In past 10 hrs, besides being trolled, I've been searched on wiki, Facebk (screenshots of my personal acc floated), Instagram & past tweets

A multi directional "HATE ATTACK" has been kind of triggered based on ONE Tweet, where I have linked caste behind violence of #Dalitkids

Regardless of the argument that single tweet has been floated to prove I don't know what I am talking about & that I am dumb.

But I am not surprised even one bit. Why? Because that's how they suppress #Daiit/pro-Dalit voices.

Remember the rabid haste to prove #RohithVemula anti-national?He was a #Dalit voice that scared them.They didn't want people to listen to it

So they labeled #RohithVemula as anti-national, so they could in some twisted way, justify his murder. So they could drown his voice out.

They are so scared of changing the status quo and #Dalits standing up against them, they'll do ANYTHING to keep them oppressed.

Of course, these UC trolls are REALLY good at vicious humiliation of #Dalits. Why? They've learnt from their history of oppression!

I am not #Vemula, but that SAME thing I saw happen to me today. They could pick anything, any tweet and use it to prove me wrong.

Based on a closing argument,they built an entire case of me being a bad journalist therefore not worthy of being heard or paid attention

They do it to most journalists. To shut them up so they don't say anything that reveals their own prejudice.But it's worse since I am #Dalit

My voice is especially scary to these hateful trolls. They don't want to hear it and they don't want anyone else to.

Some said I am HURTING the cause by pointing out 'useless' #casteism. #Casteism they can't use for their own purposes.

Here's a message to you trolls,esp the ones who control this juggernaut: I'm just getting warmed up. And there's NOTHING u can do to stop me

Trolling101 What I learnt: Pick a tweet out of context, use a popular acc to RT making it sound incoherent, unleash brainwashed rabid trolls

Let's see the pattern. My SINS so far: Verified twitter acc, @columbiajourn degree, my name, my saying the crime was driven by caste.

They can't ignore my voice so they are attacking my credentials. So I can't be taken seriously. I'm gonna LOVE proving them wrong! #trolls
