Rejection (24th June 2020)

You are never #rejected in an #interview by a company, you are rejected by the individuals.

And sadly, Individuals are #flawed.

I remember going for an interview for a company called Pilot Industries Ltd. The HR Head grilled me for 2 hours, spoke of everything in the world, we discussed Salary, joining, and all the other formalities.

Later he made me meet one of the promoters from the family, this guy asked me a simple but #meaningful question "What is your name"?

He did not ask me another question, thanked me for coming and that's it, I was rejected.

Perhaps he did not like my Shirt color/pattern, CV font, or perhaps my #Brahmin Surname. In these cases, views of the HR Head did not matter.

Some Interviewers are #racist, some are #sadists, some hate one #gender and some are idiots. And yeah some of them are simply flag bearer of #Nepotism.

Never get hurt for any rejection because people who are rejecting you are not capable to judge you, at times they interview you for some absolutely irrelevant role.

Nevertheless, It is the Interviewers' responsibility to create an environment of ease while interviewing. If you feel tortured and tensed after an Interview, guys, these guys don't deserve you. Come back later, when these idiots are dead.

Caste Reservation (6th June 2020)

To be eligible for Reservations I have to claim that I am from "Neech Jaat", I know people having paid lakh of rupees to get a neech jaat #certificate.

How flaunting lower cast will remove #Casteism from this country? This stamp "Aarakshan se aaya hai" undermines the achievement of the Lower cast.

In the name of 'Positive #discrimination', the #constitution has allowed policymakers to be legal #racists. Imagine, a person from the General category has to explain to his children that he is suffering because of his Oonchi jaat & someone from neechi jaat took what he deserved. Why won't this kid consider Oonchi jaat his #identity and hate lower caste?

Reservation essentially means creating an #unequal society.

When a woman asks an old man to get up from a reserved Mahila seat, she is accepting that she is weak.

Availing #benefits of reservation means accepting that your caste is lower than others, so how do you expect an #equal society when people accept that they are weak & not equal to others. Why snatching the #opportunities from someone & giving to someone else is considered #Equality?

Are #Dalits not Billionaire, Poor Brahmins not committing suicide? Why can't we remove all classes/Castes and identify with only two, RICH & POOR?

This is one of the response I got

I think our society has not come over from the hangover of superiority complex spcly if you belong to the category of a higher caste, and no laws or govt can change ever the mentality of higher caste category ppl for being so called superior, and the reservation is a by product for being harassed by other higher caste ppl, for an example if we say reservation system should be abolished .and lets keep everyone equal. so here Equal means A is equal to A, socially , mentally, economically in all aspects, So how many Kshtriya , Brahmin, Vaishya wants that shudra community should perform their Yagyopavit (janeu sanskar), or marriage, rituals , and death rituals, how many will accept it, may be 99% will not accept it, specially in death rituals how many will agree that their deceased one will get moksh if rituals are performed by one of the so called lowest caste, None.. so if a women demands her seat in bus , its not because she is weak but coz its her right to do so, its weird thinking that socially, mentally we want to be on higher side, but raise the question if some one got benefited economically. So i think reservation system must be abolished along with caste system, only one surname Hindu, but how many of the upper caste are ready?

And this is How I responded.

I don't agree with most of the points made, because in my experience, meeting people for the last 30+ years, having traveled to 28 states & UTs in India did not find a single person discriminating against anyone because of Caste. No one ever asked my caste b4 allowing me to enter the temple, No one ever asked a Pandits name before any Pooja/ Yoagyopavit/Death rituals. So what you are saying is your personal experience or you have become a victim of Propoganda, I am not sure. Still, if you remain on what you have said, let me tell u that Most of India are not bothered about your caste. Actually, they can't even tell who belongs to which caste. The only time we mention our castes for some significant purposes is in Government forms, where we do it so we can be discriminated against & can be avoided for giving benefits. So, In short, what you are saying is not correct and does not portray the majority of this country correctly. Bus Seat is Women's right-Yeah Right, because of Racist Laws. In Nazi Germany, Hitler made killing Jews in concentration camps his Right. The racist constitution can't replace common sense. However, I completely agree with the "Reservation system must be abolished along with the caste system".The caste system was racist so is Reservation.
