Caste and its impact on the Indian electoral politics is well researched and well documented; one can explore the development of this trend through the formation of caste associations after 1857 till the formation of a separate Bihar state in 1912. As early as 1887, a Kayastha conference was organised with a view to protect and promote the interests of Kayasthas. Other caste associations followed suit, like Dusadh Mahasabha (1891) and Bhumihar Brahman Mahasabha (1896). The most effective among these was, of course, the Gope Mahasabha formed in 1912. Till 1921, the formation of caste associations and the holding of caste conferences went on unabated. Kurmis, Sao (Banias), Teli and also Doms joined in the race to form such associations.

Caste-mobilised Democratisation

In post-independence India, with the advent of democratic elections, caste consolidations started influencing political choices, parties and alliances. Thus, caste has played an important role in the twin processes of democratisation of politics and consolidation of democracy by helping in bridging the gap between Indias social and political democracy, and this has been underlined time and again (Jaffrelot 2003). If political participation in the electoral process makes a democracy successful, then caste has played an important role in strengthening democracy. But many analysts feel that such caste-mobilised democratisation led to weakening governance too.
