Author Sanam Sutirath Wazir shared heart-wrenching stories from his book ‘The Kaurs of 1984’ at an event at Delhi’s Theatre Kunzum last week. For many, memorials and money are no panacea.
When BeerBiceps asked Diljit Dosanjh why he’s so deep, the singer-actor pointed to his lonely childhood where his parents abandoned him. It’s packaged as the secret to his success.

Fears that an escalation of the conflict could heighten a fuel squeeze & endanger the economy unnerved traders, with NYT reporting Iran stopped negotiating a truce with the US.
French newspaper La Tribune earlier last week indicated that UAE withdrew from deal to fund EUR 3.5 billion. India is looking to order 114 new Rafales, which could include the F5.
China patiently invested capital, skill and technology in coal gasification. Unlike it, we won’t move from words to action. As crude prices decline, we lose interest.
Alcohol and tobacco are a part of human civilisation. Right from a King to a beggar, every one drinks alcohol. Most doctors booze and smoke weed. It is their money, their health, and their choice. Intelligent and unintelligent people smoke and drink. Even children do it. A family known to me have normalised them to such an extent that doing them in front of their toddler is just like breathing oxygen and drinking water. Caste doesn’t matter. Upper caste drunkards and dalit teetotallers exist. Women do it more than men. Just go to a women’s public toilet, it will be filled with smoke of tobacco/ weed. Only the point of view differs—one may see it from caste angle, another may give two hoots to it. That toddler of today will most likely become a smoker and a drunkard in future thinking it is normal. Like how most women have normalised obesity, alcohol and tobacco are also normal.
Do you actually want to see a caste blind society ? I don’t think you want to. You don’t bring any data whatsoever to show that there are more alcohol shops in Dalit area then in other areas.
Dude are you going to blame caste for porn addiction tomorrow ? Seriously what is this shit ? They all depend on these anecdotes and BS victimhood epistemology to soothe themselves.
No one gives a damn in an urban space about your caste, how many kids (urban) in today’s generation have you seen talking about caste ? You will cling on to it even if you become a millionaire because you need something to blame the society instead of blaming yourself.
I was seeing this video of a girl from the dharavi slums who is trying to become a model. She literally became the face of a luxury brand – forest essentials. You know what will happen when people like her might have a fall in her life ? You will go and pull her down by blaming this society instead of saying “pick yourself up”. Man I hope she doesn’t meet your kind who are so depressing.
To finally break your argument completely- what about the Jews ? They are most persecuted group on this planet. No one comes to close to their suffering. Dalit activists would love to see themselves as that kind of victims but you are not.
Jews are the most successful community in this planet. So why are you not successful like the Jews, given that historically you have not gone through anything similar to them.
Dalit community will continue to fail because of people like you who don’t want to give them light. If you had actually made it about beating the society instead of blaming it, maybe you would have not have to sitting here and making shitty articles about “alcohol” which is drank by everyone.
I wrote this long comment because I just want this identity BS to end in this country.
The issues of Dalit sugarcane cutters, needs to be addressed. Much of this is caused by govt patronizing sugarcane unconditionally. That’s why, we need farm laws.

Next up – liver cirrhosis checks caste documents. This is what happens to fanatics of identity.
