What Marathas Of Maharashtra Can Learn From The Patidars Of Gujarat
Dear Reader,
We've seen two communities making OBC quota demands in recent years.
The Marathas have been agitating over the issue and the protests don't seem to be ending soon. There appears to be organic ground level support for this demand.
The Patidars, on the other hand, were also 'seen' agitating for OBC quota but this demand has quietly gone out of the news without any major protests.
Why? My young colleague Krishna Dange has a fascinating comparative note on this Patidar - Maratha contrast. The story involves the cotton, dairy industry, AMUL and decades of high risk entrepreneurship.
Read it here - fine material for a Sunday evening contemplation.
