Political and social theorist Ashis Nandy stoked an unnecessary controversy. Caste and religion are
Independent variables in sociological research. But in social life, the use of these variables Depend
on highly sensitive issues. Prof Nandy, speaking at the Jaipur Literary Festival, said that people
belonging to Backward Classes, Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes are the most corrupt.A
deadly statement on India's Republic Day: politically prejudiced and sociologically incorrect leading
to a Tsunami of protests. CM Ashok Gehlot described that such a statement could only be made by a
person" only after losing mental balance". Justice MN Rao, Chairman of the National Commission for Backward Classes, condemned Nandy's casteist remarks and said: Irresponsible statements of this nature may result in social convulsions endangering peace and tranquility in society.
Legally Nandy appears to have violated the SC and ST ( Prevention of Atrocities ) Act. FIRs are filed against him. Demand for his arrest from political and social activists and leaders has been on the
increase.As a Sociologist Prof Nandy is expected to be unbiased and non-judgmental.
