How did the story about a Royal Prince Ekalavya and political alliances of his father become a staple in the "caste atrocity" narrative. The same way that the story of "Bali" and Vamana was weaponized. Let me explain. Dharma is transmitted via stories. These stories are a pedagogical tool; not of commandments but of exercising the ability to wrestle with contradictory dharmas in every human life. Ekalavya's story poses one such question. Here is a boy showing skill and devotion. On the other hand there is an employee's loyalty to his employer who is paying him. What would someone choose?
The answer isn't the point. The question is the point. Developing the moral reasoning helps us wrestle with our own conflicting responsibilities. The fact that we are drawn to Ekalavya and Mahabali, sharpens our emotional investment in this question. Life poses exactly such difficult choices. The Left's narrative inverts it. It takes the act of learning out and weaponizes our emotional resonance into an oppression story. This is why Ekalavya's story is turned into a story about caste. The agenda is important, not truth or learning.

राहुल जी, आज भी यानी 2026 में भी भारतीय शिक्षा और सोशल साइंस के सिलेबस पर वामपंथी और पोस्ट मॉडर्निस्ट ही हावी हैं। दुनिया के सिर्फ दो देश उत्तर कोरिया और क्यूबा में कम्युनिस्ट मॉडल की अर्थव्यवस्था है। पर भारतीय यूनिवर्सिटीज के सिलेबस में सबसे ज्यादा जगह मार्क्सवाद ने घेर रखी है। अब तो यूनिवर्सिटीज में पोस्ट मॉडर्निज्म हावी है.
यही कारण है कि भारतीय यूनिवर्सिटीज के सिलेबस में डॉ. आंबेडकर और फुले को उनके पूरे बौद्धिक विस्तार में नहीं पढ़ाया है। बाबा साहब को अक्सर जाति और दलित तक सीमित कर दिया जाता है, जबकि वे अर्थशास्त्री, संवैधानिक विचारक, राष्ट्रवाद के चिंतक, कानूनविद और बौद्ध चिंतक भी थे। ज्यादातर यूनिवर्सिटीज में बाबा साहब की 1935 के बाद की कोई रचना नहीं पढ़ाई जाती। जबकि उसके बाद उन्होंने 21 साल और लेखन किया। फुले को भी केवल जाति-विरोधी सुधारक के रूप में पढ़ना उनके लेखन को छोटा करना है। स्टूडेंट्स को कहां पता कि महात्मा फुले का शिवाजी महाराज पर भी लेखन है।सवाल यह है कि छात्रों को किसी विचारक का पूरा बौद्धिक संसार पढ़ाया जाए, या उसका खास हिस्सा।

Rahul ji, even today—that is, in 2026—leftists and postmodernists still dominate the syllabi of Indian education and social sciences. Only two countries in the world, North Korea and Cuba, have economies based on the communist model. Yet in the syllabi of Indian universities, Marxism occupies the most space. Now, postmodernism has taken over in universities.
This is precisely why Dr. Ambedkar and Phule are not taught in Indian universities' syllabi in the full expanse of their intellectual contributions. Babasaheb is often confined to caste and Dalits, even though he was also an economist, constitutional thinker, nationalist intellectual, jurist, and Buddhist thinker. In most universities, none of Babasaheb's works after 1935 are taught. And yet, after that, he wrote for another 21 years. Teaching Phule only as an anti-caste reformer diminishes his writings. Where would students even know that Mahatma Phule also wrote about Shivaji Maharaj? The question is: Should students be taught the entire intellectual world of a thinker, or just a specific part of it?

Veer Savarkar opposed caste system. He led the first temple entry movement for Dalits even before Gandhi or Ambedkar. He actively advocated for intercaste marriage. Those targeting PM Modi by using Savarkar name should try to read, but they will not. Because Modi Derangement Syndrome is real.

