For some context, I am from India too, and even rabid right wingers in my family (mostly men, for obvious reasons) don’t have a problem with reservations. The only people who tend to have a problem with those are upper caste people, who are about 30% of the population. This is a truly elitist position. I have faced casteism even in one of the most urban, educated and wealthy cities in India where I lived for a while (Bangalore) and I am not even a Dalit (the ‘untouchables’, i.e., SC/ST people). This is a hilariously out of touch position in real life, it’s more common on the internet because of the dominance of UCs and their generational privilege.
