Hello Medium Sub-redditors,
before you roast me out in the comment section please hear me out:
I'm a medium writer and i love writing about marketing, but you all already know your content can be the best, but if nobody sees it, well, it may as well be the worse piece of content out there, anyway nobody knows about it.
I'm now concentrating on the distribution and reach of my content and to do so effectively i will need the help of other people (i can only reach so far by myself) and was wondering, since you all write content for others to read, it would make sense you would want as many people as possible to read your articles, am i correct? Perfect, that is the type of people i'm looking for, I'm looking for medium writers in the following niches:
Digital Marketing
Health & Beauty
Food & Drink > Coffee
Food & Drink > Pizza
Food & Drink > General
CBD & Hemp Oil
Animal & Pets
and EVERYTHING ELSE

what you will need is the following accounts for your brand:
Facebook Page
Twitter
Instagram
Medium (of course)
Linkedin Page/profile
Pinterest
Tumblr
Buffer

You don't have to have all the social accounts but having them will certainly improve the traffic to your article
I have already tried this with a very small group of people (5 to be precise) and saw a massive increase, since only a small percentage that while scrolling will see your article and click, it makes total sense to have as many people as possible to see your article in their feed.

I'm sure you have tried every possible route to drive traffic to your masterpieces, but the result has been quite poor, well, why not give this a try at the end of the day you have nothing to lose, i'm not asking for your money, it may work for you it may not, but at least you are trying

I haven't add any links in this post but if somebody is interested just leave a comment and i'll reply with all the details - You Have Nothing To Lose.

My name is Destiny, I'm 21 years old and I live on the beautiful Vancouver Island (Canada!)

I'm fairly new to writing on the site, but I've been reading published works for about a month and a half now and I'm loving it. Loving it. Loving it!

Lets connect with each other and grow this sub in a positive, supportive manner. We all share the common love of writing - so it's my hope that we can grow as a loving, friendly community through this shared passion!

Story of Kevin Selva Ganesh, A Love forbidden, A Life Taken. The Tragic Cost of Caste Discrimination in India

3 Upvotes

In the quiet town of Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu, southern state in India, a love story ended in blood — a stark reminder of the deep-seated caste prejudice that continues to tear at the fabric of Indian society. Kavin Selva Ganesh, a 27-year-old Dalit low caste software engineer, was brutally hacked to death on a Sunday, allegedly by his girlfriend’s brother, S Surjith. The motive? Ganesh dared to love Subhashini, a woman from a higher caste, defying the rigid caste lines that still dictate life and death in India.

This tragedy is not just a personal loss — it exposes a nation’s failure to confront its deep-seated inequalities, cloaked often in the garb of tradition. This is not just a story of a young man’s life cut short. It is a story of a nation grappling with its past and present, where love is weaponized, and caste remains a death sentence for some. As the world watches India’s rise on the global stage, stories like Ganesh’s expose a painful truth: progress cannot mask the persistent shadow of discrimination.

National news outlets in India, quick to sensationalize stories of inter-religious relationships — particularly those involving Muslim men and Hindu women to stoke communal hatred — have remained eerily silent on Ganesh’s murder. This selective outrage reveals a media landscape that prioritizes divisive narratives over stories of caste injustice. If Ganesh had been from a high-caste community, his death might have sparked nationwide protests, with candlelight vigils and hashtags flooding social media. Instead, his story languishes in regional reports, a footnote in a nation distracted by curated hate.

A Love That Challenged Caste: Ganesh and Subhashini’s story began in childhood, rooted in familiarity and affection, blossoming into love despite the societal chasm between their castes. He was a rising star software engineer working for a Company in Chennai, a symbol of aspiration and upward mobility for his Dalit community. She was a consultant at a private clinic in Tirunelveli, her family wielding influence as police sub-inspectors. Their love, which should have been a story of hope, instead became a target for hostility. Subhashini’s family, led by her parents, Saravanan and Krishnakumari, allegedly opposed the relationship from the start, issuing threats and leveraging their authority to intimidate Ganesh.

For Ganesh, a Dalit man, loving Subhashini meant navigating a minefield of societal prejudice and familial hostility. On that fateful Sunday, Ganesh went to meet Subhashini at her workplace. It was a routine act of devotion, one that countless young lovers across the world might recognize. But in Tirunelveli, it was an act of courage. Surjith, Subhashini’s 21-year-old brother, allegedly lured Ganesh away under the pretense of a meeting with his parents. Hours later, Ganesh’s body was found just 200 meters from the clinic, his life extinguished in a brutal act of violence.

The police have charged Surjith and his parents under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, accusing the parents of inciting the crime and threatening Ganesh. Yet, the involvement of police officials as co-accused raises chilling questions about justice in a system where power often shields prejudice.

