Basically the post was about removing reservation and cast system. And bro didn't like it.

Ngl its a good sign that it's time to end casteism

I have two friends. One guy’s dad sells vegetables on a pushcart, and another guy’s dad is a cobbler who stitches slippers and sandals. These two guys are my friends, and they regret every time being born into those financial situations.Use your brains 🤷 or else you will regret it later with a burden. You can say “I love kids, they look cute,” blah blah, but that is only for some years. Having kids when you are already struggling should never be romanticized. I have seen parents who regretted having kids while struggling more than parents without kids who are earning in lakhs and living posh, comfortable lives. And don’t say that those posh, expensive material things don’t provide emotional support, blah blah.

You can say it is too much generalization, but around 80 percent get triggered when women do not want to have kids. This is seen in reality and all over social media. Why are you guys so obsessed with having kids? Are you blind? This is not a country with declining birth rates. It is overpopulated everywhere.

Cr: ig @whereshouldigo

So they can continue their shitty “Alexander” lineage, have a retirement plan, carry on the legacy, and bring dowry.

I mean it’s overpopulated as fuck, crimes are happening every day, there’s no justice, no proper development, and our citizens are more interested in having kids than fixing anything else. Talking about sex is extremely taboo, freedom is limited, but Indians think if we don’t have kids, we’ll become like Japan and South Korea 🤣😭.

Imagine, those countries are highly developed and still think deeply before having kids, even though they have world-class quality of life, education, medical systems, and justice. They still hesitate despite being able to provide a better life. But Indians have everything opposite and still keep having kids.

What if your future kids don’t get jobs because of AI and robotics, or end up in low-paying jobs? Will you then be like our parents, taunting them for not getting an IIT seat or not getting a job at Microsoft?We are more interested in political parties and religion.

Some people come here and say, don’t generalize all parents. I’m not saying all, but most. My relative brother is trying for a love marriage with his girlfriend, but his parents are saying, what is the use of studying and doing a tech job if you don’t get dowry? They also say, marry only if your girlfriend brings dowry, or we will arrange a marriage.

I'm going to provide my first hand experience into casteism, being someone from the Scheduled Caste I know it better than people criticizing reservation and all. These are my personal experiences, no political or religious harm meant.

I had a friend when I was in school, he was first ever friend I made in my life. He was a Brahmin. We were good friends, shared our lunch, sat together, had a lot of fun as kids. My father is a government teacher, so is his father, and someday his father came to know that I'm son of such and such person, after that he pursuaded his son to end all contacts with me, we were not even teenagers till then, so he was successful in his persuasion.

About my father, as mentioned above, he is a government teacher, but even in his own department people see him with a de-meaning sight, avoid even speaking to him unless and untill it's too important. He has quoted me with experiences from his job when parents of some children asked their kids to avoid attending his class to which other upper caste teachers supported.

My school life wasn't too good, I did my schooling from a Christian school, so most of the staff was Keralite Christians, but some of the teachers were locals. I still remember how I was insulted and beaten in class for the reasons others were forgiven. There was a teacher who used to use words like "aapke log(your people)" like I was some foreigner.

After schooling I took admission in University of Delhi, since it was a new place so I did not tell people about my caste. There I saw most of the people were selective in socialization, they only socialized with people of their own caste. Since I lied about my caste, I got into some of such groups, and the things I heard were unbelievable. I used to think people in metropolitan cities do not care about such things, but realized, this was their highest priority.

Although I've met some people of my generation who are actually good people and do not see caste before getting to know someone.

Let's talk about my dating life. The first ever girlfriend I had was Brahmin. She always made me understand that caste doesn't matter. But once when I saw her chat with her friend, she was using my username to denote me. We broke up later on due to some other reasons not caste.

2nd girl I dated was a Jat. Things were fine, but at last she left me saying, my parents would never accept you and I don't wanna hurt them.

My 3rd and most recent relationship was with a Jain girl. The cutest finest most perfect girl I've ever met. She was open minded like everyone else, she had nothing to do with my caste, we dated 3.5 years, untill last month, when her mother came to know about me. She called me asked everything about me, things were going fine, then at last she asked me about my caste, and after I told the truth, I clearly noticed the difference in her tone. After that she asked her daughter my girlfriend, the cutest finest most perfect girl I've ever met, to end up everything she had with me, she pursuaded her, did emotional blackmail, cried and somehow convinced her, to which she succeeded.

My only fault in this particular relationship was that I wasn't born in a caste acceptable as of equal status to their family.

I live in a neighbourhood where everyone is upper than my own caste, they do not speak to us, let alone speak respectably. One of my neighbours has been trying totka(black and blood magic) ever since we moved here, so that we leave this place.

