What is the likelihood that the consortium (headquartered in Bangalore) will agree to conduct CLAT in Hindi, especially in light of the language issues currently going on in Karnataka?
Then the consortium will just break apart and the NLUs will revert to conducting their own entrance just like NLUD does. The central government has got no power over the individual NLUs because they are not nationalised.
The debate here is not about who conducts the exam, but about it being in other languages as well. The decision is NOT with the consortium. Now it is with the consortium to give a reason as to why the exam CANNOT be conducted in other regional languages in addition to English. This year (i.e. CLAT 2024) the timing was tight hence the consortium got away, but from next year onwards, there are no such excuses. The consortium will have to conduct the exam in multiple languages, because if it does not do so then it will be taken away from the consortium and assigned to NTA.
“ The NTA has also stated that it is willing to conduct CLAT in regional languages as early as 2024. However, the final decision will rest with the Consortium…”
It’s not gonna happen lol and for good reason.
It opens up a huge can of worms where if you conduct it in a certain few regional languages, people will demand for it to be conducted in ten other languages and say they are at a disadvantage.
Why have states at all? Funding is with the center, while the delivery of services and schemes is with district administrations. There is no need for states in the middle - state administrations are a nuisance adding no value anyway.
Most of atrocities are done by OBC repeating again. Check stats and facts. Stop blaming UC when middle caste cant stay be non violent even for a second.
Various data points it out and even various dalit scholar says too. Thats why we must collect even caste wise atrocities perpetrators data collection. Almost 85 percent are done by OBC. Middle caste always deny their culpability afterall who likes to take accountability.
You know there was some months ago i read a young rajput soldier died. My heart broke for that poor upper caste young rajput blood. He should have taken alternate career path, why did he sacrifice his life when he is oppressor at the end ?
Thats why i am firm supporter of Population proportionate quota in armed forces, 85 percent in armed forces must be reserved. So less young UC blood is shed. There must be concession given to reseved categories in physical criteria and north south and eastern representation ought to be maintained too afterall northie shouldn't have it all .
Recently UP Police recruitment came out, there were relaxation in even chest size 😅😅😅. I dont know what to say lol. But yes less UC blood need to be shed.
Then let the state be divided. We are still part of the same country. People have the right of self-determination without compromising national security.
And yes, there are no reservations in the armed forces (Army, Navy, and Air and Space Force) for a reason. I would love to see our "discriminated" and "aggrieved" communities give up their lives defending the country.
Most of caste based atrocities on SC are done by OBC. Why count oppressors caste ?? Do they wanna intimidate SC ki your oppressors caste are 60 percent??
Dont sugarcoat, there is only one objective to caste census and everybody knows it. Why hind behind any excuse? Khul ke bolo 60 percent desh hamara hai hume hissa chaiye.
Good we must distribute everything on caste basis from college seats,train seats, factory, lawyers, cricket team. Make reservation 100 percent on population basis. Which shall include regional representation too, to avoid north south clashes. Categorize OBC too and include sub quota into them.
UC will then realize that it needs it separate own pan identity and the caste tribalism that upper caste is loosing will come back again. Others never left their caste tribalism while we are loosing it. We just need right direction to get it back, and that direction is caste census and 100 percent reservation. It already is 60, so just need one push. Will be very interesting to see what it unfolds, it may bring some upper caste genocide here and there but it will be interesting sight to watch. We must foget western notion of individualism on which mordern countries are found. And embrace Indian state adopted notion of seeing us through group on individualistic level too.
Your tribe should be your first and foremost identity. It is for others but UC was lacking it, looks like we will be back. But seriously for an OBC his being OBC must matter and he must hate other especially which they do and same is applicable to others. Caste tribalism is needed to fight caste tribalism, you cant fight it out through other means. Imo but my point is only concerning my biradari UC and not others. One always is concerned for their people's well being and existence.
We consist of various ethnic groups like Africa, it doesnt hurt to be like them.
I hope freedom of speech is allowed on this platform.
There won't be any need for that if the concerned government remembers that they represent those regions too and hence involve them in decision making and development.
Absolutely. Most talk of autonomy (including linguistic autonomy) when it comes to center-state relationships, but forget the fact that the same mindset can exist within the states themselves. E.g. Marathwada region in Maharashtra, North Karnataka, Bodo region in Assam, or Hill region in WB. They too can use the same argument and start divisive actions. After all, there is no end to divisiveness.
This country is regressing with myopic considerations such as language/regional, caste (yes, that also includes giving reservations to castes that are not underprivileged but numerically/politically significant; Dr. Ambedkar didn't include them for a reason)
Though it is not something new, the Hindi push by present government has just aggravated it. Earlier they didn't use to vandalise shops and establishments, but now to protect their culture and language, the indigenous people see threat in every foreign element that they around them.
The present Modi government is adding fuel to this by unnecessarily imposing Hindi, see those 3 criminal bills, the names are in Hindi even though the whole bill is in English. This unnecessary imposition of a language is the root problem.
The only solution to this is following a two language model in states and one language in Centre, with English being the mandatory language across the country.
Absolutely. Regionalism and casteism is the enemy of merit, progress and national unity. It’s disgusting that the so-called left is weaponising this in their desperation to overthrow Modi.
Coming to NLUs, it’s important for all NLU student bodies and alumni to unite and challenge domicile reservation in the SC.
Those who have got problems with Kannada signboard find Hindi boards, plaques etc in all public places quite normal. That's the attitude that has triggered such problems. Either have one official language for everything that's not the mother tongue of any part of the population so that nobody gets any undue advantage, like English. Or else have regional languages for every region together with English. Nobody outside the Hindi speaking states should have to converse/communicate in Hindi.
As for the caste census, it's happening in the states because the central government has refused to conduct census in the decade that it has been in power for. Every day there are still hundreds of instances of caste based atrocities in all parts of the country, so it's not as if caste issues have become irrelevant.
The day is not far away when state NLUs will be asked by the respective state governments to teach the local language initially as a subject, and then as the medium of instruction. Once CLAT becomes multi-lingual from 2025 onwards, there is no stopping.

The only reason it did not happen this year was the lack of adequate time. For Dec 2024 (CLAT 2025) it is a given. Now I am LOLing.

Divide and rule.
Are you really a lawyer/ law student?

They keep insisting on curriculum in Hindi even for courses like engineering and Mbbs.
When people feel their language and culture is being threatened, they tend to overcompensate.
Cure the problem not the symptom.
It destroys elitist culture in the profession.
