I completely agree with your suggestion of starting with the Const. Assembly debates where upper castes had expressed their indignation at B. R. Ambedkar's views on the Indian village being 'a den of iniquity'. I'm sure there are hundreds of references to this conflict of views and it's resolution which must be documented by the SC-ST Commission and various commissions on the subject.
As for women, Congress has again shot itself in the foot by promising 33% reservation in govt. jobs for them. Whereas women's groups have been asking for reservation in Parliament and assemblies, not so much in govt. jobs. Why can't we study and emulate the equal opportunity legislation enacted by other governments including the former Soviets and the US? The NCW would have relevant literature.
