Anuradha Tiwari also replied to her latest post, writing "As expected, a mere mention of the word 'Brahmin' triggered many inferior beings. Tells a lot about who real casteists are. UCs get nothing from the system - no Reservation, no freebies. We earn everything on our own and have every right to be proud of our lineage. So, deal with it.”
