Fact: Those of who they have access to demography and caste data, can propose schemes accordingly to attract electoral arithmetic and vote bank politics. The reason opposition is protesting for is to officate caste census as they seemingly have lots of blind spots. Now, BJP denies their move. Now, again lets look at the specific data that @neha_laldas shared. "Hard data shows BJP is the most rabid casteist party. -Number of BJP ruled states pushing for more than 50% quota in education and jobs: 5 -Number of Congress ruled states pushing for more than 50% quota in education and jobs: 0 BJP ruled states pushing for more than 50% quota are MP (73%), Mah (72%), Bihar (75%), Chattisgarh (68%), Rajasthan (64%)." What does this imply? Doesn't this say that BJP has unofficial data? This clearly says that the BJP operates with its own granular, unofficial datasets to engineer these reservation hikes. The root issue lies in deep-seated, caste-based politics. This creates a literal never ending perpetual loop in Indian governance. Both political fronts are desperately trying to rule through caste arithmetic while in reality, they are trapped in an endless loop that steadily destroys the nation's social fabric. Every election cycle forces them to cross the bridge into raw identity politics, ensuring that the hunters of social injustice ultimately become the keepers of the very divisions they claim to fight. It is a classic paradox where a party cannot win without using caste politics, but using caste politics prevents the society from ever moving past caste. The root cause of the paradox is the complete detachment of modern political statecraft from Shastra-Pramana. Exiting the paradox requires recognising that political parties cannot solve social division because their survival depends on it. If the individual trees in a forest are diseased, the forest as a whole cannot be healthy. Civilisational health is restored only when society grounds itself in Shastric truth, replaces electoral friction with organic harmony, and lives by daily moral and spiritual discipline. As long as social policy and quota boundaries are determined by arbitrary electoral strategy, policy decisions inevitably devolve into bargaining, numerical expansion, and PR deception. This requires re-anchoring governance and social duty in an objective, immutable compass that cannot be altered for temporary election math.

The Skanda Purana Kashi Khanda archive.org/details/skanda-p… contains specific verses describing Kashi as Anandavanam, its exemption from ordinary cosmic and worldly rules, and the supreme, untouchable purity of the self-manifested Swayambhu Vishwanath / Avimukteshvara Linga As the Viswanatha Lingam is of Swayambhu nature, there exist immunity to human impurity, the Kashi Khanda emphasises that the Linga is Jyothirlingam and the ultimate source of purification. Sparsham of the Swayambhu Linga purifies the devotee rather than rendering the Linga impure. काश्ते वरयतो ज्योतिस्तदनाश्रयेयमेश्वरः ॥अतो नामापरमत्रास्तु काशीति प्रथितं विभो ॥ ६७ ॥ Because the supreme, uncreated Light shines here eternally, this realm is celebrated as Kashi. दर्शनात्स्पर्शनाद्यस्य मनो निर्वृत्तिमाप्नुयात् ॥ By beholding and touching the Linga, the mind attains supreme peace and liberation. धन्यं तन्नेत्रनिर्माणं कुर्वन्त्युत्तंसतां करौ ॥अविमुक्तेशं सम्प्रेक्ष्य येन याभ्यामेविं स्पृशेत् ॥ ९५ ॥ Blessed are the eyes that behold and the hands that touch Avimukteshvara/Vishveshvara; touching the supreme Swayambhu Linga cleanses all sins and impurities. The Kashi Khanda describes Kashi as a realm detached from ordinary earthly geography, resting upon Lord Shiva’s Trishula (trident) and exempt from cosmic dissolution (Pralaya) or planetary defect. पञ्चकोशपरीमाणे स्वपादतलनिरमिते ॥ २६ ॥शुने प्रलयकालेपि न तत्क्षेत्रं कदाचन ॥विमुक्तं गिरिशाभ्यां यदविमुक्तं ततो विदुः ॥ २७ ॥ Measuring five krosas, crafted at my own feet, this realm is never abandoned by Shiva and Parvati even Pralaya; hence it is called Avimukta. क्षेत्रमेतत्त्रिशूलाग्रे शूलिनस्तिष्ठति द्विज ॥अन्तरिक्षे न भूमिसंग्रहणं न च सम्प्लवः ॥ ८५ ॥न ग्रहास्तोदयकृतो दोषो विश्वेश्वराग्रतः ॥ ८६ ॥ This sacred realm rests on the tip of Shiva's trident, positioned in the sky/space, untouched by the ordinary earth, cosmic floods, or dissolution. In the presence of Lord Vishveshvara, there is no defect caused by the risings or settings of planets.
