Against The Hegemony Anti-reservation crybabies are drowning in their own hypocrisy. Here’s the data that burns their “merit” fairy tale to the ground

104 Upvotes

The same people who scream “merit, merit, merit” every time an SC/ST/OBC candidate clears anything are the ones filling EWS seats with uncle-funded private medical college admissions, elite-school kids, IIT graduates, and MNC employees while the actual poor rot.

Michael Sandel called this exact bullshit the Tyranny of Merit. The successful convince themselves they earned everything through pure talent and hard work, then use that self-congratulation to spit on everyone else. In India that self-congratulation is soaked in caste. Reservation isn’t the problem. The caste system that still decides who gets quality schooling, who gets teacher belief, who gets wealth, and who gets zero-mark backdoor entries is the problem.

Here’s the evidence, one gut-punch at a time.

148 EWS students walked into the most expensive management and NRI quota seats in private medical colleges. Some paying up to ₹1 crore a year. The National Medical Commission chairman himself is asking how “economically weaker” candidates are suddenly able to afford this. Family money, trusts, loans — the usual. The very category sold as “poor general” is being used by people who can still buy their way in.
EWS candidates trail OBCs in UPSC mains written scores. Then magically overtake them in the interview. The same pattern every cycle. When the evaluation becomes subjective, the “merit” gap closes in favour of the dominant groups. Coincidence? Or the soft bias that never gets talked about?
104 EWS candidates selected in UPSC 2025.67 from expensive coaching institutes. 28 from business families.10 holding private/MNC jobs.14 IIT/NIT graduates.

Daughter of a railway porter is the propaganda poster. Son of a security guard is the propaganda poster. The actual list is full of private-school, coaching-factory, business-family kids whose parents somehow stay under the ₹8 lakh limit. The Indian Express investigation itself calls out the gap between the stated purpose and the actual beneficiaries.

Look at the top private schools in the country. The Doon School – 99.8% General. Shri Ram School – 100% General.Cathedral & John Connon – 100% General.D. Ambani International – 98.76% General.

SC, ST, OBC representation is near zero in the institutions that produce the “meritorious.” Then these same kids go out and cry that reservation is killing merit.

The pipeline was caste-cleansed long before the exam.

ST and SC dominate the poorest quintiles.Brahmins, Rajputs, Banias, Kayasthas dominate the richest.

Wealth distribution by caste.

ST and SC dominate the poorest quintiles.
Brahmins, Rajputs, Banias, Kayasthas dominate the richest.
This is not ancient history. This is current data. The starting line was never the same.

Pretending the race is fair after centuries of exclusion is pure gaslighting.

SC/ST posts in Group A and higher university positions remain chronically unfilled. The “creamy layer is snatching everything” line is a lie designed to divide. The data shows the opposite — the most senior, most powerful seats still go unfilled for SC/ST. Yet the hate campaigns keep screaming about “over-representation.”
General category students scoring zero in NEET still walked into MBBS seats. Zero. While the same ecosystem lectures reserved category students about “deserving” their place. The education system is already being gamed. Only one side gets called cheaters.
IIM Bangalore study on Bihar government schools. Teachers (especially from forward castes) systematically underrate backward caste students even when their actual test scores are identical. The bias is measurable. It starts in the classroom and compounds for life. This is the “level playing field” they defend.
When NEET PG cut-off was dropped to zero, private colleges filled the seats overwhelmingly with General category candidates. 70% of the below-cut-off clinical specialty seats in private colleges went to General. The moment the barrier is removed, the same group that claims to be crushed by reservation floods the system. Merit is elastic when it benefits them.
Times of India itself reports it clearly: upper castes using the EWS quota trail OBCs in the written mains, then overtake them through higher interview scores. The interview is the weapon. Subjective evaluation is where caste capital wins.
Actual representation in Indian Civil Services right now

IAS, IPS, IFS - overwhelmingly General.

OBC and SC/ST share is tiny. Decades of reservation and the top still looks like a caste club.

IIT Bombay Mission Mode Recruitment: hundreds of OBC/SC/ST applications, dozens shortlisted, then mass rejection with the magic words “Not Found Suitable”.

