Yes #SmashBrahmanicalPatriarchy and every other kind of patriarchy, misogyny & #sexism regardless of the caste, class, race or religion that habits it. And they all do. But this poster #JackDorsey held was interesting for a number of reasons which I will discuss in this thread. 
2/ Firstly, the picture on this poster of a #Dalit woman, reinforces upper-caste, discriminatory, caste stereotypes that holds that the lower caste are dark skinned with Afroid hair & facial features. We all know this untrue. There is no way you can identify caste by color!
3/ In fact it is this kind of stereotype about what Dalit women look like and do, which Jack's poster reinforces, that Dalit women in India have been fighting. #jackinindia
We don't care bout #Dalitlives. It's obvious. So when a #Dalit student is raped/murdered, intestines pulled out,we won't beg you for empathy
If u don't care about #Jisha being brutally tortured, stab & mutilated, don't. But don't even for one sec, question it being a caste crime.
Here's why: Dalit women, esp #Jisha, are at the bottom of every societal structure. Caste, class & gender. Meaning: Dalit, poor & a woman.
