What could go wrong with an Ambedkarite subreddit falling in hands of a Sorryveer fanboy?
This Person who is a clear fanboy of Sorryveer wants us to believe that we (Ambedkarites) have less evolved brains for not being able to understand this textbook example of TROJEN-HORSING, and what could go wrong when such a person gatekeeps an Ambedkarite subreddit.
In the comments on his latest post on r/librandu about him gaining control on r/Ambedkarites it's evident, how less-informed Ambedkarite's are so deeply unaware about identifying the Wolf under Sheep's skin.

How powerful and dominated are corporate and media who opposed the share of obc children and obc caste members in the state?
Weighty evidence for this comes both from the participation in the agitation by executives of Information Technology companies, and from the disclosure that 'event management' specialists -- who charge hefty fees -- were hired to foment protests in Mumbai. Evidently, many tycoons decided to kill the very idea of affirmative action in educational institutions -- so it can't be extended to the private sector, as the government proposes to do
The inspiration behind the anti-affirmative action agitation had nothing to do with promoting the public interest or any universal collective or national objectives. Rather, it was driven by a highly individualistic urge to defend and extend privilege against the common good.
They opposed the democratization of allocation of resources for the overall welfarism of indian population, to improve learning outcomes, education quality and nutrition, stuntedness, malnutrition,

When obc children and people didn't get their due share in power and states, they agitated for it,by denying the quality education and stake in the state to 50% of population, they claimed to bring prosperity

Caste is a legally recognised entity with the full support of UCs
These are upper caste Most UCs use their privilege to be successful They are polite about reservations knowing that it’s a great sop distracting from the main issue —annihilation of caste; they are unwilling to reform Hinduism what ambedkar asked them to do, to maintain superiority
Neo liberalism and nehruvian era didn't improve the condition of obc caste, that is why they asked for their share in the state

In the Nehruvian era when politics was all in favour of upper castes it was not called as caste politics at that time. But it so happened then that it favoured the upper castes.
People have been taught that 'caste politics' only means lower caste politics.
In the Nehruvian era when politics was all in favour of upper castes it was not called as caste politics at that time. But it so happened then that it favoured the upper castes. And we use phrases like 'it so happened' trying to avoid the fact that it too was a kind of caste politics.
The same with the Modi regime. 2014 is often seen as a new era free from 'caste politics' meaning, of course, lower caste politics. The Modi era is not recognised as the return of upper caste dominance in politics, which it, of course, is.
At the same time, I don't want to say that the Nehruvian era was some giant conspiracy by upper castes. That is not necessary; the point is that there was a systematic bias in place. This bias was made invisible by the dominant ideology of the day and this is how ideology works
As political scientist Christophe Jaffrelot notes, the Nehruvian state’s "casteless" rhetoric allowed upper castes to consolidate power while presenting their rule as universalist.

In Bihar, it’s not just about a voter list | A sample survey shows that the very principle of universal adult franchise is in danger of being undermined by the way EC's special intensive revision exercise is being conducted
The Bihar Electoral Roll Investigation | Records reveal: A detailed review and updation of the Bihar state electoral roll was completed by January 2025. The roll was found to be robust. Officials were updating the roll well into June. Suddenly, the Election Commission of India called it faulty and junked it, ordering an unprecedented exercise to verify voters from scratch. Chaos has ensued.

People here with different thinking and opinions that aren't mainstream in Indian society how do you get through your day living in a classroom or workplace?
My college session will be starting on 1st August and I don't wanna mess up things due to my different POV. I prefer dressing up in an alternative manner i.e., all black and sometimes neutrals and we all know that alternative fashion isn't mainstream in India and the way we dress up says a lot about us. There are times when I was mocked by my family members bcuz they hate the way Black attracts negative aura (Ik it's all nonsense). Even one of my classmate in 7th grade commented on my Top during Christmas party saying that are your all clothes like that or do you buy them from street vendors and her friends were laughing too. When I was in UKG I still remember how a random girl who used to go with me in school van once said that black is a color of bad people because I was wearing a frock which had black frills attached on it's border. Whenever I've asked my parents to let me celebrate Halloween by myself because I love spooky atmosphere and the fun of dressing up in costumes of your choice they always reply that beta there are a lot of festivals in India it's ok for westerners to celebrate such things because they don't get to have much fun like us. Like dude how is my happiness dependent on others' 😭😭regarding what to enjoy or not? When I was in 11th grade I asked my school librarian for books on Ancient Egypt because I always feel anemoia whenever I study their past culture and monuments. Due to my demand she replied, "You wanna move to Egypt or smth else ?" which made me totally blank. Also college life is a phase where we can embrace individuality & sometimes I have tough time being with people who aren't like me. Due to my anger issues I often develop excessive anger towards such which gives birth to big issues. Hope y'all get me

With so much conflict happening in our country over regional languages due to Maulana Modi's attempts to impose Mughlai Sanskrit, the logical solution is to choose a single national language that everyone would learn and speak. I have provided some options for the government to choose from, based on your votes. If you think you have a better alternative, mention it in the comments, and people will vote on it through upvotes.

