Ep. 14: Haryana - Caste competition and conflict (feat. Ankur Bhardwaj)
Manage episode 233036963 series 2483430
In this episode, we are joined by Ankur Bhardwaj, Senior Editor at Business Standard to talk about the State of Haryana which goes to the polls in the 6th phase of polling. Assembly elections are also scheduled a few months after Lok Sabha polls suggesting that both could be impacted by the same trends and patterns. While the Jat community has dominated politics in the state of Haryana, the inter-caste violence that broke out in 2016 over reservation and many other issues exposed the political and social fault lines among the "chattis biradari" of Haryana. How have political parties moved to consolidate their support among various communities? Are we seeing a re-alignment among communities along very different party lines? Join us as we discuss these and more issues with Ankur.
