3 min read

After Indian-origin Parag Agarwal was appointed because the CEO of Twitter following the exit of controversial founder-CEO Jack Dorsey, left-liberals in India had abused him over his caste. Left-liberals, Dalit activists and white supremacists had focused Agarwal wrongly assuming that he’s Brahmin. But now that they’ve learnt that he’s not Brahmin, they’re hailing him as somebody who smashed ‘Brahmin supremacy at Twitter’.  
In an article revealed on the Hindi version of The Print, professor Dilip Mandal hailed Parag Agarwal for getting the highest publish on the microblogging website, saying he isn’t alone to shake the dominance of Brahmins at IITs. Quoting a tweet by Malini Agarwal, the founding father of gossip web site missmalini, the place she had stated that that is an instance of Bania energy, Dilip Mandal claimed that Bania energy is a actuality after a Bania turned the Twitter CEO.
Mandal claimed this even after Malini Agarwal deleted her casteist tweet and apologised for a similar, after she was broadly slammed on the social media platform. He additional claimed that she was pressured to delete the tweet as a result of solely Brahmins or Thakoors in India take satisfaction of their castes, and when folks from different castes take satisfaction of their caste identification, it appears awkward.
Ugh. I apologise. I shall be extra conscious going ahead. Have discovered a invaluable lesson at this time. All I can say is that was completely not my intent. 🙏💙— Malini Agarwal (@maliniagarwal) November 30, 2021
Dilip Mandal says that the summit of Parag Agarwal will not be a coincidence, and Bania professionals have achieved good success in IT and IT-related fields lately. He claimed that this space was as soon as dominated by Brahmins which is about to break down. Mandal additional claimed that India’s IT revolution was primarily led by the educated higher castes of the second or third technology, and nearly all of them had been Brahmins.
In the Print article, Dilip Mandal goes on an extended rant to assert that every part and so on information, energy, engineering training had been dominated by Brahmins, and now the Bania neighborhood is difficult them in these fields.

This is notable that whereas Dilip Mandal is dancing with pleasure {that a} Baniya Agarwal turned the Twitter CEO, not a Brahmin, the very fact is that Agarwal doesn’t belong to a decrease caste that Mandal appears to be assuming. Agarwals are a enterprise neighborhood recognized for his or her experience in commerce and their wealth, and they don’t seem to be thought of as an ‘oppressed’ neighborhood. Agarwals from Rajasthan, the native state of Parag Agarwal, are higher caste they usually come below the final class, the identical class as Brahmins.
Therefore, it’s not clear why a Dalit activist is completely satisfied that one higher caste is changing one other higher caste in dominance in IITs and IT industries. He is perhaps confused by the wide selection of Baniya communities, as some Baniya communities, particularly in japanese India, fall below Scheduled Caste, and they’re traditionally not as rich because the Baniyas from western India.
It can be amusing that Dalit Mandal is completely satisfied that Parag Mandal changed Jack Dorsey. Because, whereas the views of Parag on Brahmins are usually not recognized but, Jack was a rabid Brahmin hater. During his India go to in 2018, he had posed for pictures with a placard that stated “Smash Brahminical Patriarchy.”
It is notable that earlier in 2019, Dilip Mandal had accused Twitter of being casteist as a result of he was not given the verified blue tick. He had referred to as then Twitter India head Manish Maheshwari a casteist bigot for allegedly being unfair to Dalits and never verifying his personal Twitter deal with. But after his account was verified by Twitter, he had demanded to take away it, saying that everybody ought to get an ‘equal status’ on Twitter.
