Meet Behenji Mayawati, India's most privileged victim.
She demands more reservations. She calls anyone questioning them anti-national. She claims the system has failed Dalits. What she never mentions is her own story.
Her grandfather, Mangal Sen, was a soldier in the British Indian Army. This was an elite job for Indians of the early 20th century. When most Indians did not have guaranteed food on the table, less than 1% were fortunate enough to hold such a position. It came with a fixed government salary, a pension, and land. At a time when most Indians were doing unpaid manual labor with zero rights, Mangal Sen had financial stability that most Indians, upper caste or Dalit, could only dream of. That salary, pension and land put the Das family on a completely different trajectory from 99% of Dalits of that era.
His son Prabhu Das became a government employee in the postal department through SC reservation. Stable income. Government benefits. His children received free education through reservation schemes. Three generations of state support, stacked one on top of the other.
His daughter Mayawati used reservation to advance through education and politics. She became UP CM four times. She accumulated personal assets worth over Rs 111 crore(official). By any measure, she is the single greatest hijacker of the reservation system in Indian history.
And yet she stands at podiums telling you the system has failed and she wants more.
She justifies reservation by screaming that economical policies for the poor are ineffective. What she doesn't tell you is that such policies are ineffective precisely because of her and her ilk. She herself gulped down budget of 1000s of crores for economic policies, yet 30% of her own Dalit community is below the poverty line.
Now she fights tooth and nail against economic reservations for poor GC families. People who never had a soldier grandfather with land and a pension. Never had a government job father. Never had reservation benefits stacked across three generations. Families genuinely starting from zero. She wants them to remain downtrodden and suffer while she and her ilk continue to capture everything meant for downtrodden.
Her argument is that caste discrimination justifies continued reservation. Then answer this one question. After three generations of your own family benefiting, grandfather with army salary, pension and land, father in government through reservation, daughter as four-time Chief Minister with Rs 111 crore in assets, at what point exactly does your family step aside and let the actual poor and downtrodden in?
Reservations were designed as a temporary corrective measure. They were never meant to be a permanent inheritance system for the same families across generations. Mayawati is not the face of reservation's failure. She is the face of exactly who captured it. In fact, reservations passing down the line for generations is exactly what discriminatory Caste System is all about.
The Dalit still doing manual labor in a UP village today holds the same SC certificate as Mayawati. He just doesn't have her grandfather's land, pension and army salary to stand on. He simply doesn't have resources to compete with likes of her for that seat.
She wants her family and similar elite families to continue enjoying reservations while poor GCs and Dalits are starving. Worse, she wants to deny these previlges to poor GCs who never had such luck in their entire generation.
This is the fallout of too much democracy and a soft state (toward certain community groups).
He blocked the road, stood in a macho pose, sword drawn, sunglasses on, (probably) beer in hand. All the ingredients of swag to look cool in the reel that he knows is being recorded and will be posted on social media with chest-thumping captions.
What he is doing is punishable under BNS Section 221, but I doubt he'll even be called for questioning. This behavior comes when you are 100% sure that there will be no consequences for such audacity. The Army jawans, bound by the orders not to argue with civilians, won't react. The police, under pressure from politicians to not touch electorally important groups, won't do much either.
‘रिजर्वेशन हटाओ आंदोलन’ का हर्ष दुबे के इस प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस को कोई समर्थन नहीं है। चूँकि हम इस आंदोलन से वैचारिक रूप से जुड़े थे, इसलिए कल मेरी उपस्थिति वहाँ थी। हमने ना तो यह आंदोलन बुला��ा था, ना प्रेस कॉन्फ्रेंस।
जो लोग हर्ष या अन्य लोगों के बुलाने पर जंतर मंतर आए थे, उनसे विनम्र निवेदन है कि वो अपने घरों को प्रस्थान करें। कोई तो कारण रहा होगा कि मैंने ऐसे किसी आंदोलन के लिए लोगों को इतनी शीघ्रता से बुलाने से मना किया था।
कोई भी पार्टी इसे यह ना समझे कि आंदोलन समाप्त हो चुका है। हम चर्चा करेंगे, लोगों को बताएँगे और हम शीघ्र ही वापस आएँगे और इस संख्या से बहुत बड़ी संख्या में आ���ँगे।
साथ ही, हर्ष दुबे के पिताजी को विधायक टिकट हेतु शुभकामनाएँ। आपके माध्यम से एक सवर्ण विधानसभा में पहुँचेगा। आशा है आप वहाँ आरक्षण की वर्तमान नीतियों का विरोध करेंगे।

This 40-looking, 140-kg Gen Z whale has the audacity to throw the “hamare tax se inko salary milti hai” line at an Army Commanding Officer whose entry into the cordoned-off zone she was blocking.
