The real problem isn't reservations. It’s that our country doesn't have enough opportunities for bright students in general. Take NEET as an example: in 2023, over 2.1 million students competed for just 120,000 MBBS seats. That's less than 6% of applicants getting in. Even if reservations didn't exist, the majority of students (from all categories) would still miss out. What we really need is more seats, better colleges, and accessible resources for everyone because removing reservations won't magically solve the problem. Reservations aren't about unfair advantages, the literacy rate for SCs is 66.1% and for STs it's 58.4%, compared to 82.2% for upper castes. Without reservations, these inequalities would only deepen. I know it can feel frustrating when someone with a lower score gets in, but we have to consider the systemic hurdles marginalized students face. Most NEET qualifiers (over 85%) come from private coaching institutes, which many SC/ST students simply can't afford. And even with reservations, they make up less than 15% of students in top institutions like ITs and AllMS, despite having a 22.5% quota. That tells you how much harder they have to fight to even get there. Rather than targeting reservations, we should push for real solutions: more seats, better colleges, and equal access to resources. Blaming marginalized groups for a broken system only distracts from the real problem.
@@dontmisimi you can't just assume that many of us (upper caste) come from private coaching institutes. And what about fees?? Reservation is not a problem there it seems?? We have to literally pay 7-8 lakhs upfront and lower caste can get admitted into top universities with a lower score and paying in what 1000 rupees? These entrance exams are there because of the Indian mass population. More than 65% of the population is st/sc if you are so poor why do these people have so many kids if they can't afford kids. Look at China the Gaokao exam is the most difficult in the world and there are no reservations That's why China's economy is going to cross the USA in some estimated years. I really appreciate how you said we need more resources as the entire Indian education system is rigid.. but again you were saying how it's difficult for them to get into colleges l mean yes it is but our (upper caste) chances are even less than 1%???
@@dontmisimi l also don't have time to reply to your shit everytime.. you are here as a political speaker so kindly mind your language if you can't take a opinion from someone that's your problem
It takes courage for a 20 something to talk about her caste openly, especially when media stays mum and parents tell you keep your mouth shut about it forever. We need more people like you who wear their caste as a badge of honor. In my opinion, this video is more relatable than an upper class Brahmin lecturing people about casteism.
@@khanshiranyor3974 u really need to get out there and see for yourself, the people from upper castes has been doing it all these years .and yet I haven't seen anyone from lower caste talking openly about it like her.
Casteism is deeply rooted in indian culture and history but over the years it's meaning has been morphed to support the narratives of political campaigns and for creating an illusion of superiority over the others. There are a lot of minorities who still need the reservation as a means of economic upliftment but the general public need a deeper level of understanding of the same. Kudos to you for discussing this matter
Most caste-politics are about freebies, though? The majority of India isn't upper caste, and the majority isn't as educated or financially well off. There have been systemic problems for centuries, but appealing to vote banks with freebies is a slippery slope. The most caste-superiority politics is done by OBC jaats, ironically.
This is so my experience. I am sc with a changed surname and preparing for NEET. My friends on the other hand have no idea about my caste and I often hear them passing casteist remarks and stating how unfortunate they are to be born in an upper caste family. It used to break my heart and I always thought that I'll be taking something away from them if I get selected and they didn't. I discussed it with my father as well and all though he is a DSP yet he faces discrimination from his seniors and folks and he told me to take up every opportunity that I get to make my career. I know that I'll never be able to tell my friends about my caste because of my fear of judgement and discrimination. Edit: Let me adress a few things here for people who don't understand my point. Even if reservation is removed, 98% of you general caste peeps still won't get a government college but I yet don't see enough people holding the government accountable. Although I do understand student's frustration but removing reservation will still keep you frustrated plus you'll have no one to bash when you don't get selected. You're never truly gonna understand caste based discrimination until you are someone from a marginalized category. Having financial success does not mean a person is entirely free from caste-based discrimination. Like I mentioned my father facing discrimination, my uncle's office colleagues not wanting to eat at his house, my cousin sister who wanted to be identified as who she is but latter changed her surname because of the bullying in school are just few examples of discrimination amongst the so called "creamy layered" society. And don't even get me started about 'ch*mar' being an offensive swear word thrown around by people just so casually as if it's not someones literal caste. If it wasn't for reservation I would wouldn't even be able to speak up in front of upper caste people. Not being able to open up about my caste to my friends was less about NEET and more about the fear of being looked down upon and social segregation. Many of you might argue that you'll never discriminate but I can't help but notice caste being mentioned everywhere, from nasty but huge influencers like Rajat Dalal to Instagram bio mentioning "proud kshatriya". Don't get me wrong it's great that you're proud of who you are but then why are you making me feel so inferior that my only way out is to change my identity. I hope that I made myself clear and if you just wanna talk about reservation and never caste discrimination then you can cry about it forever. Even foreigners see and sometimes even mock India for it's rigid caste system (like pewdiepie) but Indians are still either participating in it or just being downright ignorant. If you're still pissed about NEET then hate the game, not the player.
i understand and i was warned against the same because people have such fixed mentalities but it will reveal a lot about “friends” around you. people who know you will know how capable you are, they will respect you beyond stupid things like caste. you don’t need to justify and tell them a sob story about your family’s experiences for them to have basic empathy towards you. be proud of what you are and thats how things will change. it’s the least we can do for the people who have suffered before us and are still suffering.
understand their situation too, you're talking about NEET, which is hell for general category peeps, even 650+ isn't enough nowadays, whereas for SC/ST peeps, even 400 is enough to get in. now obviously, the cutoffs are low because most SC/ST peeps are not in good conditions, but yes, the ones which are, get an unfair advantage, which the general students are frustrated about. i understand this problem very well, by changing surnames, you may avoid some of the remarks you may get, but on the other hand, that leaves no meaning to the "reservation is for representation" agenda, if you can't stand for yourself. all in all, our country has flaws, nothing can be done. edit: (just so y'all know, i'm a general category male)
so many capable students shouldn’t be fighting over a mere number of seats to begin with. it’s not the fault of SC/ST students but the lack of accessible higher education and infrastructure in general. the pressure should be on the government to create more opportunities instead of hating on lower caste students who are literally changing their surnames and identities to not face discrimination. general category students often benefit from cultural capital, access to better guidance, mentorship, and preparatory resources that SC/ST students typically lack. this unseen advantage is rarely acknowledged in such discussions.
ur father is a dsp which means reservation has served its purpose and no way in hell should u be given reservation....but here we are.....u justifying reservation cuz u hear some of the boys in ur class saying 'xyz' truth is no amount of reservation will be of anyuse to you till u suffer from this debilitating case of lack of confidence. Know that even if u end up becoming a doctor cuz of reservation it will always be cuz of reservation and u will never be as good as the general candidates who worked hard and got the seat despite leaches like you
I'm ST and in my dad's village, they still have separate wells for the "superior" castes. 2024, people! These privileged folks love to be activists when the topic is reservation while ignoring centuries of oppression. Reservation isn't about freebies; it's about representation. Even white people are owning up to racism done by their ancestors in past, when will upper castes do it ?? Stop pretending casteism doesn't exist.and i love u girl for speaking about this you're brave 🩵🩷 and loving the meltdown happening in comment section 😭
So are the blacks in europe getting reservation? Reservation will only further increase castism. N the well thing where do u live under a cave or what girl?. I'm not against reservation but it should be given according to economic conditions giving in name of caste is absurd. I had never known much bout caste untill i came in 11th i used to eat in everyone's tiffin I'm brahman my st sc ex friends of highschool with cars n bikes getting reservation made me learn more n not be friends with freebies. If u are poor i get u. But giving it on name of caste will do nothing. Those who support reservation on basis of caste deserve to get treated by the doctor of their caste n get their house made that freebie engineer then u guys will understand. Also africans faced apartheid commonly were enslaved they get no reservations neither do the jews who were tortured over their identity of being jews bt Christians Muslims as well as boue eyes germans ofcourse yk what i mean. Where is reservation for them? Indians still r called pajeets n mocked round world will u ask reservation frim the world? And lastly ur god bhim rao ambdekar himself made reservations for specific time duration politicians r using y'll for their own intrests it may help u in short term but it's not gonna develop the nation entirely. Also if u think reservation is given to u for what u faced then u must be clown. St meaning schedule tribes they don't marry outside their caste/village either might do inbreeding sometimes instead. They get reservation for uplifting themselves not bc they r poor. And lastly brahmans are only 5% only 3% of us follow same caste marriage maximum. Do u really think in 2024 with u having more political rights then us we can bully you? N should i face for what my anncestors did? If i might fave then why don't i mock u while facing it all😂 And historically speaking many of the caste in sc were lost soldiers of history who were sent to exile or ordered to stay in corner of the villages by the order of king who won. N ST SC have bigg population thus they come out to be more poor otherwise u should visit jammu n moutain states there st sc or anyone all r well built beautiful people
All Thanks to Gandhi. Instead of removing the caste system and implementing the death penalty. He adds a reservation so that it remains forever. 60% of doctors can't do the same job as 100%. Our all gov dept, edu, rail, medical, pwd, court doomed. Equal representing for what? how to mesh all systems!! All we need is to remove caste and reservation and provide free education only for low-income families (sc/st/gen). Separate court and police force(specialize not danda wala) for rape mob lynching and caste discrimination. Create a zone-wise map where more of these things happen like the corona zone and add more force. Of course population control. With a 10k salary get 3 children and cry about your poor situation !! hell no.
@@Pandeyziipandit Shut up go outside casteism is there myself have faced it Also don't talk about what white people did which they oppress we make our own rules shendi shut up the adivasis are more fit then your 500 kilo brahmins doing poojas .
I am a Rajput, most of my close friends are Brahmins and Rajputs. This was sheer coincidence, we became friends first and asked each other's castes like years later. A friend of ours, a very studious one at that, achieved almost 100% in all the exams he tried, be it competitive or school exams. Later I got to know he's from a lower caste, but the man wanted to prove himself and he did. That he got in on merit 100%, no special treatment, Really surprised me that he was driven to prove himself so bad, can't imagine the remarks he had heard. Not from us, anyway. Still a close friend to this day.
I wish I was like him. I also want prove that I can do it without any advantage. I can understand concepts but I am not able to score. Thankfully my friends do not talk about caste and sh*t at least in front of me. I am studying in good school so that can be a reason. I am really grate full that I got supportive parents specially my father who is professor. As long as I don't talk about my caste everything will go smooth. Right now no one has insulted me on basis of caste and I hope it continues this way and work hard like my upper caste friends (this is first time I have yapped about my caste in internet because of your video).
love your videos, as someone who got good marks 96% in 12th grade and due to my obc reservation, I was able to make it to one of the best economics college in the country. But I saw a sudden shift in the attitude of my other friends as they couldn''t get into top colleges. One even proceed to say that if he were me, he would have never taken admission through reservation. Mind you, I am the first generation woman from my family who even get to go to college. In our country, women from backward classes are more suppressed than men from same caste because patriarchy:)
"In our country, women from backward classes are more suppressed than men from same caste because patriarchy", wtf? women in general are suppressed than men . this has nothing to do with "backward or upper caste".
Lol who was chandragupta morya n chola empire is joke to h? There were not upper caste n women of every caste were quite same. N read some history girl there has been enough of brave women from st sc bruh meh what a victim mentality u have. And by the way u are Choudhary ur people r known to be pridey u guys don't feel discrimination thank god u took onc because my choudhary rich friends even took st sc💀 reservation how can i stay same with her like wtf? She is tall n fair have good house cars yet how could she take sc reservation 💀?
@@ankansenapati3600exactly. Only brhamans r mocked n left accountable for we r 5% n we get mocked for being castist while other caste who themselves won't marry into different caste enjoy mild life😂
absolutely real, when i tell my friends that its STILL being practiced they are like nah we are genzs why would anyone discriminate blah blah but there are SO MANY PEOPLE WHO OPENLY DISCRIMINATE IN OUR CLASS BASED ON CASTE. one of them went "humara khoon toh kshatiryon ka hai whyd we even be friends with sc sts" ???????? Once one of them hatesd this guy for being a teachers pet toh she went "pakka sc st ka hoga mai toh inke kareeb bhi na jau"...and the reservation thing especially people dont consider ki sc st people do get in on the basis of merit as well! Whenever any sort of puja is done, my parents would call themselves lower caste and avoid touching the pandit directly. In the villages of my parents side, being an sc st our community people live at the very end of the village and no one of the upper caste would enter that side. My parents never told my about our caste until i got to know myself and asked about it, I was told not to tell anyone about it. At that time i thought no one could care less about my caste, but i was so wrong. Being rich or poor only affects how openly one is discriminated, if poor youll def be openly targeted and if not people will talk about it behing ur back, either ways u will be discriminated.
Just because some people discriminate based on caste does not mean that you were denied the same education and opportunities as the general students of your class. It's like saying that I was bullied in school because of my darker skin so I should get a reservation... Social discrimination is a sad reality, I agree. But the fact is that discrimination did not lead to opression or denial in education or opportunity. Hence the preferential treatment of reserved castes in selection in higher education and jobs create a unfair playing ground where students with same kind of education are treated differently, hence igniting more discrimination based on reservation and the sense of unfair unequality it gives to the SCs. the village experience you mentioned, I agree is a reality too. But not in Urban India, The above paragraph is in relation to the Urban Indian context, as for the Rural Indian context, I wholeheartedy agree that for the social and economic upliftment of Rural India and the SCs of Rural India, Proper reservations should be given to them because there the discrimination often penetrates their rural schools. But also a wider reservation must also be given to the economically weaker classes of India, because as you said discrimination is open in economically weak societies, where it starts to translates into opressive exclusionary acts. But to equate that with the discrimination of urban India is simply unequal and unjust since in urban settings it's a discrimination that never translates to anything, equal opportunity and education stays.
@@dewy_droplets that's the same as saying jail all men, because majority of criminals are men. But hardly 2 percent of the total male population are criminals
@@mr.d3051 I understand some of your perspective, but caste-based discrimination is deeply rooted and persists even in urban contexts, often in subtle tho impactful ways. Discrimination isn’t just about overt denial of education or opportunities; it even includes systemic and societal barriers that hinder confidence, integration, and access to informal networks critical for growth. Urban India may provide the same textbooks, but the psychological and social setbacks caused by exclusionary attitudes are significant. Reservations aim to address centuries of structural exclusion, not just immediate discrimination. They work to LEVEL a playing field where generational privilege still influences who gets access to opportunities and the influence of the upper caste in high positions. It’s also important to note that many SC/ST individuals succeed on merit, yet they are unfairly labeled as “beneficiaries of reservation,” which perpetuates stigma. Framing reservations as unfair overlooks their role in correcting systemic inequities and risks fueling resentment, which worsens the very discrimination they seek to reduce. Instead, I feel we gotta focus on addressing inequities without undermining the progress made through these policies.
@@CiskoLunar-mk3yw The "jail all men" analogy doesn’t fit here because caste discrimination isn’t about isolated actions but deeply ingrained biases that still exist-even among Gen Z. As you pointed out, people openly discriminate in class and beyond, making judgments based on caste regardless of merit or economic status. Reservations aren’t punishment but a way to level the field for communities that still face systemic bias. It’s not about individuals; it’s about fixing a larger issue.
We were taught. We were TAUGHT that casteism is a thing of the past. I belong to an "upper caste" family / surname, hence because I never experienced casteism and my friends, majority of whom were in the same social strata as me, genuienly believed it to have gone out of power for a long long time. But the stats don't lie. Unfortunately most people even around me refuse to acknowledge this even with the info provided. I was living in ignornace for 18 years and more. 18 YEARS?!!!
same i am from general but my cousin is SC we are of same age and his economic condition is bit better than me . We are good buddies but at a below level I was jealous of him because he had an upper hand both financially and reservation wise and I always used to argue that if the govt. was that concerned about people they should just give reservations to people who are financially weaker thinking that this inequality doesn’t exist because I used to ask him if he faced any and he said no but now seeing that infact this discrimination still exists shocks me in majority parts of India .

