Jaffrelot和Kalaiya asan研究了过去十年中农业动员方面的惊人变化。在几十年来反对平权行动之后，占主导地位的种姓正在动员起来，要求自己采取平权行动。Jaffrelot和Kalaiyaasan表明，农业以外的就业机会有限，加上农业停滞不前，导致了主要种姓之间的经济分化。与此同时，对其他落后阶级和达利特人的保留使这些群体的上层能够获得比许多不太富裕的主导种姓更令人向往的生计。主要种姓的成员要求被重新归类为OBC，以便他们有资格获得保留。Jaffrelot和Kalaiya asan观察到，随着经济分化的继续，看看种姓界限的动员是否会持续下去，或者农村政治动员是否进入一个新时代，这将是一个有趣的问题。
Jaffrelot and Kalaiyarasan examines surprising changes in agrarian mobilization in the last decade. After decades of opposing affirmative action, dominant castes are mobilizing to demand affirmative action for themselves. Jaffrelot and Kalaiyaasan show that limited employment generation outside of agriculture, along with agricultural stagnation, has led to economic differentiation among the dominant castes. At the same time, reservations for Other Backward Classes and Dalits have enabled the upper echelons of these groups to earn livelihoods that are more desirable than those of many of the less affluent dominant castes. Members of the dominant castes have responded by demanding to be reclassified as OBCs so that they become eligible for reservations. Jaffrelot and Kalaiyarasan observe that as economic differentiation continues, it will be interesting to see whether mobilization along caste lines persists or whether rural political mobilization enters a new era.
