Some people say “I am not casteist, but caste-based reservations forced me to vote for a party that will eliminate them”.

Sir, don’t lie. You have always been a casteist. The current party just gave your hidden bigoted views an open platform.

Many Punjabis (even some urban dalits) claim casteism is not part of Sikh culture, but the open killing of Lakhbir Singh proves otherwise.
Although we now have a Dalit CM and every political party now is trying to woo dalits, any meaningful change for dalits is yet to come.

Dalit women are vulnerable to sexual exploitation at the hands of dominant caste zamindars, if they go to relieve themselves in the field or work in their houses. The saying in villages is — use an SC woman as ‘practice’ before you actually get married.

The crematoriums are segregated too. Jatts usually have large lands to cremate their dead, with their crematoria decorated in a beds of roses. The crematorium of the SCs doesn’t even have a motorable road, and stinks of dead rats with dogs scavenging about.

If a Dalit kid unknowingly steps into a gurdwara run by the upper castes, he/she is given prasad in a separate utensil, which is washed immediately.
They get to eat Langar only after the zamindars have eaten to their heart.

Caste segregation in gurdwaras…the bigger, sprawling grand gurdwaras belong to the Jatt Sikhs. In stark contrast are humble one-room Bhai Jeevan Singh Gurdwaras or Valmiki temples that look like in need of urgent repair — meant for the Valmikis and Mazhabis.

32% of Punjab’s population is Dalit. While the majority in the state practice Sikhism, this 1/3rd population is not allowed to take home Guru Granth Sahib if there’s a celebration or death in the house.

दलित युवक अनीश चौधरी से शादी करने वाली दीप्ति मिश्र की मां का कहना है- ऐसी लड़कियों को पढ़ाना-लिखाना तो दूर जन्म देना भी बेकार है. उसने मेरी कोख पर कालिख पोत दिया. पूरे परिवार और रिश्तेदारों को बदनाम और बर्बाद कर दिया है.

यहां जो दीप्ति की मां का कथन है वही भारतीय समाज का सच है!

Annihilation of #CasteSystem precedes elimination of #Reservations

Once social inequality ceases to exist and there’s equitable representation of the oppressed castes in the society, there will be no need for reservation.

Savarnas should drill this into their skull.

How are bahujan students supposed to survive in an academic environment where even professors are not safe from #casteism?

And if this is happening in a supposedly premier institute in India, what to expect from other institutions?
