@mnximenon That's precisely why reservations exist .not to punish upper castes for ancestors' actions, but to correct the INHERITED ADVANTAGES that upper castes still carry from centuries of exclusive access to education, wealth and opportunity
@mnximenon Chandala kidsinherited poverty, exclusion and discr.Brahmin children inherited templerights,education access ,social prestige.Bothinherited their parents https://t.co/MycmZHRqre just arguedagainstcaste inheritance .which means you just argued FOR affirmative action to correct it
@mnximenon Correct.they weren't locked up. They were:
•Banned from wells
.Banned from temples
Banned from roads
Banned from education
Forced into hereditary occupations
Prison locks your body.Caste locked your entire life,your children's lives and their children'slives.Which is worse
@mnximenon Don’t change the goalpost now.. So wicked people are in not in Bhramin community? Why those were not made untouchables? Yaaru kitta kadha odurenga?
@mnximenon Thank you for posting actual Fa Hien text.because it destroys yourown argument.The footnote in YOUR image literally saysChandalasare 'the lowest and most despised CASTE of India.' I just proved again madam
@mnximenon Yes,Medieval Europe had brutal discrimination. And guess what? They ACKNOWLEDGED it, REFORMED it and moved on. That's exactly what Periyar was asking India to do with caste. The comparison actually proves Periyar's point,not yours
@mnximenon Thank you for posting actual Fa Hien text.because itDESTROYS yourown argument.The footnote in YOUR image literally saysChandalasare 'the lowest and most despised CASTE of India.' The word CASTE appears in the translation you just shared. you can’t do wordplay and get away with me
@mnximenon You're arguing about word labels while ignoring the DOCUMENTED REALITY those words describe. Calling it a 'group' instead of 'caste' doesn't change the fact they were hereditary, segregated and excluded..
@polimernews 13 channels.looks like huge money is being spent by these guys to malign that IAS.Last week it was projected as if it was a sexual harass and today fullychanges to sending MgR songs and that’s harassment.The way theywerewaiting and then got the queue to walk slowly tells a script
@mnximenon@saivamtamil I didn't change goalposts .I followed YOURS. Let me recap your own arguments in order:
Missionaries invented caste-DISPROVED
No pre-Abrahamic evidence-DISPROVED
Segregation not oppression-DISPROVED
Chandalas were criminals-DISPROVED
Caste prevented conversion-DISPROVED
@mnximenon@saivamtamil Lower caste teachers appeared in 1820s because:1813 Charter Act forced open education in India.Christian missionaries started schools open toall castes— not proof that traditional system was equal. Before 1813 — show me lower caste Vedic teachers. You can't.
@mnximenon@saivamtamil Teachers from various castes in 1825 data actually proves the oppositeof what you think it proves traditional Brahmin monopoly on education was alreadybeing broken by British era reforms.diversity you're celebrating is the RESULT of reformnot proof that oppression never existed.
@mnximenon@saivamtamil One Dalit needing a king's special help to study abroad PROVES the system was closed for certain castes not open. Exceptions prove the rule. If education was freely available to all castes — why did Ambedkar need special royal sponsorship? Answer that???
@mnximenon I have proved clearly beyond reasonable doubt that caste based descrimination was rampant in ancient Hindu and who was responsible for it… u can’t change history.. India was a hellhole at that time beacuse of caste and its oppression… U can’t defend the undefended
@mnximenon@saivamtamil You've gone from 'missionaries invented caste' to showing 1820s British data. Your own timeline proves our point…it took BRITISH INTERVENTION to open education to all castes. That's not a defence of the caste system — that's an indictment of it.
@mnximenon@saivamtamil 1820s data proves nothing about ancient caste oppression ..that's after British reforms already began changing Indian society. You're using post-reform data to disprove pre-reform oppression. That's like using 1970s USA data to say slavery never existed
@mnximenon Xavier saying 'Brahmins stoppedconversion' actually proves caste was the BARRIERnot the protector. Lower castes WERE converting to escape caste. Xaviletters describe Dalit and lower caste mass conversions in coastal Tamil Nadu. Brahmins stopped THEIR OWN conversion not everyone's
