You'd think Hindu supremacists would be a fan of Malala Yousafzi, since she's a survivor of Islamic fundamentalism (though the Taliban are now allies of the BJP/Modi regime, of course), but nah, the mere mention of 'books' or 'education' apparently sends them into a violent rage.

Upper caste people always harangue about implementing a creamy layer in the reservation quota. But the moment you ask them to remove NFS (Not Found Suitable) and then implement a creamy layer, they'll start protesting about it. It's here that their dishonesty becomes apparent.
Recently, upper caste and pro-govt people held a Reservation Hatao Aandolan at Jantar Mantar. And it goes without saying, the protest failed. But the amount of casteist abuses that came out of the place shows a pure evil mentality. People were hurling casteist abuses just for fun.
When Sagar’s Ramayan started playing on Doordarshan, my great grandmother would do full ablutions before sitting down to watch. My father, good Nehruvian socialist committed to secular democracy, would fly into a fit and rant about how allowing this on state television would ruin India. He was right

It was a well-calibrated statement by the RSS in the view of the Gen Z protest. The fascist paramilitary organisation effectively controls the whole education system of India, appointment of vice-chancellors and formation of policies. RSS's statement was to insulate themselves from public ire.

Location: Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh Date: July 23 Hindu Raksha Dal members issued violent threats against protesters at Jantar Mantar, stating that they would attack them at the protest site on July 26 (Sunday).
Sanghis have now resorted to something called "ideological purity policing" to discredit the CJP protest. Remember, these are the same people who vote repeatedly for communal, corrupt, and casteist politicians, but when it comes to protest, they need it sanitized and apolitical.

![Digital communications strategist Abhijeet Dipke decided to turn the "insult" around and use it as a tool for protest. He launched the "Cockroach Janta Party" (CJP) online on 16 May 2026 as a satirical parody of the ruling political establishment. The CJP created a mock political platform that rapidly gained traction across social media.[16] Dipke stated in an interview with India Today that the Chief Justice's comments were particularly hurtful because they came from the custodian of the Constitution, who is tasked with protecting freedom of expression.[17]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:kl5ad3jwtxvbqyoha3lvq32c/bafkreigbox35d3xz2doz6grjv2d5eectufokli32gnlfpaefcidm2spfhq)
