And what happened to National Herald ?

In Bihar, where upper castes constitute less than 15 per cent of the population, the BJP alliance got a combined vote percentage of 34.1 per cent while that of the Mahagathbandhan was 41.9. While both the alliances witnessed a decline in vote share compared to the 2014 Lok Sabha elections wherein the combined vote share of Mahagathbandhan and NDA was 45.04 per cent and 36.36 respectively, the former has seen a decline of relatively more votes, 3.14 per cent to the NDA’s 2.26.

Secondly, in terms of core social base, the Mahagathbandhan hinged upon the triad of Muslims, Yadavs and Kurmis who alone constitute around 35 per cent of the state electorate, while the NDA was comfortably placed among upper castes, Banias and Paswans who constitute almost 25 per cent of the total electorate. Besides, the NDA was expected to do better among Mahadalits due to its association with Jitanram Manjhi. Another BJP ally Upendra Kushvaha, hailing from Kushvaha/Koeri caste, is yet to emerge as the supreme leader of his caste and could not match the status that Lalu, Nitish Kumar and Ramvilas Paswan enjoy in their respective castes. In this respect and for the sake of analysis, assuming the core support bases of the two respective alliances to be constant, the NDA seems to have got almost 9 per cent vote beyond its core support base (Upper caste, Bania and Paswan) while the same in the case of Mahagathbandhan (Muslim, Yadav and Kurmi) happens to be just 7.

It should also be noted that the social base of the votes fetched by the NDA beyond their core support base happens to come from lower OBCs, EBCs, Dalits and Mahadalits wherein the saffron alliance has succeeded in getting more votes from non-Yadav-non-Kurmi subaltern castes, 9 per cent, than the Mahagathbandhan’s 7 per cent.

Hence, in terms of the expanse of the social base defined by the number of subaltern castes rather than plain numbers, the BJP alliance seems to have wider acceptability among lower castes than the Mahagathbandhan.

It was the numerical preponderance of the triad of Muslims, Yadavs and Kurmis, constituting 35 per cent of the total electorate, and their active and decisive consolidation behind Mahagathbandhan that ensured the resounding victory for the alliance in the first place. In other words, NDA lost the election despite having wider social base and Mahagathbandhan won the election with relatively narrower social base, primarily on account of the numerical weakness of multiple pro-BJP EBC and Mahadalit castes against the combined strength of Muslims and Yadavs.

NDA’s Failed Upper Cut

The most important factor accounting for NDA’s electoral debacle, which is missing from most of the analyses, happens to be the non-representativeness of the caste profile of its candidates in comparison to that of Mahagathbandhan. In a state that has a mere 15 per cent of upper caste population, BJP and its allies altogether fielded more than 40 per cent of upper caste candidates while their share in Mahagathbandhan was merely 16.

The fielding of disproportionately higher numbers of upper caste candidates in a caste sensitive state like Bihar proved detrimental for the saffron alliance and no rational explanation could justify this tactical blunder.

It seems BJP expected too much from subaltern allies like Paswan, Kushvaha and Manjhi and went by the assumption that their association would transfer their caste votes to the saffron camp. While the assumption was partially true, the top BJP strategists forgot the simple fact that the caste profile of individual candidates is as important a factor in fetching votes as the association of big caste leaders with various parties.

Thus, while BJP and its allies got a significant section of low caste votes due to alliance with Paswan, Manjhi and Kushvaha, it lost many potential low caste BJP voters due to the fielding of a disproportionately higher number of upper caste candidates against low caste candidates of Mahagathbandhan. The BJP ignored the electoral fact that the appeal of top caste leaders needs to be substantiated through the caste profile of individual candidates at constituency level.

It would be naïve to expect a top low caste political leader to ensure the transfer of a majority of his caste votes to upper caste candidates in constituencies where rival parties had fielded low caste candidates. This becomes all the more important when the rival party is led by a magnetic personality like Nitish Kumar whose appeal and governance record transcended all castes and communities in Bihar.

Secondly, the strategy of BJP hinged too much on the assumption that the negative image of Lalu Yadav would eclipse the positive image of Nitish Kumar leading to the shift of a majority of pro-Nitish low caste votes to the BJP due to their fear of revival of Lalu Yadav and Yadavisation.

