It's a privilege to be a Hindu, in this nation, amidst the demography of Muslims, Avarnas, Christians or Adivasis. But, especially when it comes to beef or cow smuggling, it's a "cherry on a cake" privilege if you're a Brahmin, Rajput or OBC amongst Hindus.

Thread.

This whole thread consist of snippets and excerpts on the matter of Hindus involvement in cow smuggling business & hate politics against Muslims, via an article (May 2021 issue) from @thecaravanindia, followed by few tweets from my end on Hindu religion's support for beef.

2/13
This whole phenomenon I call it "cowmunism" which is inherently political, apathetic & hypocritical.

To begin with one of this 'ism' feature, let's ratiocinate that the esoteric intent of Hindus involvement has also to do with getting access to the clout of cow smuggling.

"When it comes to money, all are of the same religion." - Voltaire

Surely, there wouldn't be any outrage on discovering the involvement of an upper-caste Hindu man who has links with BJP. Dark humor: Replace the name of a Hindu here with a Muslim, you'll see lynching

5 mins of silence for those who think that this smuggling business isn't an organized racket without the blessings of police.

Note: Hindutva on twitter should oblige to Bangladesh for providing good revenues to Hindus involved in racket. Many Muslims have shut their trade.

I am sure that cretins like her or many other sanghis on twitter would not be calling-out the hypocrisy or dual personality issues of a fascist party-in-power

OTOH, Swami Vivekananda who happens to be Hindutva's 'sudden favorite leader' preferred beef-eating Hindus anytime

8/13

The recent rakhigarhi skeletons findings prove that ancient India consumed beef. The BJP government has not made the report public because it'll backfire at its hate politics.

Nevertheless, it also has religious back-up (thread)
In a span of last 7 years, there's an increment in hate crimes by up to 300% against Muslims, Dalits and other minorities. Well, sadly, India voted for it so Indians are having it.

BJP & their toadies on twitter or elsewhere have nothing to do with cows. It's about apathy

In fact, the supremo's besties (Jains) are in the same business. Check by yourself: ummid.com/news/2015/Octo…

On a larger (global) scale, mainly Hindus are in the beef business. Think again sabrangindia.in/article/who-ma…

On the behest of few well-wishers on twitter, here's a brief thread of my articles (Part-One) that you're entitled to use/read/refute them freely or even to use it as a counter to the ultracrepidarians' ignorance on twitter or elsewhere.

Part-2 or podcasts some other day.

Note: I'm 'master of none, jack of all'. Like Dr Ambedkar, I'm a polymath too. So all these work from my end are interdisciplinary by nature, in this epoch of information globalisation!

If you think my blogs are underrated on twitter, please amplify this thread.

With all due respect, here's a quick thread on contemporary Periyarism!

1/4

With special regards to the so-called ideological coalition with Ambedkarites, despite being an Ambedkarite, some imp. 3 pointers for both the entities that can be replied without trolling me or anyone:
Point 1

Ambedkarites might still prefer separate electorates for Dalits, while the Periyarites would want self-determination rights for themselves. Assuming that Article 1 of Constitution be abolished, Periyarites go in sync with Ambedkar's speech on 'grammar of anarchy'?

2/4
Point 2

Periyarites, like Ambedkarites, are anti-Brahminism too. Would care to explain the crescendo of caste-based crimes, in the context of NCRB data, in Periyar's land?

Thanks for saying this. I remember getting brutally trolled in December 2020 for critiquing the theory of Mayawati's statues by few militant Ambedkarites. I accept I was ignorant about significance of statue's face diplomacy, but instead of guiding me...I was trolled

Thread 1/16
Considering how the Indian state has been brahminized by undermining the Ambedkarite voices, I realised Mayawati's step lately. In this thread, I offer constructive outlook on Mayawati's 2022 approaches with a little essence on past and present politics.

2/16
First of all, I plead her supporters on one thing: Listen. Listen. Listen.

Not every critic or potential supporter is a villain. As a person, I have something to say than have to say something. I have my own lived experiences in this regard.

Yesterday was #LaborDay but none of us recalled some revolutionary thoughts of Bhagat Singh, a freedom fighter who has been appropriated by India's riot/hindutva wing today.

Bhagat believed that caste/casteism degraded the life/dignity of laborer.

Thread.

2/13

The caste system, according to Bhagat Singh, was a system to extract free and cheap labour from the most under-privileged communities.

In ‘Satyagraha and Strike’ (1928), Bhagat ratiocinated that manual scavengers (untouchables) were the real working class: Image

Bhagat also believed that all those social reform movements lead by upper-caste were not intended to free the untouchables from the matrix of casteism. Upper-caste positively remember untouchables, only when there's a reaction to be done against communal representation. Image

Amid a population of 135 crore, only 1.2L beneficiaries received incentives under 'Inter-Caste Marriage scheme' in 7 years. Although it's said that government's motivation to drive social exogamy is noble but is monetary incentivization enough to make the point?

Data here.
1/11
This measure i.e. promoting inter-caste marriages by providing financial assistance to couples marrying to Scheduled Castes (SCs) has been rolled out by governments at central & state levels to eradicate caste-based discrimination & increase intermingling of castes.

2/11
Inter-caste marriages are sanctioned by Special Marriage Act, 1954 and the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955. Financial assistance of Rs. 2.5 Lakhs is provided to inter-caste couples where one of the spouses belongs to SCs.

As if money alone will undo casteism!

The price for standing for yourself is the greatest treasure that one has to pay to bear the cost of toxic parenting, social statism and 'culture'.

Here's the case of a so-called friend, a girl, who was intimidated today morning by her 'Rajput' dad.

Thread.
1/10
Her crime is that she believes that she can make decisions for herself. She is financially independent, but her hindu 'rajput' family is against her personal choice i.e. getting married to a hindu guy of 'vaishya' caste, lower than 'kshatriya' clan.

2/10
I was not in touch with her since last few years. But when she suddenly remembered me today morning for assistance and empathy, I concluded that I turned out to be a candle in this dark time. I cancelled my lecs. and headed her home.
