Naveen Yadav’s Victory in Jubilee Hills By-Election: A Turning Point in Telangana Politics

The triumph of BC candidate Naveen Yadav in the Jubilee Hills by-election is not merely the victory of one candidate—it is a historic roar symbolising the political self-respect, dignity, unity, and struggle for social justice of the Backward Classes (BCs).

Although BCs form the majority of voters in this constituency, dominant caste parties have long ignored this reality, traditionally awarding tickets only to their own. This time was no different: both the BJP and BRS fielded Reddy–Kamma candidates. In contrast, Congress put forward BC candidate Naveen Yadav.The decision to grant tickets to upper castes pushed years of pent-up BC dissatisfaction into the ballot box like a tidal wave.

The statewide BC movement gaining momentum, the local BC majority, and rising aspirations for representation—these three forces converged to polarise the BC vote.Frustration over the denial of seats to BCs exploded in the form of votes.

It was not just a vote… it was a verdict of self-respect. As a result, Naveen Yadav secured a majority of nearly 25,000 votes.

This outcome sends five clear messages to Telangana politics:1️⃣ A new political principle: “BC votes—for BCs only”
The result proves that BC votes are now firmly tied to the party that fields BC candidates.2️⃣ BC unity is now an unstoppable force
BC solidarity is growing rapidly in every constituency.
It is emerging as a power capable of completely reshaping the state’s political equations in the future.3️⃣ End of the “winning horse” upper-caste mindset
The era of assuming dominant castes will win if given tickets is over.
This result warns: “If you don’t give BCs tickets… even your ‘winning horse’ will fall.”4️⃣ Farewell to sympathy politics
The culture of awarding tickets to widows or family members after a leader’s death has been rejected.
BCs rejected sympathy drama.
BCs now demand rights only.5️⃣ The day dominant caste fortresses crumbled
Upper-caste hegemony in politics ended in this by-election.

The result makes clear that upper-caste-based management politics is no longer easy. It warns that without seats for BCs, downfall is inevitable.“Naveen Yadav’s victory” means “BC society’s victory.”

This win is a turning point for political change.
“Respect our numbers, recognise our rights, give us our seats.”
This is the signal of victory in the BC struggle for Hissa (share) – Izzat (dignity) – Hukumat (power).

It is a powerful boost to the sentiment: “As much as we are, that much is ours.”Naveen Yadav’s victory is not just an individual win—
it is a symbol of BC society’s political awakening. It is a compass for the coming BC political empowerment. It is the signal of the beginning of the BC era in Telangana.

Jai BC! Jai Jai BC!

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...

India had 192 think tanks in 2014, which surged to 612 by 2021, reflecting a notable rise in nationalist-oriented institutions like the India Foundation and the Vivekananda International Foundation  This growth is part of a broader strategy to challenge leftist intellectual dominance and promote a "New India" ideology through policy research and public discourse. The main goals of RSS-affiliated think tanks include: Promoting Hindutva Ideology : They aim to spread the ideology of Hindutva to strengthen the Hindu community and uphold Indian culture and civilizational values Challenging Leftist Dominance : These think tanks seek to counter the intellectual hegemony of leftist ideologies in India, providing an alternative narrative in policy discourse Supporting Government Policies : They produce research and reports that s...