Protests Work!
On June 24, the Election Commission released the instructions for Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar. With this exercise, 8 crore voters would be forced to fill voter enrollment forms, out of which over 4 crore voters would further need to establish their citizenship.
Reports revealed that the majority of the voters had none of the identity certificates required by the EC.
While the opposition parties, the civil society, and even former election commissioners raised questions and criticised the move, the Election Commission kept brushing aside these questions.
At the same time, the BJP, its IT cell, and its propaganda media, started justifying this exercise as another masterstoke.
It is obvious that the ruling party wanted to use this exercise to raise the bogey of infiltrators, which it has routinely done in every state election, from Jharkhand to Maharashtra.
Yet, the genuine struggle of the people, and their fears of disenfranchisement, could not be hidden by the propaganda. Contrary to the false claims made by the EC, the majority of the people have not even received the electoral forms yet. The BLO themselves express their frustration. Thousands of government teachers have been pushed into the exercise, disrupting the classes. The people are running from pillar to post, to get their documents, in the middle of agriculture season and during floods.
On July 9, the opposition parties called for a Bihar Bandh, a total shutdown of the state, against the Votebandi. The bandh was a massive success.
Yet, the narrative on social media suggests that the common people are in support of this exercise.
However, today's report in the New Indian Express reveals a shocking reality. BJP supporters are extremely angry at the party. The state BJP is worried that this exercise might lose them the election.
> “SIR has started putting us on the wrong wicket. Whenever we call the voters over their phones to know what they expect from the BJP and how they would help the BJP realise their dreams, the majority of the people express their resentment against the SIR and the BJP,” said a member of the party’s telephone-based survey team.
> Ramesh Kumar of Hajipur claimed, “When I got a call from the BJP tele-survey team about how I would be helping BJP in the upcoming Assembly election, my anger got the better of me because many of my family members received slips asking them to submit documents in order to remain in the electoral rolls. Our names have been on the voters’ list for over a couple of decades, and now the ECI, which is doing SIR at the behest of the BJP, is asking me for proof of my citizenship.”
> Another survey team member revealed, “Due to the ongoing SIR exercise, 6-7 out of 10 people contacted for their views and expectations from the BJP bluntly vented their anger against the party. It is not a good sign for the party before the election.”
> Many affected citizens, even long-time BJP supporters, claim the SIR has forced them to reconsider their support. “Aap kuch bhi chhap do, BJP wale apki baton ko nahi manenge aur SIR chalte rahega. Result will be very drastic this time—earth-shattering for BJP,” said Nirmal Kumar, a BJP worker from Patna. He added, “I also gave a dressing down to the caller the moment he asked me how I would be helping the BJP in this election.”
> Preferring anonymity, several BJP workers and leaders from both the party and its allies—JDU and LJP (RV)—expressed frustration over the exercise. They said many rural voters, who don’t possess birth or residential certificates, have been asked to submit them to stay on the rolls. “Believe me or not, but 15-20% voters of the BJP and 10-15% voters of the JDU would not be able to vote this time as they would not be able to furnish the required documents. They have Aadhaar and EPICs, but those are not accepted,” said a senior BJP leader.
> Rajesh Kumar from Gaya said 50-60 BJP-supporting families in his village have been asked to provide eligibility documents. “Now they would not be able to vote if their names get

Why isn't Mayawati discussed more often as a feminist icon in mainstream or online feminist spaces?
So I have recently started studying Political Science and IR for UPSC,
This isn’t a post to glorify any political figure, but rather to examine a pattern I’ve noticed across online feminist discourse, especially on social media and Reddit.
When we talk about feminist icons, we often highlight women who are successful, assertive, self-made, and who challenge patriarchal norms. But more often than not, these figures tend to come from relatively privileged or well packaged backgrounds, social media influencers, authors, or global figures who are highly visible, polished, and aligned with the dominant aesthetics of internet feminism.
Which brings me to Mayawati, someone who, on paper, checks many of the boxes typically associated with feminist ideals:
✅ Born into a Dalit family, she rose through deep caste and gender-based social barriers.
✅ Entered politics without dynastic backing.
✅ Held the office of Chief Minister of India’s largest state multiple times.
✅ Maintained political independence in a male-dominated arena.
✅ Faced years of public ridicule, media bias, and misogyny, yet remained electorally relevant for decades.
Despite this, she’s rarely discussed, if at all, in feminist conversations online. Her name doesn’t come up in listicles or Instagram reels celebrating “strong women,” nor is she framed as an example of feminist resilience in Indian or global discussions.
So the question that lies here:
Is there a reason someone like Mayawati doesn’t resonate within popular feminist spaces?
Is it due to Her association with realpolitik and caste-based mobilization?
Or The lack of media-driven narrative around her achievements? Or maybe A discomfort with her unapologetic style or perceived authoritarianism? Or does she not align with the version of empowerment that’s become dominant on digital platforms, more aesthetic, lifestyle-oriented, and individualistic?
I’m asking this not to defend or attack her, but to better understand how feminist icons are constructed, and whether power that comes from resistance (rather than relatability) is sometimes overlooked in favor of softer, more digestible narratives.
Genuinely curious to hear diverse views, especially from Indian women and those who engage actively with intersectional feminism.
