I’m not surprised. This is a global phenomenon: the race towards claiming victimhood . It’s more individual in nature in the West. In our societies it’s more a group things.

 

How else can you explain Marathas, the erstwhile rulers of this state claiming to be disadvantaged and demanding a huge share of State level reservations?

Same phenomenon, at a different scale. same is the case with the land owning Jaats in Haryana.

 

Claiming to be a victim has become a life skill. Sure shot way to catapult you into fame and get compensation in the process.

Muslim victim card works perfectly well even against woke people. Recently, some Muslim majority town in US banned pride parade or indoctrination of kids in schools to the Trans community on grounds that it hurts their religious sentiments and the usually vocal liberal activists went awol and supported the Muslim community.

They have been sucked into a vicious cycle of alcoholism and drugs. Difficult to see them break out of it. Few if any positive role models for their younger generation to aspire to emulate.

What about women reservation? Many urban women are much more resourceful than rural men yet when it comes to women reservation most women supportit  women like Nita Ambani will have reserved seat because they are considered to be oppressed

If some are not educated, they are at a disadvantage. 

I would hardly call that victimhood.
