With Chief Justice of India (CJI) Dipak Misra, the nephew of former CJI Ranganath Misra, the Loya case having initially been transferred to Justice Arun Mishra, as well as Bar Council of India (BCI) chairman being Manan Kumar Mishra (and that Narendra Modi’s principal secretary Nripendra Misra had tried to meet the CJI after the rebellion), Ravikiran Shinde argues that the flood of Mishras in the news is a symptom of far too many Brahmins in the legal system and judiciary…
BuzzFeed reported:
One Too Many Mishras: India’s Supreme Court Is A Brahmin Bastion
The answer is an unequivocal yes according to the President of India, Ram Nath Kovind, who spoke just a few months ago about the “unacceptably low representation of traditionally weaker sections such as Other Backward Classes (OBC), Scheduled Castes (SC), and Scheduled Tribes (ST) in the higher judiciary”.
Data maintained by the Union Ministry of Law and Justice shows that the Collegium, which is responsible for elevating judges to the Supreme Court, has not followed any clear pattern in making its decisions. Either by commission or omission, no SC/ST judge has been elevated to the Supreme Court in the last 7 years.

How much ever intelligent, educated, hard working or smart an SC ST person may be, their talent is not recognized. They dont get promotions. They dont make it to the top. Social profiling is a big thing in a hush hush manner in neighbourhoods and offices and SC ST are ridiculed and humiliated.
Babasaheb Ambedkar, an SC, the father of Indian Constitution had 21PHDs and yet His achievements were not as celebrated as Shankaracharyas.
A Brahmin is instantly admired just by virtue of birth and an SC ST is immediately ridiculed just by the fact of their birth. Indians have a dirty habit of asking surname. Surname decides whether you are my friend or enemy, whether I will help you or not, whether you are intelligent or not. An SC ST becomes non intelligent just by surname.
SC ST come up through a very hard social life. They face challenges even to exist. Women in villages are raped just because they are SC. Men are murdered for being SC. Nobody wants to marry an SC ST. The matrimonial columns of newspapers and magazines say, " SC/ST please excuse". In childhood, the parents of Brahmins tell their kids not to play with SC ST kids.
The Brahmin lobby is a very dangerous thing. Dont know why Indians blame Mughals for invasion and destroying India when it was Brahmins who created the divison in society. Had Indians been united nobody cud have touched India. It wud still be called Sone Ki Chidiya.
The physical and mental abuse and the subtle isolation of SC ST leaves deep scars. Why do people protest against SC ST reservations? Are there not paid seats in medical colleges? Is there not management quota and in various colleges across India? Are not various communities taking up quota in some states for various reasons? Is not the economy of the country in the hands of a few who are buying everything?
When an SC ST tells you they have been hurt and not received their due credit, believe them. Because this is India and caste systems exists.
And no I wont be surprised if this post gets lots of dislikes. Truth is bitter. Facts are as solid as rocks to be digested.
When there is no equality how can there be justice? This shud have been at top. Thanks.
