There is a heated debate on social media over the ‘Brahmin gene’ comment by Anuradha Tiwari, CEO of a Bengaluru-based content marketing company.
Meanwhile, author Chetan Bhagat has also clarified his opinion. He has written on Twitter that this will break the unity of Hindu votes.
Giving a political twist to Anuradha Tiwari’s tweet, Chetan Bhagat wrote, ‘The more the caste issue is raised, the more the unification of Hindu votes will break. The opposition has understood this and is playing the same game. And yes, the #BrahminGenes trend is also going to divide Hindu votes. I don’t know if people realize this or not.’
On the other hand, Anuradha Tiwari is not ready to back down in this matter. First she tweeted with #BrahminGenes and now she has also posted a follow up post.
In this, she has taken her point further. Anuradha Tiwari wrote, ‘Today, Brahmins are afraid to even tell their full name.
A lot of hatred has been spread against them. We have been made villains by social justice activists and leaders. We have not harmed anyone. We do not get any help from the government. We work hard. Then why should we be ashamed of our caste?
Anuradha Tiwari’s post actually divided the debate on social media into two camps. Some people called Anuradha’s post insensitive while many people started the debate on reservation using it as an excuse.
Now Anuradha Tiwari has also responded to Chetan Bhagat’s tweet in which he talked about division of Hindu votes. Anuradha wrote, ‘Does hatred against Brahmins unite Hindus? Does reservation increase unity among Hindus? Or will caste census bring unity among Hindus?’
If everyone can feel proud then why can’t a Brahmin do so?
Apart from this, in another post, Anuradha Tiwari wrote that in the last 24 hours, thousands of people have proudly declared their Brahmin identity.
But how many leaders have done this. This is the time when they should stand with Brahmins but they are backing off. Is hatred against Brahmins being spread deliberately? Are Brahmins being made scapegoats for petty politics.
In another post, Anuradha wrote, ‘Proud Dalit, Muslim, Adivasi will do. But there is a problem with proud Brahmin. The entire system is being made in such a way that Brahmins feel ashamed of their existence. This is the time when the narrative has to be changed.’
