| 1626196268237328384 | A rebuttal to @tmkrishna 's opinion piece in @DeccanHerald a couple of days ago. By @SandhyaSridhar & me. https://t.co/5zLk1ZQtVi | 252 |
| 1626953079584337920 | Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical framework is crucial for comprehending the Hindu caste system in contemporary times, as cultural capital and social capital play a significant role in everyday life. Appreciate my friend @tmkrishna for bringing attention to this important aspect https://t.co/aLC4XZ19xi | 87 |
| 1626575859128860672 | "The “Brahminical” horse is long dead. To flog it again and again, speaks of a perverse need to self-position." @sandhyaravishan rebuts @tmkrishna #TamilNadu #Brahmins #TamilBrahmins https://t.co/xAPeSDrOLA | 46 |
| 1626975706982014977 | @tmkrishna While Brahmins as a group hold a privileged position in the caste system as you claim. Individuals Bhramins from lower socio-economic backgrounds face discrimination & prejudice from this society. Stop making life harder for Bhramins for your self pride. Jathi veriyan neenga tha | 18 |
| 1627137979994214400 | @tmkrishna Where is the evidence for this? How is a poor temple priest Braahman in today's Bhaarat better off than a poor Dalit who has access to every govt / reservation benefit? Typical Nazi like brainwashing against Braahmans that you can't get out of. | 17 |
| 1624647669485539331 | A reflective and powerful piece from @tmkrishna. 'I’m privileged, therefore I am' https://t.co/dZfcOddZX8 @deccanherald | 15 |
| 1626812575425110017 | @tmkrishna Btw comparison should be between poor brahmin and rich well-to-do 2nd / 3rd generation reservation benefitted Dalit with good position, power, money. How are they having same opportunities when caste based reservation gives extra advantages in money as well as in opportunities ? | 14 |
| 1627037402916167680 | @tmkrishna Super privileged Brahmana kept his cowardly mouth quiet on this👇👇👇. Maha kalank on humanity. https://t.co/KqRVycf8GR | 12 |
| 1626811785469906944 | @tmkrishna Yes. Brahmins get admission in premeir institutes based on their caste. Oh wait... | 11 |
| 1624655057521377281 | Read: “Caste-privileged collectivity provides us with a wide and unsaid network that is always available. It is perpetually…” A sensitive piece on #privilege by the inimitable @tmkrishna https://t.co/HFvwrkiYOi | 9 |

| 1626842224204959744 | @tmkrishna Poor Dalit can actually get elevated only if 50% of SC /ST reservation is allotted to poor among dalits. Voice for it.If not majority poor dalits will remain poor for generations to come. | 82 |
| 1626896542308376576 | @tmkrishna By your theory,,,,muslims are ruled us approx 800 years,,they must have increased their imagination,,,but why they r still benefitted by gov,,,why muslims r yet treated as first class citizen even after 20% population....have any answer??? | 74 |
| 1626833060963700736 | @tmkrishna Do u even make sense? 😐 | 67 |
| 1626824092849696768 | @tmkrishna How do we know for sure that caste provides psychological cultural benefits for everyone? A Brahmin should be treated equally as a Dalit and it should start from you and me. | 62 |
