I was reporting in Bidar when police, in uniform, turned up at the school five times to question young students.

This is the small room in Shaheen School in Bidar where students were taken to for questioning for the fourth (yes, fourth) time by police in plainclothes. I was in the school when police asked students where they practiced, who taught them dialogues, why was a flag used. (1/n)

Some people sent me a piece which argues Dalit Muslims and Christians don't have a claim on SC status bcz Constituent Assembly debates didn't discuss it (Arvind Kumar). Such is the dearth of scholarship on DMs and DCs that a few facts can be moulded based on ideological positions