Guided by this assumption, they went for all round attack on Lalu Yadav, invoking the imagery of the Jungle Raj to the extent that it became a cliché. The fence sitters and swinging voters like EBCs and Mahadalits who were oscillating between the twin dilemmas of ‘love for Nitish and fear of Lalu’ needed a thick representative profile in terms of social background of the candidates rather than majority of BJP candidates projected as upper caste saviours from Jungle Raj.

Thus, in the battle of perception, the BJP confused a section of anti-Lalu OBCs in general and EBCs in particular by failing to make its candidates’ profile representative of the caste diversity of Bihar.

On the other hand and at a symbolic level, one needs to take into account that Lalu Yadav’s RJD fielded just one Brahmin candidate and corroborated his strategy of projecting the election as a fight between ‘forward castes and backward castes.’

A proper contextualisation of Bihar results and a comparison of the same with 2014 Lok Sabha elections would categorically point out that despite having all the advantages, namely, presence of a magnetic leader like Nitish Kumar, the consolidated support of two most numerous castes/communities, Muslims and Yadavs, the alliance of all the three anti-BJP parties and finally, the relative disenchantment of the poor with Modi due to unfulfilled promises and soaring price rise, the Mahagathbandhan couldn’t prevent a 3 per cent plus decline in its vote percentage which is slightly higher that of the NDA.

Conversely, despite all the demographic and contextual disadvantages apart from committing the tactical blunder of fielding more than 40 per cent upper caste candidates, the BJP and its allies superseded Mahagathbandhan in expanding their support base among the non-Yadav-non-Kurmi low caste electorates in Bihar. The consolidated support of just two castes/communities, namely, Yadavs and Muslims, accounting for almost a third of the electorate could not be taken as representative of all the lower castes in a state where the total number of low castes happens to be more than two hundred.

A significant share of the 34.1 per cent vote share of BJP and its allies had come from these multiple low castes whose support got eclipsed by the triad of KMY (Kurmis, Muslims and Yadavs. Hence, analysed in terms of social support base, the Bihar’s electoral debacle must not be treated as rejection of the BJP and its politics in Bihar.

BJP Not Quite Rejected in Bihar -The New Indian Express

Caste-religion blend: Meet UP’s SC winners; Rajpat w/o Jalaluddin, Sunita w/o Hussain | The Indian Express

In a state where both caste and religion matter, a number of Dalit women married to Muslims won from seats reserved for scheduled-caste women in the recent panchayat elections in Uttar Pradesh, including one in communally sensitive Muzaffarnagar.

Bijnor district tops the list with three such couples. Here Sunita a.k.a. Sitara, married to Mohammad Hussain, won from Mohammadpur Devmal III ward. The two fell in love and got married in 2009. Hussain says their families have accepted their marriage. About Sitara’s win, he says, “She contested for the first time and won because people from all religions supported her.”
...

Another Dalit woman, Soni, emerged victorious from Najibabad-II ward in the district. She is married to Shahabuddin since 2007 and, according to him, she practises Hinduism. Shakuntala, the winner from Najibabad-I, is married to Latif.

In Muzaffarnagar district, Chhoti, who won from Purqazi-II ward, is married to Aamir Ali. “We were in love and got married in 2008,” says Ali, who has another wife.

Chhoti, who is politically active, is also president of the Purqazi assembly segment for the Samajwadi Party.

In Lakhimpur Kheri, Rajpat Choudhary, married to Jalaluddin, won from Bijua-V ward.
 
