&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Although the CAA has sparked huge protest among the Muslim minority, it seems to be attracting voters from the Namasudra community towards the BJP.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Namasudra community of West Bengal is gradually moving towards the Bharatiya Janata Party, evident from the latter&amp;rsquo;s win in constituencies dominated by the caste group. In fact, the BJP&amp;rsquo;s entry in the state was marked by its victory in Namasudra-dominated Basirhat Dakshin assembly constituency in 2014. In the 2019 Lok Sabha election, Shantanu Thakur became the first non-TMC/non-CPM leader to win from Bongaon, a constituency reserved for the Scheduled Castes. In an obvious attempt to further tap into the community&amp;rsquo;s vote bank, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, during his November visit to Bengal, broke bread at a Namasudra household.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The growing support for the BJP among the Namasudras is worth examining because the community is known for its anti-Brahmin mobilisation in the past, whereas the BJP is widely recognised as a Brahmin-Bania party. By tracing the genealogy of the evolution of Namasudras, and their problems and pattern of political mobilisation, we can see how the community&amp;rsquo;s current inclination towards the BJP came about.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Although the CAA has sparked huge protest among the Muslim minority, it seems to be attracting voters from the Namasudra community towards the BJP.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The Namasudra community of West Bengal is gradually moving towards the Bharatiya Janata Party, evident from the latter&amp;rsquo;s win in constituencies dominated by the caste group. In fact, the BJP&amp;rsquo;s entry in the state was marked by its victory in Namasudra-dominated Basirhat Dakshin assembly constituency in 2014. In the 2019 Lok Sabha election, Shantanu Thakur became the first non-TMC/non-CPM leader to win from Bongaon, a constituency reserved for the Scheduled Castes. In an obvious attempt to further tap into the community&amp;rsquo;s vote bank, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, during his November visit to Bengal, broke bread at a Namasudra household.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The growing support for the BJP among the Namasudras is worth examining because the community is known for its anti-Brahmin mobilisation in the past, whereas the BJP is widely recognised as a Brahmin-Bania party. By tracing the genealogy of the evolution of Namasudras, and their problems and pattern of political mobilisation, we can see how the community&amp;rsquo;s current inclination towards the BJP came about.&lt;/p&gt;

Namasudras are getting closer to BJP in West Bengal. There is a tradeoff -Arvind Kumar and Manisha Majumdar

-ThePrint.in Although the CAA has sparked huge protest among the Muslim minority, it seems to be attracting voters from the Namasudra community towards the BJP. The Namasudra community of West Bengal is gradually moving towards the Bharatiya Janata Party, evident from the latter’s win in constituencies dominated by the caste group. In fact, the BJP’s entry in the state was marked by its victory in Namasudra-dominated Basirhat Dakshin assembly constituency in 2014. In the 2019 Lok Sabha election, Shantanu Thakur became the first non-TMC/non-CPM leader to win from Bongaon, a constituency reserved for the Scheduled Castes. In an obvious attempt to further tap into the community’s vote bank, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, during his November visit to Bengal, broke bread at a Namasudra household. The growing support for the BJP among the Namasudras is worth examining because the community is known for its anti-Brahmin mobilisation in the past, whereas the BJP is widely recognised as a Brahmin-Bania party. By tracing the genealogy of the evolution of Namasudras, and their problems and pattern of political mobilisation, we can see how the community’s current inclination towards the BJP came about.
