Question

Read the following passage and answer the question based on it. (Any four) (4) For two days, Mumbai was held to ransom by Dalit protestors. Other parts of the state of Maharashtra, including Pune were affected too, with law enforcement officials and administrators completely underestimating the number of Dalits who would participate in the protests. It’s to the credit of the police that they avoided the use of force to prevent an already volatile situation from flaring up. But what explains the magnitude and intensity of the protests? The immediate provocation was the attack on the people who participated in the January 1 function at Bhima- Koregaon in Pune district to mark 200 years of a battle between the British Army’s Mahar regiment and the Peshwa’s army. The function was seen as an assertion of Dalit identity by some groups and the attack on it as a challenge to the same. The Pune incident evoked a strong reaction from the community, although it turned out later that the one person killed during it was actually from the Maratha community. In some way, the reaction of the Dalit groups should be seen as a reaction to the agitation staged by the politically and socially powerful Maratha community last year, demanding reservation in government jobs and education, and the scraping of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (prevention of Atrocities) Act. That protest did not go down well with the Dalits since the act works as a deterrent against atrocities by locally dominant castes, especially the Marathas, in several parts of the state.There is yet another angle to the protests: established Dalit leaders in Maharashtra are also insecure about their hold on the community. They aren’t too keen on Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani, a Dalit leader, getting a toehold in Maharashtra. Mevani may become popular among the young Dalits in Maharashtra, many of whom are not happy with their current leaders. i. Which caste dominated Maharashtra ? 1 ii.
