Indian CEO, who claimed 'Brahmins are the new Jews of India,' now flaunts '#BrahminGenes' stickers on her car
Anuradha Tiwari's proclamation of pride with her "#BrahminGenes" car stickers highlights the age-old problem of caste identity and discrimination in Indian society. While she celebrates her Brahmin heritage, numerous critics on social media have condemned her for promoting 'caste supremacy,' asserting that such displays merely perpetuate outdated ideas of superiority based on caste.
¡°Just got my car stamped with #BrahminGenes,¡± declared Anuradha Tiwari, a self-identified ¡®proud Brahmin.¡¯ This bold statement underscores the persistent presence of caste identity and discrimination within Indian society, a reality that many are all too familiar with. Statements like Tiwari's amplifies such beliefs, highlighting the challenge of dismantling outdated notions of superiority based on caste.

How did people respond?
In the comments section, many users called Tiwari out for promoting ¡®caste supremacy.¡¯
One user pointedly remarked, ¡°The irony, she is presenting herself as a torch bearer of Hinduism with #BrahminGenes. The torch bearers of Hinduism does not show caste supremacy. They talk about the entire Hindu society.¡±
Another commented wrote, ¡°These are the same people who keep crying "there's no caste system in India anymore, reservation should be on the basis economic status.¡±
Yet another user expressed frustration, stating, ¡°This deep castesim has to die down in India, Else even after 5 generations, this kind of Madness will prevail.Hinduism today is all about Just casteism.¡±
