Mayawati and the Constitution

In a recent post, Vikram reflected on Mayawati and the BJP’s comments and studies the relationship between Dr. Ambedkar and the Congress. In this engaging article, in yesterday’s Indian Express, Vinay Sitapati discusses a Mayawati rally and examines her views on the Constitution. In addition, he argues that ‘No other group has leveraged the Constitution the way Dalits have’ and that ‘the Constitution’s ability to accommodate the intensity of Behenji’s ambition, and variance of interpretation, says something for its elasticity’.