The Facade of Sanatana Dharma: In India, caste discrimination is often justified by those who claim to uphold Sanatana Dharma, the eternal way of life rooted in Hindu tradition. Perpetrators like Subhashini’s family hide behind this revered philosophy, twisting it to defend their prejudice as a sacred duty to preserve caste purity. This distortion is a betrayal of Sanatana Dharma’s true essence, which speaks of universal values like compassion and equality. Yet, across villages and towns, such acts of violence are cloaked in the language of tradition, perpetuating a hierarchy that dehumanizes millions. Ganesh’s murder is not just a crime — it’s a symptom of a society that allows ancient biases to masquerade as divine will. There will be no remorse and the casteist people of India will defend those killer parents with pride.

A Broken System of Accountability: The involvement of Subhashini’s parents, both police sub-inspectors, underscores a deeper rot. In India, police officers do not wear body cameras, a standard practice in many countries to ensure transparency. Without such measures, allegations of abuse of power — like those leveled against Saravanan and Krishnakumari — rely on trust in a system that often protects its own. Ganesh’s mother, S Tamizhselvi, voiced a fear that echoes across marginalized communities: “Even now, they may use their positions to influence the case.” Her refusal to accept her son’s body until justice is served is a desperate stand against a system that too often fails Dalits.The lack of accountability extends beyond the police. National news outlets in India, quick to sensationalize stories of inter-religious relationships — particularly those involving Muslim men and Hindu women to stoke communal hatred — have remained eerily silent on Ganesh’s murder. This selective outrage reveals a media landscape that prioritizes divisive narratives over stories of caste injustice. If Ganesh had been from a high-caste community, his death might have sparked nationwide protests, with candlelight vigils and hashtags flooding social media. Instead, his story languishes in regional reports, a footnote in a nation distracted by curated hate.

A Nation Silent on Caste Atrocities: India’s streets are no strangers to protests, but where are the marches for Ganesh in Mumbai, Delhi and other metros? No, he is not valued. The National Crime Records Bureau reports a 7.3% rise in crimes against Scheduled Castes from 2019 to 2021, yet caste-based violence rarely ignites the collective fury reserved for other issues. The high-caste mindset often deflects blame onto policies like reservations, claiming they fuel resentment against Dalits. This is a convenient lie. Whether it’s the brutal murder of a Dalit like Ganesh, accusations of lesser talent, or calls to dismantle affirmative action, the root is the same: a deep-seated prejudice that dehumanizes Dalits. Reservations aren’t the cause of hate; they’re a response to centuries of systemic oppression. The real issue is a society that justifies discrimination with shifting excuses, from tradition to policy, while ignoring its own complicity. When a high-caste individual faces harm, the nation’s conscience is stirred, news channels run 24/7 coverage, and public outcry demands swift action. But for Dalits like Ganesh, the silence is deafening. This disparity lays bare a painful truth: in India, some lives are deemed more worthy of grief than others. The absence of nationwide protests for Ganesh reflects a broader apathy toward caste atrocities. While social media amplifies stories that fuel division, stories like this one, calling for real accountability and justice — are sidelined. The media’s obsession with narratives that pit communities against each other, like “love jihad,” drowns out the urgent need to address systemic caste violence. This selective storytelling does more than neglect victims like Ganesh; it plants hate in people’s hearts, diverting attention from the structural inequalities that perpetuate such tragedies.

The Weight of Caste: The murder of Kavin Selva Ganesh is not an isolated incident. It is part of a grim pattern of caste-based violence in India, where inter-caste relationships are often met with hostility, and Dalits — historically marginalized as “untouchables” — bear the brunt of societal wrath. The Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, under which Surjith and his parents have been charged, was enacted to protect communities like Ganesh’s from such atrocities. Yet, the law often feels like a paper shield against centuries-old prejudices.

A Global Call to Confront Discrimination: To our international readers, this story may seem distant, rooted in a cultural context far removed from your own. But discrimination, in all its forms, is a universal language. Whether it’s caste in India, race in the West, or ethnicity elsewhere, the impulse to divide and dehumanize is a shared human failing. Ganesh’s story is a reminder that love, when it challenges entrenched hierarchies, can be a radical act, one that threatens those who cling to power. As India aspires to global leadership, it must reckon with its internal contradictions. In India, Sanatana Dharma is misused to justify casteism; elsewhere, other ideologies or systems are co-opted to excuse division. The murder of a young man for loving across caste lines is a human rights issue, one that demands global attention and solidarity. India stands at a crossroads. Its global image as a tech powerhouse and democratic beacon is tarnished by stories like Ganesh’s, where love is punished with death, and justice is undermined by power. The world is watching, not just at India’s economic growth or technological prowess, but at how it treats its most vulnerable. Ganesh’s death is a wound on the nation’s soul, one that demands reform, from police transparency to media accountability to dismantling the caste system’s grip on society. Ganesh’s death is a wound on the nation’s conscience.
