India just witnessed the unthinkable. The Chief Justice of India, Justice BR Gavai, a Dalit, has become the target of open hostility, abuse, and even physical attack. What makes this worse is not the fringe instigators but the mainstream protectors—BJP’s official spokesperson shivam Tyagi was spotted escorting Ajeet Bharti, a man accused of instigating hate against the CJI. When hate peddlers get VIP treatment and walk free after police questioning, what does it say about Modi’s “New India”?
1. Hate Has Official Escorts Now
When bjp spokespersons—people tasked with defending the party line—are seen accompanying those who abuse and attack the Chief Justice, it’s not “fringe.” It’s endorsement. It’s complicity in broad daylight.
2. Dalit Identity Is the Real Target
Let’s not pretend this is about “free speech” or “criticism.” Would the same venom be hurled if the CJI weren’t Dalit? The attacks on Justice Gavai are caste-loaded, meant to delegitimize his authority and humiliate his community.
3. No arrest, Only Drama
Noida police questioned Ajeet Bharti, then released him. No FIR under hate-speech provisions. No preventive custody. Just a token interrogation to calm outrage, while the hate machine runs uninterrupted.
4. If the bjp wanted Action, It Would Happen in Minutes
This is the same bjp that can arrest comedians, students, or journalists overnight for a tweet. But here, when their own man is involved, suddenly the law becomes a snail. Selective action is the purest proof of political protection.
5. Modi and Shah’s Silence = Approval
When the prime minister thunders on every petty issue but goes mute when the Chief Justice is insulted, that silence is endorsement. Every Dalit in this country should read this silence for what it is: complicity.
6. A Message to Dalits Across India
If the highest judicial officer in the land can be mocked, attacked, and insulted while the ruling party shields his abusers, then ordinary Dalits are being sent a message: “Your dignity will always be negotiable.”
7. The Shoe Was Just a Symbol
The real attack is not the shoe thrown in court. The real attack is the attempt to delegitimize a Dalit CJI, strip him of respect, and remind his community that caste still rules, even in 2025.
🚨 Closing Punch:
Dalits must never forget this moment. A Chief Justice, belonging to the Scheduled Castes, is being systematically disrespected while bjp leaders walk hand-in-hand with his abusers. This is not about one man; it’s about the dignity of an entire community. If Ajeet Bharti walks free today, tomorrow every casteist hate-monger will feel emboldened.
👉 Justice Gavai’s humiliation is a warning bell. If you stay silent now, the system will never hesitate to humiliate you next.
