The objective ofthe Marxist praxis is to eliminate class hierarchies and the obstacles to human freedom. A.
system of exclusion and deprivation, as the one that we live in today, blocks human freedom and full emanripation.
of human capabilities. It does so not only by keep1ng the majority from resources and husy in earning only.
sustenance but most emphatically through hegemon ising the minds of people and making them accept the order as.
a just one. Class consciousness among the working class challenges class hierarchies through breaking the.
hegemony of system's logic) system's rule of the game. Knowledge is considered as enabling (in the context of.
Yarious sectional, local, and issue based campaigns) the development of class-consciousness i.e. the awareness of.
capitalist social relations and consequently the realization ofthe need to transform capitalism int.o socialism..
Marx differentiates between class membership and class consciousness. Social distinctions first take the.
form of ·classes' in capitalist society, because only in this case is membership of social groups determined solely.
by the ownership ofthe means ofproduction. In India the order ofcastes. historically, has been superimposed upon.
differences in the ownership of means of production. The system of property relations remains hidden behind thestructure of castes which harmonizes fairly v~.
:ell with the system of property relations only so long as landremained the most important means of production. But caste consciousness is fundamentally distinct from class.
conscipusness. Membership ofa caste is as a rule hereditary, and it is clearly apparent from the ascribed rights andprivileges or exclusion there from. Class membership, however. depends upon becoming aware ofone's positionwithin the production process. Hence it often remains concealed behind the caste system..
The emergence of class consciousness in the bourgeoisie and the proletariat is a consequence of the.
increasingly political struggle of the oppressed \\ ith the ruling classes of the previous system. Marx, however.recognizes the difficulties in the development of class consciousness posed by the existing norms and organization.
of the society wherein the oppressed classes by using their \'Oting rights to subjugate themselves to ruling elite.
instead of establishing themselves in a revolutionary way as the dominant class. The political mobilization alongthe caste lines in India can be seen in a similar \\·ay. .
The formation of class, as Marx has emphasized. is a typical phenomenon of capitalism. Therefore theprocess of formation ofclass must change with the changing nature ofcapitalism. Knowledge. in tOday·s politicaleconomy. has become as significant as labour po,,er in Marx·s analysis of capitalist society. Like labour pO\\·erknowledge too has a dual nature of being a commodity as well as a means of producing other commodities. In this.
-.
context the demand for reservation in institutes of higher education must be seen as a mobilization to become amember of the new working class. Today, those \\ ho are excluded from the higher education are ..unskilled" andthus not the part of'ne"" labour force' .
. The demand for reservation is a reflection ofthe understanding that they arepoor and excluded because they don't have access to education. Once they become the part of 'ne\\ labor force·they \\0uld realize that their misery is intrinsic to the political economy of capital. Only thr.n. tney would becomeaware of their class, which is hidden behind caste today. Therefore it is a historical moment for those im·oh·ed inclass politics. in whate\·er form, to support and associate themselves with not only this mobilization of differentcaste groups but any political mobilization based on various social fom1ations fighting for their rights and dignity.Also, they must engage in a dialogue with them to have them realize that the misery is intrinsic to the capitalism and nobody can escape from it unless there is a situation where there is no exclusior1, no oppression. Thereforewhat is needed today is solidarity with and among all those groups fighting for their rights and dignity be it dalit.
