Banglore-based entrepreneur Anuradha Tiwari sparked outrage with her flexing muscle pose and the caption “Brahmin Genes”. “Hate against Brahmin is truly next level”, the Just Out Brust’s CEO added fuel to the controversy.
What made this post, a topic of discussion?
On August 22, Anuradha Tiwari shared a photograph that shows her flexing her muscles on X and captioned it as “Brahmin Genes”. Her representation of the caste in her post sparked outrage since Anuradha is an outspoken advocate, who opposes caste-based reservation. Her X bio also reflects her ideology as she wrote “One family one reservation.”

So, this tweet of the TEDx speaker raised eyebrows, with netizens slamming Anuradha as a casteist and calling on her to do better. This tweet has received 1.3 million views just in one day. Notably Supreme Court advocate Shashank Ratnoo reacted to her tweet with his statement, “Precisely why casteism is still present! Being fit is good but attributing that to superior or specific genes is not the way to build one family one India,”
As expected, a mere mention of word 'Brahmin' triggered many inferior beings. Tells a lot about who real casteists are.
UCs get nothing from system – no Reservation, no freebies. We earn everything on our own and have every right to be proud of our lineage. So, deal with it. https://t.co/e1FhC13oVz

An X user also reminded her of Dr. Ambedkhar and his efforts to demolish caste discrimination “According to the Manusmruti, girls should stay at home all the time, take care of their husbands, and do nothing else. But because of the Constitution, you’re flexing your triceps on Twitter and living life your own way. So go ahead and thank Babasaheb Ambedkar for that!”. Other users mentioned her dress, as she was wearing shorts, and the references to Manusmriti, which leads to unnecessary issues as well.

Reacting to this, Anuradha yesterday made another tweet, where she tagged an article from Hindustan Times and captioned it as “Just one harmless tweet and the so-called social justice crusaders lost their minds. Hate against Brahmins is truly next-level.”
This again added fuel to the burning issue, with people X users discussing reservations and considering it as a hatred against Brahmins. The Hindustan Times article was headlined “Bengaluru CEO flexes ‘Brahmin genes’ in controversial post, slammed as casteist”.