So glad to see more people of our generation talking about casteism. It is such a deep rooted problem and avoided by those who don't directly experience the horrors it has inflicted. Being from a Malayali Christian family, I myself never came to realise the depths of casteism that is still prevalent. My family never covered caste or even most societal issues for that matter. But, as I grew up, seeing the unfairness of Indian society made me delve deeper into the topic and realise how much casteism still affects literally every single part of the country. Now, living in the center of Urban Bangalore, just seeing how almost all of the BBMP workers, who wake up early every morning to clean the shit, literal and metaphorical, that the urban upper caste throw out every day are of lower caste, it makes me realise that caste has never left us. It will never go away, until we develop an education system which properly tackles societal issues including casteism, and until the government develops better reforms to help aid those that truly suffer from the caste system.

dude ive literally never seen anyone talk about this or met anyone whose parents had given them a diff surname to shield them from casteism, like ive literally lied to so many people about why my surname is diff from my parents', dude this video healed something in me THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO
my cousins have diff surnames than their parents too. My surname makes ppl think I'm from maharashtra (for some reason) so i don't get discriminated as much
U are so true. All my life i have been told by my parents not to tell my caste to the people around me so that i don't have to face discrimination. It's also true that how much my fellow classmates used to talk about being proud of their caste and being told by their upper caste families to not sit or even talk with the lower caste people. Let alone the fact that i was in an ICSE school still i had to see all of this happening around me. Till this day i feel ashamed and my mind goes blank when someone asks me about my caste. The fear that i have is can't be described. Fear of losing the ones who were with me all these years is scary. But i am glad that i have also met few people who doesn't ask me about my caste two minutes in to the conversation , and just loves me for who i am. And Just to show u what living in india being from a lower caste feels like - me and my family lives in a Punjabi colony ( No hate to all the Punjabis out there but what i am going to say is not really Just about you ) so people in my colony always avoid talking with us . Specially the aunties , they always make my mom feel very excluded from all the kitty parties , evening walks, they even avoid talking with my mum . Like just being sweet in front of her but never wanting to include her like a normal human. Not only this but I have heard countless stories from my mother of her being discriminated throughout her life. My mother is is well educated and now she is a teacher, but one thing that is different between my mum and these people is that my mother always teach her students to never discriminate , treat everyone equally no matter the gender or colour. It's really not about the caste it's about the kind of person u are.
i feel like caste is not talked abt much (how discrimination is still rampant) all i heard was how things are so much better and trust me most ppl are still ignorant. we need to keep having these conversations. soo glad u made a video abt it. lots of love

Casteism on the Indian internet at least wasn't as common in the early days (i.e. 2019 and before) The democratization of the internet brought the most regressive illiterate people online.
Fr, been using internet since MTNL days and Indian internet communities weren't this toxic. Jio revolution should've never happened. No wonder why we get cooked so bad in the rest of the world
It was always there, earlier people used to have shame and they were good at masking the casteism but due to emergence of dark humor and dank memes everyone became comfortable showing their true side and hence the casteist memes.
@@cocaa_colaaa you're right, a lot of Instagram comments are predatory towards minors and I can guarantee at least 30% of these people are masking their true identity beneath "Dark Humor" Another thing is these people genuinely tweak out when you make fun of God or the military (they suddenly hate dark humor now)
The sad part is the big companies and govt never take these seriously. Make a joke on religion and you're immediately behind bars. Make a joke on someone's caste/gender you're cool.
Earlier before jio, broadband internet was a luxury and there weren't many lower caste people on the internet anyways, so there was nothing to be casteist against online.
I am ST student and was a one of the top students of my school, in music, academics and sports as well. Nobody would say anything about my caste but whenever there were discussion about jee, they would say, abe tera to jaega yaar kyu padh rha and so on. It would literally make me think what do they think deep inside their heart cuz they are studying their ass off
But talking about my parents, both are government servents and they do face racism in workplace, my father doesn't share it with me but with my mom, and my mom tells me everything. My cousin who is currently preparing for state psc tells everyone that he is obc cause everyone in the coaching including teacher make fun of st and sc
When I was selected for JNV, my art teacher also passed a racist remarks about us in 6th grade but none of them understood and I did. He literally said that they we have less brain but in a manipulate way, I still remember it
But when I was in senior grades, most of my friends we're so open minded about religion and casteism, I think most of them didn't mean it when they would say, abe mat padh ho jaega tera, our class topper was rajput and he and me were the best duo of our school, cuz we were almost similar

The funny thing is caste discrimination will never leave India. Even if the entire lower caste population disappears (hypothetically), some other caste would take the lable of being the new 'Lower Caste'. Humans just need a reason to discriminate among themselves. Caste discrimination/reservation is never a issue of economic status, it's a issue of morality.
Discrimination exist everywhere humans r creatures who love to feel superiors. There r enough of brittishers who believe on their aryan history n mock indian 24/7 n other raves they call us ugly n weak make fun of every asians wid small eyes or small height its a way of castism too.

