Fighting to protect & expand reservations | Private Sector Reservation Now | Social Justice through Representation

Likely factors in Sahil Wakode’s alleged institutional killing at IIT Bombay: routine caste slurs, scholarship discrimination, targeted harassment, selective punishment, institutional neglect, and destruction/suppression of evidence, including his final letter.

Stop using Ambedkarite in your bio. Babasaheb showed our people the path to emancipation through Buddhism and stood by it until his last breath. Stop misleading our people. Our people need to stop making such👇 hypocrites famous.
Dalits should think twice before converting to any other religion. The reason is simple. We have seen an increasing number of judicial decisions where reservations are denied on conversion. There are inherent issues with conversions. The probability that your reservation is denied is very high. So my advice to all those converting to other religion, Please take legal advice and convert.

Look at the media coverage! It's all obsession over culprits shooting at some actor. Is this seriously the top priority of Indian media right now? It is right next to Azad Maidan…

@iitbombay director shireesh kedare is a product of academic inbreeding. A practice that absolves them of accountability & morality. Despite clear rejections and sustained opposition from large sections of students communities, he shamelessly continues to hold office. Perhaps kedare needs to be sent for a refresher course on instututional ethics.

Hindu parties like BJP and Congress should likewise completely stop using Ambedkar image for their politics and completely focus on hindutva and secularism. That will expose that these are only brahmin parties and get much more followers for Buddhism.
Ambedkarites should follow Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s path and renounce Hinduism if they believe that Hinduism is incompatible with their ideology. Even those so called upper caste liberals who claim to be Ambedkarite should have the courage to stand by these principles. Perhaps this would finally make many Hindus realise that not everyone from the SC community necessarily identifies with Ambedkarite ideology, and that many continue to identify as Hindus. The reality is that I doubt even 10% of SCs would actually renounce Hinduism. I have plenty of friends from the SC community who worship Lord Ram and Lord Krishna and place their faith in them above Ambedkar. Ambedkarites are not representative of the entire SC community, they are just projecting their ideology onto a much larger population. If renouncing Hinduism is central to their ideology, they should follow through with that conviction. Doing so would also help distinguish those who genuinely subscribe to Ambedkarite ideology from those who continue to identify with Hindu traditions. The uncomfortable truth is that many Ambedkarites may be reluctant to renounce Hinduism because doing so would expose the gap between their ideological influence and their actual support base. If more than 90% of SCs continue to identify as Hindus, as I suspect, then Ambedkarites would have to acknowledge that they represent a minority within the community rather than speak as though they represent everyone!

Some people, especially Gandhians, believe that Caste is bad only because it creates overt discrimination against Dalits. Which makes them say that Caste can exist if the discrimination against Dalits can somehow disappear. They're wrong. Totally wrong. The vision of our Constitution is to create a democratic society. Caste, as a social institution, is inherently anti-democratic. Its structure is anti-democratic. Democracy requires free association, equal social status, and open channels of interaction between social groups. There must be social endosmosis—the free flow of interaction, ideas, and relationships across social boundaries. Caste destroys these channels by creating hereditary, closed communities whose boundaries are reproduced through endogamy and enforced social separation. The problem with caste is not merely that it discriminates, but that it institutionalises separation. Even without overt discrimination, a system that determines social membership by birth and restricts free association remains anti-democratic. Where birth determines social boundaries, fraternity cannot flourish; without fraternity, democracy remains incomplete.

What’s remarkable about the movement for justice for Sahil Wakode is that Dalit students, Dalit media, and Dalit intellectuals built and amplified it entirely on their own. The non-Dalit liberal ecosystem was forced to show solidarity only when it became too big to ignore.

State repression cannot silence the demand for justice. On Oct 19 at the Press Club Mumbai, @aiisca exposed and condemned the cowardly police brutality unleashed on Ambedkarite activists and students fighting for Sahil Wakode. #JusticeForSahil

Once Vishwaguru told us, "Before 2014, Only Rich People Could Afford To Fly", then came grand promise: "Hawai chappal-wearing common citizens should be able to travel in Hawai Jahaj" Reality: Domestic flight now costs more than a ticket to Bangkok and a 3AC Rajdhani berth costs more than the airfare of UPA years. Rare Feat in governance!!

Dark times for Ambedkarism today as the whole legacy of Dr. Ambedkar is completely under Brahminical control: From Mahabodhi to Deeksha-bhoomi. Questions must be raised to all the Politicians who claim to be Ambedkarites and allowed this to happen right in front of them.
When you come to Akola on tomorrow to celebrate Ashok Vijayadashami and Dhamma Chakra Pravartan Diwas, come prepared with banners and a concrete commitment for social justice. We have to fight unite to free Deekshabhoomi and Mahabodhi Buddha Vihara from RSS-Brahmanical Manuwadi control and raise our voices against dilution of reservations and the institutional murders of our children in educational institutions. The assembly tomorrow on October 21 in Akola will be more than a celebration, it will be our powerful assertion of our Dhamma and for equality, dignity and political empowerment against Brahmanical Manuwadi oppression. Jai Bhim. Namo Buddhay.

I think so she does not know the difference between People from West Bengal & people from Bangladesh
Illegal immigrants are present in every corner of India. They work as gardeners, cleaners, helpers, etc. Why isn’t there a single government helpline number to report them? U.S. has a 24/7 helpline to report illegals. Why don't we have one?

क्या नेहा बोरा के बारे में भी लिखोगे की वो क्षत्रिय युवती है. प्रशांत भूषण यहां चालबाजी कर रहा है. अभिजीत दीपके को दलित आइडेंटिटी से जोड़कर राजनीतिक कद छोटा कर रहा है. मैंने पहले ही कहा था, BJP का विरोध करने वाला व्यक्ति जरूरी नही की वो 24 कैरट का सोना हो.
