3:43; There were revolts against british rule but there was no revolt against Mughal rule . why???? which means mughal rule wasn’t resented and the mughals didn’t touch the social malpractices designed by the bammans to exploit the majority 85% of oppressed castes of obc, sc, st, with the help of the slavish kshatris n bania crooks. But the british spread mass education, brought in social reforms and all this action of the british was abhorred by the parasatic caste of bammans n hence they engineered revolt against the British …,

haha...are you high on something? There was a constant fight in all the kingdoms - be it Mughal or Marathas or Rajputs. What education did the British spread? that Indians are savages and can't rule themselves? That our culture is backward? Is that what education is - and did that cause the uprising? Mughals killed million of Hindus too - the uprise was basically various wars and life were lost even then. People like you can only spin up all the theories without fact - so good luck with that.

@@prateeksrivastava2150 : Moghuls were as imperial as the british n when they invaded india they encountered hindu kingdoms only hence these encounters easily got branded as hindu-muslim conflict initially but later many hindu kingdoms aligned with the moghuls to take on rival hindu kingdoms. Had the objective of moghul invasion of india been spread of islam than they would hv converted all hindus several times over in the span of their 800+ years rule but still 80% of india is still hindu. And still hindus feel hinduism is in danger under 76 yrs of hindu rule post independence 😂😂😂. There is no account of hindus being killed by muslim invaders on religious grounds and those who got killed belonged to the fighting force of their rivals and so got killed by default. There are several instances of moghul army being led by hindus against a hindu king. The moghuls had a long term plan and finally settled in india and the reason for their long time rule was their non interference in the social / religious affairs of the hindus - howsoever despicable - doing otherwise wld hv been like kicking the hornet nest and inviting the wrath of the cunning bammans who had ensured that their parasitical lifestyle did not get disturbed under any rule. The bammans dominated the bureaucracy even under moghul rule and didn’t suffer even a scratch from the moghuls because of their pliable attitude towards those in power. The british on the contrary brought civility and rule of law to india as against the uncivilised and regressive society they inherited from the moghuls. All social reforms introduced by the british hit hard the bammanical patriarchy and its parasatic lifestyle that’s why the bammans revolted against the British and not against the moghuls …

Previleged castes population counts for about twelve percent but hold country wealth above 90 percent, they enjoyed this benefit for thousands of years. Oppressed classes could get a small chance after adoption of constitution i.e. about 75years. But they frequently demand for abolition of reservation but never raise voice for casteless society, equal opportunity, equal distribution of nation wealth and abolition of any type of discrimination. In this 21st century school teacher kills his lower caste student just for touching his water pot. What a shame, we don't feel ashamed. Upper castes should come forward, should show brave heart and offer opportunities to oppressed classes.

the positive discrimination program has worked for millions of people. Has it been super-efficient? The answer is no. For example, today it is not brahmins and thakurs that create problems for dalits - it was only until recently Muslims and Yadavs. Political power has shifted from upper castes to select OBC groups and the process of churning in OBC groups has begun as well.

it will only be implemented properly only when a time limit is imposed on this affirmative action. Lalu Yadav's nincompoop children should have no access to reservations, nor should any children of those who have taken advantage of reservations to get into high paying jobs in government or otherwise. Otherwise it will be slow moving political churn that will continue for it to be inefficient.

Amish is confused between Brahmin and Brahminical ideology. Any person irrespective of his caste thinking some other castes inferior than his in any way is Brahminical. And how can one say with the confidence that positive discrimination has benefited fully ? Count the percentage of dalit in population living in slums, working as sanitary worker in Hospitals, Railways, Corporations. How many upper caste students drop out of school or college just because it is not affordable even to travel to the institution.? It was dalits' and Adivasi's right to find place in the government and job through reservations.. don't speak like system has done some extraordinary for them. It was indeed achieved by Dalit and OBC leaders only. It is impossible to imagine social justice in India without Ambedkar. And for that matter.. the extent of discrimination and humiliation was not that sever in US and Europe as it is and deeply rooted in India.
