A year after the Mumbai protest, 58 lakh Kunbi records were found; but not one certificate issued to eligible Marathas. Why? Because bureaucracy doesn’t care about urgency. Jarange’s rage isn’t about caste; it’s about broken promises. The state says ‘genealogy verification’ is needed. He says, ‘We’ve done the paperwork; now deliver.’ This isn’t just a fast. It’s a wake-up call to every Indian who’s ever waited months for a document the system promised in days. The real crisis? When paperwork becomes a weapon to delay justice.
