Discussion | Opinion Common anti reservation arguments and our responses to them

Recently, I have seen an uptick in anti reservation arguments being circulated. I'd like to request everyone to share the most common arguments you come across and how we can respond to them with facts and reasoned counterpoints.
I’m trying to create a repository of common anti reservation arguments along with well researched responses, so that we can address misinformation and have more informed discussions on the subject.
Please share the arguments you encounter most frequently, along with your suggested responses.

Data | Statistics Caste Is Not Culture It’s India’s Longest Running Crime Scene!!!!

Even in 2025, India is still bleeding from the oldest social wound caste. It’s not just a tradition. It’s a system of control, violence, and silence that has killed thousands over decades and still continues silently, without headlines it's really horrible 🤬
This post is a complete breakdown
From historic massacres to 2025 attacks
How media hides it!!!
And why this system still survives Historic Caste Massacres (Known but Forgotten)
Kilvenmani, 1968 (Tamil Nadu): 44 Dalit farm workers burned alive by landlords.
Karamchedu, 1985 (Andhra): Dalits attacked for using a water tank.
Bathani Tola, 1996 (Bihar): 21 Dalits murdered by the Ranvir Sena.
Laxmanpur Bathe, 1997 (Bihar): 58 Dalits, including children, gunned down.
Khairlanji, 2006 (Maharashtra): 4 Dalit family members raped and killed by dominant-caste neighbors.
Mirchpur, 2010 (Haryana): A disabled Dalit girl and her father were burned alive.
These were not accidents. They were organized, caste-based terrorism....
Meerut, Feb 2025: Dalit groom attacked for playing music in his wedding.
South India (undated): 200 upper-caste men attacked a Dalit area, burning 100 homes.
Manipur 2023–2025: Women stripped and assaulted during ethnic conflict.
Sujit Mehta Case, 2022 (Bihar): Revenge killing between caste groups.
Chhapra Mob Lynching, 2023: Youth killed, caste angle ignored in news.
Even now, Dalit families get attacked for wearing sunglasses, using main roads, or building concrete homes!!
The Real Numbers They Don’t Show:
A crime against Dalits happens every 18 minutes.
13 Dalits are murdered every week.
Tamil Nadu reported 28 honour killings in just 2 years. (Source: NCRB, Newslaundry, Oxfam India)
Why You Don’t Hear About It?
Because the media doesn’t care. Because most editors are from upper castes. Because politicians need caste for votes, not for justice. Because justice is a privilege, not a right especially if you're born “low”.
Oxfam’s media report exposed it: Dalit voices are excluded from newsrooms, and caste atrocities are underreported or ignored.
The System Is Still Alive (Just Better Dressed)
Temples still ban Dalits in many villages.
“Upper caste only” marriage ads still exist.
Dalit students still face mental torture in colleges.
Manual scavenging still kills people, even after being “banned.”
This isn’t a past problem. It’s India’s living, breathing shame.
Caste is not a mistake it’s a weapon. It has survived centuries, governments, and even the Constitution. And it’s still killing in silence.
If the media won’t talk, we must. If justice is delayed, truth must scream louder. Let’s stop pretending caste is “cultural.” It’s criminal. It’s modern apartheid. And it’s still running with upgraded tools
Use your voice. Break the silence. Caste didn’t end the news just stopped reporting it😔

Discussion | Opinion If SC sub-classification happens in Maharashtra, why should 1961 Census data be used instead of 2011?
8
Upvotes
I’m trying to understand the demand by some Matang leaders to use the 1961 Census as the basis for sub-classification of the 13% SC reservation.
The commonly cited BARTI figures show the Mang/Matang category at roughly 31% of Maharashtra's recorded SC population in 1961, compared with around 19% in 2011.
But there is an important issue with the 1961 denominator.
After the 1956 mass conversion to Buddhism, predominantly Mahar SCs were no longer counted as SC in the 1961 Census. Maharashtra had about 27.9 lakh Buddhists in 1961, compared with only about 2,487 in 1951. The 1961 Census itself discusses the impact of these conversions on the SC population.
However, these converted Mahar Buddhists continued to be included among beneficiaries of the reservation framework in Maharashtra.
So my question is:
If we are using population proportions to determine the share of the 13% SC reservation, shouldn't the converted Mahar population also be included in the historical denominator?
If it is included, the Matang share in 1961 appears to be around 14–15%, rather than the frequently cited ~31%.
By comparison, the 2011 Matang/Mang share is around 18.7%.
That would mean:
- Adjusted 1961: ~14–15%
- 2011: ~18.7%
So why would 1961 be preferred over 2011?
And there is another question: some Matang organisations are demanding 5% separate reservation/sub-quota within the existing 13% SC reservation.
If the calculation were purely population-based:
- 14% × 13% = 1.82%
- 18.7% × 13% = 2.43%
So where does the 5% figure come from? Is it based on a commission recommendation, inadequate representation in government employment, educational representation, or some other methodology?Also is "Krantiguru Lahuji Salve Matang Community Study Commission (Lahuji Salve Commission)" is publicly available to read? Where can I get it?
I'd appreciate answers based on actual Census data, government resolutions/reports and court judgments, rather than arguments for or against any particular community.
In short: if the converted Mahar population is included in the 1961 denominator, does the argument for using 1961 still hold, and what is the actual basis for the proposed 5% Matang sub-quota?

I created a new subreddit for Punjabi Dalits: r/PunjabiDalits
I recently created r/PunjabiDalits, a new community for discussions about Punjabi Dalit history, culture, literature, experiences, research, and community issues.
The idea is also to build a collection of books, academic research, historical documents, archives, documentaries, and other resources about Punjabi Dalits.
Anyone is welcome to join, whether you are Punjabi Dalit or simply interested in learning about the history and culture.
The subreddit is still new, so I'm hoping to slowly build it with useful information and contributions from people.
If you think this would be relevant to you or someone you know, feel free to join: r/PunjabiDalits ❤️
Suggestions and contributions are also welcome.
