Ambedkar believed the city would set Dalits free. But it didn't. He argued villages were caste's natural fortress — rigid, inescapable. Cities offered anonymity; liberation from caste structures. Shailaja Paik's ‘Dalit Women's Education in Modern India’ documents how that promise collapsed. As Paik documents the example of Pune, its inner core — Sadashiv, Narayan, Shaniwar peths had been Chitpavan Brahman territory since the 17th CE. Peshwas deliberately engineered Sadashiv peth into the city's most prosperous space — water supply, markets, finest schools. Within these peths grew a "true Puneri" culture — ‘pure’ Marathi, specific manners — that strategically locked out Dalits. Dalit settlements were pushed to the outer rings: Yerawada, Vishrantvadi, Hadapsar. With the Poona Cantonment's establishment in 1818, Dalit localities sprouted around military barracks and the Khadki ammunition factory — spatially tethered to servitude. Droughts in 1966, 1967, 1972 and 1973 drove fresh waves of migrants into these same slums. By 1981, SCs were 9.87% of Pune's population but overwhelmingly concentrated in slums — by 1984, 340 slum pockets housed 33% of the city, most of it Dalit. Peripheral geography meant peripheral citizenship. In the 1930s, of 1,370 Fergusson College students, only 14 were Backward Class boys, zero were girls. By the 1980s, 54.43% of Pune district’s SCs remained illiterate. By 2001, the enrollment gap between SCs and the general population diminished considerably, SC girls' primary enrollment reached 43% nationally. But spatial segregation persisted, only its form altered. In the early 20th CE Dalit children sat in dust outside classrooms and in 2002 Prakshoti Pawar found accessing Sadashiv peth for classes practically impossible — finances stretched, patriarchal rules demanded she be home before dark, and the polis remained culturally alien. Even mobile Dalit families moving from Yerawada into flats on its margins remained stranded — rickshaw drivers refused to enter after dark, dropping passengers at main road landmarks. This Dalit History Month, Paik's research reminds us — a century after Ambedkar placed his faith in the city, the city has failed.

Seeing the lose of Hopium among commies on X makes me think LDF might just win

Odisha is the largest bauxite-producing state in India. This is not the first time that a Vedanta-led bauxite mining project bid has drawn opposition in the state, explains @bisoyisujit87. indianexpress.com/article/explai…

Every hindutva guy sees his fellow hindu as only a disposable pawn to be sacrificed in his imagined game of chess. But somehow always imagines himself the King instead. Then when modi treats him as disposable instead he suddenly acts surprised. x.com/darrybrachman/…

Oman is the definition of "Do nothing, Win"

More than half of Odisha’s Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups have been left out of key welfare schemes, a CAG audit has found. The report reveals: ➡️ 160,000 vulnerable tribals left out of key programmes till March 2024 despite a dedicated empowerment scheme ➡️ Gaps in OPELIP coverage ➡️ Non-functional Micro Project Agencies ➡️ Unspent funds ➡️ Poor implementation of a child marriage prevention scheme Read the full report by @bsrivas downtoearth.org.in/governance/mor…

What’s happening in Sijhimali, Rayagada should outrage every conscience that still believes in justice. Sijhimali is not just a local issue. It is a test of whether this country respects its indigenous people—or exploits them into silence. When Adivasis say NO to mining on their sacred hills, it is not ignorance—it is resistance rooted in history, culture, and survival. Jal, Jangal, Zameen is not a slogan. It is life. And yet, Why are all major political parties, except left parties, suddenly silent? Is corporate interest now louder than constitutional rights? Stand with the tribals. Stand for justice. Or admit your silence is complicity. #Sijhimali #Rayagada #AdivasiLivesMatter #StopForcedMining #JalJangalZameen

absolute meltdown on zionist twitter lmao

She is a first time MLA from Bihar and has done no work in her constituency so far, but has been travelling across states for concerts and BJP election rallies. She does not seem in any hurry or even bothered to work like an MLA. She represents a pattern seen in majority of BJP MLAs and MPs, who may be replaced after one election. A new such lots will likely be brought in next time.. How long will voters fool themselves?

I thought Naxalism was defeated @BJP4India ?

So here is a question. Given naxalism has been defeated, why is the police still using firearms and shells on villagers? cc: @suchitrav.

He actually said "it's a complex problem we are still trying to understand" and the Karma example was just used as one of the different complexities involved in shaping people's consciousness.

The American people are desperate to be bombed to get rid of their regime denying them basic rights such as paid paternal leave and universal healthcare. I talked to my cousin in the States, he said people are praying for Iranian missiles. The US regime, the biggest sponsor of terrorism in the world, is at its weakest point right now and the American people want an end to oligarchy and foreign interference. If anybody wants to invite me on their show so I can express my deepest concern for the American people and their desires for Iranian missiles, while living in Europe, please let me know. I can also wear high heels, a miniskirt and dance for you.

A young influencer makes a funny video about Modi ji’s “Sapna Sapna.. khi khi”… govt orders it to be taken down. Some kids from Galgotia make vlogs mentioning free attendance in exchange of attending Modi’s rally.. taken down. Independent journalists and channels.. blocked. But Madhu Kishwar posting about “Modi’s industrial scale sex crimes” and “Modi’s hand in the Air India crash that led to CM Rupani’s death” and there is no reaction from the government. What power does this woman hold ?
