive, people-first policy is needed to ensure superintelligence benefits society at large. The aim is shared prosperity, risk mitigation, and democratized access to AI tools. Modernising the tax base As value shifts from human labour to automated outputs, payroll taxes erode. To sustain social programmes, revenue must be rebalanced. Capital gains and corporate taxes should capture AI-driven profits, while levies on automated labour replace lost payroll contributions. Incentives must reward firms that retrain and retain workers, ensuring AI augments rather than replaces human agency. Public Wealth Fund A Public Wealth Fund would give every citizen a direct stake in AI growth. Seeded by government and frontier AI firms, it would invest in equity, AI-adoptin...

  Artificial intelligence and the labour market The capability mirage AI can theoretically do far more than it is actually doing. The gap between those two facts is where the real story of workplace disruption lives Nagesh Bhushan T he headlines write themselves. Robots are coming for your job. The white-collar workforce faces an existential reckoning. Artificial intelligence will hollow out the professional class within a decade. These predictions are not entirely wrong — but they are, at present, substantially premature. The more interesting story is not what large language models can theoretically do. It is the yawning chasm between that potential and what they are actually doing in workplaces today. Data from the Anthropic Economic Index — which tracks real-world API usage patterns in professional settings — provides the clearest picture yet of this gap. Among computer and mathematics occupations, large language models are theoretically capable of performing 94% o...

— Dr. Tirunahari Seshu When Israel, with American support, launched strikes against Iran on February 28, few expected what followed. Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and dozens of other senior figures were killed in the opening days of the campaign. Yet defying every prediction, Iran fought on for 39 days — and in doing so, managed to manoeuvre the United States into a position from which it could not extract itself with dignity. Donald Trump, who had confidently declared the war would be over in four or five weeks, found himself searching for an honourable exit. From the outset, Iran had maintained a consistent position: this was not a war it had chosen or started; it was a war imposed upon it, and therefore those who began it must end it. The world has weathered serious conflicts before — the eight-year Iran-Iraq war, the Gulf War triggered by Iraq's invasion of Kuwait — and recovered. But this confrontation was different in scale and consequence. The joint Israeli-A...
