‘Comic’ #AtulKhatri called #RangoliChandel a ‘Chandaal’ for her genocide inducing tweet
With a history of using Dalit caste names as slurs, he is:
1. Equating a proto-fascist bigot w/ an entire community of oppressed ppl
2. Creating more caste-hatred for Chandaals than exists

That using a caste name as a slur is not ok should be common sense. But for casteist bigots who need schooling...
It reduces the humanity of a whole section of people to a curse, creating a false idea that it's valid to 'abuse' a Chandaal or a Bhangi -- verbally & physically

Every time someone says 'You look like a Bhangi' when calling lack of hygiene or 'Don't be a chamaar' for 'ill-manners,' validates & reinforces the 'lowerness' of Dalits, directly leading to their oppression including violence. It also makes Dalits (kids) feel invalid/unworthy.
Maybe being casteist and bigoted as you are, you might not care about how Dalits feel as a result of your toxic behavior.
But you might care a little when you could be charged under the Prevention of Atrocities Against SC/STs act.
So stop.
