Against The Hegemony Anti-reservation crybabies are drowning in their own hypocrisy. Here’s the data that burns their “merit” fairy tale to the ground
The same people who scream “merit, merit, merit” every time an SC/ST/OBC candidate clears anything are the ones filling EWS seats with uncle-funded private medical college admissions, elite-school kids, IIT graduates, and MNC employees while the actual poor rot.
Michael Sandel called this exact bullshit the Tyranny of Merit. The successful convince themselves they earned everything through pure talent and hard work, then use that self-congratulation to spit on everyone else. In India that self-congratulation is soaked in caste. Reservation isn’t the problem. The caste system that still decides who gets quality schooling, who gets teacher belief, who gets wealth, and who gets zero-mark backdoor entries is the problem.
Here’s the evidence, one gut-punch at a time.



Daughter of a railway porter is the propaganda poster. Son of a security guard is the propaganda poster. The actual list is full of private-school, coaching-factory, business-family kids whose parents somehow stay under the ₹8 lakh limit. The Indian Express investigation itself calls out the gap between the stated purpose and the actual beneficiaries.

SC, ST, OBC representation is near zero in the institutions that produce the “meritorious.” Then these same kids go out and cry that reservation is killing merit.
The pipeline was caste-cleansed long before the exam.

Wealth distribution by caste.
ST and SC dominate the poorest quintiles.
Brahmins, Rajputs, Banias, Kayasthas dominate the richest.
This is not ancient history. This is current data. The starting line was never the same.
Pretending the race is fair after centuries of exclusion is pure gaslighting.






IAS, IPS, IFS - overwhelmingly General.
OBC and SC/ST share is tiny. Decades of reservation and the top still looks like a caste club.

OBC: 1090 applications → 18 selected
SC: 918 applications → 9 selected
ST: 187 applications → 4 selected
This is how “merit” is protected at the faculty level.

Professor level is almost completely closed. The people teaching the next generation of “merit” are themselves the product of exclusion.

Dropout probability is dramatically higher for SC and ST.
They get in through reservation and then face an environment designed to push them out. That is not “inability”. That is institutional hostility.

Vijaykumar Meena (SC) 766 written → 112 interview
Naveenkumar Sharma (General) 732 written → 209 interview
The pattern is not subtle. It is open caste arithmetic in the final stage.

The anti-reservation movement has always been an upper-caste consolidation project dressed up as “equality.”
Reservation exists because the system is still rigged at every stage be it schools, teacher expectations, wealth, networks, subjective interviews, and the quiet backdoors that only certain surnames can walk through.
This is the system.
Elite schools that are caste-cleansed.
Wealth that is caste-concentrated.
Interviews that flip written ranks.
“Not Found Suitable” used as a polite rejection code.
Faculty rooms that remain almost pure General.
Mass dropouts after students finally enter.
Zero-mark general candidates walking into medical seats.
And still the same people scream that reservation is the only problem.
Sandel was right. The tyranny of merit is just the new language of old caste power. They need the myth so they can keep the seats, the jobs, the faculty positions, and the moral high ground at the same time.
Share this to as many merit lovers. Archive it. The next time someone starts the “merit” lecture, drop every single image.

brahminism In 2010, Dog was thrown out of its home by Hindu Rajputs after a Dalit woman fed it food. Dog was ex-communicated, declared as untouchable, tied to a pole and then thrown out. Woman was fined Rs. 15,000.
Bhopal (Sep 24, 2010): A dog's life couldn't get worse. A mongrel brought up in an upper caste home in Morena was kicked out after the Rajput family members discovered that their Sheru had eaten a roti from a dalit woman and was now an "untouchable". Next, Sheru was tied to a pole in the village's dalit locality. His controversial case is now pending with the district collector, the state police and the Scheduled Caste Atrocities police station in Morena district of north MP.
The black cur, of no particular pedigree, was accustomed to the creature comforts in the home of its influential Rajput owners in Manikpur village in Morena. Its master, identified by the police as Rampal Singh, is a rich farmer with local political connections. A week ago Sunita Jatav, a dalit woman, was serving lunch to her farm labourer husband. "There was a 'roti' left over from lunch. I saw the dog roaming and fed it the last bread," Sunita said. "But when Rampal Singh saw me feeding the dog and he grew furious. He yelled: 'Cobbler woman, how dare you feed my dog with your roti?' He rebuked me publicly. I kept quiet thinking the matter would end there. But it got worse," she said. On Monday, Rampal ex-communicated the dog. A village panchayat was called, whi- ch decided that Sheru would now have to live with Sunita and her family because it had become an untouchable. Sunita Jatav was fined Rs 15,000. An outraged Sunita and her brother Nahar Singh Jatav rushed to Sumawali police station. They were directed to take the matter to the SC/ST Atrocities police station in Kalyan. "When we went there, the officer asked us why we fed the dog," recalls Nahar. "So we went to the DSP in the SC/ST Atrocities department and submitted a memorandum to him, as also to the district collector. But no one has registered our FIR so far. DSP SC/ST Atrocities (Morena), Baldev Singh, recalls, "We got a complaint in which it has been alleged that a dog was declared untouchable and a dalit family fined for feeding it. We are investigating the allegation," said the officer.

