Soros Media: Sprinting Past Sense

Karnataka has begun its Social and Educational Survey to identify backward classes, and, naturally, Bengaluru-based Soros Media has raised the alarm as if the state were invading Mars. Headlines scream BJP obstruction, caste conspiracies, and Modi’s imagined plot to centralise everything except your morning chai. One can almost hear the newsroom toasting its own “breaking news.”

Let’s get real. BJP’s objection is not hatred of backward classes. It is opposition to a survey that is legally murky, methodologically hasty, and administratively sloppy. Census-taking is a Union subject. States cannot simply decide to enumerate 1,500 castes and call it a “survey.” BJP’s stand is simple: follow the law, respect methodology, and protect citizen rights. Alarmist reports notwithstanding, this is governance, not obstruction.

Soros Media loves to trumpet the 105th Constitutional Amendment as Congress’s magic wand to do anything it pleases. Truth: it allows states to maintain backward class lists under Union oversight. BJP’s insistence that Karnataka follow the law is prudence, not political villainy. But nuance rarely drives clicks.

Then there’s Indra Sawhney, brandished like a sword by Soros Media. Sure, castes can be social classes and backwardness must be surveyed. But nowhere did the Supreme Court endorse Karnataka’s sprawling plan with voluntary participation clauses that risk making the survey meaningless. The High Court wisely protected citizens’ choice—a detail alarmist reports skip.

Privacy, too, is weaponised. Soros Media screams BJP opposes it. Irony alert: in Puttaswamy Aadhaar, BJP argued against unqualified privacy claims. Here, voluntary participation protects privacy while keeping data usable. But “nuance” doesn’t sell headlines, so panic sells better.

Casteist conspiracy? Laughable. BJP consistently champions programs uplifting backward classes. Objecting to a hasty survey is principled governance. Meanwhile, voluntary participation, legal compliance, and methodology remain far more important than optics—something alarmist reporting conveniently forgets.

Bihar shows the way: surveys succeed when conducted legally, scientifically, and methodically. Karnataka, in political haste, risks undermining its own goals. Supreme Court precedents are clear: data integrity is essential for social justice.

So, the next time Bengaluru-based Soros Media wails about BJP obstruction, remember: the loudest alarm often comes not from governance being blocked but from reporters running ahead of facts. BJP is simply holding the ladder steady while the circus performers trip over their own ambition.

Social justice is not a game of optics—it is a matter of law, logic, and common sense.
