Anand Ranganathan’s 5-point formula for reservation reform. His argument: reservation should be time-bound and targeted, with the focus remaining on those who genuinely need affirmative action.

VIDEO | Briefing the media over Karnataka CM DK Shivakumar's remarks on Muslim reservation, Union Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju (Kiren Rijiju) says, "In 1946, the Constituent Assembly had rejected Muslim League's proposal to provide reservation to Muslims. Under the leadership of Sardar Patel, everyone had then said that reservation cannot be provided on the basis of religion. Therefore, in the Constitution framed by Dr BR Ambedkar, it is clearly stated that reservation cannot be provided on the basis of religion. However, a Congress leader who holds a constitutional position says that Muslims would be given reservation and the Constitution would be amended. This is very serious and the Congress should clarify couple of things - first, the Congress leader must be sacked from the party, otherwise Congress should accept that it is walking on the path of the Muslim League."

#WATCH | Mumbai, Maharashtra: Union Minister and RPI(A) Party President Ramdas Athawale says, "It is JP Nadda ji's view that there should be dialogue. We have also voiced our opposition because reservation is a constitutional right. Just as Babasaheb Ambedkar provided reservation for SCs and STs in the Constitution based on caste, and subsequently VP Singh decided to grant 27% reservation to OBCs by implementing the Mandal Commission recommendations, the Narendra Modi government has decided to provide 10% reservation to the Economically Weaker Sections (EWS). So, reservation exists for everyone; what is the point of opposing it? It is good that JP Nadda met them. He must have listened to what they had to say. However, my party's stance is that reservation for Dalits, Adivasis, and OBCs cannot be removed at all, nor can the EWS reservation be removed..."

The Ambedkarite Buddhist leader is saying that it is now high time to remove the reservation system. He is saying that reservation discriminates against human beings. Rather, the government should conduct a survey and implement it on an economic basis. No media will show you such interviews with complete clarity. The full video link is in the comment.

🚨 #WATCH and understand these facts by Anuradha Tiwari ji. 🚨 General Category in India basically means: Work as hard as you want, expect zero government support, even if you deserve it. Meanwhile, the current reservation system is failing the very people it was built to protect: 1️⃣ Generational Creep: Kids of IAS/IPS officers are still claiming reservation benefits meant for the underprivileged. 2️⃣ Monopolized Quotas: In UPSC 2024, ~55% of ST seats went to “Meena” community representing 0.3% of the population, leaving 700+ other registered tribes in the dark. 3️⃣ Punishing Merit: Instead of rewarding talent, we're actively discouraging it and denying seats to deserving candidates. The Fix? 📈 Scale up EWS (Economic) reservation over time. 📉 Phase down Caste-based reservation over time. Reservation should be a stepping stone, not a permanent privilege.

In this episode of Scrutiny, Anand Ranganathan says BJP has learnt from its past mistakes judging freebies as 'revdi' and has joined the bandwagon to lure voters.

For years, reservation has hollowed out the country. By propping up incompetence with crutches, unqualified individuals were inducted into the system, causing harm to the nation... We want reservations to be abolished first. Secondly, the SC/ST Act is wreaking havoc across the country. It is fueling caste-based violence in society, pitting people against one another, and creating a civil war-like situation. The SC/ST Act must be immediately repealed... Our third demand is that the government should scrap the unnecessary UGC law it has introduced..." (22.08)

No Difference Between Kejriwal, Rahul, Modi: Anand Ranganathan Unmasks Real Face Of Indian Politics In the latest episode of Scrutiny, Anand Ranganathan strips away the carefully crafted image of moral high ground in Indian politics. Using the defection of Raghav Chadha and six other AAP MPs to the BJP as the context, he makes one point clear: no one is above scrutiny. Arvind Kejriwal once built his brand on clean politics. Prime Minister Narendra Modi once mocked the ‘revdi’ culture. Today, those claims ring hollow. The veneer has cracked. What stands exposed, Ranganathan argues, is a ruthless, no-rules arena—where power trumps principle, and yesterday’s positions are easily discarded for today’s gains. #raghavchadha #aap #arvindkejriwal #bjp #narendramodi #rahulgandhi #delhi #punjab #rajyasabha #indianpolitics #ipl #anandranganathan #sundayscrutiny #timesofindia #toi Aditi Prasad

THIS SHOULD'VE BEEN DONE LONG AGO TO ALLOW BENEFITS OF RESERVATIONS TO THOSE WHO REALLY NEED IT! SC seeks response from Centre on ‘creamy layer’ in SC/ST quota. Plea argues that once a family member attains a Govt or Constitutional post, their children should not keep availing quota benefits. I can give 3 examples right here on how benefits of reservations are availed by those who are no-more oppressed or without access to resources to studies. Father → Kids 1. Jaswant Dabi (ITS officer, Group A central service) → Tina Dabi (IAS, 2015 batch) and Ria Dabi (IAS, 2020 batch)— Family availed ST reservation benefits. 2. Uttam Khobragade (IAS, 1984 batch) → Devyani Khobragade (IFS, 1999 batch) — Both availed SC reservation. 3. Sanwar Mal Verma (Promotee IAS, Rajasthan cadre) → Kanishak Kataria (IAS, 2018 batch) — Family from SC category; son topped on merit but eligible under SC framework. These are just 3 examples. There may be many. Now SC has asked Centre and States to reply to a petition seeking creamy layer application in SC/ST reservations. Question is: 'Are reservations being cornered by a few families across generations who have become affluent enough not to need those reservation benefits? Isn't it an injustice with those from humble background who really don't have free access to resources'. Good that finally this issue is being raised.

#WATCH | Delhi: On Rahul Gandhi's 'Chhatro Ki Goonj' program in Pune yesterday, Delhi State Haj Committee Chairperson Kausar Jahan says, "Rahul Gandhi speaks at length about women's rights and empowerment from the stage. However, when it actually comes to providing a 33% reservation for women in Parliament and state assemblies, the Congress party starts playing politics. By opposing the proposal regarding women's rights in April 2026, Rahul Gandhi has clearly demonstrated that his political self-interest matters more to him than women's empowerment. My point is that if Rahul Gandhi is genuinely concerned about women's rights and empowerment, he should convey this to the government clearly—especially when the issue of women's reservation is raised... Prime Minister Modi has already stated that the credit for this will be shared by all. If Mr. Rahul Gandhi were to convey his support, I believe the government would immediately call a special session to pass the bill, allowing it to be implemented by 2029..."

Anand Ranganathan schools Leftist Journo student on Varna, Ambedkar & Mahatma Gandhi's criticism In a heated exchange, a journalism student questioned Dr. Anand Ranganathan on his criticism of Mahatma Gandhi, accusing him of selectively highlighting Gandhi's flaws while ignoring Ambedkar's praises for Gandhi and not applying the same scrutiny to other leaders like Subhas Chandra Bose. Ranganathan first corrected the student on her misconception about the Varna system, pointing out that it is unrelated to untouchability, and insisted she admit her error, which she eventually did. He then firmly rejected the charge of selective criticism, stating his consistent approach: praising good actions and condemning bad ones without shades of grey. To illustrate, he provocatively asked if she would praise Hitler for his watercolor paintings or economic reforms qualities unrelated to his atrocities. Ranganathan maintained that he applies this objective standard to all leaders he discusses (including Gandhi, Nehru, and others), criticizes wrongs when aware of them, and cannot be expected to address every statement from every figure. He emphasized that he is not offended by differing views but stands by bringing out uncomfortable truths about Gandhi and Nehru. Credit : Clear Cut Talks.
