I noticed that a lot of Bahujans have been articulating and defending reservations in recent times. And the frequency with which this has been happening has reached manifold since Clubhouse got popular. (1/7)
It is something I have also done in varying degrees until I got to read @Anoopkheri bhai. Reading him made me realize what an utter waste of time it is to defend reservations and why Savarnas want you to repeatedly perform this defending act. (2/7)
Here is an excerpt from @Anoopkheri bhai's speech. You can read the entire speech from the RTI link at the end of this thread. (3/7)
"The same thing happens when you utter the word caste; the first reaction from the upper castes is "What about reservation?" And they will not listen to you. They will not listen to the point you are making and they just want to reduce the debate to reservation. (4/7)
Because that is their issue; that is what hurts them. Reservation doesn't hurt me at all so it is not my issue.
For me, the reservation debate was settled when the constitution was written. I am not debating reservation. (5/7)

Whether it's good or bad, that is your debate because it hurts you.
I am going to talk about caste. I am going to talk about discrimination, I am going to talk about atrocities. (6/7)

I am going to talk about things that my community goes through because that is what is important for me."