this video was very much needed!! as a person who's studying in a school with all these "upper caste" people and has to listen to "discussion" about caste that is shallow and biased on a daily basis., this video was a breath of fresh air
@@SHAKTI_MANshe is taking hot n debatable topics to get more comments n engagement look at her old vids they r worth nothing hehe bro jus trynna be famous. With half baked information
I'm from OBC I didn't knew about caste system until I moved to India from abroad. Because in school it was quite prevelant to ask about caste for admission, exams etc. When I was abroad we barely know about caste it was just Indians regardless of caste. Caste discrimination will be wiped out only if caste system is removed from India. But no political party has balls to remove caste system from India since it is good for their vote bank politics. Reservation won't solve the issue as its been 70+ years already & there aren't much changes in the society. Discrimination won't exist if other people don't know the caste of other person. Ban caste from matrimonial sites, educational institutions, caste surnames etc. Then we will have real changes. Financial assistance should be given to economically backward families instead. Else we are already witnessing brain drain in India due to many smart talents moving abroad.
I agree with you. the reservation system in educational institutions had led to a cycle of discrimination and hatred wherein the lower caste get benefits due to discrimination and the upper caste discriminate against them because they are favoured and the so the cycle continues.
Mannnn! This video is actually relatable, I've faced many similar situations like that , when I was in class 3rd I asked my dad what is the meaning of "caste" and why they are filling SC in the diary column then my dad told it was some kind of code used in address just to avoid telling what it is, and my dad told me to never tell my caste to anyone. I was like okt you know curiosity, I asked my tuition teacher " Didi, what's your caste? Are you SC" and then she replied "Chi.... we are not that people, we are clean people I'm pure Brhamin" and from that day I understood why I have to keep it as a secret. Fast forward Highschool, you know during admission of 11th grade they ask for caste and percentage. Then friends peeped into form and they said " WHATT!?? You are Sc??!! But bro you are very good at academics and even scored 90 percent, how can you be a SC? you don't look like one." Then from that they used to mock me for my caste, ...and friendship didn't last long. I really really appreciate you for making this video. I know you would be facing outrage and trolling for this video, but don't care about those people. Keep pushing forward! You're doing an incredible job, and your videos on engaging topics are precious. Stay motivated and keep sharing your creativity with the world! 🙌✌✨
girl trust me people will say and drag you left and right with hate and false prespectives they will bring there one incident of life and will try to prove u wrong, shut ur voice down in the name of being dank and dark humor but u just don't stop seriously keep going girl internet needs more opinionated girls like you who stay head strong on there opinions.
I am SC and i live in Tripura,let me tell you what happened with me,when i was 9 years old there was a baisnav seva in our Village,i touched the baisnav when i was playing and he was eating,he got up and went out took cow dung and mixed with water and sprinkled on her,no one said nothing,we are not allowed to go near the Durga puja bhog or touch the pandit directly while he was doing puja,when we moved to the city ,the house owner wont drink even water from our house,thats the condition we are living in i am very eager to leave the country and settle abroad,i have lost belief in both my religion and my country.
its understandable for you to loose faith in your believes but i warn you dont take up a new one.. other faiths are more cruel than your previous one if you deep dive into it
According to Bagavadgita whoever did this kind of discriminatory act to you is the real Ignorant shoodra (untouchable - who can't able to reach his divinity(higher Consiousness like buddha) ) Kings/dictator/politicians use people ignorance to divide and rule them cast is one of that ignorance.
honestly speaking, my both parents have a very stable government job thanks to reservation but despite that they get discriminated against other employees rather directly or indirectly and the thing is you can't even do anything about it thankfully when we moved (it's a tier 2 city) it was a lot better considering the people of my caste were way common here than in my hometown. And also there was this one time we got rejected from renting a house just because of our caste and my parents had always taught me never to tell my surname untill it's specified abd just go with Kumar/Kumari just for the sake to avoid castism
This is exactly what I mean when I say reservation is only making casteism worse, You expect people to be nice to you after knowing you barely tried for the job they put their blood sweats and tear to get.
The MAIN problem: There is NO GENERAL SEAT RESERVATION, ITS OPEN SEAT ( MEANS ANYONE GEN ST SC OBC CAN GET IT ) generals are many times offended because they also want equal pedestral, cause suppose 70 percent is reserved, then 30 percent is open in also which ST SC OBC can get seats but general cannot.
so do you think we should have reservation for every category? Go and look up the % of people in general category. And go and read the reason why reservation is given. And one more thing, there isn't 70 % reservation, not in atleast the state i live(gujarat), and there are some states with such reservation, but there is reserved seats for some other category people also. And if you are gonna count 10% EWS seats and women category, then you should know that those are not on main seats but there are more seats added for such categories.
Thats only in theory, most general seats are always filled by generals and plus you have ews too. SC have 15% reservation, their population is more than that, ST have 7% reservation their population is more than that, OBC have 27% reservation and their population is double of that. I dont think any reserved category is eating generals pie. Its all about representation and also dont forget EWS
As an upper cast ,I agree casteism exists in India. But how is it fair to give reservation to already rich st/sc people? What kind of compensation is this? How is that gonna fix anything?!? Thats just unfair to us?!? Why are you geeting a reservation w a lower grade than me when I am the one w less money here.....? And I didnt even do anything?!? I was never mean to someone w a lower caste. Infact I didnt even care about all this until I found out about reservation...So yall also cant deny that your cast benefits you too.
Not being mean to someone from the lower caste is the bare minimum ma'am. I get where you are coming from, seeing someone getting lower grades and still get into your dream uni, but even then you cannot deny the fact that people from low caste are being discriminated against even in todays world.. Just because you didn't see that happening doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Reservations exist for a reason, India before (and still is) was very biased towards the upper caste, there was a time when people from lower caste couldn't even touch the upper caste, let alone get the same opportunities as them, can you imagine how it would feel?
@ananyanair2182 But reservation isnt the solution to discrimination tho??? Like is it stopping anything ?NO. So why is it still going on? Only the economically backwards should get reservation not the rich ones.bevause liek I said earlier,WHAT KIND OF COMPENSATION IS THIS?
@ananyanair2182 Reservation only make people more casteist .Most upper caste youth doesnt even care about all this bs of hierarchy in caste and all.But they will still pass on casteist remarks to let their frustration out.
Start marrying in lower castes, the scenario will change. The same people who complain about reservations, wouldn't marry their children to lower caste officers.
is casteism a problem in India: YES is reservation unfair: YES All credit goes to the people who started this cycle of casteism which led to reservation and then led to hate because they have a reservation law, nowadays most of casteism I see is "They take the seat", it isn't much about the blood thing at least in urban areas
@@ツAnshツ tell me a single good thing which reservation has done since it was introduced in india . Also some examples of these reserved students being on a post of power in private companies
Caste is a fake problem rich people invented to seem oppressed. They are a majority in a democratic country and their traditional jobs have become very easy to get and very lucrative.
A friend of mine narrated an incident wherein his so-called upper caste colleague berated another so-called lower caste colleague saying, " At home, we won't even share the same table with the likes of you". Hopefully, awareness would root out casteism someday.
@@Vk9970-p3bbecause if there was no reservation then lower caste people won't have the chances to earn money they have right now. Like the person said how the upper class treated his colleague shows he is just tolerating the person because of reservation system.
i want to thank you for talking about this cuz i've never seen someone talk about it so open mindedly. im grateful i found your channel, i relate to it a lot and this video is just the one where i felt like "is she talking bout me?" lol
Sorry for the upcoming rant you're about to witness. I am a 17 yr old guy in 11th grade from Jharkhand(which is a tribal state) , and since the day everyone found out that there's a thing called reservation(T_T) they started to just joke about it everyday, it was fine at first until the " Chamaar, dalit, stuff, yk how it goes. I am not even from this religion, my family follows sarna which is a tribal religion worshipping nature ( that's pretty chill). It feels ironic getting discriminated by outsiders in ur own indigenous land but ok. I was always the best in maths and science related stuff in my school and my classmates often complimented for it, but now they just say "why do u need this u are ST🤡" (I don't, I am not gonna jse reservation) I belong from an affluent family (top 3-5%) but they don't care about money when they see the caste I guess lol. This also made me just hate religious people(judge me if u want, but they're the one doing this so what else should I do? )
Very rational point tbrf. despite people claiming there's no casteism, you can certainly see a discriminatory undertone when some people speak about topics like reservations, creamy layer. Belonging to a relatively priveleged background and living in Mumbai, i wasn't exposed to all this, until i started being active on social media..(faced racism here which is altogether a different topic).
I was not expecting much from this video by a someone around my age, till i watched. As i saw the title my mind went "oh girlie, you sure you wanna talk about??" But damn, though short, but you covered several topics and this is not a easy tppic to talk about, especially to urbanite gen z audience who were taught a out caste prejuidice as a thing of past (tbh must of us were sleeping in those social sci classes) and like to whine "caste based reservation is useless, let's remove it", the bare % of a majority group (bahujans) you see in schools/institutes is very much because of caste based reservation, if it wasn't for reservation, you would NEVER have a president from Adivasi because casteism is sooo darn strong and normative. Reservations is basically there to unsure the represention of a the chunk of Indian population which it has been denied for 2000+ years. Hats off to you @dontmisimi for sharing your own part of the story, it js definitely not easy to speak about this to a gen z audience, especially as a person who herself is from the very background
I discovered what castism is like im college fr. To me, its insane how people, people we look up to or people who i assumed to be wise and old can so easily discriminate on the basis of where you were born, its like logic and morals just left the chat. My own parents discriminate, and when i questioned/challenged these opinions they would just mellow it out saying "you wont understand now, just know youre lucky '
I hope that made u realise that reservation can get u college easily but won't finish castism. So reservation is not helping. Alone education can help to finish castism N if u think st sc r poor then welcome to economic based reservation
Being a ST category man, I just used to think (in school) that why people leave me after knowing my last name. And people say there's no casteism in 2024. Lol.
Good to see younger folk talking about such issues. Caste cannot be eradicated only by reservation. Social dialogue like this is also equally important. Keep up the good work.
This was a good video. This country really hates conversation about this. You shared your experience about your friends otherizing you when it came to reservations and entrance exams, I have people who I called friends once completely alienate me and they did not hesitate to verbally call out my "privilege", it was so strange, I knew that would happen but it still sucked. Choose your friends wisely, work on yourself !
I'm upper caste poor guy. N when i got to know of reservation in 11th n they mocked my dad once i left them too. They were rich yet took st sc reservation i still don't know which category does Choudhary come in but few of choudhary friends took st sc reservation instead of obc. Rich st sc obc Don't deserve reservation. Thats major reason of college dropouts
as a sindhi teen from general category, I'm glad Sindhi Hindus, atleast in India have never adhered to the caste system or maybe some do, idk. maybe it's because of the incredibly low population of us in india but i digress. growing up, we never had caste discussions in our household but ig my family, unfortunately is against the caste based reservations because identifying ourselves by "caste" is such an alien thing for sindhi hindus. we tend to bond over our language and ethnicity only. i still dont know nor care if I'm a brahmin or kshatriya or vaishya whatever lol. thank you sm misimi for making a video on such an important yet neglected topic like this.
Sindhis do have communities, but they’re more like sedentary tribes than “castes” because Sindh (and also Punjab) are peripheral regions where brahmanical authority is not that strong. Many of these Punjabi and Sindhi tribes like Khatris, Jatts, Kambojas actually migrated from further north in Central Asia or Afghanistan after the establishment of the Varna system in the sub-continent. They don’t traditionally have any position in the “caste” hierarchy but some, like Khatris, accepted brahmanical authority later on, for which they got a “Kshatriya status” despite being merchants by profession. Irony is, the most casteist group, Rajputs, are actually composed of peasants and tribals who managed to acquire land and accepted brahmanical authority. The Brahmins gave them “Kshatriya” status and made up imaginary lineages connecting them to actual kings who were called Rajput (son of King).
Growing up, I didn't really know much about caste, but I was always aware that my parents' relatives were poor. My father had the opportunity to work in the central government thanks to reservations. I didn't face much discrimination because of his hard work, but I still heard remarks like, "Tujhe toh achi college mil jayegi", when applying for colleges. I got into a really good college in Gujarat, but that's when I started feeling outcast. Our roll numbers were assigned based on merit; with a total strength of over 300, the students were divided into five groups. The first two groups were those who got into the college through JEE, and groups 3 and 4 were those who got in through ACPC/Gujcet. I was in group 4. I often heard my juniors make fun of people from groups 3&4 for not knowing proper English, as most were from the Gujarat state board. Even though I was a CBSE student, hearing those comments was very humiliating. Throughout my life, people kept asking me what kind of "Patel" I was, only for me to realize later that they were actually asking about my caste. I can't really complain much-I had a privileged life thanks to my dad. But sometimes, I'm reminded of the differences when I see others living the kind of life I might have had if my family's background were different. Great video, though! I would like to add a few things about how we can see casteism on social media, too. People from lower backgrounds are often labeled "chapri" and are constantly mocked for the way they dress and present themselves. A lot of it might seem cringey, but calling something "cringe" and calling it "chapri" are very different, in my opinion.
You used reservation to get into a college you didn't deserved, snatched someone else's seat who must have been way better than you, and now you cry that they don't put in a pedestal in your college and they divide based on merit why won't they?? You want reservation in everyday life as well as much as you can right ???? Way to create an inefficient nation.
Your videos are too good and bold. Love your content and the fact that you neither commented on any caste or if someone's behavior is right or wrong and left the audience to see the right or wrong is appreciable
I am a Dalit with Economic Capital but have Zero Social or Cultural Capital in Indian Society like the Savarnas have, I really liked Your Content!!❤ Please make a video and talk about the non-expressional and non-verbalized Casteism and Caste-based Discrimination that constantly happens in Urban India in different manners either consciously or unconsciously and please also talk about the Ghettoization of Areas or Housing Societies in a City of the Particular Caste or Varna which is based on the Segregatation of so-called Upper Castes and the so-called Lower Castes in Urban India. Houses are also not given for buying or renting based on caste in urban India Please take up and raise this Discourse with Staunchness of Caste Based Discrimination and Castesim from a Logical and Intellectual Arsenal of B.R Ambedkar's Point of View and from the Ambedkarite Movement which is currently going on in India from past 75 Years! As Babasaheb has said "The history of India is a history of mortal conflict between Buddhism and Brahmanism." Jai Bhim! Namo Buddhay!!✊✊🙌
you will never know the pain of studying every fucking day for two whole years of your life knowing that some people who won't score the same as you do get a seat while you're left with nothing. throwing around random percentages without mentioning a source? be fr w yourself
I am an sc student, and I've felt guilty for so long because I got into iit, and my friends with better scores didn't. being in an iit, I've always felt so dumb compared to my counterparts, but apparently, there is hidden casteism that happens even here. reservation is definitely needed, but I also understand the hate a general student with a good score might feel for losing out . I loved your video; please keep coming up with more.
Atleast you are understanding where the hate and despise is coming from,, reservation is based on punishing bramhins for what there ancestors did centuries ago it's the same as say your great grandfather commited a crime but now since he is no more here govt puts you in jail and says your grandfather did so and so which sounds ridiculous but reservation is even worse than that
@@Sneha-fh3uh fool casteism is there in iit's because of reservation. I myself is a jee aspirant and never cared about caste at all until I came to to know about the cutoff of you people in jee due to reservation. Now I very much hate you victim card players and reservation call be castiest all you want but it is true. Reservation has made many lakhs of students like me a casteist
Atleast u are sensitive but hey don't u realise why is there a hint of castism in IIT education helped the world africans who faced apartheid but why not india? Because we are giving reservation on caste not in economics conditions thus it is polarization even more....
Moste of the other cast students started to have SC/ST because of the discrimination in cutoff in higher education. Government and political raskals are playing mental game of devide and rule from classes.
Misimi could you please create a video exploring why India is often perceived as one of the worst countries to live in and why there seems to be racism towards India from people in other parts of the world? ❤ Also Excellent video! You’ve done a fantastic job of shedding light on the truth and presenting it so honestly. Truly appreciate your courage and effort in addressing such an important topic!
this was SO NEEDED, I (Sc) myself preparing for NEET see so many ppl only spazzing on reservations saying sc/st are as rich as general and stuff like that but fail to realize that reservations have never been about the lower caste being "financially" equal rather socially
Lmfaooo also so what if few sc's are rich and well to do, not to mention there might be sc's who are rich but rarely if not never a brahmin who is doing manual labour work like working to clean the streets etc... goes to show the proviledge tgey have as well lol
Then where is reservation for africans? Who were enslaved faced apartheid? What's this nonsense then? Where is reservation for ugly indians who get treated like shit in america?🙁 Where is reservation for slit eues chinease who get generalised for eating dogs even if only 5% of them eat😶 Where is reservation for jews? Where is reservation of kashmiri pandits?🙁
One thing I want to add. People who says castism only exist in rural india, just google castism in top companies in google, apple , netflix etc that to in USA. Because when upper caste go their they take their castist mindset with them.
Bruhh if congress doesnt have a parsi mp it doesn't mean congress doesn't support parsi's it just comes out to be that they don't have parsi mp. The same is with jobs just because it comes out to be that upper caste people are seated in good posts doesn't mean that they gone till there by Casteism
From a completely logical standpoint : people from "upper" castes have nothing to do with this shi. It's just that those people working for those companies have enough money to work abroad. I am half upper caste and I don't have the money to work or study abroad, yet I can't apply for FAIR scholarships without hoping someone less deserving got the scholarship just because they're lower so they get more pity from the education board. Why? What did I do? By your victim mindset, this isn't castism though is it? 🙂
The comment section makes me feel like I live outside India! Because I've never experienced such cast based discrimination in my 33 year life in West Bengal. Even in marriages cast is not a big deal, many intercaste marriages are happening here.
The actual solution is redistribution of property and breakdown of caste through educational programmes without the influence of parents who are still the people who indoctrinate children into caste the most. This is how other democracies ended the feudal hierarchy. Reservation is a bandaid. You don't want to solve the problem, you want to take off the bandaid.
Indian reservations were introduced as a **tool for social upliftment**, not primarily financial upliftment. They are aimed at addressing centuries of **social discrimination and inequality**, particularly the caste system, which marginalized certain communities like Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs). This systemic exclusion from education, employment, and political representation significantly hindered their ability to participate equally in society. ### Key Points to Highlight: 1. **Focus on Equality of Opportunity**: - Before reservations, marginalized communities were systematically excluded from educational institutions, government jobs, and societal privileges. The reservation policy was designed to level the playing field by **ensuring access to opportunities** that were previously denied. 2. **Educational Access**: - Reservation policies ensure that underprivileged communities have **access to quality education**, which empowers individuals to break the cycle of poverty and discrimination. Education leads to upward social mobility over generations, benefiting the community as a whole. 3. **Representation in Government**: - Historically, communities like SCs and STs had little to no representation in legislative bodies or government jobs. Reservations ensure **political and administrative representation**, giving these communities a voice in decision-making processes. 4. **Social Empowerment Over Financial Assistance**: - Reservations are not handouts but **affirmative action** to correct historical injustices. They do not provide direct financial assistance but create pathways to education and employment, leading to **self-sufficiency and empowerment**. 5. **Example of Impact**: - Studies and examples show that **first-generation beneficiaries** of reservation often lift entire families and communities. Their success inspires others to strive for education and employment, fostering **intergenerational progress**. 6. **Global Precedents**: - Affirmative action policies exist worldwide, including in the USA (for racial minorities), South Africa, and Brazil. These policies recognize that systemic inequalities require systemic solutions, similar to India’s reservation system. --- ### Addressing Criticisms: While some argue that reservations should be based on financial status, caste-based discrimination is independent of economic class. An economically well-off individual from a marginalized caste still faces **social stigma and barriers** that reservations seek to address. --- ### References: 1. [The Constitution of India: Articles 15 and 16 on reservations](legislative.gov.in) 2. Historical accounts of social reform movements by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar and Jyotirao Phule. 3. Reports from the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment on reservation impact. By emphasizing **social justice** over financial assistance, reservations ensure a more inclusive and equitable society.
Okay, I need to get smth out: Sc/st should convert to another religion because you can't just sit there and be discriminated for your love for this religion; Ask a lower-caste about how they feel about 'god-given inferiority'
@@dontmisimi but still in buddhism there no caste system in India except in newar buddhist caste system in nepal... btw i think atheism is the best thing
I'm from Bengal Our current maid is brahman in my area i never seen any cast problem everyone live peaceful we never seen people like that we are bengoli that's it
the reason was that a lot of barbers are actually from napit/nai caste and manual scavengers are mostly dalit which shows that the caste system is still going strong asf
Remove caste reservations, include economic reservations. General caste students like us, who are good but not rich, cannot go to private colleges. Yet the Richie richs can go to any college they wish for. Academically good SC/ST students are not my issue, cause they're hardworking. I HAVE A ISSUE WITH UNDESERVING CASTE STUDENTS. Thankyou
@dontmisimi didn't you even read my comment? Or are you trying to ignore what everyone's saying? Seems like you're too stubborn to accept the fact what everyone's trying to say. Kindly talk about the students who deserve a mediocre college but manage to get into good colleges just due to caste. Please talk about students who don't get govt colleges because waha toh 40% SC aur STs jayenge. Talk about students who've worked their ass off for a good college, but SCs toh pehle aa jaate hai! If you're a genuinely good student and from a decent background, you wouldn't need a caste certificate. Govt jobs mein SC/STs kaa jaldi promotion hota hai. Koi idea hai aapko?
The poor ones with reservation will never get hate. The hate is received by upper/upper-middle class people who still use their reservation certificates to get admissions or jobs, or even, scholarships. If my father earns 6-7 lakhs per annum, why tf would i need a scholarship(based on caste)? And what about a genuine general caste student who's father earns slightly more than the EWS quota, uska kya hoga? Wo kaise afford karega?
talking about being stubborn, did YOU even watch my video? i don’t need my experiences or my family’s experiences to be validated by you. and these things are already addressed in my pinned comment. it’s not like i expect you to understand anyway
@@dontmisimi EWS isn't the problem, i repeat. It's about your merit. You are SC/ST and you score 500 in some exam. Some other general candidate scores 550-600. Pata hai kiska selection hoga? SC/ST kaa.
Living in urban area i have to face casteism 😶 Im my school my Brahmin friends used to tell me how they are superior from other lower castes they would say it on my face Idk why they think they are superior as if they were created from some special part of the universe 😂😂
Thank you sooooo much for talking about this issue i have always observed the people around me doing the same things as you mentioned in your video , i am also sc but i was well off and studied in a good school and the first conception of caste was given to me by my cs teacher (not in a bad way) then some a classmate was saying something about my caste and overheard her and i realised that and i was broken i asked my mom obviously she tried to protect me and as i grow older , ended my entrance preps and im in college now still my classmates talk about it and i overhear them and it breaks me , im quite sensitive so i start to slowly distance myself if they speak minutely bad about caste. I was so afraid that maybe i couldnt explore this topic as a conversation with people i want but your video and your thoughts gave me courage to do so , i love your content keep posting queen ❤❤❤❤
Ykw girl I was planning id make a yt channel for dalit youth to feel empowered, so that they feel comfortable in themself. But i see u today doing that thank u soo much
@Prachi-or6tx ykw I was planning. As a teen I've faced a lot of self identity issues, changing surnames, hidding caste and even your place of belonging. Bruh, thats a lot to process and hinders your growth I was gonna make a video about how we, youth should learn to accept that and make ourselves better
@@ShravSukh sorry that I used it I thought you knew it but it's okay this is the word we tribal people use alot. It means completely devoted to the nature I've translated this from Hindi to English hehehe प्रकृति के प्रति संपूर्ण समर्पण का भाव ही जोहार है"
honestly i can't even put it into words how much i relate.. from being shielded about these topics, to not being confident enough to speak out about this within friend-circles, to understanding so much of generalized casteism around myself later on in life. Its a whole experience. I m so inspired by u having the courage to speak up on this topic.
As a muslim i can only say that appeasement politics and increasing reservation just so politicians can catch more votes isnt going to stop discrimination. I have seen muslims in my community having severe hate for people from sc/st and its increasing only just because of all this appeasement politics towards them. Reservation and caste is nothing but a way for politicians to gain more votes(atleast now, it started for a good cause)now and they hype this up enough Which creates more hate within the community. Casteism will only stop in India the day politicians will find they cant get votes on caste and allat
i am brahmin, both my parents were brahmins, dash utkal, and my mother comes from a zameendar family, so i hve known about my privilege since the early years of my life, but it makes me very happy to see that my uncle and one of my cousins have married out of our caste,
Same happened with me during entrance exams for higher education. All merit goes out of the window when reservation is brought forward, the worst part is that since it is such an integral part of the Hindu social fabric it is hard to dismantle. i used to think educating this generation on caste will bring some change but something instilled through family values is hard to counter. Coexisting in a caste hierarchy is impossible without subjugation of the oppressed caste people and people from the oppressor caste will always feel that any attempt to bring equality is infringing on their religious right to be superior. When you've been privileged for too long, equality feels like oppression.
This is the exact reason why I don't watch bollywood or indian cinema that much. I belong sc category 😂 bonding over caste is real thing too . Thankgod im picky. Iam also part of creamy layer but when got ti know about it i was dumbfounded and its sounded funny to me too😂😂but whatever 😙 i dont wanna pull my energy back to make somebodyelse secure.
Ive had similar conversations with my friends back in highschool and they were pretty much ignorant about urban casteism and were like pretty anti reservation. When i spoke against it, they kinda sidelined me and were like "oh my god youre a creamy layer obc why do you care?" and to top it off i was called woke and what not for simply like stating that casteism is still a big thing. THANK YOU FOR MAKING A VIDEO ON THIS!!
dekh as a 16 yr old dalit/sc who belongs to, mtlb i do live in a neighborhood filled with sc people only, especially the marathi Buddhist who moreover also belong to the upper middle class(i am also a dalit but hindu dalit), there wasn't a time where i was reminded that i am dalit or whatever aisa kuch hua to nhi h but as i am preparing for competitive exams, classes me to causal discrimination face krna hota hi h (but sarcastic waale dalit jokes). and rahi baat reservation ki so i am completely against it if were a brahmin, but if you got the privilage, then just use it. baaki samaaj ki mkc. and like maybe reservation is the reason why there is caste discrimination that much especially in 1 tier cities, the socio- economic gap btwn the rich and poor is still acceptable. but ab logo ne hi apna cognitive mindset aise set krliya that they combine the 'lower classes' and the'lower castes' together. and my household maid is brahmin
Yeee I agree, cus I'm from Kerala and had friends from different castes and religions, but then I came to Maharashtra and PPL were soo eager to know about my surname 😅. I bet the situation will get worse if I go up :(, it's sad.
thank god more kids are opening up about this. i literally have this debate with UC people every other week. The amount of short-sightedness and veiled hate in urban india is insane - across caste and religious lines. Everyone is "modern" till caste and religion comes up. Plus genz, who are supposed to be "progressive" always fall in line with their parent's ideaologies - because in the end, they realise the privilege that comes with it!
Dr.B. R. Ambedkar started this reservation system only for one and a half year. Some political parties want to grab the votes of SC an ST. So, they stresses reservation system in every 5 year. I think reservation for should be poor people not for All SC/ST. Isn't it unequal for general people who are going to the same school and getting the same tuitions but one will get 40% reservation and when will have to struggle.
Dr. Ambedkar never limited reservations to “one and a half years.” That timeframe applied only to political reservations in legislatures, not education or jobs. Ambedkar knew caste discrimination wouldn’t disappear overnight. Reservations were-and remain-a tool for justice, not charity. Inequalities persist, so extensions are essential. Misrepresenting Ambedkar ignores history and ongoing oppression.
@@dontmisimi Many general caste people suicide because of not clearing the exams whereas the people belonging to SC and st caste qualifies it with way more less marks.
It is unfair if they go to the same school. I think reservation should be for the people who go to state school. CBSE should automatically disqualify them from reservation. It's easy to check syllabus unlike income and it indicates wealth and progress in the family
thanks for making this video and sharing your experiences, it must have been hard to do. i'm indian, born and raised in the west, and casteism is rampant here within indian/south asian communities in the west as well. i come from an upper caste family and I never even knew about the caste system until I learnt about in school when they taught about hinduism because I had never faced caste discrimination and goes to show how privileged I am. only after that, I learnt more and realised casteism is all around me (at temples, parents, family members, marriage, food, generational wealth, etc). Groups in the US like Hindu American Foundation and HSS (like American RSS) want to ban teaching caste system in the US under the guise that it is "hinduphobic" the same way conservatives want to ban teaching about slavery and black history. it's incredibly messed up. the "California textbook controversy" is an example of this. once again thanks for making this, and I love your eyeliner and eye makeup!
I haven't finished this video but u are so brave for being rational and educated about this topic on a public platform lol. I am a general category student who is legally from a dominant caste but half of my family fall under the reserved category. Living with upper class/assimilated SC family memebers is so weird, in the sens ethat they are proud of ppl like Babasahed but will also parrot right wing propaganda and be ashamed of their own heritage and tell us younger ones to hide our caste background. Unlearning generational self hatred takes hard work lol
I was randomly recommended your video about white wall aesthetics and I thought to myself here is another upperclass savarna rant about nothing burger which indians can't relate. I feel so shitty now. I have also faced the thing about having heirarchy even among uppercaste say brahmin, my friends have full on argument on this. I too have uppercaste surname "Singh" and my ex-friends used to abuse my castes and my community infront of me and I felt so helpless fucked my mental health alot. I was born in poverty in a rural place in eastern UP and lived all my life in low class standards. I never had anything fancy like iphones etc. I am at point where I can buy it but it's so fucking unbelievable that I don't because people will judge and I will become an example of BMW Iphone wala dalit.
In india money matters more than caste tbh. That is more of a british thing where family background and lineage matters. Maybe for rich people its different but for regular people nothing makes a difference the way money does. I have noticed more discrimination from Christians because they think they are so foreign and we are their servants
I am open about my caste and religion. I have been discriminated against in school and still i get taunts like why do you people get reservation? You cannot be intelligent like us, Bhimte, lower castes have lowly thoughts. But I don't care. I am proud of my Mahar people who fought against this discrimination.
It's really insightful i was born in a upper caste family (not Brahmin) and in a city due to which I never knew anything about caste and my parents were also progressive because they never mentioned anything about caste and saw every one as equal, always in my childhood the Prasad of our home temple would be eaten by watchmen,maid etc from the same plate we used to eat
If your parents didn't educate you about caste, they were not progressive. They were just fine with their privilege. Go ahead and bring home a dalit friend with his home cooked food. You'll find out how progressive your parents are. This is how I found out about mine.
@thomascromwell6840 so what do you expect them to tell me that the maid which comes to clean our house is of lower caste, instead of dividing people through caste they taught me to see everyone as equal and each one is a normal human being like us.
@@GamingCoc-o7e and there's the caste privilege. Guess your parents were casteist after all. To consider educating people about the history of the caste system and its negative impact on our society, 'dividing people'. There is no equality if you don't even acknowledge caste oppression. Shame on you.
@@thomascromwell6840 isn't knowledge about caste system provided by any functioning school? Why would his parents need to drill into his brain anything more?
Okay, thank you for making this video! I know you will prolly get a lot of inflamed comments, but REALLY you're becoming the best commentary channel on Indian issues ❤
I am belong from a upper caste (maratha) and l scored 98%centile and still couldn't get into any top colleges in India.. further more most of my classmates who used to belong to sc/st or OBC categories used to always make fun of me this continued till college. If there is 3-5% upper caste population in india and the maximum population is lower caste so you think only people from lower caste deserve education what about equality??? Most upper caste are working on a bigger post because they have always been 1st in every academic year. Additionally, we also have to pay lakhs even if we come in merit and people from lower caste have to pay what only 1500 inr?? There are so many campaigns in india for equality in education which justifys to just give reservation on the basis of merit and not caste.. atleast provide equality in education.. Even Dr. Baba ambedkar saheb fought for equality!! I am sorry been following for you for so long but this video looked biased..
its the ancestoral karma you're suffering nothing more, you get to enjoy the ancestral advantages so obviously you're going to suffer their karmas too and also most of the lower cast people are poor you cannot just pick handful of rich people and call the whole community rich and about equality, you can never have equality because when you were not even born equal how do you expect equality? lower caste people were oppressed and even tortured for centuries ofcourse you'll have to give them back the resources that were snatched from their ancestors, and most upper caste people work on bigger post not because they have always been 1st in academic but because they HAD opportunity they HAD resources, like when india became independent general people had generational wealth and resources while lower caste people were just starting to live like other people so tell me who would have a better chance of having higher education and jobs, the family that has employed and educated members or the one just starting out? and about the video she just told her experience nothing more how is that even biasness? is it biased just because she belongs to sc st? its you that has a very limited perspective on casteism because ofcourse how will you even have it when you were privileged enough to be just born in the upper caste and never face the discrimination and even the torture those lower caste people still face on daily basis
You are right and she's even avoiding most of the comments. Controversy= views And ofc the MAJORITY of the population will support bcz ofc the are larger in numbers
Mi pan 96 kuli maratha aahe ani tu khup vichitra argument det aahes. Babasaheb fought for the upliftment of marginalised castes. He fought for RESERVATIONS. Jaativad hi gosht hazaro varshanparyant chalo rahili aahe. To destroy the caste system and caste based discrimination that has been so long rooted in our culture, how can you expect only 80 years of reservations in public sector and education to do the job? Reservations are NOT about financial upliftment, they are about representation and a continuous upliftment of caste based communities. Additionally, Marathas are the largest caste in Maharashtra. There is a difference between traditional high castes like Brahmins and Dominant castes like Marathas, Reddy, Kamma etc. "Merit" is subjective. The entire indian education system is wrong and hazardous to the health of our nation and our youth. Instead of educating, organising and agitating against such an unfair system that was invented just to create a sheep like workforce for the British, you remain uneducated about the realities of caste and education and agitate against an easy target like reserved category students, because it requires less work and is more popular
If you consider reservation, a policy that has been in place for just over a century, to be unjust, then what about the caste-based discrimination that has persisted for more than 3,000 years? What about the relentless persecution that countless innocent people have suffered because of their caste or religion? Are you drawing the line at reservation, overlooking the centuries of systemic oppression that continue to shape the social fabric of this nation? Reservation has transformed the psychology of lower-caste communities by providing opportunities for education, employment, and social mobility, fostering empowerment and reducing feelings of INFERIORITY. It's important to understand that these communities were not used to being treated as equals until recently and are still trying to integrate into a society that once deemed them inferior.
im a devout hindu, and being born 'upper caste' i was praised for being so connected to god (some said it was 'fitting' for me). singing bhajans, reading the scriptures, i found it fulfilling. i believed something so wonderful as this religion of mine could possibly never harbour anything evil, as it is always defeated by good. to my horror, it thrived, prevailed even. using religion as an excuse to prove themselves 'superior', to laugh in the face of all that the scriptures taught us while using them to vindicate their own evil? i felt lied to and betrayed. when had my religion ever dictated how inferior others are to me? inferior is the rishi who wrote the ramayan? simply because i am a 'superior' caste to him? it made me have a crisis about what my religion truly is. i read the stories again and again, never once have our own gods shunned people for being 'inferior', who are we to do that to others? to sing praises about the gods for whom (apparently) we torment people. not drinking the water offered by them because they are 'dirty'? where shri ram ate the same fruit bitten by shabari, acknowledging her devotion, was she 'dirty' to our god? this was never about religion, these people have never cared about god. reservation was never the problem, neither was religion. people need to cleanse their minds of the filth they are spewing. we should think of actual solutions to solve this problem instead of blaming reservation. a few simple things such as having more seats, giving access to quality education and teaching people basic decency and respect can solve the issue of reservation and caste system all together. great video btw !!
Education makes you slave highly educated people do discrimination with logic that's the only difference just like the guy said i am not gonna drink water from the hand of sweeper.
@@smerdyakov_11 that is exactly what upper caste people were getting historically in India. Selective privileges. And now that lower caste people get to have an education these people feel threatened. Reservation is so that both upper and lower caste people have the same starting line; because most of the times, upper caste people have many advantages over their lower caste counterparts.
one time I was talking with my friends about admissions and which college we were aiming for and it was a very normal convo till someone decided to bring up caste. They were like you don't have to worry caste ki vajah see tujhe to mil hi jayega mehnat to hume karni padti hai. mind you I was smarter than all of them scored more and even was in the top ranks in my class while all of them were like average at best. they were worried about losing their seat because of reservation but they wouldn't get in even if they were from sc-st. while I got into college based on my score and it's a good college but they are studying abroad or at better private institutes after giving donations. another time we were all just talking in college and the topic of how we got admissions and what were our choices and when I said that I got in the first round so I didn't apply to other places in the second round because I was satisfied with the course I got into and not many colleges offer this and before even I finish saying this one of the guys said ohh it must be because of reservations. I think the mindset that reservation is taking out seats is very wrong because even without reservation their chances of getting in are so low because of our large population and lack of seats and better opportunities. and we need to improve our education infrastructure first it's not like we don't have good institutes or anything but they are mostly private and because of that even upper-caste middle-class students are not getting opportunities.
"I was in 10th standard when I discovered that my English teacher, who belonged to an upper caste, would discourage my friends, also from the upper caste, from talking to me and eating with me. When I found out, I was shocked! As a teacher, how could she behave in such a way towards me?"😢 Is this my mistake that i belong to a so called lower caste!!
So did u get it? Learned something? Education can't help to clean castism She disliked u for ur future who will take reservations not for caste u can easily complaint bout teacher otherwise 10th u were in
It’s absolutely infuriating how the concept of caste has been twisted into something entirely different from what it was originally meant to signify in Hinduism. i was born into a so-called "Brahmin" family but that doesn’t automatically make me a true Brahmin. The literal meaning of being a Brahmin is being a scholar and the pursuit knowledge, it is not smth in lineage or birthright. By that standard, I cannot yet claim to be one, as my understanding remains limited since i’ve only studied two or three scriptures so far. This distortion of caste has stripped it of its true meaning, turning what was once a system based on qualities (guna) and actions (karma) into an oppressive and divisive hierarchy. It’s a betrayal of the values our scriptures upheld, where one’s worth was determined by their deeds and character, not their birth. This manmade custom has consistently undermined its true religious essence.
It's nice to see you sharing your past and present experiences of you and around you. It's nice to see young generation standing up and talking about such ropics because just by sweeping these topics under the rug won't bring changes. Experiences shaoe people. Your experiences and of peopel around would shape your mindset. About the oeiple who you or other commentors may think are "pissed off" are speaking based on their social experiences. I have my own. I follow facts and lectures of researchers deep in these topics. As a lower middle class indian girl, neither a brahmin nor a reserved category, but from unreserved (UR) catefory in my cutoffs, I'd like to share some points of my own (I'd make a video too but nah) which would probably be better in bringing 'change' beneficial for all and share my experience too. 1. Start standing up for yourself. When you see see or experience discrimination by any UC in todays time, dont keep quiet. No need it ro bear it. Call it out upfront. You never know you might change their previously unlearned faulty mindset. Bring it to their attention of what they have said and make them realise it. I dont mean by it to 'start fighting' altogether. Conversations, discussions can happen in a civil manner. I know i understand it can be exhausting but please try. 2. Understand ghe difference between welfare and freebies. Dont let political parties wnd government use your social discrimination for their vote bank. Ultimately ALL political parties are corrupt and wont to stay in power, for that they'll issue statements and take then back shamelessly. Instead, of being easily swayed, see who is offering what and with what agenda. 3. I agree with your point you pinned above about more seats, educational institutions. 4. I agree about reservation being representation. 5. I have studied in college in 2018 (why I mention the year I'll share below) a minor subject called 'marginalised sector of the society', most of you maybe surprised to know that there are LAYERS even in reserved category and who gets what reservation quota. Even in SC, ST, OBC reserved categories there are creamy and non creamy layers, and reservation max goes to the section which can actually afford the education without reservation while those even lower marginally dont get to while being feom the reserved categories. So now what? What are the solutions here? Surely top later won't renounce their reservation for the bottom layer? 6. The EWS quota that exists for general is actually not just for general. For example in the housing schemes by the govt, the houses which govt allots after registration, there are quotas there too. Which is fine. This i learned just yesterday though, for the EWS quota, a general family has to pay 72,000rs for registration, while a reserved category family has to pay 36,000. So if a genral family is applying through EWS who has guessed that they have 36000 twice the money? ↓ This is not me blaming you but trying to bring to your attention that in the name of reservation while a section of society (i refuse to address anyone as lower or upper caste) is getting representation, another section is getting ripped off brutally. Max people stand in support for the sections that suffered by the hands of oppressors, while those who still discriminate 1. We dont count them as ours. 2. Are reducing in number hopefully. So please stand up for tour brothers and sisters too from the UR category. Why? Because we dont want any more than you or for you to get any less. This divide in itself of 'we' and 'you' is still being cutlivated by external parties dont let them fertilise it further. 7. Reducing of passing marks. Recently (i forgot in whcih state or was it maharashtra) the passing marks for SC, STs were reduced to 20 out of 100. Why? What is this going to prove? Reservation is representation, what is this then? Why are such freebies accepted with open arms? Why do SC,STs not take it as an insult on their intellect that they cant score even 50 marks as their fellow peers? Instead of giving in to ANY or ALL the feeebies provided for appeasement and vote banks, learn to stand up for your pride too. You people are no less in intellect. My bestfriend is SC and is more successful than me. And i say this as a proud best friend not comparison. My experience: Why and when for the first time I was exposed to the while "caste and reservation system." In 2016, i appeared for LLB DU entrance exam. I was frwshwlf graduate from DU after BA where the fees was merely 6000 for generals dont know for reserved category, surely even lower. I invited my friend who was confused in his career but studying for IAS at regular coachings to appear for entrance exam as practice since topics were gonna be similar for him. He wasn't interested i insisted. He was out of mechanical engineering feom hyderabad had just shifted to delhi for IAS coachings. Btw we weren't new sudden friends, we had been friends for about 3-4 ywars by then. Fees must have been higher in his collede ofc. That wasn't much problem. He could even afford monthly plane trips to and from hyd to his parents to delhi his grandparents he was staying with. He was easily upper middle class/rich class. We gave the exam i had just 1-2 months of prep and he had months of IAS prep on his hands, coincidentally we scored similar on the exam, with around 5-5 marks difference. My rank was 6000 in general, his 150 in SC. He got in i didnt. It was my dream my chosen career, he wasnt even interested he wanted IAS but when he got the seat he booked it. Dont take it as me blaming him LOL. i believe in destiny so i let my dream go bc i had no other choice, no long after, like 2 months later, i lost my father so i had no option to give the entrance again next year and had to chsnge career path to start earning, bc of which I'm still displaced in my career btw. My only question is why did her deserve that seat more than me? And anyone who wishes to answer, answer it OBJECTIVELY. Its not even like my ancestors were Brahmins or among the oppressors of the society so why i and people like me suffer? We see your pain. See our pain too. Dont misunderstand anyone who is speaking as being pissed off, like i said everybody speaks from their experiences. Now to this anyone may say don't blame SC, STs blame the govt. Well by that logic other people too are only blsming the govt and it's freebies providing system, its reservation providing system for APPEASEMENT, its not an attack direxted towards SC,STs. When these peopel revolt they dont want the reservation to be scrapped off neither do i support that, reservation should be there at all costs but for those who actually desperately need it, such as the middle and bottom layers of SC,ST,OBCs. OR RATHER Reservation should be there for EWS of the society altogether without a caste distinction otherwise there's no end to the caste hierarchy as long as everyone from reserved keeps seeing themselves as different and separate entity. There should be strong quota for PWD & EWS imo. Reducing of passing marks definitely needs to be scrapped off for everyone no matter gender, caste, religion, unless there are exceptional cases. SCHOLARSHIPS should be provided to maximum candidates who dont get in outside of quote no matter what caste. I could sit and write and suggest more but its already a long comment which i dont think anyone's gonna read. So. Anyway. Anyone who read till here i wish you wellness and wisdom. Tc.
Very true, amazing video. People just forget that reservation is not to ensure economic prosperity but social equality and de-establishing this heirarchal system based on birth.
More than 2/3rd of India's population lives in rural area, and rural areas face discrimination the most. Just because you haven't experienced it doesn't means discrimination doesn't exist!
I grew up in a rural area and that's not true lol. Majority of the people there will be of the same native caste and many of them will be in power (local politicians, police, government employee, landlord) and that type of status matters more. Nothing matters as much as being the majority, having money and having power. That's how the world works. Upper castes are more privileged in cities because they are more likely to be educated and can get good jobs in IT or financial sector. And urban places are so mixed, being a minority doesn't matter. Education is useless in rural areas. There you're just a minority with no advantage

