These "exciting experiences" are then sold to white people in University apps as being at the receiving end of State repression is the upholding the Savarna legacy of benefiting from the traumas of the oppressed.

Chetan Ahimsa's arrest for criticising a judge's misogynistic comments against a rape survivor underscores the impunity of an institution supposedly tasked with maintaining "checks and balances" in a democracy. #ChetanAhimsa #jaibhim_ChetanAhimsa

Yet those whose sense of touch continues to be enmeshed with caste are considered to be best suited aka "most meritorious" for a profession the ethos of which is care. #Merit

She was crying and while attempting to walk accidentally leaned on a doctor for support. The doctor glared at her said "haath nahin lagana" (do not touch me). The mere touch of a person from a marginalised community was enough to repulse the Savarna doc

It's all very well to denounce some abstract notion of Brahminical power. The real work lies in challenging Brahminism in one's daily life and intimate spaces that most "allies" seem reluctant to do.
