On #AmbedkarJayanti, let’s revisit the overlooked legacy of the Dalit movement in colonial Gujarat. While mainstream narratives center Maharashtra, Gujarat too was part of Bombay Province, where Ambedkar emerged as a pan-Dalit leader as early as the 1920s. doi.org/10.1080/146089…

Greetings to everyone on Ambedkar Jayanti. Ambedkar is an energy that can neither be created nor destroyed; he can only be transferred from one generation to another. #AmbedkarJayanti2025

Full power to this.

The history of India begins with the Nagas, who were the mulnivasi of India. Babasaheb has told the entire history of the Nagas and their struggle with Brahmanism in his book Caste in India, film director Pa Ranjit has depicted this truth in his film Thangalaan. Masterpiece!

भारत में "महात्मा गांधी राष्ट्रीय ग्रामीण रोज़गार गारंटी अधिनियम (मनरेगा)" गरीबी उन्मूलन कार्यक्रम है।गरीबी रेखा के नीचे रहने वालों को सरकार 5किलो अनाज भी देती है।सरकार चाहे तो उनको फीस में छूट भी दे।परन्तु आरक्षण को गरीबी उन्मूलन कार्यक्रम ना बनाए। यह वंचितों का प्रतिनिधित्व है।

No one is united with you. The reality is that you are seeking cheap publicity and want to become a leader of the so-called upper castes. I can sense your frustration after just a few years of reservations, so imagine the other side with thousands years of caste oppression.

You are fighting for nothing, only seeking to preserve your caste privileges, which are now being questioned by marginalized sections in the democratic spaces. Historically, people have been divided along caste lines, with Brahminical forces at the core of these divisions.

Dear Colleague Greetings. It gives me great pleasure to share the Brochure for the 49th AISC at @BMLUniv, Gurgaon, Haryana from 22nd to 24th December 2024. Looking forward to your presence and participation. Warm Regards, @maitrayeechaud1 insoso.org/sites/default/…

In the name of meritocracy, the hidden language of caste functions to exclude a large number of people, a fact that everyone is aware of. Moreover, the concept of 'merit' is constructed in a way that reinforces these exclusions.

The Indian Sociological Society, in collaboration with BML Munjal University, School of Liberal Studies, is excited to announce that the 49th All India Sociological Conference will be held at BML Munjal University, Gurugram, from December 22 to December 24, 2024.
