BENGALURU, INDIA – A leading voice in Karnataka has issued a stark warning, declaring that the state is entering an era of profound contradictions. While political equality exists, deep-seated social and economic inequalities, rooted in caste and capitalism, threaten the very foundation of democracy.
The statement, echoing concerns raised by B.R. Ambedkar, highlights the stark disparity between political representation and the continued dominance of caste systems (Brahminism) and capitalist structures. This combination, it argues, has morphed into a new form of neoliberal Hindutva, subtly undermining democracy from within while projecting a facade of grandeur.
The statement warns that unless these inequalities are addressed swiftly, the very people in whose name democracy is built will rise up and destroy it. It calls for urgent action to achieve true political, social, and economic democracy, urging citizens to reflect on Ambedkar’s warnings and take to the streets to demand change. The statement concludes with a call for immediate action and a renewed commitment to the principles of equality and justice.