The Army isn't a private service being provided to individual taxpayers. Defence is a sovereign function of the state, funded from the consolidated public budget. A taxpayer doesn't personally employ a soldier and therefore doesn't acquire the right to order, obstruct or demean him. The soldier serves the Republic through the chain of command and the law.
Army personnel pay taxes too. They are salaried employees, so tax is deducted at source. They pay taxes on their interest, investments and other taxable income as well. They neither evade taxes by default nor steal a single rupee from the public exchequer.
Yet somehow, they are supposed to stand there and listen to entitled, loudmouthed, uncouth people lecture them about “taxpayers’ money.”
And ironically, according to social media reports, her family is into property dealing. We all know what a spotless reputation the property-dealing business has when it comes to tax compliance. But since it’s apparently cool, the “taxpayers’ money pays your salary” taunt can always be thrown at the armed forces.
@AsYouNotWish The tourist standing there and listening to vile remarks about our army without protesting are just as responsible. If this is not stopped or if they are not taught a lesson, then gradually, speaking against or opposing the army will become a trend.
@theskindoctor13 Police and officials should take strict action and set a precedent that bizarre or shameful behavior will not be tolerated in sensitive areas. They are doing their job, so people ought to learn basic etiquette.
A woman is arguing with the security forces for not letting her cross the cordoned-off area somewhere in J&K.
Everything else aside, what does 'we are Gen Z' even mean in this context? Is being born in a specific year range (something you had zero control over) supposed to be a groundbreaking achievement or a license for total entitlement?
‘We are GenZs, we are shit at speaking English (or taking care of our health), but we will yell in English thinking it will somehow shield our stupidity.’
If Army allows this stupidity, we will have another Pahalgam because terrorists are waiting for these fucktards everyday to create nuisance.
Supreme Court rushed for elections, a domain that must only rest with @PMOIndia and 26 Hindu males were killed in cold blood. Some of those fathers must have had GenZ daughters.
This hippo must ask herself: Is your tourism worth your life?
The moment any shit goes wrong, the same morons will stage another protest: What was Army doing.
All they need is a good arsewhipping.
Dozens of journalists covered the student protest in BJP ruled Delhi with total freedom, while in Opposition ruled Jharkhand @AmanChopra_ is picked up by cops, questioned, and slapped with an FIR.
No outrage. Because Democracy is alive and so is Press Freedom under the Congress.
So, the “Reel Journalist” who came to Ranchi to cover the student protest was staying at a Govt Guest House and the CM reposted all his interviews.
Is this a mere coincidence or a well planned strategy to whitewash the govt’s image?
झारखंड के बच्चों के कंधे पर उछलने वाली Reel कब बनाओगे ?
- इस आधार पर NEET में 2 दर्जन लोगों की गिरफ्तारी हुई थी
- NTA से 47 अधिकारी बर्खास्त हुए
- पेपर लीक धर्मेंद्र प्रधान ने नहीं टीचर और बच्चों ने किया
तुम्हें Jharkhand में मंत्री या CM का इस्तीफा नहीं चाहिए ?
ये लश्कर मीडिया का दोगलापन है
REPOST UNTIL HE GETS ARRESTED 🚨
Anoop Kumar from Dharmapur, Majhgai (PS) is mocking Bhagwan Shiv ji & Hindu Deities on Instagram reels and trying to create communaI unrest.
Requesting @kheripolice to take strict action and ARREST him ASAP. Check DM for details.
@amitmalviya For something like this, you deserve nothing but abuse. @CJP_for_India, I urge you to use the kind of language associated with 'Jantar Mantar' (abusive rhetoric). They are experts at listening to it, and you are experts at dishing it out.
@BeelzebubJagga@SunainaHoley What about those girls who need to be reasoned with rather than beaten with a belt? During the protests, we observed that most of the girls were speaking rudely and using abusive language.
