Was thinking about this for quite some time and finally felt like writing it down. To the Bahujan students in some of the elite institutes of the country -
I am saying this as someone who has been to one of the most elite institutes of this country. If there’s one thing I would like you to do, it is to be kind, humble and accessible. That’s very very important.
Be comforting to your fellow Bahujan students. Never be intimidating to your own people. Take special care for this because while being surrounded by people who reeks of supremacy, we tend to sometimes lose our empathy.
If there’s one thing that will connect you to the other Bahujan student in your space, it is your empathy and shared struggle. We do not have many ways to get connected to each other especially when we are so less in number at these places.
It’s okay to think twice before speaking. Think if there’s a better, more encouraging way to say something when you are talking to another Bahujan student.
Your assertion must give hope to other students and not end up intimidating them. For this, look up to Babasaheb who used to wear the best of coats among his people who struggled to meet their daily needs but still could feel Babasaheb’s love for them.
Many of the students I could connect to was not because I explicitly talked about my identity but because I could empathetically talk about our concerns in a way that was perceived to be accessible to others who would later come to talk to me.
Especially if you are in graduation, that is the time of your life when you understand love. Practice love in the most sincere way towards your community. A community that looks up to you for their brighter future.
Cultivate love along with cultivating mind. Empathy will make your politics more sharper and save it from being problematic. :)
This is everything I want to say on Rohith’s Birth Anniversary. Johar Rohith!
