BREAKING NEWS: SC, ST, OBC Candidates Get Lower Marks in Interviews Despite Performing Well in Written: #Caste Discrimination in University of Hyderabad's PhD Admissions Revealed by RTI Filed by @asahcu @dpradhanbjp @EduMinOfIndia @ugc_india @NCSC_GoI @ahir_hansraj

Thread 🧵⬇️
The Ambedkar Students' Association collated data from multiple RTI applications and found that students belonging to reserved categories are marked much lower in interviews than those in the general category despite similar marks in the entrance exam.
Some faculties have marked SC, ST, OBC candidates with zero marks, and in extreme cases, seven out of eight interview panelists awarded zero marks for an SC student.
An OBC student who scored high in the entrance exam was given only 2.4 marks in the interview, while another faculty gave zero marks to 14 out of 18 students in the Centre for Women's Studies.
Some departments did not award marks to reserved category students and marked them as "not suitable" in violation of UGC norms.
The role of cognitive biases in perpetuating caste discrimination must be addressed through training programs and awareness campaigns to ensure all students have an equal opportunity to succeed.
The University and @EduMinOfIndia must take immediate action to address the issue of caste discrimination in its PhD admission process and ensure a fair and just system for all students. #CognitiveBias #CasteDiscrimination #PhDAdmissions #UniversityOfHyderabad @university
Data analysis based on empirical facts by @arvind_kumar__ reveals a correlation between the category of candidates and their interview scores in the Civil Services interviews conducted by UPSC as well. #UPSC #CivilServices #CasteBias theprint.in/opinion/your-u…

मुसलमान/ईसाई- हमारे धर्म के लोगों को SC आरक्षण क्यों नहीं मिलता?

जवाब - क्या आपके धर्म में छुआ-छूत है? क्या आप लोग आप लोग आपस में छूआ-छूत करते हैं?

मुसलमान/ईसाई- क्या बात करते हो? हमारे धर्म में सब बराबर हैं।

जवाब- फिर अछूतपन के आधार पर बनी लिस्ट SC का आरक्षण आपको कैसे मिलेगा?
हिंदुओं में तो धर्म में छुआ-छूत है। मनुस्मृति से लेकर महाभारत सब जगह इसका वर्णन है।
1935 में पहली बार अछूत जातियों की लिस्ट यानी Schedule बना। सिर्फ़ depressed classes को ही इनमें रखा गया। यही विधान अब भी है।

पिछड़ेपन के आधार पर OBC है। इसमें मुसलमान और ईसाई धर्मों की ज़्यादातर जातियाँ हैं।

Exploring the Similarities in Themes, Collaborations, Use of Violence and Music: Vetrimaaran and Quentin Tarantino’s Impactful Filmographies!" #Vetrimaaran #ViduthalaiPart1 #Tarantino 🧵⬇️ ImageImageImageImage
Vetrimaaran and Tarantino are both highly acclaimed film directors known for their attention to detail and gripping narratives. While Vetrimaaran's films deal with social issues in India and Tarantino's films are often genre-bending and pay homage to classic films. ImageImageImageImage
Vetrimaaran's films "Visaranai" and "Asuran" and Tarantino's "Django Unchained" and "Kill Bill" films deal with characters seeking revenge against their oppressors. In Vetrimaaran's "Visaranai" and Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction," violence is used to highlight the harsh realities. ImageImageImageImage

ग़लत मत समझिए। हम लोग झगड़ा नहीं कर रहे हैं। ये निगमागम सम्मत शास्त्रार्थ है। वेदोक्त तरीक़े से हो रही आपसी बातचीत है। किसी बाहर वालों को इसमें नहीं पड़ना चाहिए।

हम लोग आपस में सैटल कर लेंगे। Image

राजनीति की रहस्य कथा: राजनीति विज्ञान की प्रोफ़ेसर, राहुल गांधी द्वारा 2013 में अध्यादेश को फाड़ना, लोकसभा से लालू यादव की विदाई और अब राहुल गांधी की लोकसभा सदस्यता पर लटकी तलवार 🗡️ ! इतिहास चक्र की पेचीदा गलियाँ । 🧵⬇️
2019 के चुनाव प्रचार के दौरान के राहुल गांधी के एक भाषण पर अहमदाबाद की एक अदालत ने राहुल गांधी को कल दो साल क़ैद की सजा सुनाई। लोक प्रतिनिधित्व क़ानून के तहत ऐसे मामलों में अब सदस्यता जाने का प्रावधान है। हालाँकि वकील इसकी अपने तरह से व्याख्या कर रहे हैं।
अब आपको आज से दस साल पीछे ले चलते हैं। तब सुप्रीम कोर्ट के आदेश के बाद ये स्थिति बनी थी कि दो साल से ज़्यादा की सजा होने पर मेंबरी जाएगी। मनमोहन सिंह सरकार ने इसे बदलने के लिए अध्यादेश लाया, जिसे कांग्रेस के उस समय के उपाध्यक्ष राहुल गांधी ने फाड़ दिया। वह अध्यादेश लागू नहीं हुआ।

History has come a full circle for Rahul Gandhi as his opposition to an ordinance in 2013 led to the disqualification of Lalu Yadav. Now, Rahul Gandhi faces disqualification under the same act, as Lalu Yadav's fate echoes in his own. ☹️🧵⬇️ Image
In 2013, the Manmohan Singh-led UPA cabinet passed an ordinance to protect convicted lawmakers from disqualification, but it was met with criticism and protests, and Rahul Gandhi publicly spoke out against it.
Rahul Gandhi, who was the Vice President of the Indian National Congress at the time, publicly spoke out against the ordinance and tore a copy of it in front of the media, declaring that it was "complete nonsense" and "should be torn up and thrown away."

. @thenewsminute uses the term 'lowered caste' to describe @mkstalin and @pinarayivijayan during their participation in an anti-caste program. This sparked a discussion about the term ‘lowered caste’ @rgmlk @dhanyarajendran 🧵⬇️
Here is a thread comparing "lower caste" and "lowered caste" and arguing why the usage of "lowered caste" is better than ‘lower caste.’
"Lower caste" implies that a particular group of people is inherently inferior, while "lowered caste" acknowledges that their social status was forcibly lowered through systematic oppression.
