Entrepreneur flexes ‘Brahmin genes’ in controversial post, slammed as casteist – N.F Times


 

Bengaluru: A Bengaluru-based entrepreneur and CEO has sparked a controversy with her picture captioned “Brahmin genes.” Anuradha Tiwari, CEO of content writing company JustBurstOut, took to the social media platform X yesterday to share a photograph that shows her flexing her muscles.

Anuradha Tiwari is an outspoken advocate for doing away with caste-based reservations. Her X bio states that she believes in the motto of “One Family, One Reservation.”

In her earlier posts, the Bengaluru-based entrepreneur and TEDx speaker has repeatedly expressed her issues with caste-based reservation.

“I am a general category student. My ancestors have passed me down 0.00 acres of land. I live in a rented house. I couldn’t get admission despite scoring 95% but my classmate who scored 60% & comes from a well off family gets admission. And you ask me why I have a problem with reservation?” Tiwari wrote in a post dated August 2022.

More recently, she has called on the general category to unite in five years, warning that failure to do so would lead to reservation in the private sector too.