The real problem isn't reservations. It’s that our country doesn't have enough opportunities for bright students in general. Take NEET as an example: in 2023, over 2.1 million students competed for just 120,000 MBBS seats. That's less than 6% of applicants getting in. Even if reservations didn't exist, the majority of students (from all categories) would still miss out.
What we really need is more seats, better colleges, and accessible resources for everyone because removing reservations won't magically solve the problem. Reservations aren't about unfair advantages, the literacy rate for SCs is 66.1% and for STs it's 58.4%, compared to 82.2% for upper castes. Without reservations, these inequalities would only deepen.
I know it can feel frustrating when someone with a lower score gets in, but we have to consider the systemic hurdles marginalized students face. Most NEET qualifiers (over 85%) come from private coaching institutes, which many SC/ST students simply can't afford. And even with reservations, they make up less than 15% of students in top institutions like ITs and AllMS, despite having a 22.5% quota. That tells you how much harder they have to fight to even get there.
Rather than targeting reservations, we should push for real solutions: more seats, better colleges, and equal access to resources.
Blaming marginalized groups for a broken system only distracts from the real problem.
pinning this cause i can’t keep replying with the same shit to everyone 💌
Agreed 👍
Btw there is just a little mistake in your comment, You mentioned IITs as ITs
@@dontmisimi you can't just assume that many of us (upper caste) come from private coaching institutes. And what about fees?? Reservation is not a problem there it seems?? We have to literally pay 7-8 lakhs upfront and lower caste can get admitted into top universities with a lower score and paying in what 1000 rupees? These entrance exams are there because of the Indian mass population. More than 65% of the population is st/sc if you are so poor why do these people have so many kids if they can't afford kids. Look at China the Gaokao exam is the most difficult in the world and there are no reservations That's why China's economy is going to cross the USA in some estimated years. I really appreciate how you said we need more resources as the entire Indian education system is rigid.. but again you were saying how it's difficult for them to get into colleges l mean yes it is but our (upper caste) chances are even less than 1%???
Does that mean that the unreserved category doesn't face many hardships when studying for competitive exams ?
@@dontmisimi l also don't have time to reply to your shit everytime.. you are here as a political speaker so kindly mind your language if you can't take a opinion from someone that's your problem
It takes courage for a 20 something to talk about her caste openly, especially when media stays mum and parents tell you keep your mouth shut about it forever. We need more people like you who wear their caste as a badge of honor. In my opinion, this video is more relatable than an upper class Brahmin lecturing people about casteism.
So true
Caste as a badge of honor? Is this really a good thing to encourage people to do?
@@khanshiranyor3974 u really need to get out there and see for yourself, the people from upper castes has been doing it all these years .and yet I haven't seen anyone from lower caste talking openly about it like her.
@@Suzy1688 So, the upper caste has been doing it for years. Ok. So we should tell people to copy the upper caste?
@@Suzy1688 bruh nowadays it feels like a crime for me to tell my caste but people from other castes tell their caste openly.
Casteism is deeply rooted in indian culture and history but over the years it's meaning has been morphed to support the narratives of political campaigns and for creating an illusion of superiority over the others. There are a lot of minorities who still need the reservation as a means of economic upliftment but the general public need a deeper level of understanding of the same.
Kudos to you for discussing this matter
Most caste-politics are about freebies, though? The majority of India isn't upper caste, and the majority isn't as educated or financially well off. There have been systemic problems for centuries, but appealing to vote banks with freebies is a slippery slope. The most caste-superiority politics is done by OBC jaats, ironically.
How reservation is solving the problem of casteism?
This is so my experience. I am sc with a changed surname and preparing for NEET. My friends on the other hand have no idea about my caste and I often hear them passing casteist remarks and stating how unfortunate they are to be born in an upper caste family. It used to break my heart and I always thought that I'll be taking something away from them if I get selected and they didn't. I discussed it with my father as well and all though he is a DSP yet he faces discrimination from his seniors and folks and he told me to take up every opportunity that I get to make my career. I know that I'll never be able to tell my friends about my caste because of my fear of judgement and discrimination.
Edit: Let me adress a few things here for people who don't understand my point. Even if reservation is removed, 98% of you general caste peeps still won't get a government college but I yet don't see enough people holding the government accountable. Although I do understand student's frustration but removing reservation will still keep you frustrated plus you'll have no one to bash when you don't get selected.
You're never truly gonna understand caste based discrimination until you are someone from a marginalized category. Having financial success does not mean a person is entirely free from caste-based discrimination. Like I mentioned my father facing discrimination, my uncle's office colleagues not wanting to eat at his house, my cousin sister who wanted to be identified as who she is but latter changed her surname because of the bullying in school are just few examples of discrimination amongst the so called "creamy layered" society. And don't even get me started about 'ch*mar' being an offensive swear word thrown around by people just so casually as if it's not someones literal caste. If it wasn't for reservation I would wouldn't even be able to speak up in front of upper caste people.
Not being able to open up about my caste to my friends was less about NEET and more about the fear of being looked down upon and social segregation. Many of you might argue that you'll never discriminate but I can't help but notice caste being mentioned everywhere, from nasty but huge influencers like Rajat Dalal to Instagram bio mentioning "proud kshatriya". Don't get me wrong it's great that you're proud of who you are but then why are you making me feel so inferior that my only way out is to change my identity.
I hope that I made myself clear and if you just wanna talk about reservation and never caste discrimination then you can cry about it forever. Even foreigners see and sometimes even mock India for it's rigid caste system (like pewdiepie) but Indians are still either participating in it or just being downright ignorant. If you're still pissed about NEET then hate the game, not the player.
i understand and i was warned against the same because people have such fixed mentalities but it will reveal a lot about “friends” around you. people who know you will know how capable you are, they will respect you beyond stupid things like caste. you don’t need to justify and tell them a sob story about your family’s experiences for them to have basic empathy towards you. be proud of what you are and thats how things will change. it’s the least we can do for the people who have suffered before us and are still suffering.
understand their situation too, you're talking about NEET, which is hell for general category peeps, even 650+ isn't enough nowadays, whereas for SC/ST peeps, even 400 is enough to get in. now obviously, the cutoffs are low because most SC/ST peeps are not in good conditions, but yes, the ones which are, get an unfair advantage, which the general students are frustrated about.
i understand this problem very well, by changing surnames, you may avoid some of the remarks you may get, but on the other hand, that leaves no meaning to the "reservation is for representation" agenda, if you can't stand for yourself.
all in all, our country has flaws, nothing can be done.
edit: (just so y'all know, i'm a general category male)
so many capable students shouldn’t be fighting over a mere number of seats to begin with. it’s not the fault of SC/ST students but the lack of accessible higher education and infrastructure in general. the pressure should be on the government to create more opportunities instead of hating on lower caste students who are literally changing their surnames and identities to not face discrimination. general category students often benefit from cultural capital, access to better guidance, mentorship, and preparatory resources that SC/ST students typically lack. this unseen advantage is rarely acknowledged in such discussions.
i totally agree with you.
ur father is a dsp which means reservation has served its purpose and no way in hell should u be given reservation....but here we are.....u justifying reservation cuz u hear some of the boys in ur class saying 'xyz' truth is no amount of reservation will be of anyuse to you till u suffer from this debilitating case of lack of confidence. Know that even if u end up becoming a doctor cuz of reservation it will always be cuz of reservation and u will never be as good as the general candidates who worked hard and got the seat despite leaches like you
I'm ST and in my dad's village, they still have separate wells for the "superior" castes. 2024, people! These privileged folks love to be activists when the topic is reservation while ignoring centuries of oppression. Reservation isn't about freebies; it's about representation. Even white people are owning up to racism done by their ancestors in past, when will upper castes do it ?? Stop pretending casteism doesn't exist.and i love u girl for speaking about this you're brave 🩵🩷 and loving the meltdown happening in comment section 😭
So are the blacks in europe getting reservation? Reservation will only further increase castism. N the well thing where do u live under a cave or what girl?.
I'm not against reservation but it should be given according to economic conditions giving in name of caste is absurd. I had never known much bout caste untill i came in 11th i used to eat in everyone's tiffin I'm brahman my st sc ex friends of highschool with cars n bikes getting reservation made me learn more n not be friends with freebies. If u are poor i get u. But giving it on name of caste will do nothing. Those who support reservation on basis of caste deserve to get treated by the doctor of their caste n get their house made that freebie engineer then u guys will understand.
Also africans faced apartheid commonly were enslaved they get no reservations neither do the jews who were tortured over their identity of being jews bt Christians Muslims as well as boue eyes germans ofcourse yk what i mean.
Where is reservation for them? Indians still r called pajeets n mocked round world will u ask reservation frim the world?
And lastly ur god bhim rao ambdekar himself made reservations for specific time duration politicians r using y'll for their own intrests it may help u in short term but it's not gonna develop the nation entirely.
Also if u think reservation is given to u for what u faced then u must be clown.
St meaning schedule tribes they don't marry outside their caste/village either might do inbreeding sometimes instead. They get reservation for uplifting themselves not bc they r poor.
And lastly brahmans are only 5% only 3% of us follow same caste marriage maximum. Do u really think in 2024 with u having more political rights then us we can bully you? N should i face for what my anncestors did? If i might fave then why don't i mock u while facing it all😂
And historically speaking many of the caste in sc were lost soldiers of history who were sent to exile or ordered to stay in corner of the villages by the order of king who won.
N ST SC have bigg population thus they come out to be more poor otherwise u should visit jammu n moutain states there st sc or anyone all r well built beautiful people

