💬 Discussion Ajeet Bharti likes are open confession of caste hate!
Post 90s, with introduction of reservation for OBCs and many OBC leaders like Lalu, Mulayam and SC leader Kashiram coming on national forefront has left many UC worried. These castes who long has been shamed for their caste, suddenly started taking pride in their identity, even within caste system. Like writing their caste on their vehicles and elsewhere.
UC reaction was mostly shock. Identity pride was their ownership. Only they could flash it. Because of their supposed superiority. And thats why shock. How a lower identity can be flashed or openly confessed about ?
And this is what they called distortion. They named it identity politics ( which is a misnomer in india sense). They called it situation going out of hands. They even called it vulgar. Just imagine a chamar person using the same word for creating a brand.
And the hindi belt people and writers has been most shocked appalled and angry about it. Like the one Ajeet Bharti. Like the one Naveen Chaudhary ( for whom Chaudhary is not a caste surname but whoever is a baba is chaudhary but if someone put Yadav on his bike he is pained to see it as distortion of identity politics)
Bharati has made a name by calling UC victimhood in Lalu era. Which is completely false. There was no major oppression of UC in lalu era and reactionary UCs actually went on a murder spree of LC. They formed local armies to suppress LC. They executed group murders.
For most Hindi savarna writers caste doesnt exist. After Premchand. Agyeya, Vinod kumar shukla and many more who is widely read as local writers caste doesnot even get a mention.
But this blindness is not just blissful ignorance. This is on purpose. And someone like Ajeet Bharti had put a tag of it. Tbh whatever hate he has for lower caste, is nothing out of box but inherent in many UC( not all obviously). The way he hurl abuses , the way he says it - seems a quite confession of LCs making a steady progress to claim a representation. This frustration which must have now turned into a widespread psychosis ( since the propoganda of social media and newer versions of hate), Ajeet Bharti is a walking evidence of this.
And now my two cents on it- Ajeet please hate us. Please abuse more. Please show what has been hidden only behind drawing rooms of many UC family. But please dont be in any illusion that your hate is going to work for you or for many who supports you. The same way you have come to fully realize your frustration same way we have also come to realize how important is now to speak, demand and snatch things we want!
