Well India is place where people compete to be identified as backward caste so they can get reservations/quota in colleges/jobs etc.
This article is written precisely for Western audience who wouldn't know these OBC are among extremely powerful part of political establishment. Reading this article one can imagine these people must be suffering unimaginable atrocities. One who lives in India knows in fact OBCs are largest group inflicting atrocities on actual lower castes which SCs/STs.
Its a problem not easy to solve. Governments all over India have strict laws against Dalit atrocities. But political considerations and uneven enforcement does not help people that are supposed to benefit from these laws.
Another big factor is India being poor country there are not enough material resources as West so lower castes can be given ample support to progress without taking away significant resources from others. This situation just causes more resentment across board.