All Thanks to Gandhi. Instead of removing the caste system and implementing the death penalty. He adds a reservation so that it remains forever. 60% of doctors can't do the same job as 100%. Our all gov dept, edu, rail, medical, pwd, court doomed. Equal representing for what? how to mesh all systems!! All we need is to remove caste and reservation and provide free education only for low-income families (sc/st/gen). Separate court and police force(specialize not danda wala) for rape mob lynching and caste discrimination. Create a zone-wise map where more of these things happen like the corona zone and add more force. Of course population control. With a 10k salary get 3 children and cry about your poor situation !! hell no.
@@Pandeyziipandit Shut up go outside casteism is there myself have faced it Also don't talk about what white people did which they oppress we make our own rules shendi shut up the adivasis are more fit then your 500 kilo brahmins doing poojas .
I am a Rajput, most of my close friends are Brahmins and Rajputs. This was sheer coincidence, we became friends first and asked each other's castes like years later. A friend of ours, a very studious one at that, achieved almost 100% in all the exams he tried, be it competitive or school exams. Later I got to know he's from a lower caste, but the man wanted to prove himself and he did. That he got in on merit 100%, no special treatment, Really surprised me that he was driven to prove himself so bad, can't imagine the remarks he had heard. Not from us, anyway. Still a close friend to this day.
I wish I was like him. I also want prove that I can do it without any advantage. I can understand concepts but I am not able to score. Thankfully my friends do not talk about caste and sh*t at least in front of me. I am studying in good school so that can be a reason. I am really grate full that I got supportive parents specially my father who is professor. As long as I don't talk about my caste everything will go smooth. Right now no one has insulted me on basis of caste and I hope it continues this way and work hard like my upper caste friends (this is first time I have yapped about my caste in internet because of your video).

love your videos, as someone who got good marks 96% in 12th grade and due to my obc reservation, I was able to make it to one of the best economics college in the country. But I saw a sudden shift in the attitude of my other friends as they couldn''t get into top colleges.

