My first tweet--> let's make it meaningful! =) After our fight to rehabilitate 3,000 evicted Adivasis in Coorg last year, the government has agreed to build 528 homes-- which are under construction currently. Here are some pics from the visit last weekend. Joy of victory! =)

#Ambedkar & #Periyar were intersectional feminists Ambedkar saw how #Brahminism controlled women’s choices, upheld endogamy Periyar saw how denial of women’s rights was connected to politics of marriage/motherhood/family Gender equality must be our goal

Just returned from massive protest led by Karnataka’s unified Dalit-Bahujan forces titled ‘Vidhana Soudha-High Court Chalo’ Ocean of blue—shawls, flags & shirts—was exhilarating! This Ambedkarite-Periyarist strength can shake up J-C-B power structure & engender an equitable KA

A large section of today’s KA #Lingayats do not live egalitarian ethos of Basava, Sharanas; instead they further Brahminism Only those who commit to ideology of equality/justice/rationality can stake credible claim over 12th c Sharanas—not those born by chance into any community

Archeological sources show Ayodhya was Buddhist city Saket— to counter Buddha’s popularity, Brahminical forces concocted legend of Rama in Ayodhya In 7th c, Ayodhya had 100+ Buddhist monasteries & only 10 Brahminical buildings (DN Jha) Is Rama Mandir originally Buddhist vihara?

Religions are, simply put, ideologies—organised religions are ideologies w/ ‘armies’ Although many religions are/can be oppressive, nothing says religion must be so Ambedkar’s Navayana Buddhism is arguably most anti-oppression, liberative, egalitarian religion in modern history
