Jack, don't put people in a box

An apology was required, going by Twitter's standards, seeing as it says that it is a platform open to all voices and is against hate speech, especially that which is targeted against specific sections and mirities. Brahmins make up 5% of population and are a mirity. This kind of constant demonising of a community, very often with violent pictorial descriptions of what should be done with Brahmins, frequently floats around on Twitter.

It is deeply worrying to see CEO of a platform that ostensibly stands against hate speech posing for a photo with a poster like this in his hand.

I think it is important to take a stand against hate speech of any kind and to challenge it, which is what Twitter users have done. It is deeply disappointing that  CEO of Twitter is in a position like this.

Also, remember that India is a country that voted an OBC to highest office of land via a historical mandate, so we have me strides in last 70 years -- reservation policy, SC/ST Act are all to take us to a path of equality and reconciliation, and this kind of rhetoric only deepens divided.

Tomorrow, if re was a terrorist attack by someone from a mirity community and poster targeting said community came up on Twitter, we would oppose it and we should.

Targeting, stereotyping and hate speech against a community has to stop. In this, Twitter has an important role to play and its CEO posing with a poster, contents of which may be defined as hate speech, are deeply worrying.