"In our country, women from backward classes are more suppressed than men from same caste because patriarchy", wtf? women in general are suppressed than men . this has nothing to do with "backward or upper caste".

Economics is joke though You became the opressor now leaving the opressed the indian dream best of luck.
absolutely real, when i tell my friends that its STILL being practiced they are like nah we are genzs why would anyone discriminate blah blah but there are SO MANY PEOPLE WHO OPENLY DISCRIMINATE IN OUR CLASS BASED ON CASTE. one of them went "humara khoon toh kshatiryon ka hai whyd we even be friends with sc sts" ???????? Once one of them hatesd this guy for being a teachers pet toh she went "pakka sc st ka hoga mai toh inke kareeb bhi na jau"...and the reservation thing especially people dont consider ki sc st people do get in on the basis of merit as well! Whenever any sort of puja is done, my parents would call themselves lower caste and avoid touching the pandit directly. In the villages of my parents side, being an sc st our community people live at the very end of the village and no one of the upper caste would enter that side. My parents never told my about our caste until i got to know myself and asked about it, I was told not to tell anyone about it. At that time i thought no one could care less about my caste, but i was so wrong. Being rich or poor only affects how openly one is discriminated, if poor youll def be openly targeted and if not people will talk about it behing ur back, either ways u will be discriminated.
Just because some people discriminate based on caste does not mean that you were denied the same education and opportunities as the general students of your class. It's like saying that I was bullied in school because of my darker skin so I should get a reservation... Social discrimination is a sad reality, I agree. But the fact is that discrimination did not lead to opression or denial in education or opportunity. Hence the preferential treatment of reserved castes in selection in higher education and jobs create a unfair playing ground where students with same kind of education are treated differently, hence igniting more discrimination based on reservation and the sense of unfair unequality it gives to the SCs.
the village experience you mentioned, I agree is a reality too. But not in Urban India, The above paragraph is in relation to the Urban Indian context, as for the Rural Indian context, I wholeheartedy agree that for the social and economic upliftment of Rural India and the SCs of Rural India, Proper reservations should be given to them because there the discrimination often penetrates their rural schools. But also a wider reservation must also be given to the economically weaker classes of India, because as you said discrimination is open in economically weak societies, where it starts to translates into opressive exclusionary acts. But to equate that with the discrimination of urban India is simply unequal and unjust since in urban settings it's a discrimination that never translates to anything, equal opportunity and education stays.
The most weird thing is when people claim to be Brahmin or Kshatriya despite not even knowing who their great grandparents were
@@dewy_droplets that's the same as saying jail all men, because majority of criminals are men. But hardly 2 percent of the total male population are criminals
@@mr.d3051 I understand some of your perspective, but caste-based discrimination is deeply rooted and persists even in urban contexts, often in subtle tho impactful ways. Discrimination isn’t just about overt denial of education or opportunities; it even includes systemic and societal barriers that hinder confidence, integration, and access to informal networks critical for growth. Urban India may provide the same textbooks, but the psychological and social setbacks caused by exclusionary attitudes are significant. Reservations aim to address centuries of structural exclusion, not just immediate discrimination. They work to LEVEL a playing field where generational privilege still influences who gets access to opportunities and the influence of the upper caste in high positions. It’s also important to note that many SC/ST individuals succeed on merit, yet they are unfairly labeled as “beneficiaries of reservation,” which perpetuates stigma. Framing reservations as unfair overlooks their role in correcting systemic inequities and risks fueling resentment, which worsens the very discrimination they seek to reduce. Instead, I feel we gotta focus on addressing inequities without undermining the progress made through these policies.
@@CiskoLunar-mk3yw The "jail all men" analogy doesn’t fit here because caste discrimination isn’t about isolated actions but deeply ingrained biases that still exist-even among Gen Z. As you pointed out, people openly discriminate in class and beyond, making judgments based on caste regardless of merit or economic status. Reservations aren’t punishment but a way to level the field for communities that still face systemic bias. It’s not about individuals; it’s about fixing a larger issue.
We were taught. We were TAUGHT that casteism is a thing of the past. I belong to an "upper caste" family / surname, hence because I never experienced casteism and my friends, majority of whom were in the same social strata as me, genuienly believed it to have gone out of power for a long long time. But the stats don't lie. Unfortunately most people even around me refuse to acknowledge this even with the info provided. I was living in ignornace for 18 years and more. 18 YEARS?!!!

So glad to see more people of our generation talking about casteism. It is such a deep rooted problem and avoided by those who don't directly experience the horrors it has inflicted. Being from a Malayali Christian family, I myself never came to realise the depths of casteism that is still prevalent. My family never covered caste or even most societal issues for that matter. But, as I grew up, seeing the unfairness of Indian society made me delve deeper into the topic and realise how much casteism still affects literally every single part of the country. Now, living in the center of Urban Bangalore, just seeing how almost all of the BBMP workers, who wake up early every morning to clean the shit, literal and metaphorical, that the urban upper caste throw out every day are of lower caste, it makes me realise that caste has never left us. It will never go away, until we develop an education system which properly tackles societal issues including casteism, and until the government develops better reforms to help aid those that truly suffer from the caste system.
Mallu xtiqns are equally casteist. Just go to Kerala and see the separate churches made for Dalits, like Dalit pallis

dude ive literally never seen anyone talk about this or met anyone whose parents had given them a diff surname to shield them from casteism, like ive literally lied to so many people about why my surname is diff from my parents', dude this video healed something in me THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO
my cousins have diff surnames than their parents too. My surname makes ppl think I'm from maharashtra (for some reason) so i don't get discriminated as much
U are so true. All my life i have been told by my parents not to tell my caste to the people around me so that i don't have to face discrimination. It's also true that how much my fellow classmates used to talk about being proud of their caste and being told by their upper caste families to not sit or even talk with the lower caste people. Let alone the fact that i was in an ICSE school still i had to see all of this happening around me. Till this day i feel ashamed and my mind goes blank when someone asks me about my caste. The fear that i have is can't be described. Fear of losing the ones who were with me all these years is scary. But i am glad that i have also met few people who doesn't ask me about my caste two minutes in to the conversation , and just loves me for who i am. And Just to show u what living in india being from a lower caste feels like - me and my family lives in a Punjabi colony ( No hate to all the Punjabis out there but what i am going to say is not really Just about you ) so people in my colony always avoid talking with us . Specially the aunties , they always make my mom feel very excluded from all the kitty parties , evening walks, they even avoid talking with my mum . Like just being sweet in front of her but never wanting to include her like a normal human. Not only this but I have heard countless stories from my mother of her being discriminated throughout her life. My mother is is well educated and now she is a teacher, but one thing that is different between my mum and these people is that my mother always teach her students to never discriminate , treat everyone equally no matter the gender or colour. It's really not about the caste it's about the kind of person u are.
facts
Like how you mention ICSe school as if it's some kinda higher than normal schools that's another form discrimination nothing else.
@GIGADEV690 tbh the syllabus of what kind of school went to was literally irrelevant to his story tbh 😔

Casteism on the Indian internet at least wasn't as common in the early days (i.e. 2019 and before) The democratization of the internet brought the most regressive illiterate people online.
Fr, been using internet since MTNL days and Indian internet communities weren't this toxic. Jio revolution should've never happened. No wonder why we get cooked so bad in the rest of the world
It was always there, earlier people used to have shame and they were good at masking the casteism but due to emergence of dark humor and dank memes everyone became comfortable showing their true side and hence the casteist memes.
@@cocaa_colaaa you're right, a lot of Instagram comments are predatory towards minors and I can guarantee at least 30% of these people are masking their true identity beneath "Dark Humor" Another thing is these people genuinely tweak out when you make fun of God or the military (they suddenly hate dark humor now)
The sad part is the big companies and govt never take these seriously. Make a joke on religion and you're immediately behind bars. Make a joke on someone's caste/gender you're cool.
Earlier before jio, broadband internet was a luxury and there weren't many lower caste people on the internet anyways, so there was nothing to be casteist against online.
I am ST student and was a one of the top students of my school, in music, academics and sports as well. Nobody would say anything about my caste but whenever there were discussion about jee, they would say, abe tera to jaega yaar kyu padh rha and so on. It would literally make me think what do they think deep inside their heart cuz they are studying their ass off
But talking about my parents, both are government servents and they do face racism in workplace, my father doesn't share it with me but with my mom, and my mom tells me everything. My cousin who is currently preparing for state psc tells everyone that he is obc cause everyone in the coaching including teacher make fun of st and sc
When I was selected for JNV, my art teacher also passed a racist remarks about us in 6th grade but none of them understood and I did. He literally said that they we have less brain but in a manipulate way, I still remember it
But when I was in senior grades, most of my friends we're so open minded about religion and casteism, I think most of them didn't mean it when they would say, abe mat padh ho jaega tera, our class topper was rajput and he and me were the best duo of our school, cuz we were almost similar
tysm for talking bout this im very insecure about my caste ive seen my very close friends use casteist slurs even without realising
U shouldn't be insecure bout ur caste .

If u are poor st sc u deserve reservation n ur caste is ur identity u should never be insecure don't forget we all eat out nobody asks ur caste or where u are eating so they don't jate u for ur caste hate u for taking reservations while u are rich🙃

The funny thing is caste discrimination will never leave India. Even if the entire lower caste population disappears (hypothetically), some other caste would take the lable of being the new 'Lower Caste'. Humans just need a reason to discriminate among themselves. Caste discrimination/reservation is never a issue of economic status, it's a issue of morality.
Discrimination exist everywhere humans r creatures who love to feel superiors. There r enough of brittishers who believe on their aryan history n mock indian 24/7 n other raves they call us ugly n weak make fun of every asians wid small eyes or small height its a way of castism too.
The only thing u can do is recognise ur power take stand be proud of ur identity

I'm from OBC I didn't knew about caste system until I moved to India from abroad. Because in school it was quite prevelant to ask about caste for admission, exams etc. When I was abroad we barely know about caste it was just Indians regardless of caste. Caste discrimination will be wiped out only if caste system is removed from India. But no political party has balls to remove caste system from India since it is good for their vote bank politics. Reservation won't solve the issue as its been 70+ years already & there aren't much changes in the society. Discrimination won't exist if other people don't know the caste of other person. Ban caste from matrimonial sites, educational institutions, caste surnames etc. Then we will have real changes. Financial assistance should be given to economically backward families instead. Else we are already witnessing brain drain in India due to many smart talents moving abroad.
I agree with you. the reservation system in educational institutions had led to a cycle of discrimination and hatred wherein the lower caste get benefits due to discrimination and the upper caste discriminate against them because they are favoured and the so the cycle continues.

Mannnn! This video is actually relatable, I've faced many similar situations like that , when I was in class 3rd I asked my dad what is the meaning of "caste" and why they are filling SC in the diary column then my dad told it was some kind of code used in address just to avoid telling what it is, and my dad told me to never tell my caste to anyone. I was like okt you know curiosity, I asked my tuition teacher " Didi, what's your caste? Are you SC" and then she replied "Chi.... we are not that people, we are clean people I'm pure Brhamin" and from that day I understood why I have to keep it as a secret. Fast forward Highschool, you know during admission of 11th grade they ask for caste and percentage. Then friends peeped into form and they said " WHATT!?? You are Sc??!! But bro you are very good at academics and even scored 90 percent, how can you be a SC? you don't look like one." Then from that they used to mock me for my caste, ...and friendship didn't last long.

honestly speaking, my both parents have a very stable government job thanks to reservation but despite that they get discriminated against other employees rather directly or indirectly and the thing is you can't even do anything about it thankfully when we moved (it's a tier 2 city) it was a lot better considering the people of my caste were way common here than in my hometown. And also there was this one time we got rejected from renting a house just because of our caste and my parents had always taught me never to tell my surname untill it's specified abd just go with Kumar/Kumari just for the sake to avoid castism
This is exactly what I mean when I say reservation is only making casteism worse, You expect people to be nice to you after knowing you barely tried for the job they put their blood sweats and tear to get.
The MAIN problem:
There is NO GENERAL SEAT RESERVATION, ITS OPEN SEAT ( MEANS ANYONE GEN ST SC OBC CAN GET IT ) generals are many times offended because they also want equal pedestral, cause suppose 70 percent is reserved, then 30 percent is open in also which ST SC OBC can get seats but general cannot.
so do you think we should have reservation for every category? Go and look up the % of people in general category. And go and read the reason why reservation is given. And one more thing, there isn't 70 % reservation, not in atleast the state i live(gujarat), and there are some states with such reservation, but there is reserved seats for some other category people also. And if you are gonna count 10% EWS seats and women category, then you should know that those are not on main seats but there are more seats added for such categories.
What about EWS???
Thats only in theory, most general seats are always filled by generals and plus you have ews too. SC have 15% reservation, their population is more than that, ST have 7% reservation their population is more than that, OBC have 27% reservation and their population is double of that. I dont think any reserved category is eating generals pie. Its all about representation
and also dont forget EWS

