What would be the solution for communal and caste politics in Indian context?The question is more specific to the political space and I think it is a far more achievable goal than eradicating it from the society as pointed out by Sandip.Let me share the source of my confidence.Corruption seemed like a deeply embedded cancer in our system and we had come to accept that it will never go away, yet the anti corruption wave that started with IAC under Anna Hazare forced the younger voters in to the political opinion making process and by 2014… it had solidified in to a clear direction.Citizens expressed their disgust very emphatically and not just voted the fountain of corruption ‘Congress’ out but made it amply clear that it is an important policy commitment they expect from the political class.It was not just an anti-incumbency vote against the congress & corruption it also had another important narrative undercurrent… in 2014 citizens also voted for Mr. Modi… giving him unanimous endorsement to lead the nation, which was a positive vote!Result?There is an extra focus under his PMship to keep an arms distance from dodgy deals, removal of as many discretionary powers from officers and institutions as possible. Mr. Modi’s govt. moved sale of national resources to online auction rather than keep it clandestine or behind closed doors.Today, 7 years later, comfortably in to his 2nd term, we are yet to hear of a concrete accusation of corruption against him or his govt. that too from an opposition who never fail to express their hatred for the man.We are certainly a lot more transparent today than we were 7 years ago!! All because the country expressed itself in very clear unambiguous terms and used both negative and positive voting to express its disgust with corruption!Why is that nuance important?I believe the crumbling defeats of Mayawati & Mulayam in UP was UP voters breaking free from their habit of voting on caste lines because they learnt that corruption was a cancer that spares no one and emerges out of multiple power centers… so they ignored caste affiliations and carried the 2014 national narrative forward, strengthening Mr. Modi!This is the beginning of a change at the grass root level. But for it to continue, citizens have to cast both negative & positive votes… ‘For & Against, ‘For’ one issue ‘Against’ all others. The next UP assembly elections will tell us if “the development of all, appeasement of none” policy of the BJP has helped blur caste lines and caste based voting patterns.Because the caste based reservation policy survived and thrived beyond its natural life due to the complete politicization of that assertive action, if voters see more benefits emerging out of good governance, than they did due to the reservations… then even the most vulnerable caste segments will become open to discussing ways and means to end the system that keeps them in the caste confines more than bringing them out of it.You see to enjoy the perks of the caste based reservation you also have to keep the caste lines alive and sensitive… This was not the intended intent of that policy initiatives. No one suffers more because of the caste system than the most marginalized caste segments… they would rather see this system be buried than keep it alive and sensitive.Gujarat voted against the BJP in the last assembly elections but not in favor or the Congress, which tried to exploit the Patel agitation for reservations… But the voters did not endorse it.If it was an anti Modi vote, vote based on caste alignment, Mr. Modi & BJP would have lost Gujarat very badly but that is not what the voters of Gujarat wanted, they just wanted to warn the BJP without endorsing caste based politics!! The Patel agitation died a natural death post elections.I know these examples aren’t enough to suggest caste based politics can be buried under developmental politics but certainly caste is no more the center piece of Indian political narrative any more… is it?Eradicating caste based politics from India would be easier said than done.But I believe with such a massive young population… which votes without historical baggage, and which has seen the reservation experiment fail… the millennials are best positioned to reject the caste based politics.They can ask “what has reservation really achieved?”They are more willing to embrace merit based approach because they can see the upside!Before you assume that I am anti-reservation, let me clarify I am not… reservation as an affirmative action still has a place in Indian society because the truly marginalized need to be given more targeted opportunities so they can be absorbed in to the mainstream.But he caste based reservation policy needs to be pulled on to a more robust, incorruptible, game-proof framework for it to pay any dividends.It has to be more targeted, like subsidies, which have been moved out of the leaking pot in to a well designed Direct Benefit Transfer system.Reservation policy must achieve set goals and milestones, its monitoring mechanisms has to be stringent and ruthless with those gaming the system… so the truly marginalized can gain from reservation policies.If Indians can achieve Open Defecation Free districts & states, I’m confident we will soon embark on Zero Reservation districts and states, with grass root support, all it will need is an organic national narrative towards that desire.Now coming to the politics of communal-ism…I believe it is running on its last full gasp of lungs because not in a very distant future it seems like it will