In another state! 05 Dalit #manualscavengers killed! Upper-castes will now ask for their caste IDs and try to delete systemic #caste #oppression in this incident. India is a fantasy of contradictions it is #Vishwaguru (world leader) who kills its most oppressed #Dalits every day

In MP's Morena, 05 sanitation workers killed due to asphyxiation while cleaning a septic tank at a food factory. Manual scavenging is a crime but the governments completely fail to enforce it.

The geo-political space that one acquires by the 'accident of one's birth' (caste in India) comes with disadvantages in access, opportunities, and the weight of everyday discrimination. @OxfordLawFac @BalliolOxford

I argue here how even after putting aside the many illegalities of EWS quota, it can never achieve its objective while explaining its many incoherences.

बिल्कुल नहीं! भाई, आप सत्य की खोज में एक शैक्षिक हैं, तो आप झूठ फैला क्यों रहे हैं ? CJI Chandrachud ने जो कहा उसे गलत तरीके से पेश कर रहे हैं? वह इस मुद्दे प��� @nitinmeshram_ से चकित थे और अगर इस तरह के अतार्किक को स्वीकार कर लिया जाए तो यह दलित समुदाय के लिए कितना खतरनाक है!

Not to ignore the active sabotaging attempts made by Congress and NCP in the past against Dalit leadership but this election was different. Our leader @Prksh_Ambedkar ji would have won with INDIA alliance as INC+VBA had 2 lakh combined margin over BJP 🥲

In this article @alenawrites and I bring out how Supreme Court's jurisprudence on manual scavenging perpetuates the heinous practice by extending a differential treatment to it through ignorance of its own human dignity jurisprudence. #manualscavenging #Dalit #discrimination

Publication alert! 🥳 NGOs & scholars claim that the way forward is to enforce the existing law on manual scavenging. @wankhedeasang and I beg to differ. In our new paper, we ask to what extent the Supreme Court of India can eradicate manual scavenging.

Parallels between Rājyābhiṣeka(Vedic ceremony of coronation) and the symbolism of formally instituting of Hindu Raj, Hindu Rashtra in India without amending the Constitution. This is a display of the administrative efforts taken for exactly doing that. 2/2 Photos- @Outlookindia
