Now you don’t like it! Didn’t you tell me that wherever there is domination, we should discuss it in Political Science? Will caste disappear if we keep mum about it?
Answer
In Political Science, we explore power dynamics, domination, and structures that perpetuate inequality. Discussing caste is essential precisely because it has historically been a dominant force in Indian society. Silence won’t make caste disappear; it’s through dialogue and understanding that change can occur. Political Science explores policies and governance. Discussing caste informs us about affirmative action, reservations, and social justice policies.
