Anti-Dalit remarks: Jaipur Police summon Ashis Nandy

JAIPUR: Jaipur Police today summoned sociologist Ashis Nandy for his alleged castetist remarks at the Jaipur literature festival last week.

Nandy had said that the people belonging to OBC (Other Backward Class), Scheduled Caste (SC) and ST (Scheduled Tribe) are more corrupt during a discussion at the JLF on January 26.

An FIR was lodged against Nandy and Roy last Saturday by Rajpal Meena, chairperson of the SC/ST Rajasthan Manch.

Nandy had clarified that what he meant was that the most of the people getting caught in corruption charges belongs to marginalized sections, as they don't have the means to save themselves unlike people from upper castes.
