A junior friend told her parents that she is seeing someone ( a woman ). Parents are renowned gynec and they took the whole news really well until they came and said "Brahman toh hai na woh?"

I loved 's feature debut #DoctorG! it's a genuine inquiry into the idea of masculinity, an empathetic critique of male entitlement, all seen from a refreshing female gaze! And while at that, it is also super fun and hilarious! THAT is quite an achievement!

To eradicate caste the need is to look inward. How many dalits/adivasis are your friends? How many are you hiring in your organization? Are you correcting caste-discrimination, reservation-hate in your family/friends' groups? Are you questioning your privilege enough?

Caste-based 'Reservation' is a social justice program--like affirmative action in the US. Caste can't be uprooted by removing reservations that are needed to counter the extreme & unfair hegemony. 15% of the privileged-caste population is monopolizing 95% of jobs and academia.

A very noble & progressive thought. The question is how does one plan to achieve this? Can we start by encouraging inter caste & inter faith marriages. Stop asking for caste, religion in educational, or govt forms even birth certificates? The only question should be citizenship.

Understanding how powerful the film 'Juice' by is on a personal level after you have your family over for lunch on a Sunday and see all the women cooped up in the kitchen catering to the needs of men who sit comfortably as they wait to be fed and comment on the food.

Whether it is chakka jaam or effigy burning or dharna, any such form of protest on the streets is automatically a criminal act if muslims do it which needs to be justified. In other cases when the same is done, it is deemed to be a democratic assertion that needs no explanation.
