Rahul Sonpimple is the activist and public voice we all need to keep us sane.

[@sonamsi7003]

When upper caste recruit upper caste, it is merit. When upper caste recruit lower caste it is reservation. When lower caste collaborate with lower caste, it is considered conspiracy.

[@SRINATHKADIAM-o6f]

Are you calling Muslim lower caste? They were Kings.

[@mohantysobhi]

Really well said.

[@SRINATHKADIAM-o6f]

@@sonamsi7003 I hope the Dalits keep their solidarity intact. I see the dominant, oppressive and exploitative castes among the Dalits reaching the courts to oppose the sub-categorization of the SC Reservation.. The REALLY downtrodden must get their fair share of the SC reservation. What would your stand be on this, sir? Because you seem to be an insightful intellectual.

[@AjitJoshi686]

Newslaundry should declare how many Dalits do they employ. Ideally 50% reservations are needed in media.

​@@భీమ్.చక్రwhy? why should we first expect the shameless media to change and then the so called protectors of free media. why can't news laundry set an example by sharing company caste breakdown transparently

[@SRINATHKADIAM-o6f]

​@@aviral2759Private Enterprise runs for profit. Merit and Profit are the only criteria. Newslaundry is a business. If there are talented people available, they will induct. They can't create talented Dalit Media Professionals. That takes a lot of time and resources. The government should do it. If they are available, Newslaundry will definitely hire them.

EVERY SINGLE PERSON IN INDIA MUST WORK TO MAKE DALITS ECONOMICALLY INDEPENDENT. Don’t let this guy break India separately. Indians in power MUST NOT be arrogant. BJP has just votes of over 200 million Muslims but further Dalit votes. Work hard to bring Dalits together with mainstream Hindus. Success must be shared.

49:44 ; Dalit -muslim political unity against all parties has helped the bjp as was obvious during the 2019 loksabha elections. And when this alliance was on the brink of the possibility of wining sizeable number of seats in the 2019-20 Maharashtra assembly elections a rift was engineered between MIM & VBA and the cause behind the rift still remains unknown although it favoured the Bjp / Sena alliance…

Sub-classification will start the end of SC ST reservation, first reservation will be divided, means less seats, then comes NFS, there will be court case, leads to no recruitment and end of reservation.

Why people of Secular Democratic Republican of India are still identified on the basis of caste and religion? If, still today, people of India are identified on the basis of religion and caste, then the concept of Secularism hasn't been understood and adopted by people of society, it's a complete failure of higher educational system.
