Hi casteism:

It is noteworthy that no one has remained untouched by the atmosphere prevailing across the country. Where the slogans of Jai Shri Ram have stuck to people’s tongues like honey to Jalebi. At the same time, every effort is being made to humiliate other communities. In which Dalit community is at the top. It can be understood exactly like this that if the Dalit society chants slogans of Jai Shri Ram then it will definitely become Sanatani. But if he says Jai Bhim, he will be beaten. There will be death threats. The only question is why there is so much trouble with the slogan of Jai Bhim. Why do casteists get chills on hearing these words??
