AHINDA
AHINDA (A Kannada acronym for Alpasankhyataru or minorities, Hindulidavaru or backward classes, and Dalitaru or Dalits) is a Political terminology coined by the Karnataka state's first backward leader Devraj Urs, AHINDA has been reinvigorated by Siddaramaiah.

There are two explanations regarding the motives behind AHINDA. Firstly, it is a challenge to the continuing dominant caste hegemony in Karnataka politics. Secondly, it is a non-political social movement aimed at pursuing the cause of social justice to the oppressed classes.

The religious minorities, Dalit and Adivasis constitute 39% of the state’s population – Muslims and Christians (14.79%), Scheduled Castes (17.14%) and Scheduled Tribes (6.95%) and thus they form a significant electorate within the state. However political alignment is not along demographic lines because of the inherent political differences between Chalavadi and Madiga sub groups within Scheduled Castes.

In 2013 Karnataka Legislative Assembly election, the AHINDA strategy of Siddaramaiah has steered Indian National Congress to a decisive victory. It played as a "subaltern hindutwa" Social engineering model of Karnataka. However in the 2018 Karnataka Legislative Assembly elections the strategy did not prove worthy for Indian National Congress as counter consolidation and other factors played a major role in deciding the sway.
