Kangana Ranaut took to Twitter on Sunday to voice her opinions on the caste system and educational reservation in India. She also spoke about the impact it has on students, especially those applying for professional courses. Kangana spoke up after Oprah Winfrey's book club pick on the caste system was trending as it mentions the Indian caste system.

When it was claimed that Indians refuse to talk about the caste system, Kangana took it upon herself to take a firm stand against it. She said that Indians have already rejected the caste system in urban as well as rural areas. Kangana also pointed out that while Indians have let go of it, it's being held for the sadistic pleasure of a few in the form of reservations for the people from SC, ST and OBC.

In a polite but firm manner, Kangana Ranaut said, "Sorry sir but there are many ways of uplifting the oppressed other than gifting them the ranks they don’t qualify for, learn to earn your worth that’s what I stand for, reservation works on the same law as nepotism, undeserving gets the job cos of which Nation suffers, SIMPLE."
