Bharat Bandh on August 21: Dalit and Adivasi organisations have called for a ‘Bharat Bandh’, a peaceful strike, to stress their demand for wider representation of marginalised communities in jobs and education and also to ensure the protection of their constitutional rights. The bandh comes on the backdrop of the recent Supreme Court verdict on the sub-categorisation of quotas for Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs) groups, and the controversy over lateral entry for central civil services.