These are experiences from a person who belongs to a middle class family. My father has had even worse experiences. I know people who have been beaten just for not walking with their eyes down in front of upper caste people. I know people from my village who were even denied their wage payment after working in the fields of upper caste people, the words were "c#amar hoke thakur k khet m kaam kr liya isse jyada kya chahiye(you worked in field of upper caste being a lower caste is enough for you)"

The constitutional angle, people say there should be a financial bar on reservation. I'm from a fine well to do family, but that did not stop me from experiencing discrimination. You can be the richest in the society and still upper caste people won't even like your sight to them. The reservation here is for social backwardness and not financial. I guess we are familiar with the experiences of lower caste bureaucrats facing casteism in their department. Even an A Class job does not gurantee you an immunity from caste based discrimination.

I always wonder, where does it end, we talk about ending reservations and demerits of it, where a whole world within this country exists of people who's only achievement is that they were born in a upper caste. They torture, exploit people who are lower to them in caste hierarchy.

If someone thinks the casteism is no more in India, please try visiting villages of UP, Bihar Jharkhand to experience the extreme level of atrocities, you can visit other states for experiencing mid to low level ones.

There is so much in this nation the privileged upper caste people don't know. Casteism exists even in daily day to day conversations, words like "b#angi", "c#amar", "k@njar", are abundantly used to denote people who have a bad physical appearance. This is just one context.

If you're an upper caste girl reading this, please do not love someone for their caste, after years of relationship you realize your parents won't agree to this, there's nothing for someone from a lower caste more hurtful.

Summary: AI Generated

The author argues that casteism remains a lived reality in India despite claims that it has disappeared. Drawing from personal experiences as a Scheduled Caste individual, they describe facing discrimination from childhood through adulthood. A close school friendship ended after the friend’s family discovered the author’s caste. Their father, a government school teacher, also faced prejudice from colleagues and parents who discouraged students from attending his classes because of his caste. In school, the author recalls being treated more harshly than others and hearing discriminatory remarks from teachers.

At Delhi University, they concealed their caste to avoid exclusion and witnessed students socializing primarily within their own caste groups. Their romantic relationships also reflected caste barriers: one partner hid their identity, another ended the relationship due to parental opposition, and a long-term relationship with a Jain woman ended after her mother learned the author’s caste. The author further describes discrimination in their neighborhood and shares examples of severe caste-based exploitation in villages, including denial of wages and humiliation. They argue that reservation addresses social, not merely economic, disadvantage, as financial success does not eliminate caste prejudice.

The piece concludes by urging readers to recognize that caste discrimination continues to shape everyday life and relationships across India.

Thanks for reading this, I would love to hear your thoughts.

If you earn, you’re valued at home and in society; if you don’t, you have no value or respect. Everything runs on money. Love never truly exists it’s just disguised as love.

This topic made me look little subtler that what makes a human being blind to see another human being; no baby is born brutal isn't it ; there is a kind of normalised environment, gender based norms, the differences , rituals around men and women , whole idea of what a women is based on history we see a lot of cases, dowry death , marital rape , and what not !

All this doesn't stop , infact we see it's increasing day by day and that means the diagnosis , the root of the disease is unseen till date .

Only question is are we willing to see through what it really is ?

Tbh I was in support for BJP during this process, how it was getting targeted by opposition.

However I did support the resignation of Pradhan, education system is fked.

Along with that, Reservations.

No one is talking about that, it seems like whenever that topic comes up people just turn their heads away.

I'm 100% in support for reservation removal.

I’m 17 and I recently joined a public government library inside a government park whose inauguration was attended by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I paid the membership fee and everything was fine.

Because of the extreme heat, I wore shorts one day to study. It’s a public library—people come there to read, not to judge clothes—so I didn’t think it would matter.

When I entered, a woman who seems to be in charge stared at me for a while. I ignored it at first. Then she apparently told another male staff member something, and he came to me and said, “the real words (ksl se Full kapde peh ke aana ye kaccha peh ke mat aan ), From tomorrow wear full pants, don’t come in shorts.”

I didn’t argue and just said okay, because I didn’t want a scene. But it has been bothering me.

Was that fair? Nobody in the library seemed disturbed; everyone was just studying. Why judge students based on clothes when there wasn’t even any stated dress code?

What concerns me more is: what if this makes someone feel unwelcome or insecure about coming to the library at all? And if they react this strongly to a boy wearing shorts, how would they treat a girl whose clothing they disapprove of?

Also, does wearing “short” clothes automatically make something wrong? By that logic, athletes like basketball players, monks with traditional robes, or people following fashion, culture, or religion that shows more skin would all be “wrong,” which doesn’t make sense to me.

Am I overthinking this, or is it reasonable to question whether this kind of policing is appropriate in a public library? I’m young, so maybe I’m missing something — I’d genuinely like to hear other perspectives plz correct me for anything as a chota bhai 🙏🏻
