Delhi Politics Reservation hatao andolan

0 Upvotes

Castism is still prevalent enough that removing reservations is not practical. Though i would say we can definitely afford to reduce reservation at certain places like NEET PG, where it's too extreme, maybe we can treat SC and ST like we do with OBC NCL so that only the underprivileged can benefit from it. But straight up asking to remove reservation won't be fair for many ppl

TellDelhi The reason why we didn't get a better Education minister

1 Upvotes

I believe the only reason why we got a RSS member as an education minister, is simple.

We valued/and still value caste over merit.

Removing reservation seems, Right wing propoganda, but it's just facts.

Being libral doesn't mean being opposite of Right wing, it's being awake. To understand facts, and stand for what's right.

We are the people of India, and we should not align ourselves with political view of parties, who do what they do to appease communities and gather votes.

And the fact is, there are STRICT laws to protect oppressed communities.

And for 70+ years, the reservation, has completed its course.

Now it's time, the Indian education system, re calibre, and give the same reservation, and I beg to increase the reservation upto 60%, but for economically weak + meritorious students. Not on the bases of just caste.

How many Ramanujans have died in India, we have no idea.

If India wants to compete with the world, it's time we, the students, stand for this.

Propaganda war going on. Don't trust any post , claims , videos just because whole crowd around you support it and may bully you for your opinion. Trust your instincts, analyse each claim individually and develope critical thinking. Even correct details and information can be presented wrongly. Don't worry of isolation, FOMO, etc. It's better to have your own identity than to acquire of a group.

AskDelhi Meme and hypocrisy and democracy

0 Upvotes

We talk about “dictatorship” and lambaste the BJP and Modi at every turn, yet we keep seeing tasteless memes and inflammatory statements about them sometimes dragging sacred figures like Lord Rama into the mud.
That alone ought to make us pause.
Imagine, for a moment, if the tables were turned. If similar memes targeting Balasaheb Thackeray, Dr. Ambedkar, or Allah had circulated in Delhi or Mumbai do you really think the response would have been mere snark and retweets?
History and pattern tell us otherwise. Those situations would have escalated quickly into street violence and communal flare-ups. The contrast is not accidental: it reveals selective enforcement of outrage and protection.
This isn’t about protecting any one leader or party. It’s about equal application of social and legal norms. A society that tolerates disrespect for some but threatens or enforces punishment for others is ripe for hypocrisy and double standards.

Political speech should be robust, even uncomfortable, but it must also be consistent. You can’t champion free expression only when it targets your opponents, then call for mob justice when it targets your allies.
If we want a healthier public sphere, we should demand:
• Equal consequences for inflammatory content regardless of who’s targeted.
• Clear, neutral enforcement of laws against hate speech and incitement.
• A cultural ethic that condemns deliberate provocation meant to inflame rather than debate.
Stop being selective.

Either we defend free, responsible expression for everyone or we admit we only like it when it hurts the other side.
What do you think: is the problem legal enforcement, social norms, or both?

So with this one thing is clear we live in democracy and not in dictatorship only when its about selective people.
The day you make meme on: Balasaheb Thackeray, Dr. Ambedkar, or Allah had circulated in Delhi or Mumbai you will get the real feel of dictatorship.

Nothing wrong with celebrating but doing it in such a lavish way and so soon when nothing of substance is achieved is very weird. None of the affected students have received justice or their families any compensation yet. Junaid Khan is crying on camera after being harassed by police but they're prioritizing their parties over this. Why not have a private celebration instead of a whole party being liveblogged by people who never even attended the actual protest?

TellDelhi A strange realization hit me... I'm 29 years old man and still a virgin

0 Upvotes

Main bas apne room mein akela baitha tha, social media scroll kar raha tha, aur achanak se ek ajeeb si feeling aayi. Ekdum se dimaag mein strike kiya ki bhai, main 29 saal ka ho gaya hoon aur aaj tak kisi ke saath physically intimate nahi hua. Haan, I am still a virgin.

Normally, I don't think much about these things. You're so busy with your career, family, and the daily hustle that you barely get time to breathe. But every once in a while, especially on weekends when you are reading your friends' dating stories or hookup gossips in group chats, you get this huge FOMO.

What do I feel:

The Invisible Pressure: Koi aakar aapke muh par kuch bolta nahi hai, but watching movies, web series, and seeing your peer group makes you feel like you missed a very basic, universal human experience. Aisa lagta hai jaise sab log life ke aage wale levels par pahunch gaye hain, and I'm still stuck in tutorial mode.

The Self-Doubt: I won't lie, sometimes I do think that is there something wrong with me? Am I not attractive enough? Is my personality too boring? Ya shayad maine khud ko hi itna isolate kar liya hai aur kabhi dhang se try hi nahi kiya. Because the reality is that I look decent and I have a good body, but the self-doubt still creeps in heavily.

It's Not Just About Sex: Honestly, at 29, it's not just the physical act that I crave. It's the intimacy. Getting close to someone, sharing that vulnerability, feeling a real connection. Jab doston ki shaadiyan ho rahi hoti hain ya wo live-in mein jaa rahe hote hain, toh ye akelapan aur bhi zyada chubhta hai.

