#DivyaSchool “Revolution in the Indian context is the destruction of the caste order, which is incompatible with any notion of “azadi”, “viduthalai”, or “freedom”.”

#DivyaSchool “The caste order which conserves itself through miscegenation rules and untouchability practices is both the means and end. The caste order observes itself as the means in order to repeat itself as the end.”

#DivyaSchool “There is no such thing as a ‘Hindu majority’. The “Hindu majority” was invented in 20th century to suppress the fact that the UC are not more than 10% of the population while the ‘lower’ castes are 90% and are #TheRealMajority of India.”

“Everybody has been part of this consensus where the only fight in which one can take positions is that between Hinduism and Hindutva or an Indian secularism versus a kind of more rabid nationalism or ultra-nationalism.”

#DivyaSchool “The ability to live without dependency on either the truths of the hoax or the hoax of truth was called the maturity of mankind, or enlightenment.” #DivyaQuotes

#DivyaSchool “Revolution is the modern theatre of politics where a cut with the past is made in a single event. Hence, modernity was also obsessed with scientific, literary and philosophical revolutions.”

#DivyaSchool “This post mortem freedom that cannot be experienced in these mortal moments is believed to accrue to us in proportion to our obedience to caste laws.” #DivyaQuotes

#DivyaQuotes The Hindu religion has been used to suppress and control the political aspiration of the oppressed castes, who were slipped into the Hindu religious category in the last century without consultation.

#DivyaQuotes “being a philosopher in India is finding the means to displace the oppressive weight of the caste order that still arranges all social life here”.

#DivyaQuotes 3 “In India, the majority population of all faiths is made up of lower castes and Dalits, and both women and men, and even trans and queer communities, stigmatized by these social identities, suffer from systemic exclusion from academic, economic and media spheres.”
#DivyaQuotes “gender parity is now easily recognized. What worries me much more is understanding why it is still difficult to achieve the same recognition of racialized and caste-based inequalities all over the world.”
[in French, Google’s translation]

#DivyaQuotes 2 “These inequalities are among the most important obstacles preventing a large part of women around the world from achieving equality of opportunity and dignity.”
