@talk2anuradha Maybe they’re scared of the Minus Forty gang.

"Equality cannot be selective. We can't ask uniform civil laws but support special criminal laws based on caste. People backing UCC should also fix the uneven SC/ST Act.
True fairness needs the same criminal laws for everyone, not two different systems."

Well said @roypranesh 🙌

I did an experiment.

I told ChatGPT I wanted to contest an election and win. I didn’t tell it the state or even the country. I simply asked for a strategy.

ChatGPT gave me a strategy based on factors like GDP, healthcare, education, infrastructure, governance etc.

Then I mentioned that I wanted to contest an election in a state in India.

Suddenly, the strategy changed. It started talking about caste and religion and where I would have the maximum chances of winning.

This country needs some serious course correction. Otherwise, we are cooked.

Barabanki, 2021. Gang rape is reported. FIR is filed without investigation. Accuser is given monetary compensation. Two men are arrested. One of them dies in jail. Four years later a court declares the entire case is fabricated.

A deep-dive into the SC/ST Act with @prasadaditi:

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

The SC/ST Act in its present form is a blot on Indian democracy. It has, exactly how the Supreme court had warned before it was overruled, become an instrument of rampant blackmail and extortion, of both the citizens and the State.

Here, I dissect its alarming weaponisation:
