Talk:Caste politics

message: The gist of the article is Forward caste people prospered via nation building and Lower caste people prospered due to corruption.
But the truth is 90% of corrupt money is with Forward caste people. See List of scandals in India   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4thaugust1932 (talk • contribs) 07:23, 4 September 2012 (UTC)

message: This is a good informative statistic to add, maybe in the initial section.
"Caste is a major factor in Indian elections. More than 60% of people still vote according to their caste," says Utkarsh Sinha of the Lucknow-based Centre for Contemporary Studies and Research.

message: The language used when describing DMK, shows a certain bias, which goes against wikipedia's policy on neutral point of view. It should definitely be rephrased to meet this standard.--Harish89 (talk) 19:36, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Hi Meg and Tianyi, I appreciate your work on this page. I must, however, point out that it looks more like an essay than an article :). For starters, section headings should be simple and to the point. Instead of saying "a Trajectory", simply make use of words like Overview or Background, or something like that. Next, insert some Images if you feel appropriate (and if you find suitable free images). I'll try to make some minor tweaks in the meanwhile. Good luck. Lynch7 18:17, 29 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Essay-like structure 

message: Hey guys,
I really like the article and the information you guys put in it. I fixed the grammatical errors and such. I like that everything I read was properly cited and I think you did a very good job addressing the issues that exit in the Indian Political System as far as Caste Politics is concerned. I like that you have the criticisms at the end but I think that you need to expand more on that sections and find some positive criticisms as well. Also I think you need to move the Mandal Commission,Voter Bank Politics,Before 1980s section before you start talking about corruption and electoral politics.You also need to discuss the post independence period before. I think you need to give more background information about caste politics in India before discussing the issues. Good luck!

message: Hi everyone,
Here are the edits that I made to the article after reading through the talk page
# Article restructuring: I saw that the overall structure of the article was a major issue described in the talk page, and I tried to address this by moving the "History" section to right after the Lead because it seems to make more sense to first talk about the history before going into other details. I also moved the "Political Corruption" section from the "History" section into the "Caste and political power" section since it seemed more like something that talks about how castes play a role in politics rather than how we got to where we are now in terms of the role of castes in politics. I recognize that there are still lots of other structure issues with the article, but I hope these changes that I made helped improve the situation.
# Rewriting the Lead: I saw from the GA review that the lead was inadequate in terms of describing the content covered in the article, so I rewrote the Lead to address this issue. I kept some of the text from the original Lead. I also wrote this lead while keeping the restructuring work that I did in mind.
# Adding images: The GA review also noted the lack of images in the article, and I tried to improve on this situation by adding two images: one of the caste system in India to the Lead and another of Mulayam Singh Yadev—the founder of the Samajwadi Party— to the "History" section. I also wanted to add an image for the "Political Corruption" section, but there seems to be a lot of un-cited material in that section. I didn't want to add an image catering to content that might be later removed.
I hope these changes helped improve the overall quality of this article. Please let me know if there is anything that I need to change about the edits that I made. Thank you! !777francis777! (talk) 01:31, 3 December 2023 (UTC)

message: Why is this article's neutrality being disputed? Jarble (talk) 20:45, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The article has changed a lot since 2016 when I added the tag. So the tag may not be perfectly relevant now but still there are places where the article does not seem neutral. For example:  This uncited paragraph is not neutral in language and looks like opinion. There is a clear need to rewrite entire article scholarly references.-Nizil (talk) 06:03, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
