    For women and other marginalized groups to seek safety on Twitter and in real life, we have to call out oppression. If that's not reflective of your views, @Indiatwitter, that's a problem.

    My possibly-lukewarm take on the whole debacle? It’s not that the Twitterfolk did NOT want to smash Brahminical patriarchy at the moment of taking that photo, it’s just that they’re backtracking now that they found out how deep that chasm goes. 1/

    My Twitter feed is STILL full of elite men hyperventilating about Twitter CEO holding a sign that calls out sex-based & caste-based discrimination in India. Caste and sexism are real and virulent in modern India. If you want to be angry, be angry about that reality.

    The debate has been fruitful because it’s happening with white people + Brahmin-savarnas on my committee, but also because it’s fruitful to reiterate exactly why Brahmin thought & lived experience are key to understanding Brahminism/caste.

    Follow to understand the storm caused when Desi history and Twitter futures collided:

    Only Jack Dorsey could go to India, get woke about Brahminism, and end up apologizing his way into an endorsement of the caste system and the patriarchy.

    For many who research and write about South Asia, this is a daily challenge: matters of life, death, and social justice are literally too abstruse for most people to hear. We've all experienced that eyes-glazing-over look if we stray far from the hippie clichés of yoga a d henna.

    At a Google News conference I heard a moving presentation by a Dalit man who pointed out that almost all US tech company hires of Indians were hires of Brahmin, in essence gaining diversity points in our country while perpetuating a caste system in theirs👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

    Jack Dorsey went to India to promote Twitter. He started a huge fight instead.
