When government officials promote caste hatred, it’s not just misconduct, it’s a deep-rooted systemic threat to safety and justice.

a user named Janakiraman (_updateslive_) mockingly commented “Wait, Mari Selvaraj will come there” with a smiley emoji.
Shockingly, he appears to be a TN Govt employee. such a comment exposes the deep-seated caste hatred and grudge against Dalits by this person.

[Deepesh Chithra @deepesh_vc]

We strictly condemn this inhumane and caste attitude. We urge @tnpoliceoffl& @CMOTamilnadu
to file an FIR under Sec 3(1)(r)(s)(u) of the SC/ST (PoA) Act and take departmental action as an immediate effect to ensure a safety and justice to Dalits in the state.

I came across a disturbing video allegedly from Tirunelveli by
@News18TamilNadu , showing a brutal act of violence. Though the video doesn’t mention the background of the incident, considering it was a caste based violence against Dalits.

Even in the digital space, caste silences voices. Dalit Ambedkarite @lakhshya_speaks’s Instagram was taken down after false copyright claims by pro-caste groups. This is not personal—it’s political. @metaindia, stand with anti-caste voices. Restore his account. #CasteInTech

I strongly condemn her uninclusive remarks. #InclusivityMatters

[Deepesh Chithra @deepesh_vc]

People can have different views & I appreciate diversity of thought. However, when a bureaucrat makes an uninclusive statement with illogical comparisons, it cannot be ignored. Now am doubtful of @SmitaSabharwal’s approach towards Persons with Disabilities.

[Smita Sabharwal @SmitaSabharwal]

As this debate is blowing up-

With all due respect to the Differently Abled. 🫡
Does an Airline hire a pilot with disability? Or would you trust a surgeon with a disability.

The nature of the #AIS ( IAS/IPS/IFoS) is field-work, long taxing hours, listening first hand to people’s grievances-which requires physical fitness.

Why does this premier service need this Quota in the first place!

[Deepesh Chithra @deepesh_vc]

Continuing the controversy of NEET exam,there is another scandal on the UGC NET. NTA cancels recent exam. It indicates the inability of NTA and leads to loss of credibility. NTA should understand the hard work and efforts of students.

Do not play trial games with us. #NTA_fails
