Sumeet Mhasker, a labour sociologist and professor at OP Jindal Global University, has been analysing non-Brahmin and OBC politics over the last century and how these communities respond to the question of Hindutva and their economic hardship.
In the latest episode of What’s Your Ism, hosted by Sudipto Mondal, he discusses all the misconceptions around Ambedkarism.
“Scholars have been in some ways very ignorant about the Ambedkarite movement. So much of the scholarship till the 1970s or 80 or even till 90s is based on the assumption that maybe yes, Ambedkar and Dalits, and therefore it only has to do with caste. But if you look at the historical perspective of any of the movements related to anti-caste politics, they have actively engaged with the question of what we understand as ‘class’. For example, the question of farmers,” says Mhasker.
He also speaks on Hindutva, caste, and reservations.

I am agnostic Christian by faith but I am am Ambedkarite, Article 15 means a lot to me.
Ambedkar fans sometimes remind me off goku fans "we have not watched our own show/book'
North India should follow Tamil Nadu .. Due to Periyar, Tamil Nadu successful and the politics puts importance of anti-caste, reservation,social justice, inclusivity and respect towards minorities. Northies should start asking the question why from politicians to top judges, officials 90% are from the brahmins and upper caste? Is the north really follows the reservation? Does the north people read what ambedkar said? How come only 3-4% brahmins in the north dominating the 90% of people? Does the people still believe that British brought caste system ? Isn't brahmins the one who created the Varna system? Why people fall for sanatan dharma which clearly upholds the Varna system? When will people realise that RSS and Brahmins have hidden agenda to continue this Varna system?
From where did you get this stat that 90% top posts are occupied by brahmins? Whatsapp university?
Dr.B.R.Ambetkar Ka let kha hua Samvidhanism
Dr B R ambedkar lives in our heart. But unfortunately, bahujan parties like BSP is destroying the ideology with the help of BJP
After 70 years of Ambedkarite movement,what has been the result? Ambedkar was defeated by Congress in elections and Ambedkarite movement too has been defeated by Congress.The lower castes and classes have been used as a vote bank and no work has been done for upliftment of the same except giving freebies here and there or increasing reservations.Ambedkarite movement leadership should think about this and should take steps so that they not remain rhe same as tgey were in the past .
