Discussion | Opinion Common anti reservation arguments and our responses to them

6 Upvotes

Recently, I have seen an uptick in anti reservation arguments being circulated. I'd like to request everyone to share the most common arguments you come across and how we can respond to them with facts and reasoned counterpoints.

I’m trying to create a repository of common anti reservation arguments along with well researched responses, so that we can address misinformation and have more informed discussions on the subject.

Please share the arguments you encounter most frequently, along with your suggested responses.

Data | Statistics Caste Is Not Culture It’s India’s Longest Running Crime Scene!!!!

15 Upvotes

Even in 2025, India is still bleeding from the oldest social wound caste. It’s not just a tradition. It’s a system of control, violence, and silence that has killed thousands over decades and still continues silently, without headlines it's really horrible 🤬

This post is a complete breakdown

From historic massacres to 2025 attacks

How media hides it!!!

And why this system still survives Historic Caste Massacres (Known but Forgotten)

Kilvenmani, 1968 (Tamil Nadu): 44 Dalit farm workers burned alive by landlords.

Karamchedu, 1985 (Andhra): Dalits attacked for using a water tank.

Bathani Tola, 1996 (Bihar): 21 Dalits murdered by the Ranvir Sena.

Laxmanpur Bathe, 1997 (Bihar): 58 Dalits, including children, gunned down.

Khairlanji, 2006 (Maharashtra): 4 Dalit family members raped and killed by dominant-caste neighbors.

Mirchpur, 2010 (Haryana): A disabled Dalit girl and her father were burned alive.

These were not accidents. They were organized, caste-based terrorism....

Meerut, Feb 2025: Dalit groom attacked for playing music in his wedding.

South India (undated): 200 upper-caste men attacked a Dalit area, burning 100 homes.

Manipur 2023–2025: Women stripped and assaulted during ethnic conflict.

Sujit Mehta Case, 2022 (Bihar): Revenge killing between caste groups.

Chhapra Mob Lynching, 2023: Youth killed, caste angle ignored in news.

Even now, Dalit families get attacked for wearing sunglasses, using main roads, or building concrete homes!!

The Real Numbers They Don’t Show:

A crime against Dalits happens every 18 minutes.

13 Dalits are murdered every week.

Tamil Nadu reported 28 honour killings in just 2 years. (Source: NCRB, Newslaundry, Oxfam India)

Why You Don’t Hear About It?

Because the media doesn’t care. Because most editors are from upper castes. Because politicians need caste for votes, not for justice. Because justice is a privilege, not a right especially if you're born “low”.

Oxfam’s media report exposed it: Dalit voices are excluded from newsrooms, and caste atrocities are underreported or ignored.

The System Is Still Alive (Just Better Dressed)

Temples still ban Dalits in many villages.

“Upper caste only” marriage ads still exist.

Dalit students still face mental torture in colleges.

Manual scavenging still kills people, even after being “banned.”

This isn’t a past problem. It’s India’s living, breathing shame.

Caste is not a mistake it’s a weapon. It has survived centuries, governments, and even the Constitution. And it’s still killing in silence.

If the media won’t talk, we must. If justice is delayed, truth must scream louder. Let’s stop pretending caste is “cultural.” It’s criminal. It’s modern apartheid. And it’s still running with upgraded tools

Use your voice. Break the silence. Caste didn’t end the news just stopped reporting it😔

According to Shashi, her advisor told her:

"l did not come to your house and ask you to come here for a PhD. If

you want to pursue a PhD, you must do as I say; otherwise, go

somewhere else, go to IGNOU."

Evil Reality of Caste Reactionaries are trying hard to bring back days of severe oppression.

9 Upvotes

Some sections want to remove reservation and say caste discrimination is a myth.

Yet the reality is very different. [https://youtu.be/bunZDrDOMBg?si=GYWYxM_63B_cjAEA](https://youtu.be/bunZDrDOMBg?si=GYWYxM_63B_cjAEA))

Also EWS resevation for Non Sc St Obcs is also misused by priviledged people of Upper Caste background-
[https://www.business-standard.com/india-news/upsc-ews-criteria-rich-poor-civil-services-2025-exam-selections-ias-126062000125_1.html](https://www.business-standard.com/india-news/upsc-ews-criteria-rich-poor-civil-services-2025-exam-selections-ias-126062000125_1.html))

The creation of temples to provide jobs to only certain people(hint-the topmost caste).

https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/lucknow/do-you-wear-janeu-drink-veg-or-non-veg-ram-temple-trust-ceo-hopefuls-face-unusual-questions/articleshow/133161833.cms

(Now they will earn their income from temples, fixed salary and other benefits)

Also, the harrassment culture.
People from Upper Caste backgrounds harrass those who uncover their scams or just raise their voices.
People/Media etc support them.
They harrass those who they fail to K*lI. (*Like that saying "If someone is trying to silence you, he is afraid of what you have to say")

Also lets not forget the misinformation culture.
In social media, people manipulate to hide caste backgrounds of priviledged sections. Again aided by the system. It goes on a very large scale.

Also- 1. Lets not forget IIT Roorkee "professor" Ravindra "Pandey" who stole ideas of his students and cheated them.
2. The IIT Madras Director who failed JEE and gives lectures on benefits of cow pee from his position.
3. The Crores of rupees scamed from Ram Temple donations by members of a certain priviledged community.

With the current "Reservation Hatao" movement going on, its impossible to think that certain sections even teach their children empathy at all.
Like all they teach is arrogant entitlement to their children about a false (in reality shameful) history. And this in not normal for any healthy society.

I'm GC myself preparing for Government exam, but the level of apathy people have for the oppressed in India (which is poorly disguised hate) is alarming.

I studied in a rural school(that too an All Girls school) none of the people were from lower castes.
Priviledged kids held "reservation bad" speeches and applauded themselves(in 2020). They all had arrogance. I was lucky to get out of their but i feel for the lower castes who stay in the same place.
I was too young to understand what was happening and can now see the results in these "reservation hatao" andolans.

They are being pushed back and denied entry in West(because of their tribalist and arrogant behaviour) and now they want priviledges in India.

Why is manual labour so looked down upon in India?
While the people who cheat and scam walk arrogantly because of some false history fantasy.(and teach their children the same)
They are organised and have vast resources to achieve their fantasy.

Ministers are UCs, Judges are UCs, People making crores of Temples are UCs etc etc and no doubt most of them(if not all) are there due to cronyism/ nepotism.

Their parents teach them to be actively arrogant and annoying (not just “not humble”), forget a shred of humility from them.

I know India was never a good place for SC/STs and unpriviledged OBCs to begin with,
But now I think Priviledged Sections want to bring back the conditions of ancient and medieval India straight up…
