With centenary year of Mahad satyagraha approaching, Maharashtra govt—after proposals by the nagar parishad over last five years—has green-lit a Rs 55 cr rejuvenation plan.
British Colonial censuses did not merely record caste, they froze it, standardised it, and permanently tied it to governance. Independent India inherited this mechanism.
Brahmins and Ashraafs not only set the rules for social climbing but also imposed rigid categories on the masses through their proximity to British power.
An abused woman responded instinctively, seeking deterrence rather than dominance. To convert that reflex into a political crime exposes moral confusion.

Even if it’s a municipal election someplace where the Congress is a cipher, you will find BJP targeting it. It’s an acknowledgement that Modi sees Congress, however battered, as his only likely challenger.
Another day, amd another endless grievance..oh my!!
A UK-based blogger has rolled out a piece designed to push a textbook anti-Brahmin agenda, trying to spin India’s foundational heritage into some sort of corporate conspiracy. This entire argument relies on heavy university jargon just to dress up a standard attack on Hindu tradition.
The most dishonest claim needs to be addressed directly.
The blogger explicitly labels the Vedas, the Upanishads, and the Bhagavad Gita as “exclusively Brahminical traditions” rather than universal Hindu heritage. These are **Bharatiya Haindava**… universal Hindu texts. They belong to every single person who identifies with this civilization. Claiming that making these sacred texts open-source, free, and instantly accessible to everyone with a smartphone is a “revival of exclusion” is completely broken logic. Digitizing knowledge is the ultimate democratization, yet this writer spins it as a crime because it threatens his anti-Brahmin narrative.
The piece also relies heavily on classic academic hedging. After spending most of the text framing these texts as tools of pure oppression, the blogger inserts a polite disclaimer at the very end saying, “None of this is to argue that Hindu traditions have no place.” This is a standard trick to trash a culture completely while maintaining fake neutrality to avoid accountability for blatant bias.
The hypocrisy is transparent. This blogger attacks young Indian tech founders from a comfortable perch in the UK, but remains completely silent on the massive race and class hierarchies inside the Western institutions funding their own university career.
Bottom line: You can wrap a blatant anti-Brahmin bias in expensive Western vocabulary, but a smartphone app giving ancient texts to the masses isn’t a conspiracy… it is the ultimate democratization.*
Thanks for the title . It alone explains what all is written in this article hence no need to waste you time
