Young, Rooted, and Rising: The New OBC Resistance

Published – August 11, 2025

Power was never handed to us — it was kept from us. And now, a new generation of OBC youth is rising with one message: enough is enough. For too long, India’s political elite — across parties, across ideologies — have used OBC reservation as a tool of control, not empowerment. But the tide is turning. What we’re witnessing now is not just anger — it’s organized, ideological, and deeply political. This is the OBC Resistance, and it’s coming for the very heart of India’s unequal power structure.

The Silent Majority, Finally Speaking

India’s OBCs form more than half the population, yet their presence in positions of power is shockingly low. Whether in Parliament, the judiciary, academia, or the media, OBC voices are rare and often tokenized.

Why does a community that drives the country’s workforce remain invisible in decision-making spaces? Because OBC reservation alone doesn’t ensure participation in power. What we need now is a change in the whole system — and that’s exactly what the rising voice of OBC youth is demanding.

OBC Youth are not Your Vote Bank

The era of folded hands is over. OBC youth today are not here to beg politicians for crumbs. We see through the games — the temporary quota announcements, the stalled caste census, the silence on promotion reservation.

This generation questions everything, not just but vociferous:

  • Why hasn’t the Rohini Commission report on sub-categorization been implemented?
  • Why are central institutions slow to enforce OBC quotas?
  • Backward class votes are courted during elections but erased in governance. Why?
  • Why is Article …… getting extension by extension – when OBCs are left uncared?

Real OBC empowerment is a threat to caste-based power. That’s why more OBC youth are rising — not to join the broken system, but to change who controls it.

This Fight Is About Power — Not Just a Place at the Table

We’re not here to be seen. We’re here to be heard — and to lead. Getting a few seats or titles isn’t enough. Real change means having the power to decide, not just show up. Boards, campuses, courts, policies — we want in, fully. We’re not waiting to be included — we’re stepping in with purpose. We’re not asking for favours — we’re claiming what’s ours. This isn’t about chasing status. It’s about owning our future — and we’re not backing down – we will raise our voice till the whole all round social economic status rises.

Time to Raise, Not Just Survive

The OBC resistance is not just a moment — it’s a mindset. It is rising from lived exclusion and rooted in truth. This generation refuses to play a supporting role in someone else’s script. They are here to lead, not wait.

As India moves forward, it cannot ignore the force rising from its margins. OBC youth are not asking for handouts. They are reclaiming what was always theirs — dignity, voice, and a seat at every table of power.

OBC Youth: No More Margins, Only Mandates

If justice is delayed, resistance is inevitable. And this time, the resistance will be strongWe are not here for visibility alone — we are here for voice, for leadership, for justice.
From the margins to the mainstream, OBC youth are raising — and OBC RIGHTS is a catalyst.

Join with us. Speak. Build. Lead.
Ignored for decades — to get/ensure the Constitutional Guarantee we need to raise – and – raise our voice for equality – social justice..
