Pirate Praveen 普拉文https://democracycollective.in/ is a new initiative from someone I know in the #FreeSoftware community. I feel this and https://pirates.org.in have a lot of things in common so I will try to engage and work with them.
Pirate BadyDo any of you from #India think #caste can exist without caste-based #discrimination? #Ambedkar didn't think so, neither do I.
"There will be outcastes as long as there are castes."
Dr. B R Ambedkar, #AnnihilationOfCaste

Add to basic principles: Annihilation of Caste
<p>"The real method of breaking up the Caste System was... to destroy the religious notions upon which caste is founded" - Dr. B. R. Ambedkar. We are committed to Ambedkar's dream of annihilation of caste.</p><p>Malayalam: "ജാതിവ്യവസ്ഥ തകർക്കാനുള്ള ശരിയായ വഴി ജാതി സൃഷ്ടിക്കാനുപയോഗിച്ച മതത്തിന്റെ ആശയങ്ങൾ തകർക്കുക എന്നതാണ്". ഡോ. ബി. ആർ. അംബേദ്കർ. ജാതി ഇല്ലാതാക്കാനുള്ള അംബേദ്കറുടെ സ്വപ്നം യാഥാർത്ഥ്യമാക്കാൻ ഞങ്ങൾ നിലകൊള്ളുന്നു.</p>

#IndianPirates urge people to #boycott centralized social media platforms like #Facebook & #WhatsApp which have really bad track records when it comes to #privacy of the users or influencing political choices of users or siding with ruling parties. We recommend switching to #federated #SocialMedia like #Mastodon, #Diaspora, #Matrix & #XMPP.

For eg. #IndianPirates is currently a small group of people, with the aspiration to become a political party that are against the current norms by promoting direct democracy internally and respecting dissent by giving voice to everyone.
