This has become an important issue from a political and social point of view and more revelations related to it may happen in the coming time. The debate going on about this proposal in Makhanlal Chaturvedi National Journalism and Communication University proves that even today efforts are being made for the strong participation of Dalit society in India. Only after the reaction of the public on this issue and the government steps, it will be clear whether steps will be taken in the direction of this important change.
