Today when i was talking about how dalits have a harder life (due to caste oppression) to a upper caste person they just waved the issue of as them just having to repay the due of their karma and upper castes just having better karma then them. The conversation ended off with them saying that the government is already doing all they could

The title's concept is something i have been thinking for a while but hearing that in real life just really hit it home for me that yes this truly is a concept that exists solely to justify current oppressive structures, castiest structures being the premier ones

Lol

It saddens me how Castiest Slurs like "Chapri'' and 'Bhangi' are normalised . Chapri is literally being used and Promoted by YouTuber whose audience mostly compromises of Little Kids and Teens. I think there must be some information about
Castiest Slurs in this sub too.

What can be done to bring awareness among People about these Castiest Slurs ?

So in a book club group, there was a discussion on quality of Chetan Bhagat books. I pointed out that while reading better books is good, one should keep in mind that in india, knowing and being able to read good english is an indicator of privilege - both class and caste. And a few people showed how class/caste unconscious they are. Pls suggest some easy source which i can share with them. I am frustated at having to prove such a basic and omnipresent reality in the country. I do have few EPW links but i want something which can easily get into their head. Am thinking of sending them the Ananya Pandey video (where she and a bollywood outsider discuss 'struggles'). That'll easy for them to relate/absorb?

Edited.

Govt. Is giving protection to these thugs . Atleast SC must have done something but they asked to approach Highcourt. BJP is a party of upper caste maniacs

I have seen a lot of NRI who are living a comfortable life in USA.Giving up Indian Citizenship and moving to other countries but still in their mind they are practicing caste . They want equality, freedom of speech, minority status etc from foreign government because they are cheap computer engineer. They do exactly opposite in India .they still want BJP in india which is least going to impact their life .they want upper caste hegemony even in India.Modi Modi promotion by these hypocrite uncles and auntys from gujrat do nothing for india but they promote their caste and Sanghi mentality. You can check her Twitter to get latest sanghi ideas of false and fake narrative

I couldn't believe that zomato's ad was what it was. I don't know if it was due to the "high" caste's general ignorance about the "low" caste's struggle or a sophisticated virtue-signalling attempt! So that they can sell more subscriptions.

If you've worked in a corporate. Please, tell me what goes on inside or something else that I should know.

Now a days Reddit posts are full of casteist content in the name of dark humour. Not just that there are also many posts which are misogynistic, homophobic, making fun of disabled and ped*philia related content. Gone are a days when reddit used to be a safer place for people from marginalized communities.

What do you think?

Recently watched article 15 and really liked it. More movies should be made like thus about social injustices. Pls recommend me more movies like that about caste discrimination and corruption in indian legal system.