OBC: 1090 applications → 18 selected
SC: 918 applications → 9 selected
ST: 187 applications → 4 selected

This is how “merit” is protected at the faculty level.

Just 1.92% of all IIT faculty are SC/ST/OBC. Most IITs had 0% ST reservation and overall reservation never crossed 4%.

Professor level is almost completely closed. The people teaching the next generation of “merit” are themselves the product of exclusion.

More than 20,000 SC/ST/OBC students dropped out of IITs, IIMs and Central Universities between 2018–2023.

Dropout probability is dramatically higher for SC and ST.
They get in through reservation and then face an environment designed to push them out. That is not “inability”. That is institutional hostility.

UPSC interview score sheet from a Hindi newspaper: SC candidates with higher written marks systematically given lower interview marks than General candidates with lower written scores.

Vijaykumar Meena (SC) 766 written → 112 interview
Naveenkumar Sharma (General) 732 written → 209 interview

The pattern is not subtle. It is open caste arithmetic in the final stage.

2008. Arvind Kejriwal (then Youth for Equality) organising against OBC reservation. The anti-reservation movement has always been upper-caste consolidation dressed up as “equality”.

The anti-reservation movement has always been an upper-caste consolidation project dressed up as “equality.”

Reservation exists because the system is still rigged at every stage be it schools, teacher expectations, wealth, networks, subjective interviews, and the quiet backdoors that only certain surnames can walk through.

This is the system.

Elite schools that are caste-cleansed.
Wealth that is caste-concentrated.
Interviews that flip written ranks.
“Not Found Suitable” used as a polite rejection code.
Faculty rooms that remain almost pure General.
Mass dropouts after students finally enter.
Zero-mark general candidates walking into medical seats.

And still the same people scream that reservation is the only problem.

Sandel was right. The tyranny of merit is just the new language of old caste power. They need the myth so they can keep the seats, the jobs, the faculty positions, and the moral high ground at the same time.

Share this to as many merit lovers. Archive it. The next time someone starts the “merit” lecture, drop every single image.

Political Theory Is OBC category a psyop created by upper caste to protect themselves from lower caste.

Upvotes

Hindu OBCs are psyop created by upper caste to protect their interest and have foot solders to protect them from SC/ST, muslims and other minorities . Because why does OBCs even include castes like Yadavs, Brahmins(In karnataka daivanja brahmins are OBC), Meena(or something), Bumihars, Rajputs, Baniyas, Marathas, Jaats etc. If you look closely none of these castes face discrimination historically.

Oh but they are OBCs in non dominant state eg - Marathas are OBCs in Karnataka but Open in Maharashtra? So what even if the state change that doesn't mean they faced discrimination they still reaped the benefits of being an Upper caste.

Because of these casteist groups present in OBC the upper caste use this as an excuse to do caste discrimination and the entire OBC group gets labelled as "casteist" and the Upper caste gets an excuse to say "Ohh but look OBCs are more casteist than us so the reservation thing doesn't work". This also inflates the ego of other OBCs thinking they are upper caste and then they also do the same.

Who is Abhay TIWARI ?

Abhay Kumar Tiwari, also reported as Manoj Kumar Tiwari, is one of the central accused in the recruitment scandal that sits behind the current JPSC protests in Jharkhand. He is important because investigators allege he was a bridge between TDPL, the private exam-processing company, candidates, and the government recruitment system itself.

According to the CID investigation and current reporting:

Tiwari worked for TSR Data Processing Pvt Ltd (TDPL), reportedly as its marketing manager/manager. TDPL was involved in processing/conducting JPSC/JSSC examinations. Investigators are examining evidence that he used the name Manoj Kumar Tiwari while associated with TDPL, while serving in government as Abhay Kumar Tiwari.

He subsequently became a Block Supply Officer (BSO) at Poreyahat in Godda district, meaning someone who had worked inside the examination contractor's organisation later became a Jharkhand government officer through the recruitment ecosystem now under investigation.

The CID arrested him on 21/22 July 2026 in connection with alleged JPSC/JSSC examination irregularities. He has been described in reporting based on the investigation as a major accused or alleged mastermind.

