Regular reminder: Creamy layer makes no sense. Reservations are not a poverty-alleviation programme. Their very purpose is to create new elites -- and hence broaden India's base of elites. scroll.in/article/1095665/wh…

Nonsense! Every history book of early India covers Ashoka's inscriptions. It's probably *the most* discussed subject of the period. "Glorious Buddhist past" is a suss framework, though. Early Vedic society was also real & there's substantial evidence (just not material sources)

Every Maharashtrian should watch this

SAFFRONIZATION OF DALIT VALMIKIS Valmiki Dalits are North India's second largest Dalit community after Jatavs. They were traditional Dalit voters of CONGRESS. Unlike Jatavs, they didn't embrace AMBEDKARISM. And in last 15 yrs, they have been wooed aggressively by RSS & BJP.

Qutub Minar located in Mehrauli, Delhi is basically a Buddhist pillar and Buddhist monastery.

Tirupati Balaji Temple is basically a Buddhist monastery.

🚨96.7% reservation in AIIMS🚨 Out of total 62 seats, only 2 are Unreserved (3.2%). The remaining 60 seats (EWS 3 + OBC 25 + SC 24 + ST 8) are reserved. This is not “representation.” This is a near-total carve-out. After clearing MBBS and INI-CET, a general-category candidate is left fighting for just two open seats while 60 posts are locked behind category walls. Merit is secondary to the quota matrix. India will become a developed nation by 2047 exactly like this. First give reservation in NEET UG, then give reservation in NEET PG even at –40 marks. Then give reservation again at the job stage. Give reservation at every single step. No matter how much reservation you give to donkeys, they will never become horses.

Ohio votes on Tuesday, 3 November. Vivek Ramaswamy wants to be Governor. In his book Woke, Inc., he writes about his Brahmin family. Kings ranked below them. Lower-caste house help used a separate door. He calls caste "more values than rules." Then in December 2024, he told Americans their culture prefers "mediocrity over excellence." He asked for "hard work over laziness." Pride by birth. Contempt for those who earn. Is that pride legal? India banned caste discrimination and abolished untouchability in 1950. Articles 15 and 17. A separate door is a crime today. Is it moral? No one chooses their birth. Pride in it is not a value. It is privilege. Is it ethical to call caste "values" while lecturing Americans on merit? Heard this before. Kamala Harris's mother told SF Weekly in 2003: "We are Brahmins, that is the top caste." I called it out in August 2020. After she became VP, that article went offline. India is ending caste. Should America elect it?

Buddhism does not recognize castes. If a Hindu Mahar converts to Buddhism, he cannot show himself as Buddhist Mahar. This is the entire controversy which is present in various parts of the country. There can be a Adi dravidar caste within the Hindu scheduled castes, but there cannot be one in the Buddhist community since Buddhism itself does not recognize castes. It is for this reasons a separate caste certificate is given to Buddhist. You can refer the act here legitquest.com/act/maharasht… As per Rule 5(6) (6) The Competent Authority shall verify the documents with the original documents, if necessary and if satisfied about the correctness of the information, documents and evidence furnished by the applicant he shall issue the Caste Certificate to the applicant belonging to Scheduled Caste in FORM-6; to Scheduled Caste converts to Buddhism in FORM-7; to De-notified Tribes (Vimukta Jatis), Nomadic Tribes, Other Backward Classes or Special Backward Category in FORM-8; and to the applicant belonging to Other Backward Class or De-notified Tribes (Vimukta Jatis) or Nomadic Tribes or Special Backward Category, which have been included in the list of Other Backward Class by the Government of India for this State shall be issued in FORM-9, within forty-five days from the date of receipt of the duly completed application. Now clearly for Buddhist converts to Buddhism the Form prescribed by the law is Form -7. The DOPT circular is for central government jobs and if you want some benefits in Maharashtra state it is surely Form 7. Now the same act says if some one uses wrong form than it is null and void. (7) The Caste Certificates issued in any other FORM, than in sub-rule (6) above shall be treated as null and void. All those who were commenting that I was not correct needs to correct themselves. Now if you are a Buddhist Convert and for example have Form 6, the law does not permit. It can be a practice that the state is accepting. But when somebody objects to it is the issue. The entire issue clearly shows that there is no clarity about caste certificates post conversion. The anti conversion law should clarify the procedure post conversion and the format also. In case of Buddhism, since sub castes cannot be recognized, they need to be given a separate caste certificate. There identification with the core subcaste like Chamar, Mahar, Mala should go.

Dalits can only prosper with Reservations, Nothing else.

"They eat no flesh, and drink no wine, and live a life of great chastity" Marco Polo on Brahmins, late 1200s CE “They never drink wine except at sacrifices.” Megasthenes, 300 BCE. Something changed. We went from meat-eating moderate drinkers to pure veg teetotalers.

I watched it multiple times just to see their faces as @PiyushGoyal ji cooked them with facts. And That dead silence in the hall... oh god. Absolutely brilliant.

All those who advise should first convert themselves legally to Buddhism and get a new caste certificate for themselves and their family members. First do it
