Background
Mr.Sivaji is from West Godavari district, India which has a sizable population of Mala (caste). He played a prominent role in Mala Mahanadu and rose to level of national president. He is a strong Opponent of Categorization of Scheduled Castes. Mala Mahanadu was united when it was under P.V rao but after his death it was divided owing to the differences among the top leaders. Karem alleges that Jupudi was the stooge of Congress and his stir was aimed at diluting the Mala's agitation.
Social activism
Karem Sivaji has did many indefinite hunger strikes to put pressure on Government to stop SC categorization. Mala mahanadu activists under his leadership staged dharnas before the Collectorates, climbed Cell phone towers, attempted suicides to show their resistance to SC Categorization. Karem was arrested on many occasions for doing such things.
Shivaji believed in Chiru's social Justice and has supported PRP during 2009 elections. However he is politically active unlike his rival Jupudi who is now in YSR Congress Party. He is also in favour of bifurcation of state as it would make Mala's a key social group in Coastal Andhra region and the division will make SCs strong contenders for CM's post in both states.