Though I am still against reservations, I believe it can make people lazy.
As an upper cast ,I agree casteism exists in India. But how is it fair to give reservation to already rich st/sc people? What kind of compensation is this? How is that gonna fix anything?!?
Thats just unfair to us?!? Why are you geeting a reservation w a lower grade than me when I am the one w less money here.....? And I didnt even do anything?!? I was never mean to someone w a lower caste. Infact I didnt even care about all this until I found out about reservation...So yall also cant deny that your cast benefits you too.
3:10 learn to read
Not being mean to someone from the lower caste is the bare minimum ma'am. I get where you are coming from, seeing someone getting lower grades and still get into your dream uni, but even then you cannot deny the fact that people from low caste are being discriminated against even in todays world.. Just because you didn't see that happening doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Reservations exist for a reason, India before (and still is) was very biased towards the upper caste, there was a time when people from lower caste couldn't even touch the upper caste, let alone get the same opportunities as them, can you imagine how it would feel?
@ananyanair2182 But reservation isnt the solution to discrimination tho??? Like is it stopping anything ?NO. So why is it still going on? Only the economically backwards should get reservation not the rich ones.bevause liek I said earlier,WHAT KIND OF COMPENSATION IS THIS?
@ananyanair2182 Reservation only make people more casteist .Most upper caste youth doesnt even care about all this bs of hierarchy in caste and all.But they will still pass on casteist remarks to let their frustration out.
Start marrying in lower castes, the scenario will change. The same people who complain about reservations, wouldn't marry their children to lower caste officers.
is casteism a problem in India: YES
is reservation unfair: YES
All credit goes to the people who started this cycle of casteism which led to reservation and then led to hate because they have a reservation law, nowadays most of casteism I see is "They take the seat", it isn't much about the blood thing at least in urban areas

Sorry for the upcoming rant you're about to witness.
I am a 17 yr old guy in 11th grade from Jharkhand(which is a tribal state) , and since the day everyone found out that there's a thing called reservation(T_T) they started to just joke about it everyday, it was fine at first until the " Chamaar, dalit, stuff, yk how it goes.
I am not even from this religion, my family follows sarna which is a tribal religion worshipping nature ( that's pretty chill).
It feels ironic getting discriminated by outsiders in ur own indigenous land but ok.
I was always the best in maths and science related stuff in my school and my classmates often complimented for it, but now they just say "why do u need this u are ST🤡" (I don't, I am not gonna jse reservation)
I belong from an affluent family (top 3-5%) but they don't care about money when they see the caste I guess lol.
This also made me just hate religious people(judge me if u want, but they're the one doing this so what else should I do? )
You indigenious everyone migrated from africa calm down
You are totally justified in hating a vile religion. They want to end the legitimacy given to Sarna code now to turn you guys into brahmin bhakts.
Very rational point tbrf. despite people claiming there's no casteism, you can certainly see a discriminatory undertone when some people speak about topics like reservations, creamy layer. Belonging to a relatively priveleged background and living in Mumbai, i wasn't exposed to all this, until i started being active on social media..(faced racism here which is altogether a different topic).
I was not expecting much from this video by a someone around my age, till i watched. As i saw the title my mind went "oh girlie, you sure you wanna talk about??" But damn, though short, but you covered several topics and this is not a easy tppic to talk about, especially to urbanite gen z audience who were taught a out caste prejuidice as a thing of past (tbh must of us were sleeping in those social sci classes) and like to whine "caste based reservation is useless, let's remove it", the bare % of a majority group (bahujans) you see in schools/institutes is very much because of caste based reservation, if it wasn't for reservation, you would NEVER have a president from Adivasi because casteism is sooo darn strong and normative. Reservations is basically there to unsure the represention of a the chunk of Indian population which it has been denied for 2000+ years.
Hats off to you @dontmisimi for sharing your own part of the story, it js definitely not easy to speak about this to a gen z audience, especially as a person who herself is from the very background
I discovered what castism is like im college fr. To me, its insane how people, people we look up to or people who i assumed to be wise and old can so easily discriminate on the basis of where you were born, its like logic and morals just left the chat. My own parents discriminate, and when i questioned/challenged these opinions they would just mellow it out saying "you wont understand now, just know youre lucky '
I hope that made u realise that reservation can get u college easily but won't finish castism. So reservation is not helping. Alone education can help to finish castism
N if u think st sc r poor then welcome to economic based reservation
Being a ST category man, I just used to think (in school) that why people leave me after knowing my last name. And people say there's no casteism in 2024. Lol.
Good to see younger folk talking about such issues. Caste cannot be eradicated only by reservation. Social dialogue like this is also equally important. Keep up the good work.
This was a good video. This country really hates conversation about this. You shared your experience about your friends otherizing you when it came to reservations and entrance exams, I have people who I called friends once completely alienate me and they did not hesitate to verbally call out my "privilege", it was so strange, I knew that would happen but it still sucked. Choose your friends wisely, work on yourself !
I'm upper caste poor guy. N when i got to know of reservation in 11th n they mocked my dad once i left them too.
They were rich yet took st sc reservation i still don't know which category does Choudhary come in but few of choudhary friends took st sc reservation instead of obc. Rich st sc obc Don't deserve reservation. Thats major reason of college dropouts
as a sindhi teen from general category, I'm glad Sindhi Hindus, atleast in India have never adhered to the caste system or maybe some do, idk. maybe it's because of the incredibly low population of us in india but i digress. growing up, we never had caste discussions in our household but ig my family, unfortunately is against the caste based reservations because identifying ourselves by "caste" is such an alien thing for sindhi hindus. we tend to bond over our language and ethnicity only. i still dont know nor care if I'm a brahmin or kshatriya or vaishya whatever lol. thank you sm misimi for making a video on such an important yet neglected topic like this.
Sindhis do have communities, but they’re more like sedentary tribes than “castes” because Sindh (and also Punjab) are peripheral regions where brahmanical authority is not that strong. Many of these Punjabi and Sindhi tribes like Khatris, Jatts, Kambojas actually migrated from further north in Central Asia or Afghanistan after the establishment of the Varna system in the sub-continent. They don’t traditionally have any position in the “caste” hierarchy but some, like Khatris, accepted brahmanical authority later on, for which they got a “Kshatriya status” despite being merchants by profession. Irony is, the most casteist group, Rajputs, are actually composed of peasants and tribals who managed to acquire land and accepted brahmanical authority. The Brahmins gave them “Kshatriya” status and made up imaginary lineages connecting them to actual kings who were called Rajput (son of King).
But how are you all so rich?
Growing up, I didn't really know much about caste, but I was always aware that my parents' relatives were poor. My father had the opportunity to work in the central government thanks to reservations. I didn't face much discrimination because of his hard work, but I still heard remarks like, "Tujhe toh achi college mil jayegi", when applying for colleges. I got into a really good college in Gujarat, but that's when I started feeling outcast. Our roll numbers were assigned based on merit; with a total strength of over 300, the students were divided into five groups. The first two groups were those who got into the college through JEE, and groups 3 and 4 were those who got in through ACPC/Gujcet. I was in group 4.
I often heard my juniors make fun of people from groups 3&4 for not knowing proper English, as most were from the Gujarat state board. Even though I was a CBSE student, hearing those comments was very humiliating. Throughout my life, people kept asking me what kind of "Patel" I was, only for me to realize later that they were actually asking about my caste. I can't really complain much-I had a privileged life thanks to my dad. But sometimes, I'm reminded of the differences when I see others living the kind of life I might have had if my family's background were different.
Great video, though! I would like to add a few things about how we can see casteism on social media, too. People from lower backgrounds are often labeled "chapri" and are constantly mocked for the way they dress and present themselves. A lot of it might seem cringey, but calling something "cringe" and calling it "chapri" are very different, in my opinion.
You used reservation to get into a college you didn't deserved, snatched someone else's seat who must have been way better than you, and now you cry that they don't put in a pedestal in your college and they divide based on merit why won't they?? You want reservation in everyday life as well as much as you can right ???? Way to create an inefficient nation.

you will never know the pain of studying every fucking day for two whole years of your life knowing that some people who won't score the same as you do get a seat while you're left with nothing. throwing around random percentages without mentioning a source? be fr w yourself
I am an sc student, and I've felt guilty for so long because I got into iit, and my friends with better scores didn't. being in an iit, I've always felt so dumb compared to my counterparts, but apparently, there is hidden casteism that happens even here. reservation is definitely needed, but I also understand the hate a general student with a good score might feel for losing out . I loved your video; please keep coming up with more.
Atleast you are understanding where the hate and despise is coming from,, reservation is based on punishing bramhins for what there ancestors did centuries ago it's the same as say your great grandfather commited a crime but now since he is no more here govt puts you in jail and says your grandfather did so and so which sounds ridiculous but reservation is even worse than that

@peanutbutterandcoffee yeah that's what i said. I'm a Bengali bdw.
Castism is a issue but reservation never could be a solution.
The actual solution is redistribution of property and breakdown of caste through educational programmes without the influence of parents who are still the people who indoctrinate children into caste the most. This is how other democracies ended the feudal hierarchy.
Reservation is a bandaid. You don't want to solve the problem, you want to take off the bandaid.
🤣🤣🤣 do u think ur eligible enough to make a comment or give a solution for this issue
Reservation was never Financial Upliftment Scheme
It was for Social Upliftment Scheme
But Upper caste never let a Chance to be jealous
Then what is the solution?
Indian reservations were introduced as a **tool for social upliftment**, not primarily financial upliftment. They are aimed at addressing centuries of **social discrimination and inequality**, particularly the caste system, which marginalized certain communities like Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs). This systemic exclusion from education, employment, and political representation significantly hindered their ability to participate equally in society.
### Key Points to Highlight:
1. **Focus on Equality of Opportunity**:
- Before reservations, marginalized communities were systematically excluded from educational institutions, government jobs, and societal privileges. The reservation policy was designed to level the playing field by **ensuring access to opportunities** that were previously denied.
2. **Educational Access**:
- Reservation policies ensure that underprivileged communities have **access to quality education**, which empowers individuals to break the cycle of poverty and discrimination. Education leads to upward social mobility over generations, benefiting the community as a whole.
3. **Representation in Government**:
- Historically, communities like SCs and STs had little to no representation in legislative bodies or government jobs. Reservations ensure **political and administrative representation**, giving these communities a voice in decision-making processes.
4. **Social Empowerment Over Financial Assistance**:
- Reservations are not handouts but **affirmative action** to correct historical injustices. They do not provide direct financial assistance but create pathways to education and employment, leading to **self-sufficiency and empowerment**.
5. **Example of Impact**:
- Studies and examples show that **first-generation beneficiaries** of reservation often lift entire families and communities. Their success inspires others to strive for education and employment, fostering **intergenerational progress**.
6. **Global Precedents**:
- Affirmative action policies exist worldwide, including in the USA (for racial minorities), South Africa, and Brazil. These policies recognize that systemic inequalities require systemic solutions, similar to India’s reservation system.
---
### Addressing Criticisms:
While some argue that reservations should be based on financial status, caste-based discrimination is independent of economic class. An economically well-off individual from a marginalized caste still faces **social stigma and barriers** that reservations seek to address.

As a muslim i can only say that appeasement politics and increasing reservation just so politicians can catch more votes isnt going to stop discrimination. I have seen muslims in my community having severe hate for people from sc/st and its increasing only just because of all this appeasement politics towards them. Reservation and caste is nothing but a way for politicians to gain more votes(atleast now, it started for a good cause)now and they hype this up enough
Which creates more hate within the community.

i am brahmin, both my parents were brahmins, dash utkal, and my mother comes from a zameendar family, so i hve known about my privilege since the early years of my life, but it makes me very happy to see that my uncle and one of my cousins have married out of our caste,
Same happened with me during entrance exams for higher education. All merit goes out of the window when reservation is brought forward, the worst part is that since it is such an integral part of the Hindu social fabric it is hard to dismantle. i used to think educating this generation on caste will bring some change but something instilled through family values is hard to counter. Coexisting in a caste hierarchy is impossible without subjugation of the oppressed caste people and people from the oppressor caste will always feel that any attempt to bring equality is infringing on their religious right to be superior. When you've been privileged for too long, equality feels like oppression.

thank god more kids are opening up about this. i literally have this debate with UC people every other week. The amount of short-sightedness and veiled hate in urban india is insane - across caste and religious lines. Everyone is "modern" till caste and religion comes up. Plus genz, who are supposed to be "progressive" always fall in line with their parent's ideaologies - because in the end, they realise the privilege that comes with it!
Dr.B. R. Ambedkar started this reservation system only for one and a half year. Some political parties want to grab the votes of SC an ST. So, they stresses reservation system in every 5 year. I think reservation for should be poor people not for All SC/ST. Isn't it unequal for general people who are going to the same school and getting the same tuitions but one will get 40% reservation and when will have to struggle.
Dr. Ambedkar never limited reservations to “one and a half years.” That timeframe applied only to political reservations in legislatures, not education or jobs. Ambedkar knew caste discrimination wouldn’t disappear overnight. Reservations were-and remain-a tool for justice, not charity. Inequalities persist, so extensions are essential. Misrepresenting Ambedkar ignores history and ongoing oppression.
@@dontmisimibut isn't it unequal for the students?
@@dontmisimi Many general caste people suicide because of not clearing the exams whereas the people belonging to SC and st caste qualifies it with way more less marks.
It is unfair if they go to the same school. I think reservation should be for the people who go to state school. CBSE should automatically disqualify them from reservation. It's easy to check syllabus unlike income and it indicates wealth and progress in the family

