Sumeet Mhaskar, a labour sociologist and professor at OP Jindal Global University, has been studying anti-caste movements, non-Brahmin and OBC politics, and how these communities respond to the question of Hindutva and their economic hardship.
In the latest episode of What’s Your Ism, he spoke to Sudipto Mondal about Shiv Sena’s shift from “anti-Dalit” rhetoric to Bahujan politics, its complex history of Ambedkarite alliance and Uddhav Thackeray’s influence.
“In the last seven years, Shiv Sena has inducted people who actually have anti-caste past,” he says, adding that Sushma Andhare, an Ambedkarite who belongs to an OBC community, is the party’s deputy leader.
The party is also trying to revive the anti-caste legacy of Uddhav’s grandfather, Prabhodan Thackeray.
