Vimoh Live 🎙️Here is a thread I composed and posted to Twitter in September 2018. It went kind-of viral. I am rather fond of it myself because you don't often go viral for something you genuinely care about. And this I really care about. Here goes:
Sridhar Ramaswamy@vimoh I remember reading this when you had put it on Twitter and I liked it then. I was very happy to re-read the whole thing again. I can relate to every single word you wrote about. I remember what it meant to be scoffed at for choosing humanities over the sciences at the Intermediate level. I don't think anyone could have explained it better than the way you just did. This is something I care about a lot too. Have you written an article on it??? It would be easier to share on other platforms
@sridhar85 Thanks a lot. I did share it on my personal email newsletter. You can see it here - https://vimoh.substack.com/p/the-science-caste-loses-its-privilege
The loss of Science Stream privilege
A large section of India's so-called educated middle-class is socially regressive and shows support for demagogues and opposes progressive values. People wonder why this is so. I however, wonder why this is surprising. It's clear as day. It's all in our education system.
@vimoh Can I share it on other platforms??? Only if you approve of course!!!
@sridhar85 Sure. Just as long as you don't charge money for it and link to the original. :)
@vimoh No no not at all I meant like on FB and stuff.
@sridhar85 Please go ahead. I will be honoured. :)
