ब्राह्मणों का पढ़ाई-लिखाई पर सौ प्रतिशत आरक्षण था?
कुछ लोगों का कहना है भारत में सारी पढ़ाई-लिखाई पर ब्राह्मणों का सौ प्रतिशत आरक्षण था। क्या यह सच है? आइए जानते हैं।
इलाहाबाद हाई कोर्ट ने "Adequate representation" की परिभाषा तय की थी:
"कोई भी जाति की जनसंख्या का आधा प्रतिनिधित्व adequate माना जायेगा"
यानी जिस जाति की संख्या 2% है, नौकरियों में उनका 1% प्रतिनिधित्व adequate है!
मतलब अब वो सारी जातियाँ जो अपनी आबादी के आधे से ज़्यादा प्रतिनिधित्व ले चुकी हैं, अब उनको आरक्षण से तुरंत बाहर करना चाहिए, क्योंकि वो आर्टिकल 16-4 का criteria fulfil नहीं करतीं!

Debunking the following fake historical oppression stories: A master 🧵

Big Thanks to all who contributed to debunking all these claims🙏
Save this 🧵 for future references.
If we go by the statistics reported by a Missionary employed by the Colonial British administration - who himself had a vested interest in showing Hindus as casteist - the surveys are startlingly contradictory to the myths we have been taught. Remember this was in the 1830s before the Brits took over and administered education - so it was all purely native Hindus who were managing the educational institutions without any external pressure.
This obviously indicates that our home grown educational systems at that time were not based on rigid casteism or gatekeeping.
None of these claims are true.
You said
1. “All were not getting the same education.”
This is not true - Adam’s reports show that most of the native schools taught reading, writing, and arithmetic. The curriculum varied by region and occupation. Adam does not report any systematic rule saying that Brahmins barred certain castes from learning particular subjects within the native vernacular schools that he surveyed.
Data does not show explicit caste-based curriculum prohibition in those districts.
2. “They were learning caste-wise.”
There is NO evidence in Adam’s data that classrooms were segregated strictly by caste. In fact, he explicitly points out mixed enrollment. He also records parents of “good caste” sending their children to lower caste teachers. Large multi-caste lists appear within the same district schools - so this claim is not supported by the data.
3. “A blacksmith teacher was teaching only blacksmith caste.”
Adam does not report any such rule. He records both teachers & students from various castes. He does not state anywhere that only the same caste students were taught by their own caste teachers.
4. “Education was hereditary.”
In every society traditional occupations were often hereditary. But this doesn't prove any castes were restricted. Adam’s evidence shows much higher number of lower castes getting vernacular education. Non-Brahmin teachers were instructing mixed students in the classroom so educational participation was cutting across caste lines.
If anything - Adam's data shows that there was permeability and flexibility in native Hindu schools- not any rigid caste-locking of literacy.
@himantabiswa Their biometric details should be taken and red flagged so that even if they somehow infiltrate the country bypassing the security, they are not able to get Aadhaar and other documents. This is very important. I hope this is already being done.
