@sarah_ather__ @h_tejas There is no caste or casteism amongst muslims.
To equate societal discrimination & endogamy as caste & casteism amongst muslims is a bad faith argument designed to burden & equate muslims for the casteism structure amongst hindus, as also furthering -
1-All Indians are Hindus
1/n

@sarah_ather__ @h_tejas 2-Mughals perpetuated caste in India
3-LC Hindus were induced to convert
4-UC Hindus were forced to convert
5-Muslims need to follow Indian culture & not some desert culture
6-Muslims discriminate against Dalits
7-UC discrimination is sanctioned by religion but not muslims

@sarah_ather__ @h_tejas A series of such narratives that have been seeded over time & now being orchestrated as part of the dehumanisation & fragmentation of Muslims in India
The Ambedkarite movement is enabling, fronting this RSS initiative against Muslims
Yet again we see the same process being 3/n

@sarah_ather__ @h_tejas deployed i.e.
- creating a feverish pitch on a subject targeting Muslims triggered by an incident
- various societal segments jumping into the fray
- muslim voices being fragmented
- need for "reform of evils within muslim society-freedom of women" pushed into the narrative

@sarah_ather__ @h_tejas -stage set for legal/administrative to step in
-framework for legal/administrative "solution" contextualised
-"law/judgement created" to subjugate muslims further
A template utilised in the Babri Masjid case, TT case, Hijab case, control of waqf, beef ban, disturbed areas act
5/n

@sarah_ather__ @h_tejas Kashmir, Lakshwadeep, Enemy property act modification, ignoring Sachar commission report, Justice Krishna Iyer report on Mumbai Riots, normalising the abuse of TADA, POTA, UAPA against muslims, denial of representation of muslims...
The most important aspect of all this abuse
6/n

@sarah_ather__ @h_tejas Is the framing of the entire situation to justify the abuse, leading to the denial of the victimhood of muslims & wiping out all evidence of opposition by framing it as a reaction to an action thereby ensuring the current generation of muslims blames their past generation
7/n

@sarah_ather__ @h_tejas and hold their parents, grand parents, great grand parents responsible rather than knowing the truth of how this has been orchestrated to protect the perpetrators not just in the current times but also through history.
While we may not be able to change the current scenario
8/n

@sarah_ather__ @h_tejas The least we can do is ensure that when history is written our coming generations know the truth & have evidence to hold those accountable for these atrocities rather than blame their own past generations, thereby allowing the perpetrators to continue their show unhindered
