i have no accommodation to make for the backers of a terrorist pseudo-state that carries out indiscriminate shelling that took lives of children and destroyed a school, gives state funeral to terrorists killed (while calling them "martyrs" and "freedom fighters"), and state protection to terrorists still alive

People who benefit from casteism aren't bramhins 90 percent of the time, it is the vaishyas, i.e shopkeepers and land-owning farmer class who benefit off dalit farm labourers and poor dalit customers. Often, it is people call themselves "lower caste" by virtue of being down in the heirarchy; they benefit from caste reservations made for dalits while still opressing dalits. Often, and this can be a hard concept to digest, often they are ones who have succeeded in getting OBC certification in many states, so they are able to posture as dalit when it benefits them socially and politically and yet very actively perpetuates the cycle of opression on dalits.
It benifits caste-deniers to present casteism as bramhins vs. non-bramhins but it's important that we never forget what it really is: dalit vs. non-dalit.

Sometimes I look at Kanha and all I wanna do is hug him tightly and cry my heart out.
This is the sectional cut off (aka the minimum required score in each section of the exam to pass) for the IPMAT Indore 2023....the difference between General category and the rest is insane. Not to mention the reservation.
Yes, casteism exists in India. But it's probably not how the rest of the world is made to believe.
The IPMAT is just an example. This happens EVERYWHERE and I AM SO TIRED OF THIS.
i'm the kind of nerd that enjoys all the different kinds of nerd stuff but i could not tell you a single thing about any of it, i am a black hole of "oh, that's cool" and then it's gone
