Kshatriya Parishad strongly condemns the recent Jalaun assault on a Dalit youth, wherein the accused Nora Chaturvedi was filmed invoking Maharana Pratap's name for his vile act.
This is yet another instance of non-Rajputs appropriating Rajput history for their own politics.
Such repeated appropriations necessitate a separate Kshatriya Commission to protect the community's rights and preserve its history from appropriations by anti-social elements.
Just as Sikh scholars have a definitive say on use of Sikh history, Muslim scholars have the constitutional bodies and academic institutions to oppose misuse of their History - the Rajput (Kshatriya) community deserves similar academic institutions to protect their history from misuse by others.
