As the quota fires in Gujarat seem to die down, Patidar Anamat Andolan Samiti (PAAS) convenor Hardik Patel is planning the next round of agitations. This could start next week. Last week, he called a meeting of core supporters and decided to form a coordination committee for future action. One option is to take the agitation to other cities where Patels are present in large numbers. He is also planning to tie up with other communities like Jats and Gujjars and more meetings could take place this week. India needs to brace itself for more such caste-based assertion.