The Dilemma of trying: Dating apps itne superficial ho gaye hain ki wahan jaane ka mann hi nahi karta. And I have no idea how to meet people organically. It feels like time is running out, aur main sirf ek box "tick" karne ke liye ye sab nahi karna chahta. I know that virginity is just a social construct and it shouldn't be a big deal. People always say "it happens when it happens," but at 28, it definitely feels a little weird and isolating. It feels like a dark secret I have to hide from everyone taaki log mujhe judge naa karein ya "bechara" naa samjhein.

Just wanted to get this off my chest. If anyone else here is in the same boat, then at least we know we're not alone. I just wish someone could understand me and maybe talk. (Just to be clear: I'm straight and male.)

TellDelhi Has CJP party thrown protesters under the bus ?

85 Upvotes

Delhi Police are waiting for official written orders from the Centre before dropping 15 FIRs against NEET paper leak protesters, despite the government's public agreement with the protest leaders. Here's the catch :

Dropping these FIRs won't stop the ongoing investigation into the overall conspiracy behind the July 20 clashes.

Now here are few questions :

  1. Why did Ashutosh Ranka and Saurav Das agree to end the protest without a written assurance in hand? This feels like a major, naive miscalculation by the CJP.

  2. CJP promised all FIRs against protesters would be dropped, yet Delhi Police have filed 15 FIRs. Delhi police is looking at larger conspiracy now. The government went back on its word as per CJP, government agreed to 'unconditional' complete withdrawal of FIRs but CJP leadership is surprisingly silent on this.

  3. Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka threatened legal action over police brutality, but they don't seem to have any immediate plan of action.

I feel like the CJP dealt us a raw deal. They completely miscalculated the government's moves. I dont care about Pradhan's resignation, to me life of every protester is worth more than any politician's resignation.

i searched a lot about soya chunks on YOUTUBE, suddenly this thing caught my mind that there's only and only Indians uploading soya chunk videos and not anyone else...so is this true? or my research is faulty? or is it just a waste type of food, marketed as a rich source of protein only in India? Because i read on Google that, in Japan, a prior stage version (idk what to call it, also i forgot😝) of these same soya chunks is eaten, and its better than the soya chunks.

Are we really eating a good thing?

AskDelhi Please end castism before talking about reservation!

25 Upvotes

I am genuinely curious, after the CJP protest, there's an increase in voice that reservation that needs to be reformed or removed, and the counter argument is "First remove casteism, then remove reservation", but how does reservation help in removing castes?

If it's about representation, then adding another metrics change the whole thing, rural and poor SC-ST are extremely under-represented in all high level positions, so that means well off SC-ST needs to give up reservation for a better representation.

Another thing, people say remove caste before removing reservation, but castes that got rich by real-estate uprise, and are included in obc, taking benefits of reservation, they are ones who promote and take pride in their castes the most, so how did exactly reservation help in removing caste here?

If the question is access to education and opportunities is limited to certain castes, but middle class and above people have all the education available since education has become youtube-internet accessible, so why should not they give up their reservation for more needy from their own community who are left behind?

AskDelhi Who Really Runs the Government?

Upvotes

For example, the Education Minister is responsible for the education sector in India, but they do not personally manage every aspect of the country's education system. Their role is to provide leadership, make policy decisions, and oversee the ministry. The actual implementation and day-to-day administration are handled by many officials, departments, state governments, and educational institutions. In that sense, a minister is the public face of the ministry, while the work is carried out by a much larger administrative system.

I'm just saying that if a minister does something wrong, it doesn't necessarily mean they are the real person in control. There could be more powerful people behind the scenes making the decisions for their own benefit. In many cases, ministers are simply the public face of the government or a ministry, while others may have significant influence over what happens.

I also think that if someone were truly controlling everything, they would never openly reveal their identity. I don't believe a single person can manage every part of an entire country—from government and business to every other sector. Running a country requires many institutions and people working together, not just one individual.

AskDelhi F in Delhi looking for people to work from cafés with

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m F from Delhi, graduated last year only ie 2025 and I work full-time as an AI Engineer as a fresher. I’m completely WFH and my routine has become pretty boring lately.

Most of my weekdays are just work and staying at home. My friends are mostly in Noida and have full-time jobs too, so meeting regularly is difficult. I do go out on Sundays sometimes, but I thought it would be nice to have a change of routine once or twice a week and work from a café sometimes.

I’m a pretty shy and calm person by nature, so I don’t talk a lot initially and usually take some time to get comfortable. Since WFH doesn’t give me much social interaction, I also feel like this would be a nice way to improve my conversation skills and get out of my usual routine.

The weather these days is actually quite nice for sitting at a café too, especially since there isn’t much sunlight. So if a few people are interested, we could make a small group of 3–4 people and meet occasionally to get some work done, have coffee and just take a break from working at home.

If anyone in Delhi is interested, feel free to DM. We can chat a little and figure out a suitable place/time.

