I got all India rank 34(overall) & got 2nd rank in SC category in ICAR JRF (Entomology) in 2016. But I couldn't get University of my choice because that year some University didn't even had a single seat for Scheduled Caste (SC in Entomology department.

#CasteReservation #Merit
So eventually I selected a decent University, but not of my liking. Students from general category got selected from state exam (state reservation) and joined me there.
I appeared an all India exam (central) and they appeared state exam to reach the same place.
Then two of those general category batchmates have the audacity to say they were more meritorious than me.

I challenged them to appear the central exam next year & compare the scores. But they denied saying "Ambedkarwadi logo ka yahi prblm hai" 😅
I insisted . But, They just ignored my suggestion and one of them said "मेरिट का पता चल जाएगा, देख लेंगे किसको कौन सी नौकर मिलती है"

Then he added "अरे नौकरी में भी तेरा रिजर्वेशन है न"

The hate in their mind against Reservation and all the Dalits is unimaginable.

DO WE NEED CASTE-BASED RESERVATION IN 21st CENTURY?

A thread 🧵 Image
WAS RESERVATION ONLY FOR 10 YEARS ?

Only the political reservations (seats reserved in Loksabha, Vidhansabha, etc) were to be reserved for 10 yrs and the policy review was to be made after that. So after every 10 yrs the parliament extends political reservations.

(Article 334) Image
WHY CAN'T WE PROVIDE RESERVATION ON ECONOMIC CRITERION?

An individual’s Economic status can change. But Caste doesn't change with money. People need reservation for equal representation of oppressed people in all the powerful and decision making positions.

Most of the Buddhist today don't understand the Dhamma.

#Dhammam by @beemji, like every piece of unapologetic work of art, has initiated an important discussion around Budhha & Dhamma.
Many cases of misreporting had been brought to the knowledge of the Buddha while he was alive.
There are similar doctrines that also have a place in the Brahminic religion like karma and rebirth ; consequently, it was easy for the Bhanakas to incorporate brahminic tenets into buddhist religion.

Can a poor ever become capitalist?

Can a woman ever become patriarchal?

Can a Dalit ever become brahminical? Image
Those who are quick to say Yes to One of them and No to other on the above 3 question need to make their thinking strong and clear.

He/she is a hypocrite.
But, people who say yes to all of them are called liberals. But I am not one of them.

For me, a poor can never become a capitalist.
A woman can never become patriarchal.
A Dalit can never become brahminical.
