"Karuppi" in "#PariyarumPerumal" is the metaphor used by @mari_selvaraj to signify everyone who doesn't understand the Caste system properly, but still suffers because of the Caste system.
Pariyan and his friends left the Pond. Then UC man urinate in the pond.
The UC old man killed a girl, the girl and her family will never know the reality.
UC old man kills a boy by drowning him in water. Ramalaxmi and his friends will never know the reason.
UC old man kills a man and there is a shot in which his gf is crying at the last seat of the bus. She will never understand the reason.
The police officer slaps and kicks the village head of Pariyan's village. He will never understand the reason.
JO didn't know why Pariyan was upset She will never know about casteist side of her father and relatives.
Pariyan's father would never understand why he was humiliated by the UC men at his son's Law college.
The caste is like the train.. you are already tied to the track without your choice.. you can bark but you can't escape.. even if you escape you don't know if you will face another life threatening attack in future. Caste will haunt you even if you don't understand it.

Today marks the 97th anniversary of the historic Mahad Satyagraha.
Here's a thread discussing this revolutionary non-violent protest, which was a significant milestone in the fight for social justice, dignity and equality for Dalits. 🧵
On August 4, 1923, SK Bole, a social reformer, proposed a resolution in the Bombay Legislative Council. The resolution stated:
The Bombay government reluctantly instructed all department heads on September 11, 1923 to implement it by 19th September 1923.
An in-depth analysis of the film "Fandry" directed by @Nagrajmanjule. 🧵
Family of Jabya ( Dalit) lives on the outskirts of a village. To make ends meet, the family chases away pigs and also kills them to prevent them from creating nuisance in the village—a task assigned to the Dalit family since upper-caste families consider it unhygienic & impure.
The young Jabya, however, remains disillusioned by the situation and develops feelings for an upper-caste girl, Shalu, who attends the same school.
We, as Dalits, are exhausted from repeatedly debunking this misinformation. It seems like the truth is often overlooked.
The 10-year limit was specifically for political reservation, a point Dr. Ambedkar never advocated. In fact, he opposed a fixed 10-year timeframe, even for political reservations for SCs.