thanks for making this video and sharing your experiences, it must have been hard to do. i'm indian, born and raised in the west, and casteism is rampant here within indian/south asian communities in the west as well. i come from an upper caste family and I never even knew about the caste system until I learnt about in school when they taught about hinduism because I had never faced caste discrimination and goes to show how privileged I am. only after that, I learnt more and realised casteism is all around me (at temples, parents, family members, marriage, food, generational wealth, etc). Groups in the US like Hindu American Foundation and HSS (like American RSS) want to ban teaching caste system in the US under the guise that it is "hinduphobic" the same way conservatives want to ban teaching about slavery and black history. it's incredibly messed up. the "California textbook controversy" is an example of this. once again thanks for making this, and I love your eyeliner and eye makeup!
I haven't finished this video but u are so brave for being rational and educated about this topic on a public platform lol. I am a general category student who is legally from a dominant caste but half of my family fall under the reserved category. Living with upper class/assimilated SC family memebers is so weird, in the sens ethat they are proud of ppl like Babasahed but will also parrot right wing propaganda and be ashamed of their own heritage and tell us younger ones to hide our caste background. Unlearning generational self hatred takes hard work lol
I was randomly recommended your video about white wall aesthetics and I thought to myself here is another upperclass savarna rant about nothing burger which indians can't relate. I feel so shitty now.
I have also faced the thing about having heirarchy even among uppercaste say brahmin, my friends have full on argument on this. I too have uppercaste surname "Singh" and my ex-friends used to abuse my castes and my community infront of me and I felt so helpless fucked my mental health alot. I was born in poverty in a rural place in eastern UP and lived all my life in low class standards. I never had anything fancy like iphones etc. I am at point where I can buy it but it's so fucking unbelievable that I don't because people will judge and I will become an example of BMW Iphone wala dalit.
In india money matters more than caste tbh. That is more of a british thing where family background and lineage matters.
Maybe for rich people its different but for regular people nothing makes a difference the way money does. I have noticed more discrimination from Christians because they think they are so foreign and we are their servants
That’s BS.
I am open about my caste and religion. I have been discriminated against in school and still i get taunts like why do you people get reservation? You cannot be intelligent like us, Bhimte, lower castes have lowly thoughts. But I don't care. I am proud of my Mahar people who fought against this discrimination.
It's really insightful i was born in a upper caste family (not Brahmin) and in a city due to which I never knew anything about caste and my parents were also progressive because they never mentioned anything about caste and saw every one as equal, always in my childhood the Prasad of our home temple would be eaten by watchmen,maid etc from the same plate we used to eat
If your parents didn't educate you about caste, they were not progressive. They were just fine with their privilege.
Go ahead and bring home a dalit friend with his home cooked food. You'll find out how progressive your parents are. This is how I found out about mine.
This is the bare minimum.
Why u speaking like it's a big deal to eat from the same plate and shit? That's what everyone except bigots dom
@thomascromwell6840 so what do you expect them to tell me that the maid which comes to clean our house is of lower caste, instead of dividing people through caste they taught me to see everyone as equal and each one is a normal human being like us.
@@GamingCoc-o7e and there's the caste privilege. Guess your parents were casteist after all. To consider educating people about the history of the caste system and its negative impact on our society, 'dividing people'. There is no equality if you don't even acknowledge caste oppression.
Shame on you.
@@thomascromwell6840 isn't knowledge about caste system provided by any functioning school? Why would his parents need to drill into his brain anything more?
Okay, thank you for making this video! I know you will prolly get a lot of inflamed comments, but REALLY you're becoming the best commentary channel on Indian issues ❤
I am belong from a upper caste (maratha) and l scored 98%centile and still couldn't get into any top colleges in India.. further more most of my classmates who used to belong to sc/st or OBC categories used to always make fun of me this continued till college. If there is 3-5% upper caste population in india and the maximum population is lower caste so you think only people from lower caste deserve education what about equality??? Most upper caste are working on a bigger post because they have always been 1st in every academic year. Additionally, we also have to pay lakhs even if we come in merit and people from lower caste have to pay what only 1500 inr?? There are so many campaigns in india for equality in education which justifys to just give reservation on the basis of merit and not caste.. atleast provide equality in education.. Even Dr. Baba ambedkar saheb fought for equality!! I am sorry been following for you for so long but this video looked biased..
Heard brother!
@@uzamakinaruto8943 Bro l am shano Koli maratha.. do you even know what that is?? I am from Satara... Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj??
its the ancestoral karma you're suffering nothing more, you get to enjoy the ancestral advantages so obviously you're going to suffer their karmas too and also most of the lower cast people are poor you cannot just pick handful of rich people and call the whole community rich and about equality, you can never have equality because when you were not even born equal how do you expect equality? lower caste people were oppressed and even tortured for centuries ofcourse you'll have to give them back the resources that were snatched from their ancestors, and most upper caste people work on bigger post not because they have always been 1st in academic but because they HAD opportunity they HAD resources, like when india became independent general people had generational wealth and resources while lower caste people were just starting to live like other people so tell me who would have a better chance of having higher education and jobs, the family that has employed and educated members or the one just starting out? and about the video she just told her experience nothing more how is that even biasness? is it biased just because she belongs to sc st? its you that has a very limited perspective on casteism because ofcourse how will you even have it when you were privileged enough to be just born in the upper caste and never face the discrimination and even the torture those lower caste people still face on daily basis
You are right and she's even avoiding most of the comments.
Controversy= views
And ofc the MAJORITY of the population will support bcz ofc the are larger in numbers
Mi pan 96 kuli maratha aahe ani tu khup vichitra argument det aahes. Babasaheb fought for the upliftment of marginalised castes. He fought for RESERVATIONS. Jaativad hi gosht hazaro varshanparyant chalo rahili aahe. To destroy the caste system and caste based discrimination that has been so long rooted in our culture, how can you expect only 80 years of reservations in public sector and education to do the job? Reservations are NOT about financial upliftment, they are about representation and a continuous upliftment of caste based communities. Additionally, Marathas are the largest caste in Maharashtra. There is a difference between traditional high castes like Brahmins and Dominant castes like Marathas, Reddy, Kamma etc. "Merit" is subjective. The entire indian education system is wrong and hazardous to the health of our nation and our youth. Instead of educating, organising and agitating against such an unfair system that was invented just to create a sheep like workforce for the British, you remain uneducated about the realities of caste and education and agitate against an easy target like reserved category students, because it requires less work and is more popular
If you consider reservation, a policy that has been in place for just over a century, to be unjust, then what about the caste-based discrimination that has persisted for more than 3,000 years? What about the relentless persecution that countless innocent people have suffered because of their caste or religion? Are you drawing the line at reservation, overlooking the centuries of systemic oppression that continue to shape the social fabric of this nation? Reservation has transformed the psychology of lower-caste communities by providing opportunities for education, employment, and social mobility, fostering empowerment and reducing feelings of INFERIORITY. It's important to understand that these communities were not used to being treated as equals until recently and are still trying to integrate into a society that once deemed them inferior.
im a devout hindu, and being born 'upper caste' i was praised for being so connected to god (some said it was 'fitting' for me). singing bhajans, reading the scriptures, i found it fulfilling. i believed something so wonderful as this religion of mine could possibly never harbour anything evil, as it is always defeated by good. to my horror, it thrived, prevailed even. using religion as an excuse to prove themselves 'superior', to laugh in the face of all that the scriptures taught us while using them to vindicate their own evil?
i felt lied to and betrayed. when had my religion ever dictated how inferior others are to me? inferior is the rishi who wrote the ramayan? simply because i am a 'superior' caste to him? it made me have a crisis about what my religion truly is.
i read the stories again and again, never once have our own gods shunned people for being 'inferior', who are we to do that to others? to sing praises about the gods for whom (apparently) we torment people. not drinking the water offered by them because they are 'dirty'? where shri ram ate the same fruit bitten by shabari, acknowledging her devotion, was she 'dirty' to our god? this was never about religion, these people have never cared about god.
reservation was never the problem, neither was religion. people need to cleanse their minds of the filth they are spewing. we should think of actual solutions to solve this problem instead of blaming reservation. a few simple things such as having more seats, giving access to quality education and teaching people basic decency and respect can solve the issue of reservation and caste system all together.
great video btw !!
Education makes you slave highly educated people do discrimination with logic that's the only difference just like the guy said i am not gonna drink water from the hand of sweeper.
yikes hot topic
thanks for making this we need more people in younger gen talking about this
Selective privilege gives birth to a society of untapped horror
@@smerdyakov_11 that is exactly what upper caste people were getting historically in India. Selective privileges. And now that lower caste people get to have an education these people feel threatened. Reservation is so that both upper and lower caste people have the same starting line; because most of the times, upper caste people have many advantages over their lower caste counterparts.
one time I was talking with my friends about admissions and which college we were aiming for and it was a very normal convo till someone decided to bring up caste. They were like you don't have to worry caste ki vajah see tujhe to mil hi jayega mehnat to hume karni padti hai. mind you I was smarter than all of them scored more and even was in the top ranks in my class while all of them were like average at best. they were worried about losing their seat because of reservation but they wouldn't get in even if they were from sc-st. while I got into college based on my score and it's a good college but they are studying abroad or at better private institutes after giving donations.
another time we were all just talking in college and the topic of how we got admissions and what were our choices and when I said that I got in the first round so I didn't apply to other places in the second round because I was satisfied with the course I got into and not many colleges offer this and before even I finish saying this one of the guys said ohh it must be because of reservations. I think the mindset that reservation is taking out seats is very wrong because even without reservation their chances of getting in are so low because of our large population and lack of seats and better opportunities. and we need to improve our education infrastructure first it's not like we don't have good institutes or anything but they are mostly private and because of that even upper-caste middle-class students are not getting opportunities.
"I was in 10th standard when I discovered that my English teacher, who belonged to an upper caste, would discourage my friends, also from the upper caste, from talking to me and eating with me. When I found out, I was shocked! As a teacher, how could she behave in such a way towards me?"😢
Is this my mistake that i belong to a so called lower caste!!
So did u get it? Learned something?
Education can't help to clean castism
She disliked u for ur future who will take reservations not for caste u can easily complaint bout teacher otherwise 10th u were in
@@Pandeyziipandit Doesnt justify casteism
It’s absolutely infuriating how the concept of caste has been twisted into something entirely different from what it was originally meant to signify in Hinduism. i was born into a so-called "Brahmin" family but that doesn’t automatically make me a true Brahmin. The literal meaning of being a Brahmin is being a scholar and the pursuit knowledge, it is not smth in lineage or birthright. By that standard, I cannot yet claim to be one, as my understanding remains limited since i’ve only studied two or three scriptures so far. This distortion of caste has stripped it of its true meaning, turning what was once a system based on qualities (guna) and actions (karma) into an oppressive and divisive hierarchy. It’s a betrayal of the values our scriptures upheld, where one’s worth was determined by their deeds and character, not their birth. This manmade custom has consistently undermined its true religious essence.
much needed video
keep it up bro we love your videos
that’s a relief😭
It's nice to see you sharing your past and present experiences of you and around you. It's nice to see young generation standing up and talking about such ropics because just by sweeping these topics under the rug won't bring changes.
Experiences shaoe people. Your experiences and of peopel around would shape your mindset. About the oeiple who you or other commentors may think are "pissed off" are speaking based on their social experiences. I have my own.
I follow facts and lectures of researchers deep in these topics.
As a lower middle class indian girl, neither a brahmin nor a reserved category, but from unreserved (UR) catefory in my cutoffs, I'd like to share some points of my own (I'd make a video too but nah) which would probably be better in bringing 'change' beneficial for all and share my experience too.
1. Start standing up for yourself. When you see see or experience discrimination by any UC in todays time, dont keep quiet. No need it ro bear it. Call it out upfront. You never know you might change their previously unlearned faulty mindset. Bring it to their attention of what they have said and make them realise it. I dont mean by it to 'start fighting' altogether. Conversations, discussions can happen in a civil manner. I know i understand it can be exhausting but please try.
2. Understand ghe difference between welfare and freebies. Dont let political parties wnd government use your social discrimination for their vote bank. Ultimately ALL political parties are corrupt and wont to stay in power, for that they'll issue statements and take then back shamelessly.
Instead, of being easily swayed, see who is offering what and with what agenda.
3. I agree with your point you pinned above about more seats, educational institutions.
4. I agree about reservation being representation.
5. I have studied in college in 2018 (why I mention the year I'll share below) a minor subject called 'marginalised sector of the society', most of you maybe surprised to know that there are LAYERS even in reserved category and who gets what reservation quota. Even in SC, ST, OBC reserved categories there are creamy and non creamy layers, and reservation max goes to the section which can actually afford the education without reservation while those even lower marginally dont get to while being feom the reserved categories. So now what? What are the solutions here? Surely top later won't renounce their reservation for the bottom layer?
6. The EWS quota that exists for general is actually not just for general.
For example in the housing schemes by the govt, the houses which govt allots after registration, there are quotas there too. Which is fine.
This i learned just yesterday though, for the EWS quota, a general family has to pay 72,000rs for registration, while a reserved category family has to pay 36,000. So if a genral family is applying through EWS who has guessed that they have 36000 twice the money?
↓
This is not me blaming you but trying to bring to your attention that in the name of reservation while a section of society (i refuse to address anyone as lower or upper caste) is getting representation, another section is getting ripped off brutally.
Max people stand in support for the sections that suffered by the hands of oppressors, while those who still discriminate 1. We dont count them as ours. 2. Are reducing in number hopefully.
So please stand up for tour brothers and sisters too from the UR category. Why? Because we dont want any more than you or for you to get any less. This divide in itself of 'we' and 'you' is still being cutlivated by external parties dont let them fertilise it further.
7. Reducing of passing marks. Recently (i forgot in whcih state or was it maharashtra) the passing marks for SC, STs were reduced to 20 out of 100. Why? What is this going to prove? Reservation is representation, what is this then? Why are such freebies accepted with open arms? Why do SC,STs not take it as an insult on their intellect that they cant score even 50 marks as their fellow peers? Instead of giving in to ANY or ALL the feeebies provided for appeasement and vote banks, learn to stand up for your pride too. You people are no less in intellect. My bestfriend is SC and is more successful than me. And i say this as a proud best friend not comparison.
My experience:
Why and when for the first time I was exposed to the while "caste and reservation system."
In 2016, i appeared for LLB DU entrance exam. I was frwshwlf graduate from DU after BA where the fees was merely 6000 for generals dont know for reserved category, surely even lower.
I invited my friend who was confused in his career but studying for IAS at regular coachings to appear for entrance exam as practice since topics were gonna be similar for him. He wasn't interested i insisted.
He was out of mechanical engineering feom hyderabad had just shifted to delhi for IAS coachings. Btw we weren't new sudden friends, we had been friends for about 3-4 ywars by then. Fees must have been higher in his collede ofc. That wasn't much problem. He could even afford monthly plane trips to and from hyd to his parents to delhi his grandparents he was staying with. He was easily upper middle class/rich class.
We gave the exam i had just 1-2 months of prep and he had months of IAS prep on his hands, coincidentally we scored similar on the exam, with around 5-5 marks difference.
My rank was 6000 in general, his 150 in SC. He got in i didnt. It was my dream my chosen career, he wasnt even interested he wanted IAS but when he got the seat he booked it.
Dont take it as me blaming him LOL. i believe in destiny so i let my dream go bc i had no other choice, no long after, like 2 months later, i lost my father so i had no option to give the entrance again next year and had to chsnge career path to start earning, bc of which I'm still displaced in my career btw.
My only question is why did her deserve that seat more than me? And anyone who wishes to answer, answer it OBJECTIVELY. Its not even like my ancestors were Brahmins or among the oppressors of the society so why i and people like me suffer?
We see your pain. See our pain too. Dont misunderstand anyone who is speaking as being pissed off, like i said everybody speaks from their experiences. Now to this anyone may say don't blame SC, STs blame the govt.
Well by that logic other people too are only blsming the govt and it's freebies providing system, its reservation providing system for APPEASEMENT, its not an attack direxted towards SC,STs. When these peopel revolt they dont want the reservation to be scrapped off neither do i support that, reservation should be there at all costs but for those who actually desperately need it, such as the middle and bottom layers of SC,ST,OBCs. OR RATHER
Reservation should be there for EWS of the society altogether without a caste distinction otherwise there's no end to the caste hierarchy as long as everyone from reserved keeps seeing themselves as different and separate entity.
There should be strong quota for PWD & EWS imo.
Reducing of passing marks definitely needs to be scrapped off for everyone no matter gender, caste, religion, unless there are exceptional cases.
SCHOLARSHIPS should be provided to maximum candidates who dont get in outside of quote no matter what caste.
I could sit and write and suggest more but its already a long comment which i dont think anyone's gonna read. So. Anyway. Anyone who read till here i wish you wellness and wisdom. Tc.
Very true, amazing video. People just forget that reservation is not to ensure economic prosperity but social equality and de-establishing this heirarchal system based on birth.
6:52 🔥 sad reality
kindly i urge everyone to read about PERIYAR .
More than 2/3rd of India's population lives in rural area, and rural areas face discrimination the most. Just because you haven't experienced it doesn't means discrimination doesn't exist!
I grew up in a rural area and that's not true lol. Majority of the people there will be of the same native caste and many of them will be in power (local politicians, police, government employee, landlord) and that type of status matters more. Nothing matters as much as being the majority, having money and having power. That's how the world works.
Upper castes are more privileged in cities because they are more likely to be educated and can get good jobs in IT or financial sector. And urban places are so mixed, being a minority doesn't matter. Education is useless in rural areas. There you're just a minority with no advantage
@BronsonDeVille I couldn't agree more
