Dr Ambedkar in 1900- "in the school, I could not touch the tap; and unless it was opened for it by a touchable person, it was not possible for me to quench my thirst." In 2022, a Dalit boy is murdered in Rajasthan by an oppressor caste teacher for drinking water from his pot.

I am teaching a course on Professional Ethics in Legal Profession, and every week I end up updating the syllabus for my course. It is not ethical for a sitting Supreme Court judge to publicly praise the Prime Minister, no matter what the occasion is.

PM Modi is a Versatile Genius Who Thinks Globally and Acts Locally, Says Justice Mishra - News18

Praising PM Modi for his efforts, the Supreme Court judge said India is the biggest democracy in the world and "people wonder how this democracy is functioning so successfully".

We often listen about 'trial by media'. But we must also talk about 'acquittal by media'- a tendency where elite media houses run by oppressor castes character assassinate Dalit/Adivasi victims & their families, and do selective bias reporting to prove the oppressors as innocent.

While speaking at 31st Convocation of NLSIU, Chief Justice of India Dr DY #Chandrachud mentioned about a twitter post, where a #Dalit law student had shared about incident of #caste discrimination during his internship with a lawyer. "Some lawyers are violating the law", he said.

"This is not the first anti-reservation quote attributed to Dr Ambedkar... In June 2022, Anurag Bhaskar, Asst professor at Jindal Global Law School, published a paper titled, “The Myth of the Ten-Year Limit on Reservations and Dr Ambedkar’s Stance”."

A false quote ascribed to Dr BR Ambedkar claims he said reservation should be abolished after a Tribal woman becomes President. This false quote is similar to the misinfo that he only wanted reservation for 10 years. #AltNewsFactCheck | @ArchitMeta @akhmxt

VP Singh once remarked: “Through Mandal, I knew we were going to bring in changes in the basic nature of power… I knew I was not giving jobs, Mandal is not an employment scheme, but I was seeking to place people in the instrument of power through the use of government power.”

#VPSingh was asked to respond to protest by youth against Mandal. He said “Amid protests, OBC youth came to me and said..Are we not human? Are we not youth? We are majority so how can media say all youth against Mandal? These upper caste hate constitutional policies so much”

It’s a common perception that Dr #Ambedkar wanted to burn the Constitution. In my book “The Foresighted Ambedkar”, I narrate how he is often misquoted. @scobserver has run an excerpt from my book. Available on Amazon, get your copy.

Did Dr Ambedkar Want to Burn the Constitution? - Supreme Court Observer

A chapter in a recent book on Dr. B.R. Ambedkar looks at a statement often quoted by proponents of a new Constitution. Here’s a brief excerpt.

The movie #JaiBhim depicts the situation of denotified tribes, who were criminalized by the colonial regime under 'Criminal Tribes Act 1871' (2021 is the 150th year). While the Act was repealed after independence, the stigma and oppression still continues. Good work @Suriya_offl

The movie Jai Bhim is about denotified communities. It is not just a "tribal" issue. Even as we observe the 150th year of the Criminal Tribes Act, what is truly disappointing is that the discussion continues to focus on everything but the plight of DNTs. ~1

@jaffrelotc Prof. @jaffrelotc - I have often followed your work, but I would express disagreement here on point of methodology. Dominant castes cannot be compared with Dalits on basis on income. As you also once noted: income does not remove stigma associated with untouchability.

A must read thread. The communities (such as Chamar), which could not have been notified as 'criminal tribes', were characterized by the colonial regime as "castes with criminal tendencies" (Ramnarayan Rawat, 2012).

The irresponsible usage of the term 'criminal tribes' deserves some myth-busting. A. 'criminal tribes' are not criminal! They were criminalised by the 1871 Act. B.They are not all tribes! Many Dalit, Adivasi, nomadic communities were notified as 'criminal tribes' by the British

"The marginalised communities had to struggle every inch to claim equal rights. Therefore, the idea of universal adult franchise is not just a political idea... (it) is social at its core", said CJI Chandrachud at an event.

We must reject notion that only the educated are better decision-makers, says CJI Chandrachud

The elite perceptions that only few individuals should have the right to vote shows contempt and distrust towards democracy, he added.