The Saffron Idiots of Red-Green Alliance
The "Sanghified" Hindus—those steeped in the #PseudoHindutva ideology of the RSS-BJP ecosystem, often proudly waving the saffron flag while chanting "decolonisation"—have, ironically, swallowed hook, line, and sinker the very anti-colonial framework peddled by secularised, pro-Islamic left-liberals.
This is no minor lapse; it is a complete internalisation of the post-independence pro-Islamic leftist narrative that vilifies British rule as the supreme evil of Indian history, while airbrushing, whitewashing, or romanticising centuries of Islamic invasions, tyrannical sultanates, and Mughal exploitation as somehow "benign," "syncretic," or mere "passing phases" in the nation's story.
Consider the foundational myth they have absorbed lock, stock, and barrel: that India was a prosperous, unified economic and civilisational giant until the British arrived 200–300 years ago and "drained" its wealth, reducing it to poverty. This is straight out of the playbook of Maulana Abul Kalam Azad's education ministry, Marxist historians like Irfan Habib and Romila Thapar, and the #PseudoSecular establishment—designed precisely to transfer Hindu trauma from 1000+ years of genocidal, temple-destroying, jizya-imposing Muslim rule onto the British, making Hindus nostalgic for (or at least neutral toward) Islamic genocidal persecution while hating the British coloniser who ultimately displaced it.
The Battle of Plassey (1757) exemplifies this internalised contradiction. When the British defeated the tyrannical, bigoted Nawab Siraj-ud-Daulah in Bengal—ending a regime of severe Hindu persecution—many Hindus either welcomed the shift or offered no resistance. Why? Because they were exhausted from centuries of barbaric Islamic rule that had reduced them to penury, destroyed their temples, imposed humiliation, and shattered their economy in most regions (barring brief Hindu resurgence under Marathas or others). Yet today's #Sanghified HINO (Hindu In Name Only) voices, echoing leftist anti-colonialism, frame the British entry as an unmitigated disaster, ignoring that for persecuted Hindus it often represented a lesser evil compared to the resurgence of Muslim genocidal tyranny.
This leftist anti-colonial lens is so deeply internalised that it erases how Hindus often welcomed or tolerated British rule to escape worse Islamic tyranny—yet demands blanket condemnation of colonialism while soft-pedalling or denying the far longer, bloodier Islamic chapter. The result? A peculiar self-flagellation where "decolonisation" means demolishing Lutyens' architecture or renaming roads named of British figures but not after Islamic tyrants, but never confronting the deeper deracination caused by centuries of Islamic iconoclasm. Under Sangh Parivar rule, Temples are bulldozed for “Vikas” or "corridors," colonial buildings targeted for "reclamation," but Islamic structures receive lavish state-funded restoration—all under the guise of nationalism that suspiciously follows Red-Green Alliance calculus—appeasing the very forces they claim to oppose.
In essence, the #PseudoHindutva of the Sangh Parivar has not decolonised Hindu minds; it has only deepened their colonisation by cloaking the left-liberal's selective anti-colonial guilt in saffron rhetoric. Hindus are taught to hate the British fork that pricked them last, while forgetting or forgiving the Islamic dagger that stabbed them for a millennium. This is not Hindu resurgence—it is the triumph of leftist propaganda dressed in saffron robes, ensuring Hindus remain divided, guilt-ridden, and blind to their real historical oppressors. True decolonisation would begin by reclaiming unfiltered truth: Islamic rule vandalised Hindu civilisation and demography far more profoundly and permanently than British colonialism ever did. Until that realisation dawns, the Sanghified Hindu remains the perfect "useful idiot" of the secular-pro-Islamic Red-Green Alliance. #Lutyen @mattwridley

Groups campaigning for gender parity in jobs are only really measuring equality in high-status roles within the knowledge economy, argues "reactionary feminist" Mary Harrington. In this debate, she goes head-to-head with Minna Salami, Kathleen Stock, and Lucy Jones to ask whether feminism has actually delivered "freedom" for women, and what we even mean by freedom in the first place.
