@Soman: ~~Save for the pending QPQ,~~ the article meets all the criteria, hook is interesting (caste should be linked), and further the article is exceptionally well-researched and well-written. Al Ameer (talk) 17:10, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing passage

"The party demanded that inter-caste marriage be recognized as a qualification for recruitment to the public sector and that twice yearly inter-caste dining be made into a mandatory criteria for government jobs."

What the heck does that mean? Does it mean that if you wanted a government job you had to prove that you ate with someone from another caste twice a year and also married someone from another caste? I can't make any sense of this sentence. Nosferattus (talk) 00:35, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