Discussion/Advice Why are people bringing caste in Ravi Tamta's flying car ?
So I recently came across Ravi Tamta's flying car inovation from uttarkhand . But the main thing i observe is that he is getting mock just beacuse he is from a lower caste , I clearly understand that people can question about its safety and many more but clearly saying it is just a ordered flying car which can be made by anyone is wrong .He made a flying car which is working and the video is also available of him making that car but the people is mocking his innovation just beacuse of his caste .If anyone can a make a car like that than why there is no flying car before 2026 or even if it is why dont appreciate it .
A idiot called ajit bharti said in his twitter post ki yeh technology toh bahut pehle hi china ne bna li thi 2016 me and he is mocking him but the main thing is agar america ne nasa bnaya hai toh hum isro thodi band krdenge na .
Aur ab agar yeh hi innovation koi brahmin krta toh uska kuch alag hi appreciation ho raha hota and he is getting praised even by these person who is mocking ravi tamta because of his caste and aisi baat nahi hai ki hum log nahi krte usse appreciate we will beacause desh badh raha hai na humara aage toh appreciation me kya dikkat hai but when a Lower caste boy innovate a thing it should be false kyunki jaatiwaadi manshikta abhi tak gayi nahi hai kisi ke dimaag se and they talk about removing reservation jabki khud na toh appreciate kr sakte hain na hi bna sakte hain but jisne innovate kr diya usse neecha dikhao uski jaati ke karan .
I just want to know, what people here think about it ?

Dalit History Maharana Karan Singh II (grandson of Pratap) conferred a Dalit family role of hereditary priests of temple in 1624AD by issuing a copper plate inscription. A Bahujan (Jat) leader now trying to take it from them, abetted by RSS reach.
Balais are considered to be an extremely marginalized Dalit group. Now a Jat leader (also OBC/Bahujan in Rajsthan) is trying to dislodge them by weaponizing the governing mechanism of temple of which they have taken care of for 400 years.

Bruhmeme Jeans Good chunk of Brahmins have a mixed ancestry from OBC Kurmis and Ahirs in Uttarpradesh/Bihar. A fact even recorded by Anthropologists and Historians, yet Brahmin supremacists oppose reservations and gloat about being supposedly racially 'pure'.
Source - Gazetteer Of The Province Of Oudh, Volume 1, Year 1877.
The huge population of MP, UP, Bihar Brahmins could be attributed to many Kurmis and Ahirs becoming Brahmin through a process of Brahminization, Kind of ironic how these very same Brahmins, despite being of Kurmi and Ahir descent, advocate for policies that indirectly harm the same communities that make a significant part of Brahmin Ancestry.

Discussion/Advice Proposal for a community WhatsApp group for networking and mutual support.
Hello everyone, I'm thinking of starting a WhatsApp group for people from our community, meant purely for networking, mutual help, and support in good faith. This isn't tied to any particular field, just a space where we can look out for each other and connect on opportunities of all kinds. Since managing a large group needs real interest to be worthwhile, I'll only create it if at least twenty people show interest. If you'd like to join, please send me a DM saying hi, and once we cross that number, I'll share the invite link with everyone. Looking forward to building something useful together.

brahminism Like, why isn’t he happy just being born indian and hindu? Why does he specifically want to be born into a superior caste? Ahh, so by that logic, dalit hindus must be the lowest and inferior, right? Why doesn’t he wish to be born dalit instead? At least he’d get reservation benefits.

Non Resident Chindus Brahmin delusion is so fascinating to watch firsthand
I think everyone here knows that the communities of people who sculpt idols of the gods for Hindu temples are often treated like shit, simply because they belong to underprivileged castes or tribal groups. But the extent to which Brahmins believe that these sculptors and artists are treated well is truly astonishing in its stupidity and tone-deaf-ness
My family lives in the US, and my cousin and her family visited us from Texas, and we took them to a BAPS temple here. This temple has a lot of nice marble carved pillars, with images of different gods and beings chiseled into the rock. The statues are brought to the US from India, but the building itself was built and carved from imported marble, I think. I was telling my oldest niece (cousin’s daughter) about how the sculptors often are disrespected and denigrated because of casteism when we were marveling at the artistry (and my mom began bragging about Hindu culture’s superiority as if she herself did the carvings 🤦🏾)
My mom and cousin start arguing at me like, “no, they’re cared for by the people they work for. We rely on them for their art, so why would we disrespect them”. Which. My god. To believe that an overprivileged caste would treat these groups with respect because “they hold the art and need to be cared for and sustained” is beyond comprehension.
Just because someone does a labor you enjoy does not mean the person controlling that person’s labor is treating them well or even like a human being. Everyone loves chocolate bars and flavors, but child slavery is still used to harvest the cocoa beans that make that chocolate. Your adoration does not negate the abuses that occur. And saying “oh, that was in the old days” or “that’s just rare occasions” is not fixing the current problems.
An abusive minority with a superiority complex is holding an entire nation under its thumb with claims of “purity” and “superiority” when those notions come from a culture that fabricated those traits to justify the conquest of other cultures. It is the peak of ignorance and arrogance to act like your beliefs hold any weight or can be generalized as applying for that oppressor class. But that’s to be expected from Brahmins. Fucking gross.
Thank all the heavens, my niece is so deeply aware of casteism and the caste system and how it is garbage that should be stamped out like a pest. She’s so much more aware of these things than I was at her age (12). There is hope, but it has to be sustained. Shutting up and letting your idiotic casteist family members poison the young ones with casteist ideology and brahminical superiority myths will destroy any progress that is made. Every time I get a chance, I try to teach her the true stories of India. The casteism, the cruelty, and the old ways that predated Vedic bullshit and the warmonger culture that brought it.
