Blue India Party Lauds Rohith Vemula Act, Extols Rahul Gandhi, and Urges Nationwide Adoption with Payal Tadvi Inclusion

The Blue India Party vociferously endorses the Rohith Vemula Act, a seminal legislative endeavor to extirpate caste-based discrimination in India’s educational institutions. We extol Shri Rahul Gandhi, Member of Parliament, for his indomitable advocacy of this transformative statute, which honors the memory of Dalit scholar Rohith Vemula, whose tragic demise in 2016 at the University of Hyderabad catalyzed national outrage. We commend the Karnataka Government, under Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri Siddaramaiah, for its alacrity in advancing this legislation.

The Blue India Party implores Karnataka to amend the Act to encompass Dr. Payal Tadvi, a tribal medical student who succumbed to casteist persecution in 2019, renaming it the Rohith Vemula-Payal Tadvi Act. This nomenclature would venerate their legacies and underscore the imperative to redress intersecting oppressions faced by Dalit and Adivasi communities.

We exhort the Government of Telangana, where Rohith’s tragedy transpired, to promulgate an analogous Rohith Vemula-Payal Tadvi Act to safeguard marginalized students, particularly given the state’s dilatory response to institutional injustices. We further adjure all Indian states to emulate Karnataka’s paradigm, enacting commensurate legislation to ensure educational equity and dignity, as epitomized by the aspirations of Rohith, Payal, and Darshan Solanki.

The Blue India Party stands resolute with marginalized communities and Shri Rahul Gandhi’s clarion call to abolish systemic inequities. We advocate a national movement to entrench the Rohith Vemula-Payal Tadvi Act, fostering an educational milieu where every student flourishes unimpeded by prejudice.

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...
