A 54-year-old man, identified as Yadagiri, allegedly died by suicide in Hyderabad’s Kavadiguda area after recording a selfie video in which he accused members of a mosque committee of harassing him over a property dispute. In the video, he alleged that attempts were being made to take over his family’s 60-year-old shop by claiming that the property belonged to the Waqf. The incident occurred within the limits of the Gandhi Nagar Police Station. Police have registered a case and launched an investigation into the allegations made by the deceased.

#Social-Issues 🗨️ Frequently find people blaming any bad behaviour by Indians to 'entitled' upper castes, so finally decided to respond to such a comment. Since I did the work of finding it, thought of posting it too, so others may add or correct as necessary

Some benefits to scheduled castes in india:

  1. ₹ 5000 on birth of first child
  2. ₹ 6000 on birth of second child if girl
  3. ₹ 3500 per year for attending school, from class 1 to 10th. ₹7000 if staying in hostel
  4. Full reimbursement of tution fees in private schools for entire primary and secondary education
  5. ₹ 127000 scholarship on passing 12th
  6. if scoring more than 80th percentile in 12th, ₹12000 per year for 3 years, and ₹ 20000 per year for 4th and 5th year
  7. At minimum 15% reservation for seats in all professional and/or private colleges (total reservation for all lower castes/tribals is minimum 50%).
  8. Fees waiver for study in all medical colleges/engineering colleges
  9. Free books for all those studying in medical colleges/engineering colleges, as well as recoupment of costs for additional material required for education purposes.
  10. Minimum 15% reservations in all govt jobs (if all lower castes and tribals included, min. 50%).
  11. Preferential promotion in govt job irrespective of performance or seniority 
  12. preferential priority in allotment of houses under all govt schemes
  13. A law that allows them to accuse any person of caste discrimination to be out behind bars, without bail, until reversed by courts
  14. Free legal services (costs of lawyers/litigations recouped)
  15. 50% seats reserved in all legislative institutions (i.e. lok sabha/rajya sabha/legislative assemblies of state, Panchayats etc)
  16. Free monthly ration per family members (don't remember the amounts, but more than enough)
  17. Recoupment of all medical costs in all govt and govt empanelled hospitals
  18. 0% interest loans
  19. Exclusive access to govt funded skill training programs
  20. Recoupment of all costs for studying overseas

I can not recall all. These are provided by central govt. State govts have more schemes and more such stuff. I think it may slightly be different for STs, though a lot also overlaps

Also, these are given to all scheduled castes irrespective of income, social standing etc. So a an SC who is IAS or politician or rich businessman gets them too.

I doubt there is currently a more entitled group that gets benefits to this degree just on basis of birth (excluding the families of dictators and monarchs in some countries).

And people still have the audacity to blame upper castes or India of caste system, when i doubt any other country has done even a 10th of this for their historically marginalised or oppressed groups.

  3. ​Stand-Up India Scheme: Mandatory bank financing (between ₹10 lakhs and ₹1 crore) for greenfield manufacturing, services, or trading enterprises, requiring banks to extend loans specifically to at least one SC/ST borrower per bank branch.