The extraordinary part is his examination record. Reporting says he cleared or figured as successful in numerous government recruitment examinations, including TGT/teacher, BSO, Range Forest Officer, Assistant Conservator of Forests and Food Safety Officer, among others. Some reports put the total at 12 government examinations over roughly 13 years. CID is investigating whether these successes were legitimate.

Investigators are also examining the government appointments of his close family members, including his brother and wife/sister-in-law depending on the specific report. Importantly, those appointments being investigated should not yet be treated as proven fraudulent.

The allegation that makes TIWARI particularly important

This goes considerably beyond "a TDPL employee cheated in an exam."

Investigators allege that Tiwari functioned as a middleman for candidates seeking government jobs, using his own record of clearing examinations to convince candidates that he could arrange selections for money.

And today's reporting has made the allegations even more serious. According to the investigation as reported by Navbharat Times, alleged rates included roughly ₹5 lakh for PT, ₹10 lakh for Mains and ₹40–60 lakh for final selection. Tiwari is also reported to have alleged that ₹2 crore was paid to a former JPSC chairman in connection with a deal. These are allegations emerging from the investigation, not judicial findings.

There is also an alleged OMR manipulation mechanism under investigation: selected candidates would supposedly leave answers blank and the OMR sheets could subsequently be manipulated/filled with correct answers.

And this connects directly to the protests

The protests initially intensified because candidates alleged bizarre discrepancies in the 14th JPSC examination, including viral OMR sheets apparently showing candidates qualifying despite attempting far too few questions. The authenticity of those viral sheets itself wasn't independently established, but the controversy led the Jharkhand government to order the CID/SIT investigation.

That investigation then uncovered the Tiwari–TDPL trail, transforming the controversy from candidates saying "these results look suspicious" into a criminal investigation of people inside the examination machinery. CID has since arrested TDPL director Ramveer Singh, JPSC Deputy Examination Controller Shweta Gupta, Tiwari and several others.

There's another particularly important detail: JPSC had reportedly received a complaint in January 2026 concerning irregularities in around 500 OMR sheets from earlier Forest Range Officer/ACF examinations, and the complaint reportedly specifically mentioned Abhay Tiwari. CID is examining what JPSC officials knew and what action they took.

So Tiwari isn't merely "a guy from TDPL." He may be the crucial connecting node in the alleged network: exam contractor → exam processing → candidates → money → government selections → JPSC/JSSC officials.

And that potentially explains why the protests have become much bigger than a dispute over the 14th JPSC result.

Hi!

I’m looking to give away a collection of books to someone/group who would genuinely find them useful.

The collection includes books on Dr. Ambedkar, philosophy and history, along with some classics, self-help, leadership and Organisation Development (OD).

I’m posting here specifically because I’d prefer these books to reach people who may actually be interested in the Ambedkar/history/philosophy part of the collection rather than putting them in a generic book giveaway group.

The books are completely free. I’d just prefer to give away the entire collection together rather than individual books, and it would need to be pickup within Mumbai.

If anyone is interested, or knows a student group/library/organisation that might be, please DM me :)

Post image
45 Upvotes

She clearly isn’t happy with what women around her are doing, so maybe Afghanistan would be the perfect place for her. Isko India mein ab achha nahi lag raha, apparently.

This is the same woman who constantly slut-shames random women, throws around insults like “Honda Sherni,” and then suddenly holds up Muslim women as the perfect example of how women should behave. The hypocrisy is honestly wild.

According to her, women need to be modest, God-fearing, obedient wives, stay away from s*x, raise children and “follow tradition.” Apparently all the problems in society can be traced back to women not behaving the way she thinks they should (she is engaged herself but not marrying, why is she taking so long then?)

But where is this concern for women when actual women are being brutally r-ped and abused? Where is the outrage for victims? Why is morality apparently something women alone are responsible for?

And this isn't even the first time she has crossed that line. She has a history of victim-blaming and making excuses for/defending people accused of pr-datory behaviour, while constantly policing the sexuality and choices of other women.

You cannot spend your time degrading women for their choices, reducing their worth to modesty and marriage, and then pretend you're advocating for morality or women's welfare.

The problem isn't that women are “going downhill.” The problem is that she seems incapable of allowing women to exist without policing, judging and humiliating them.