नई दिल्ली। नोबल पुरस्कार से सम्मानित समाजसेवी कैलाश सत्यार्थी ने कहा है कि देश में कुछ एनजीओ किसी न किसी एजेंडे पर काम कर रहे हैं। इन एनजीओ का इस्तेमाल भारत में धर्मांतरण कराने के लिए किया जाता है।

उन्होंने आरोप लगाया कि कुछ अंतर्राष्ट्रीय एजेंसियां अपना एजेंडा लागू करने के लिए एनजीओ को धन मुहैया कराती हैं। इन एजेंसियों के एजेंडे में धर्मांतरण कराना और नक्सली हिंसा को बढ़ावा देना शामिल है।

राष्ट्रीय स्वयं सेवक संघ के मुखपत्र पांचजन्य को दिए गए एक साक्षात्कार में सत्यार्थी ने कहा, "कई तरह के लोग हैं। कारपोरेट जगत और राजनीति में जो हैं उन्होंने भी अपना हित साधने के लिए एनजीओ शुरू किया है। वे धर्मांतरण कराने के लिए भी इनका इस्तेमाल कर रहे हैं। गरीबी के नाम पर एनजीओ पैसा बनाने की मशीन बनते जा रहे हैं। इन सभी के पास अपना एजेंडा है।"

उन्होंने दिल्ली पुलिस की जांच में हुए खुलासे का उदाहरण दिया। पता चला कि बाल कल्याण बोर्ड द्वारा वित्तीय सहायता प्राप्त कुछ संगठन पूरे देश में अपने संचालित बाल गृहों में गरीब बच्चों को धर्मांतरण का लालच देते हैं। उन्होंने कहा, "कोई भी पैसे या अन्य किसी लाभ का लालच देकर धर्मांतरण नहीं कराए। मैं ऐसे धर्मांतरण के खिलाफ हूं।"

ratulations. :tup: Good achievement. :enjoy: Even seasoned jihadis will not go to this extent of insulting the head of the Government of India.
Lol so im a jihadi now because i made fun of modi!! Please spare your bull shit about insulting head of the state, you guys insulted man mohan singh all day and night, most of which were deserved.
Please. You are no liberal. You are not a secular either. Don't hijack the liberal plank here. You are simply an Islamic apologist. Why are you trying to pose yourself as a liberal? You don't hold any of the liberal values dear. You don't have the basic decency of giving importance to other points of view. Your stance over the previous incidences are clear. People are not as ignorant as they were 20 years back. Now they see your views in the open and are capable enough to judge what is good for them and what is not. The time for Big Joes to dictate what's in their best interests is gone. You have not taken on Islamic terrorism, nor have you ever mentioned it without mentioning 'other' terrorism. Here as well, you have done the same. We don't expect you to do that either. Just stick to what you do best - be a self appointed apologist for radical Islam. :tup: And your personal faith does not interest me. Claim that sentimental victimhood from other members. :)

Please give your harangue to someone who cares for it. I dont need a certificate of liberalism from you of all people. I have been fighting islamist types since long before your type infested the forum! :)

Your whole identity in this forum is to claim sentimental victimhood from others, its funny of you to accuse that to other. :)

Now you abuse the PM himself. :tup: And your point is some C grade song someone released. :enjoy:

That someone is chief of censor board and the video has all the quality of going viral. Also its fine to make fun of your pm, civilised people do that often, recently people made fun of british pm because he supposedly fucked a pig!! Once again we made fun of MMS all the time.

But off course god ji is above all of this, I forgot. :lol:

Why are you getting so agitated? I only wrote down certain conclusions based on your inputs over a sustained period of time. I have followed your posts for some time. You have not followed mine. :)

Your evaluation of me is just a kick one makes while trying to shoo a mosquito. It has no power, no substance and no real intended target. It is an animalistic instinct, that's all. I, on the other hand have taken each post of yours and showed you how bigoted your posts were - showing them in bold. Not just the one before, but a few times back as well.

Please take my statements as positive evaluations and try to improve yourself. Either be a more open minded person or honestly accept yourself as an Islamic apologist. Both are fine, but pretending to be the former while being the latter will invite ire. In any case, if you did not care for my posts or any other (whom you proudly call bhakt, retard etc)you would simply ignore my posts. Like I ignore most of yours - worthless as most of them are. :(

I absolutely don't mind if you bash Modi. A rational person will bash someone for non performance. Your remarks are however typical of your kind - Har har Modi for example. By this you are able to target Hindu sensibilities and hit Modi at the same time. You engage in no constructive criticism. There is no hint of even a viable alternative in any of your posts. Just pure anti Hindu vitriol. Your last sentence is ample proof of what I mean. :)
