The proponents of the social justice bandwagon argue that only a revisit to Mandalisation can stop the juggernaut of Kamandalisation (read Hindutva) from taking over the entire cow belt. The air is pregnant with possibilities of a grand alliance between the RID, JD(U) and the Congress to take on the BJP’s might in the bypolls as well as the 2015 Assembly polls. But before this alliance becomes a reality, there are several issues worth pondering over. Is Mandal relevant today? Can it once again fire the imagination of the masses as it did in the early 1990s and lead to sweeping changes in the polity of the Hindi heartland?
