Social media is a place where people sometimes open up their hearts so much that other people’s feelings get hurt. This is the reason why it is difficult to predict when a debate will start on what issue. A similar post is trending rapidly on the social media platform X. In this, users are sharing their opinions by writing #BrahminGene. This uproar started with a photo posted by X user Anuradha Tiwari.
Actually, Anuradha posted a picture on the social media platform X, in which she is showing her muscles while holding coconut water. But two words written with this picture created a controversy. She wrote in the caption with the picture – Brahmin genes. This very thing started a debate on casteism. People started criticizing Anuradha. However, some people also supported her. Some people said that why should a person not be proud of his caste in today’s era.
One user said- why debate so much, she did not say anything wrong about any other caste. Another person wrote- science does not differentiate between genes on the basis of caste and religion. One wrote- shame on you, you are promoting casteism. This social media post of Anuradha has been viewed more than 5 million times so far.
Who is Anuradha Tiwari?
Here we are telling you who is this Anuradha Tiwari whose small post has caused so much trouble? Anuradha Tiwari is the founder and CEO of content marketing company JustBurstOut. Let us tell you that even in the year 2022, Anuradha had raised questions on the caste reservation system in the country through a post.
Then in a post of August 2022, she wrote- ‘I am a general category student. My ancestors have not left any land for me. I live in a rented house. I did not get admission even after scoring 95% marks and my classmate got admission with 60% marks despite being from a good family. And you ask why I have a problem with reservation?’
Let us tell you that on August 23, a day after the debate on her post on social media, Anuradha Tiwari responded to it. In this she wrote- I expected that people’s feelings were hurt just by writing the word Brahmin. She further said- People belonging to the upper caste get nothing from the system. After this, Anuradha Tiwari made a series of posts on Instagram with the hashtag #BrahminGene. Where she was seen giving her opinion on other aspects of her post.
Chetan Bhagat also reacted
Author Chetan Bhagat also gave his opinion on Anuradha’s recent post on Brahmin genes. Also, in response to this, he started the hashtag of Indian genes. In an ex-post, he said that the more the caste issue is raised, the more the unity of Hindu votes will break. The opposition understands this. And yes, #BrahminGene is also going to divide Hindu votes. I don’t know if people realize this or not. He also posted his picture with the hashtag #Indiangenes.
Later, Anuradha replied to Chetan Bhagat and wrote whether hatred against Brahmins unites Hindus. Or will caste census bring unity among Hindus. At present, this debate is still not over. It is going on on social media platforms. People are giving their opinions on the pros and cons.