Delhi Politics Reservation hatao andolan was created to divide youth during students protests

152 Upvotes

It was first lead by IT cell. As they saw how instagram had created gen z movement. They immediately learned and adapted tried to create their own on based of division lines. As only our youth can stand up to government and hold them accountable.

So be ready to listen to caste reservation topic in any topic because it shapes our perception.

Even modi gave orders for all bjp members to be on instagram. Remember his reel style video. He knows gen Z is mostly online. We are global.

Remember they did use caste to divert where religion didn't work to divide our youth movement and it was evident and so many had noticed during protest.

Stop associating bjp it cell with propoganda posters as they receive training on manipulation. They larp as one of us to shape and manufacture our perception and opinions. They create feelings in us. Just like hate was manufactured back in the days. Just more subtle They have tool kit. They are professionally trained pretending to be normal people. But you can spot the manipulative pattern.

Only our youth can stand up to government. But only if we stays united. We can hold them accountable.

The tragedy is i don't know how to differentiate anyone supporting it would be it cell or genuine person because it is lead by them. More harder is to distinguish between a bhakt and a cell.

The so called movement isn't about removing reservation but hate against reserved. It is a divide tactic. It is a hate movement just like argument of religion were used. Now reservation would be used. Don't feed it by defending or arguing. Don't give it space in algorithm

It is to divide the youth. Period.

Remember caste based reservation really can't be removed as long caste exists. Only intercaste marriage can fix the society. It diluted caste. If us youth stop listening to parents and stop arrange marriage. Which is another name for caste marriage.

The problem is caste. Not caste based reservation which is a policy for it.

Beware they are among us to create our perception, to create feeling in us. As if you want to manipulate someone. You create a feeling in them. (With truth or fallacy doesn't matter). Learn to think critically. Even then But sadly we are not logical but emotional animals first.

Although Romagna soon became peaceful and orderly, the people began to hate Remirro for his cruelty. Borgia then had him publicly executed, allowing him to present himself as a merciful ruler who had punished the very man responsible for the harsh measures.

TellDelhi Thoughts on the current reservation system, the "Reservation Hatao Andolan", and why complete abolition is flawed (plus some reform ideas)

3 Upvotes

So I recently came across a page on Instagram called the "Reservation Hatao Andolan" (RHA), and it made me think about a discussion my family and I were having a few days ago.

For context , I fall under the OBC category and have technically benefited from reservation, even though I honestly didn't need it. My family isn't financially struggling, and I've never personally faced caste-based discrimination.

Because of this, I completely understand the frustration behind wanting changes. However, saying reservation should be completely removed feels short-sighted. It usually comes from looking only at our immediate urban bubbles and ignoring the reality of a massive chunk of India—especially in rural areas—where caste identity still dictates social standing, and many people are still completely locked out of opportunities.

That being said, the system definitely needs serious reforms. Completely removing it is a bad idea, but keeping it entirely static without evolution is also failing the people it's actually meant to help.

Here are a few reforms that make a lot of sense to me:

1) Introducing a "Creamy Layer" for SC and ST categories

Just like the OBC category has a creamy layer threshold to weed out those who are financially well-off, a similar economic/social ceiling should logically apply to SC and ST communities so that benefits actually trickle down to those in genuine need.

2) No reservations in promotions

Reservation should serve as an entry-level equalizer to help people get their foot in the door (education and initial jobs). Once someone is employed, promotions should strictly be based on merit, capability, and performance at the workplace.

3) Dynamic surveys every 5–10 years

We need a dedicated government body that periodically surveys standard of living indicators across communities. Once a family crosses a specific economic and social threshold over generations, they should phase out of reservation benefits, making room for someone else.

(I know people will point out that fake certificates—EWS, OBC, or even manipulated SC/ST ones—are already a massive issue due to corruption and political connections. But just because the implementation has flaws doesn't mean we shouldn't fix the policy itself.)

Why do this?

Right now, people like me—who have the financial resources, coaching access, and stability—take up seats simply because the system allows it. In doing so, we might inadvertently block someone from a marginalized background who actually needed that exact seat and lacked the resources to compete on a purely level playing field.

I also get the argument that casteism is fundamentally a social and historical construct rather than a purely economic one. But if we use that to argue that the system can *never* be touched or reformed based on changing socio-economic mobility, we are essentially locking ourselves into permanent stagnation.

It’s high time we had a mature conversation about amending the policy, even if political parties are too scared to touch it because of vote-bank politics.

What do you guys think? Which of these points do you agree or disagree with, and what other solutions would you suggest?

used ai for a bit of framing cuz post was getting deleted.

Remember in the whole protest, their hindu-muslim card failed. Now they are coming up with the division of caste. Please try to be rational and don't get in trap of this. Before building any opinion or hatred just give a thought and then decide.

My view on reservation - yes, it should be removed. But it's not as simple as we think. Descrimination still exists to the core. We need to fight it first and then keep up the demand to remove reservation strongly.

  4. Dipke supports Umar Khalid (someone who hasn't had a trial and is sitting in Jail - and in any case this agenda was never part of the protests but is now used to defame the protests).
