Rahul Gandhi Shocker: Blames Railways Of Caste Differentiation, Likens Loco Pilots To 'Mahadalits'

Rahul Gandhi has sparked anor controversy by blaming Indian Railways for caste differentiation. Rahul's recent statement has sparked controversy, with netizens accusing him of unnecessarily sowing division among Indians. In one of his interactions with Railway workers, Gandhi seemingly equated loco pilots with Mahalits, implying a direct link between job roles within railways and caste-based discrimination. This logic not only misrepresents complexities of Indian Railways workforce but also perpetuates a divisive narrative many feel is counterproductive.

"Mujhe lag raha hai jaat ka system bana rakha hai, Upar...upar..upar Raja maharaja aur fir ahistey, ahistey alag alag jatein bana rakhi hai aur uska naam bal dia... loco pilot bana dia, trackman bana dia...Railway ke Mahalit ho aap, (Railways has segregated work on caste divisions. Locopilots and Trackman are Railways's Mahalit), " Rahul says in video.

Railways, one of largest employers in country, employs people from diverse backgrounds and castes. To suggest that specific job roles are tied to particular caste identities misrepresents functioning of this institution and undermines railway recruitment process.

Rar than fostering unity, such remarks can potentially deepen societal divides by reinforcing caste-based stereos. Many argue that inste of making sweeping generalizations about caste discrimination, leers should focus on promoting meritocracy and equal opportunity, emphasizing unity rar than stoking fires of division. This is not first instance where Rahul's comments have defied logic.
