This video (in Tamil) is a good example of the absolute falsehoods that DK megaphones like this woman dish out regularly.
She talks of a story by writer Sujatha in which a fwd community guy, who despite being well qualified, doesn't get a PSU job. 1/n

The job goes to a girl from a SC/ST community. This DK speaker seemingly mocks at Sujatha with basically the question: "how could a forward community guy have applied for a reserved post?"
We could easily go past this shrill rhetorical video & not give it anymore viewership. 2/n

But when guys who come across as sticklers for facts RT, in blissful wokeness, this video on my TL without knowing about the Sujatha story, then this DK woman has to be rebuffed.
This Sujatha story is "சாதி இரண்டாழிய..." and it is from his "மத்யமர்" collection of stories. 3/n

Right off the bat, Sujatha makes it clear that there are two slots of interviews. So basically to say that the guy applied for a job ear-marked for SC/ST candidates is a clear lie. 4/n 
And the writer also doesn't blindly oppose the reservation system. Also, in the flow of the story, it is also explained why sometimes the interview process is slightly different for 'quota' candidates. 5/n
The lady candidate in the interview doesn't forget her PhD thesis as claimed by the DK speaker. In fact, the candidates are just college freshers. She is unable to explain her college project. 6/n
Sujatha's story, as insidiously insinuated by that falsehoods-mouthing DK woman, is not about a poor SC/ST lady candidate. In this story, she is the daughter of a high-ranking govt official. 7/n
Now, if you read the story in totality, you will understand that it sure takes potshots at the reservation system.
But it is basically fiction and the writer creates a plausible reality where the predicament of an upper caste student is dealt with. You can debate the point. 8/n

A writer creates multiples universes in his various offerings. When this "மத்யமர்" collection came out Sujatha was criticised by upper caste people for projecting them in unflattering light (in the other stories.) 9/n
Be that as it may, the point here is this DK lady has distorted the story and spouted outright lies to peddle her peeved opinions.
I don't expect anything better from the DK folks. But the custodians of wokeness on the TL can do better than RT such shallow stuff. 10/10
