Fake Caste Survey Report by Congress's Revanth Reddy Sparks Massive Protests in Telangana


Fake Caste Survey Report by Congress's Revanth Reddy Sparks Massive Protests in Telangana

Massive Protests from OBC Community

The Telangana Congress, led by Chief Minister Revanth Reddy, has faced massive protests from the Other Backward Classes (OBC) community following the release of a controversial caste survey report. The report has been labeled as "fake" by many and has sparked significant outrage.

MLC Teenmar Mallanna's Role in the OBC Movement

Popular OBC leader MLC Teenmar Mallanna, who has been a staunch advocate for the OBC movement and the Mandal Commission ideology, organized a grand OBC rally on February 2nd in Warangal under the aegis of BC JAC. The rally saw participation from notable figures like DMK MP and Convenor of the All India Federation for Social Justice P. Wilson MP, MP Krishnaiah, and Dr. Suraj Yadav Mandal, who arrived by helicopter from Hyderabad.

The Controversial Caste Survey

In response to the rally, the Telangana government, under CM Revanth Reddy, hastily released a partial report of the caste survey on February 4th. According to the survey, non-Muslim OBCs constitute 46.25% of the state's population, while Muslim OBCs make up 10.08%. Scheduled Castes account for 17.43%, Scheduled Tribes 10.45%, and Non-Muslim General Castes (Other Castes) are at 13.31%. The survey has been criticized for underestimating the OBC population and for discrepancies in the classification of Muslim OBCs.

Political Uproar and Allegations

The release of the survey results led to a political uproar, with allegations of errors and deliberate underestimation of the backward castes' population. The current survey's findings were compared to the much higher numbers recorded in the Samagra Kutumba Survey (SKS) conducted by the previous BRS government in 2014. Rajya Sabha MP K. Laxman accused the Congress government of manipulating data to reduce the representation of backward castes and misleading Parliament. He questioned the constitutional basis of distinguishing between "Hindu backward castes" and "Muslim backward castes" and accused the Congress of ignoring the Mandal Commission recommendations.

OBC Community's Protest

The Telangana OBC community, represented by the Telangana BC Intellectual Forum, has widely opposed the report, with protests including tearing up copies of the caste survey report. MLC Teenmar Mallanna, who reaches millions of viewers daily through his YouTube channel / Teenmar Mallanna News, showed footage of a burning copy of the survey report, explaining the perceived conspiracy against OBCs.

Government Accused of Bias

Critics have dubbed the Revath Reddy-led Congress government in Telangana as a "Government by the Reddy, For the Reddy, and By the Reddy," highlighting the dominance of Reddy individuals in government boards and institutions.

Show Cause Notice to Teenmar Mallanna

Telangana Congress leader Dr. G Chinna Reddy, who came to power with the support of OBC votes, has issued a show-cause notice to Teenmar Mallanna for raising OBC issues.

Support for Teenmar Mallanna

Teenmar Mallanna has garnered widespread support, with hashtags like #SupportCasteCensus, #TeenmarMallanna, #Remove_EVM_Save_Country, and #DefeatBJPSaveIndia trending on social media.

Unveiling the "Real Majority" of India

Unveiling the "Real Majority": Divya Dwivedi’s Critique of the Hindu Majority Narrative * In contemporary Indian discourse, the notion of a "Hindu majority" is often taken as an unassailable fact, with official statistics frequently citing approximately 80% of India’s population as Hindu. This framing shapes political campaigns, cultural narratives, and even national identity. However, philosopher and professor at IIT Delhi, Divya Dwivedi, challenges this narrative in her provocative and incisive work, arguing that the "Hindu majority" is a constructed myth that obscures the true social composition of India. For Dwivedi, the "real majority" comprises the lower-caste communities—historically marginalized and oppressed under the caste system—who form the numerical and social backbone of the nation. Her critique, developed in collaboration with philosopher Shaj Mohan, offers a radical rethinking of Indian society, exposing the mechanisms of power t...

Mallanna Unleashes TRP: A New Dawn for Marginalized Voices in Telangana's Power Game

On September 17, 2025, Chintapandu Naveen Kumar, popularly known as Teenmar Mallanna—a prominent Telugu journalist, YouTuber, and former Congress MLC—launched the Telangana Rajyadhikara Party (TRP) in Hyderabad at the Taj Krishna Hotel. The event, attended by Backward Classes (BC) intellectuals, former bureaucrats, and community leaders, marked a significant moment for marginalized groups in Telangana. Mallanna, suspended from Congress in March 2025 for anti-party activities (including criticizing and burning the state's caste survey report), positioned TRP as a dedicated platform for BCs, Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), minorities, and the economically weaker sections. The party's vision emphasizes "Samajika Telangana" (a socially just Telangana) free from fear, hunger, corruption, and prejudice, with a focus on inclusive development and responsible governance. Key highlights from the launch: Symbolism : The date coincided with Periyar Jayanti and V...

Casteist Indian Bankers: Caste Bias Still Haunts Indian Banking

The Problem: Caste discrimination continues to plague the Indian banking sector, limiting access to credit for millions of lower-caste citizens. Data Point: A study  found that Scheduled Tribes (STs) face a 5-7% lower loan approval rate compared to higher castes, even after controlling for socioeconomic factors. How it Works: Discrimination in Action: Lower-caste individuals often encounter: Higher rejection rates for loan applications. Smaller loan amounts compared to higher-caste applicants. Less favorable terms, such as higher interest rates and stricter collateral requirements. The "Depositors, Not Borrowers" Mindset: Banks often view lower-caste individuals primarily as depositors, not as creditworthy borrowers. The Impact: Limited Economic Mobility: Restricted access to credit hampers entrepreneurship, reduces income growth, and perpetuates poverty cycles within marginalized communities. Reliance on Informal Lenders: The lack of access to formal ba...
