I feel its time to clarify about myself to you folks as my caste identity has been mistaken, this is partly on me as I hadn't disclosed it before.

I am the son of a migrant from Bangladesh who with family migrated to India due to communal riots though this didn't turn him into a communal hater.
Maybe because he was a staunch communist (Though not me).

However, over the years I felt down to the social justice movement more than any other.

Babasaheb Ambedkar's 'Annihilation of Caste' was the first read that shook me so hard it completely changed the way I looked at the society before. He is the one central to all my thought process. I strongly believe the social justice movement must be lead by the people of the community that has been Historically oppressed, discriminated. An upper-caste person might support the voice, might help amplifying the voice but has no right to lead the voice. Period.

As for Reservation I could never be agreed with the upper-caste perspective. As of 'RESERVATION' it was never a poverty eradication programme but one of the three sets of policies complimenting each other for the Scheduled Castes, the list of the discriminated groups determined by economic and social realities BOTH.

The Lists of SCs and STs came into existence as a result of the Govt of India Act, 1935. The same list was adopted through the Constitution (Scheduled Castes) Order, 1950, issued by the president under Article 341. It has been amended only once, in the 1990s, to include Buddhist Dalit.

Again I'm driving away from the subject of my Tweet. So, returning back.

Ambedkar's writing inspired me over the years. They nurtured my aversion towards the 'Chatur Varna' the scaffolding of the Hindu religion that upholds 'Caste' the multi headed Hydra.

What good is the great philosophy for that "does not return to the society as instruments for reconstructing society?" This Ambedkar cited in both Riddles of Hinduism and Annihilation of Caste.
This one question that made me think over the years. My response to this would be revealed at proper time. Not today as the subject is different.

When I started in this platform in 2022 I didn't use my surname as it gave me the sense of freedom from my Caste Identity. I didn't think about it too much then as I never thought I will have even 1K followers ever.

But over the time my followers increased, it is all due to your support and guidance, I can't deny the truth. But as many of my Ambedkarite friends here have started believing me a 'DALIT' perhaps because of my thought process....... Now if I don't disclose my identity it would be treacherous, a fraud with all.

I'm not a Dalit or even from the OBC caste. I'm a son of a Brahmin so I am a Brahmin by Birth who detest the so-called sacred thread.

I apologize for any confusion my silence may have caused. If anyone feel that I have done a fraud or misled her/him please block/abuse do whatever you want, I only seek my apology to you. If I remained silent further it would be a great fraud.

I'm doing this only because many of my Ambedkarite friends here have started believing Im a DALIT that Im not.

Please consider that I don't earn a single penny from here as my monetization was suspended by X in month May. I don't know the reason behind that and I tweeted this before also. I only tweet what I believe should be tweeted without any personal motive.

As I have said before, again repeating the social justice movement in India only to be led by a person from the Historically discriminated groups. Not a person like me who born in an upper-caste.
I stand only as an ally, a supporter. Rest upon you. Treat me the way you think I deserve. 🙏🏾

CJP is constantly driven by the idea of Caste blind solidarity to draw students across social spectrums,relieving them to reckon with Caste which is nothing but wilful non recognition of lived realities. Their politics of neutrality will alienate India's majority of youth that they claim to represent!!

This is how we got the "Scheduled Areas" and "exclusions" to protect us

Jaipal Singh Munda always called him the "real Pilot of rhe Constitution"

[RAHUL @RahulSeeker]

@vishalmmotwani No issue is about Dalit vs Brahman or Kshtriya vs Sudra but about the authority of Brahminism and the notion of contempt that follows.

[RAHUL @RahulSeeker]

The whole country has formed an alliance with the argument that Sahil was a cheater and so, prof Doolla is innocent - does this even make any sense?

It does, only if one observes the contempt for Sahil flourishing through solidarity with Doolla in FB posts, reels, sentences, words.

Before any investigation is even being conducted and concluded, this Brahminical society has come together keeping aside all their ideological differences in solidarity for the accused professor. The professor has already been declared the real victim now. Who is the accused then?
Sahil? Reservation? SC/ST Act? Or all of them together?

They simply ignore Sahil's parent's complaints, they ignore the allegations by students that this professor is a serial bully - just ignore all.

Hence, again proved even 79 years after independence, this evil power of Brahminism has not been decimated at all, but has moulded itself to modern world accordingly. And as long as this Brahminsm strives the notion caste will always superclsede the notion of Justice.

What if Sahil had been a Savarna student and the Professor were a Dalit?

Over 91% of IIT Bombay’s faculty belongs to upper(ed) castes.

@rajah_d_great Just like after Rohith's death started debate that he wasn't Dalit either

[surajyengde @surajyengde]

a faculty member at @iitbombay professor @Suryakant_Waghm is being censored. please note he is the only voice of dissent and reason among the cacophonous crowd of vigilantes cosplaying as professors on the powai campus.

