"Why am I dangerous? Is it because I say that this country as much mine as it is yours?"
The war among the ruling class Muslims & Hindus isn't new. During the transfer of power, it was Brahmin-Bania Congress vs Ashraf Muslim league. We were always sidelined. Nothing has changed.

The ownership claim of this nation has always been a tug of war between the ruling class Muslims and the ruling class Hindus.
Once, Muslims ruled over this land, after which they were defeated by the British, which then led to the transfer of power back to the UC Hindus.

When Babasaheb demanded separate electorates for the depressed classes, the Ashraf Muslim league was strongly opposed to it.
Even today, Ashrafs like Owaisi are opposed to quotas for "lower castes" among Muslims.

Syed Umar Khalid is the new face and the poster boy of Ashraf politics in India.
His father was the founding member of welfare party, the political wing of the conservative Ashraf organization, Jamaat-e-Islami.

He himself is a part of Bhagat Singh Ambedkar Students Organization (BASO), yet he ironically talks of Gandhian values, who was the archnemesis of Babasaheb & an upholder of the caste system.
He is a practicing Muslim yet an Atheist. Yet it's perfectly normal when Umar does it.

Just how it's okay when a Bhumihar says Jai sita ram, Gandhi zindabad & Stalin-Mao Murdabad he's regarded a Marxist krantikari & hero of the masses. Our "principled" future youth leaders!
Yet when a Dalit leader has differing views there is unjust criticism & mocking involved.

Along with his mate Kanhaiya, Umar was responsible for sidelining the Rohit Vemula movement.
He is not a Bahujan. He is neither an Ambedkarite nor is he for a Bahujan Rashtra.

He is for sidelining our movements, cashing in on the deaths of our leaders and peddling the Hindu-Muslim ruling caste binary politics.

Look at the passionate selective outrage of Savarna "allies" w.r.t. his arrest.
Notice how Bahujans are pressured to speak up for an UC leader otherwise we're declared as reductive Ambedkarites and ruthlessly demonized.

Notice how Indian jails are jam-packed with SC/ST leaders and activists but only Kanhaiya and Umar get to be called Political prisoners.
It's all a fight between the UCs among Hindus and Muslims. We are mere bhed bakri and pawns in their chess game.

Do we have our autonomy? No. Their unity is called progressive leadership, our autonomy is called Identity politics.
This is how casteism functions in the left liberal world.
