The OBC Uprising Vol. 2: Formula for the Future is the forthcoming second volume in The OBC Uprising series, written by P. Narahari and Prathviraj Singh and published by Mahagatha.
While the first volume documented the growing political and social consciousness among India’s Other Backward Classes, this volume moves the discussion from diagnosis to practical solutions. It examines the widening gap between demographic strength and representation, the constitutional limitations surrounding reservation, the demand for a caste census, and the need for evidence-based reforms.
The book explores the 50 percent reservation ceiling, OBC sub-categorisation, the creamy layer framework, representation in Parliament and State Assemblies, public employment, higher education, and the implications of EWS reservation. Its central argument supports an expansion-based model of social justice that seeks to increase representation and opportunity without displacing the rights of other communities.
One of the book’s major proposals is a framework for dual-member constituencies, designed to strengthen OBC representation in legislatures while preserving existing seats and democratic balance. The authors also advocate expanded government employment, proportionate reservation based on reliable demographic data, and stronger safeguards to ensure that benefits reach the most disadvantaged communities within the OBC category.
Grounded in constitutional analysis, policy research, field engagement, and contemporary political developments, The OBC Uprising Vol. 2: Formula for the Future presents the OBC movement as a democratic demand for substantive equality rather than a contest for privilege.
Looking towards India in 2047, the book offers a roadmap for proportionate representation, wider opportunity, social harmony, and a more inclusive democracy.
