@CollectorCbe While we general public are ok with checking of vehicles, but behavior of police is the worst. Yesterday 15th April at 615 pm police near Saravanampatti police station, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu misbehaved and completely impolite. For politicians its different rule.

Is there evidence on discrimination for two thousand years by one caste against another caste?
Let us take the Brahmins as the oppressor caste and the Shudras as the oppressed caste.
Where is the data on social history for India?
There is no data. This is exactly why many popular caste narratives can neither be proven or dis-proven, as argued by noted academicians Sufiya Pathan and Dankin Jalki [1].
What about the Manu Samhita? Does it not discriminate against the Shudras and favour the Brahmins?
Let us investigate it.
A. Economic Opportunity: Under the Manu Samhita, the Brahmins are permitted to pursue no other occupation but study, teaching and performance of rituals. Even asking for money explicitly in lieu of teaching, was forbidden for them. [2]
The Brahmin cannot live simply anywhere, but only in some designated regions. A Brahmin who does not perform designated rituals daily in due times, or takes certain food, shall be expelled from the Brahmin jati. [3]
But a Shudra can pursue any profession, eat whatever he likes, live wherever he likes, and does not need to do any ritual every day. [4]
So who is being discriminated here, in the secular liberal sense of the word?
B. Crime and Punishment: For many crimes, Brahmins are supposed to face a higher penalty compared to the Shudras. . For theft, while a shudra shall pay 8-fold the stolen amount, however, a vaishya shall pay 16-fold, a kshatriya 32-fold, and a brahmana 64, 100 or even 128 fold. [5]
Again, who is being discriminated here?
C. High Positions: Shudras can very well be kings as per the Manu Samhita [6].
In any event, there is ample number of Shudra kings in Indian history [7].
I am never saying any absolute thing like there is no discrimination by any caste against another caste ever. but only adding that fairy tales should not be promoted as history.

@Stellantis I purchased a Jeep Compass in Coimbatore, India, with manufacturing defects. The company doesn't even has basic courtesy to respond and all discussions is through call centre, where they can't answer. Worst quality and poor customer oriented company.

@AshwiniVaishnaw I traveled by Vende Bharat today to Ernakulam and travel was excellent. But getting down at Ernakulam Jn is a nightmare and safety issue, irrespective of age you need to jump from the coach. It stopped in platform 4, unless IR wants to kill people.
A PRAYER FOR THE SOUL OF DIPU CHANDRA DAS
History remembers sacrifice. But today, the soil that was once liberated with Indian blood is being stained with the blood of innocent minorities.
In 1971, our Indian Armed Forces stood for the oppressed. Our brave soldiers didn’t just fight a war; they fought for the identity and dignity of millions of people of what is now called Bangladesh. Nearly 3,900 Indian soldiers sacrificed their lives and over 10,000 were injured to ensure the birth of Bangladesh. We gave our lives so that others could live in peace.
But today, “peace” is just a word; persecution is the reality. According to the Bangladesh Hindu Buddhist Christian Unity Council, 2,442 incidents of violence against minorities were documented between August 2024 and July 2025. Over 150 temples have been vandalized and desecrated. These are not just acts of unrest or random chaos; it is a deliberate, targeted strike at the heart of a community’s faith and its right to exist.
The pattern of targeting is clear and cruel - Last year, we saw the unjust jailing of the ISKCON monk Chinmoy Krishna Das and the brutal lynching of the Communist party leader Pradip Bhowmik. And now the horrific murder of Dipu Chandra Das in Mymensingh. This young man was not just killed; he was subjected to a level of savagery that shames the 21st century. Reports confirm he was lynched in public by a frenzied mob, his body was then hanged from a tree, and he was set on fire. To witness such a demonic act in broad daylight is a sign of a complete collapse of humanity and the rule of law. My heart goes out to the soul of Dipu Das. I pray for his peace and offer my deepest condolences to his grieving family, who have had to endure a loss so gruesome it is beyond comprehension.
The demographic reality of the region is a chilling testament to this ongoing tragedy. In 1951, Hindus made up 22% of the population. Today, that number has plummeted to below 8%. This isn't just migration; it is a systematic persecution that the world chooses to ignore.
I call upon the Leadership of Bangladesh to move beyond mere words of condemnation and restore stability. You must ensure the safety of every Hindu, Buddhist, and Christian citizen. The perpetrators of the Mymensingh horror must face the ultimate justice to show that no mob is above the law. I also urge World Leaders and the international community @UNHumanRights@UN to open their eyes to the plight of minorities in Bangladesh. Selective silence is a betrayal of human rights.
The blood of our 1971 martyrs was shed for a land of peace, not a land of persecution. We cannot, and will not, remain silent.

@ARanganathan72 The Supreme Court, its judges, and their privileges exist because the Hindu majority allows it. If Hindus collectively decide otherwise, the Court would cease to exist. It functions today because the majority of this nation is Hindu/Sanatan Dharma not the other way around.
