NYT: The Specter of Caste in Silicon Valley

[Shantanu_Left]

Very logical. What is supposed to correct the crimes of two thousand years is not effective. We should therefore continue to live with 40% of our society condemned to the status to which these two thousand years of oppression had reduced them. No corrective action is useful. Let us not therefore correct anything. It is fate, it is karma; let the condemned suffer their condemned state; what are WE to do about it?

LOL. Who targeted Brahmins?

Don't be feigning ignorance now, dada.

Lefty circles in India are full of anti 'brahminical system' bs

graduated with a useless liberal arts degree and became a SJW.. 3rd wave feminist, BLM supporter etc. Check her twatter @YashicaDutt lol

So much for wasted effort in explaining to the trained that they are not educated. And, of course, apart from the Dalit, the next most uppity lot are women: those who can't even twitter, but failing to use their brains, use their genitals instead, and land up as twatters.

What a perfect example of how this kind of mind works.

a very salty lot, the political winds aren't blowing their way.

padh ke maza aaya , love me a good garam cuppa liberal tears.

Of course, what else? What do you think Hindutva is about? Did you watch that shit that the poster boy of Hindutva intellectualism spouted while speaking to his acolyte and breathless auditor, Rajiv Malhotra? By the end, he stopped trying to exercise any reason, and just fell back on caste being a wonderful motivating factor for different technical specialisations. You would love that two-part interview; both interviewed and interviewer being Brahmin being one of those very karmic coincidences that seem to abound in the world of Hindutva.

The alarming side note in all this, is that if the caste system has been imported and actively practiced in the US, then such upper caste Hindus in positions of power would likely also be discriminating against the people of color (African Americans etc) and Muslims, as they did back in India.

They do, you fool.

Catch them allowing their womenfolk to cohabit other than with properly certified whites.

Neomi's an interesting one, might make her way to your SC some day even. Super "right wing", believes in the rule of law and meritocracy etc

there are other high caste Hindus in this administration too, but only these came to mind for now.

Affirmative action is also law.

It is strange how that gets quietly deposited in the trash can when no one is looking.

Most US NRI's that are Hindu, on arrived there on a Hindu-1B visa, are ardent supporters of BJP. In fact, it's among the Indian diaspora in the USA that you find the most rabid Hindutvadis.

ok, but I asked for a few sources/links about Neomi Rao's support for the BJP's anti muslim agenda.

Gaay hamari mata hai. Angrezi nahi atta hai.

honestly thought you'd get it, the Simpsons were huge.. thought everybody knew "eat my shorts" would be a reference to it.

we learn new things all the time, happy to have imparted this knowledge to you, padawan.

 

[Joe Shearer]

Hope your kammi kamines , churrah , low caste hindus are not facing any caste based problem or discrimination from high caste chowdhries or waderas .

The hypocrisy is awesome. I find it healthier (for my own health) to ignore these.

None of us hate Brahmin human beings. Certainly not the Brahmin females They're the best.

We are only opposed to the Brahminiacal caste system, and want India to be free of it permanently.

See, Japan had a similar caste system before the Meiji Restoration era (19th century). There were the Shoguns, the Samurais, and the Burakumins (similar to Dalits in India). But their country underwent drastic modernization and eliminated that caste system.

China also had something similar: but it was more along the lines of feudalism.

If Japan and China can do it, so can India. All we need is a violent or peaceful overthrow of the present government, and a cultural revolution similar to Mao Zedong. No more Dalits: No more Brahmins. Saara koora ek jaisa hi barabar hai.

 

[Joe Shearer]

This is very sad these idiots are doing same in america what they are doing with lower castes in india . Caste discrimination is everywhere in india , dalits are not treated well even at workplaces where educated people work.

Please, repeat after me:

THE TRAINED ARE NOT THE EDUCATED.

Meritocracy bro

kisi ki shakal* dekh ke na job deni chahiye, na job deny karni chahiye... fairness.

and by shakal I mean all aspects, jaat, paat, dharm.. the lot of it.

There's no reason why a socialism experiment society cannot be meritocratic. Take one such experiment - USSR, which was generally a self-sufficient superpower one of whose plans included a manned Mars program to be done by the 80s.

On the other hand take India - perhaps the most extremely capitalist society. Compare it to USSR. What special meritocracy has India managed to achieve ?

@jamahir

Give it 1 hour before I get ATTACKED for this post from the wannabe Turkish-Iranian-Afghan posters.

Ah yes, that "We wuz Arabs, Iranians, Turks" brigade. They are simply embarrassing themselves.

From the top most centrrs of learning to the ordinary fly by night institutions across the country, young millennials and gen X,Y,Z whatever you call them have developed a boiling visceral hatred for caste reservation in educational institutions and govt employment. Most of these young people aren't the ones who have practiced discrimination or even been witness to one, but suddenly find themselves punished for the crimes of their forefathers. Denied admissions to top colleges, denied jobs, denied scholarships, denied a future, these people have developed hatred and anger that is now directed at the beneficiaries of the reservation.

So you think many of these middle class upper caste "victims", if not for the Reservations system, would not have voted for a religion-based party ?

 

[Joe Shearer]

Hindus and muslims all are involved in persecution of dalits .they all consider themselves above chamars in caste hiararchy. Same situation is i pakistan , kammi kamin chura, chamar , masihis and other lower castes are treated as low caste rajils .

You should ask my (former) friend Professor Khalid Anis Ansari about the Pasmanda Muslim.

She wrote that, AS A MINORITY !

The irony would not have occurred to her.

America is lucky to have her in their justice system. She replaced Brett Kavanaugh on their appeals court, Kavanaugh, you would know if you keep up with US politics, is the new supreme court appointee, there was much drama around it.

The use of the useful idiot has been developed centuries ago.

Most Indians are pro India

that's a good thing

Jai !

anyway, so you got nothing on Neomi then ? They had a proper go at Tulsi Gabbard too, for basically nothing.. no wonder the left is in tatters.. India to the US, and everywhere in between.

Look who's talking about feigning ignorance. All the assassins among the Rajputs and other forward castes and other backward castes are put up to it by an ideology carefully put together by one lot and one only.

I say this for the record. As if you don't know already.

lol

I get it.

Your hand betrayed you. You never meant it to be a sexually offending thing.

Right.