not be politically beneficial for parties to indulge in it and it will die its natural death… the reason I say it with such confidence is because the minorities have begun to question the benefits of being mollycoddled by state powers & self glorifying political as well as religious leadership.Because when they look around, they do realize that nothing has really changed on the ground… they are even more ghettoized, with lowest literacy rates, highest poverty figures, almost negligible presence in organized sectors as far as jobs are concerned and with abysmal health & social indicators and their most visible leaders seem to be stuck in the Bharat Mata ki Jai, Vande Mataram & beef biryani kind of politics, when the need of the hour is to focus on real issues like modernizing the Muslim personal law board, their traditional education system, demanding and getting better health care infrastructure for what they believe is their core constituency and preparing the youth for taking on the world academically and in the corporate world but in the absence of that what is most likely to happen is what happened with the Teen Talaaq issue. where the political & religious leadership along with their secular backers ended up looking totally disconnected and self involved.It is not in a vacuum that women from the Muslim community took over the reins for gender equality issue, be it entry to the place of worship or the Teen Talaaq Issue and with their resilience and commitment eventually won both the battles… despite the most vociferous opposition led by “so called” Minority political representatives and the secularists.Both these issues would have been a cake walk for the Muslim women if the political leadership and their secular backers had their ear to the ground but they didn’t…Now the pseudo secularists are talking about addressing the Teen Talaaq issue within the marriage contract… such late calls expose the hollowness of their commitment and it is because of this that I exude confidence that communal-ism is running its last mile in Indian politics.And here is what underscores my point further… Just like the 2 issues I have mentioned… those practicing communal politics are at it again in West Bengal for the battle this Summer and from the looks of it… it is a head on communal fight, the results of these elections will go a long way in setting the template for 2024. If the voters in West Bengal back the appeasement politics of the TMC, it will repeat itself across the country come 2024 but if the TMC loses a sizeable percentage in these elections it will be clear that the country is getting ready for politics without communal leanings.The fresh coat of majority-minority paint that is being given to the communal politics, will not survive or take roots either because the majority faith followers in India expressed themselves after the Supreme court verdict in the Babri Masjid case by not celebrating or making a big deal out of it.A nearly century old simmering issue was dealt in the most mature fashion and I am grateful to the citizens of India for that display. The congress and the Pseudo secularists had convinced the country that if it ever happened the streets will be flowing with blood, but no0thing of that sort happened.Sensible people from both communities could nakedly see who was keeping the communal fires burning… it is this set that I believe will start asserting itself in the coming years and help India bury this festering fault-line for good.I believe when Power slips out of one’s hand… on its way… it snatches away all the masks, revealing & exposing sheer ugliness… which is why it is always better to hand it over or pass it on to the next generation with dignity & grace before it slips away.The minority leadership & their secular cheer leaders has that chance today but it wont be on the table for too long… once the younger slightly better integrated generation takes charge they will simply refuse to ignore the tragedies of silent collusion.This is why I believe that Caste & Communal-ism both are on their way out.Caveat: I am at heart a diehard optimist!

If so, you can re-sell them on eBay.With eBay, there are two ways you can sell things. You can pick a specific price that you want to get for the item. Or you can put it up for sale as an auction item. With the “auction” option, you choose how long you want the auction to last. And you choose what the starting bid price is.It’s more appealing to potential buyers if you start out offering an auction item at a lower price. But if not many people bid on the item, you can end up selling it for a lower price than you want. Keep that in mind before choosing the “auction” option.Don’t Forget Shipping CostsYou’ll need to choose a shipping price as well. Do this before you place an item for sale on eBay. The eBay website will help you by estimating how much they think it will cost to ship an item. You can set your own shipping price.Or you can offer for the item to be shipped for free. It will say “Free Shipping” on the listing. You can pay for shipping yourself. If you do that, you may want to increase the price of the item to include the shipping cost.If one of your items sells, the buyer pays you via PayPal. You ship the item to the customer. eBay does charge a listing fee for your item. It can be up to ten percent of the selling price. For this reason, it’s important to remember to consider that fee when deciding on a listing price.11. TutoringAre you good at specific school subjects? Do you enjoy helping others learn?