[Sanghamitra Bandyopadhyay @SanghamitraLIVE]

Cultural imperialism takes over West Bengal as 6 arrested at Kasba’s Acropolis Mall for harassing women inside a multiplex, spitting gutkha-infused water, hurling abuse and threatening patrons during a night show. Public safety in movie halls are severely compromised too.

* Supersede - typo

[RAHUL @RahulSeeker]

@muralitwit Exactly

[RAHUL @RahulSeeker]

In 2016 after Rohith Vemula's death the investigation was shifted from who forced him to end his life to whether Rohith was a Dalit or not, which he was.

Ten yrs later nothing changed. As Babasaheb said this rightly - "A Hindu’s public is his caste.
His responsibility is only to his caste. His loyalty is restricted only to his caste....

A Brahmin will follow a leader only if he is a Brahmin, A Kayastha if he is a Kayastha, and so on.

The capacity to appreciate merits in a man apart from his caste does not exist in a Hindu. There is appreciation of virtue but only when the man is a fellow caste-man.

The whole morality is as bad as tribal morality. My caste-man, right or wrong; my caste-man, good or bad."

Ten yrs later after Rohith death Sahil's case in IIT Bombay says the exact same - the matter shifted from whether he was victim of casteism to whether he cheated in the exam.

The whole Savarna ecosystem and some elite, privileged Muslims, irrespective of ideology have united and declared that professor innocent. So pathetic!

Even, I repeat even if Sahil had cheated in the exam, does that squash his chances of becoming the victim of a casteism?

Justice for Rohith remains in peril even after 10yrs. What about Sahil?

[RAHUL @RahulSeeker]

@yeshop1 Seriously? That's your understanding?

[RAHUL @RahulSeeker]

1. She indeed stands with casteist predators.

2. She belongs to Mappila community, one of the most influential groups in Keralam. Historically shaped by Arabo-Malayli interaction, that followed a very closed association with Nairs.

3. Number 2 point clarifies both : the reason behind her stand with casteist brigade and also that her last sentence is entirely false. Indian Muslims were never a homogenous group.

कड़वा सच तो ये है कि @INCIndia के कुछ अपने ही ओहदेदार इस क़िस्म के ग़ैर-सियासी और बेतुके बयानों से पार्टी के वजूद को हल्का करते हैं। 2025 में जुबिली हिल्स Assembly Constituency में @aimim_national ने खुल के कांग्रेस उम्मीदवार की ज़मनी-इंतिखाब में हिमायत की।

ख़ुद @ShayarImran के महाराष्ट्र से लड़े गए राज्य-सभा इलेक्शन में भी मजलिस के 2 MLA वोट MVA Alliance कैंडिडेट (इमरान) को गय थे। तेलंगाना में @revanth_anumula की मौजूदा हुकूमत को भी AIMIM का सपोर्ट हासिल है। @asadowaisi का सियासी वजूद इन साहब के पैदा होने के पहले से क़ायम है, इस लिए सियासी गुफ़्तगू के ताल्लुक़ से ज़बान में थोड़ा ठहराव लाना भी लाज़मी है।

क्या कल अगर जयंत चौधरी या किसी और क़ौमी या रीजनल हिज़ब के सदर कांग्रेस की तरफ़ हाथ बढ़ाते हैं तो उनसे भी इस तक़ब्बुर या ग़रूर से पेश आने की जुर्रत है प्रतापगढ़ी साहब को?

भले ही हम AIMIM से अलग वजूहात के चलते मुआहिदे पे राज़ी ना हों वोह एक सियासी पहलू हो सकता है, मगर इस क़िस्म की फ़िज़ूल बातों से कांग्रेस को दूरी बनानी होगी।
मैं ये बात सोच समझ कर, 1999 से पार्टी का Primary Member होने, AICC के ‘नीति-निर्धारण और समन्वय विभाग’ का पूर्व सदस्य, पूर्व UPCC मेम्बर और UPCC के ‘नीति-निर्धारण विभाग’ का पूर्व चेयरमैन होने की हैसियत से तो कह ही रहा हूँ, पार्टी के 9 बार वोटर होने के नाते से भी यह कहना मेरा हक़ है।

[RAHUL @RahulSeeker]

@suja_saikia Plz agree to disagree. In India all Muslims aren't classified as Muslim only. There are classifications, even in terms of caste made 95 years ago. What you are talking is a popular perception on sm and by that logic in India even Hindus are classified as Hindus only.

[RAHUL @RahulSeeker]

@gorwelliano @RahulGandhi @kharge Never trust any but self - old saying

[Suraj Kumar Bauddh @SurajKrBauddh]

Mallikarjun Kharge belongs to SC community. He is the national president of Congress.

Rajendra Pal Gautam is also an SC. He is the national chairman of SC Dept, Congress.

Then how can Shama Mohamed spew hate against IIT Bombay student Sahil Wakode and support the casteist predators responsible for his institutional murder while being a national spokesperson of the Congress party?

Mallikarjun Kharge and Rajendra Pal Gautam must condemn this and ensure her exit from the party without any delay. Otherwise, it sends a direct message to public that Dalit leaders have no power or respect in the Congress.
