On Saturday, Tiwari hit back at her detractors, saying: "There is an entire system working to make Brahmins feel guilty for their very existence."
Proud Dalit/Muslim/Tribal - Okay

Proud Brahmin - Not okay
There is an entire system working to make Brahmins feel guilty for their very existence.
Time to change this narrative. Be an unapologetic Brahmin. Wear it on your sleeve. Let the so-called social justice warriors burn.
She sarcastically said that while it was ok to be proud of one's Dalit, Muslim, or tribal identity, it was not ok to be a "Proud Brahmin". "Time to change this narrative. Be an unapologetic Brahmin. Wear it on your sleeve. Let the so-called social justice warriors burn," she said in a tweet.
To this, an X user identifying as Aditya Dutta pointed out: "The Tag Bramhin is achieved only when you have the knowledge of 4 Vedas and other holy scriptures of Hinduism. It is not provided by birth but by the work you do. So only if you are dealing with knowledge you are Bramhin [sic]."
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
Anuradha Tiwari on Friday evening said that the mere mention of the word "Brahmin" had triggered the "real casteists". Making an "inferior beings jibe", Anuradha said she was proud of her lineage. She said: "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."
Anuradha Tiwari has been consistently vocal against caste-based reservations. Her X bio reads: “One Family, One Reservation.”
In her earlier posts, Anuradha, who is a TEDx speaker, as well spoke against reservations. In one X post, she said: "Why these rich Reserved category folks are opposing SC/ST sub-classification? You have plenty of money for coaching, so why you need those low cut-off benefits? General category has always been competing on a merit basis. Why are you so scared then?"

In another X post, Anuradha said: "General Category pay highest rate of tax. Yet government gives them NOTHING. They don’t get any preferential treatment. They don’t get any special say in anything. Every single benefit is for Reserved category. We are being blatantly Robbed [sic]."

They don’t get any preferential treatment. They don’t get any special say in anything.
Every single benefit is for Reserved category.
We are being blatantly Robbed.
She also said that those who attacked brahmins, felt inferior. You can't compete with them. The problem isn't them; it's your own insecurity. "If you insult Brahmins when they're just minding their own business, it says a lot about you: You lack confidence. You feel inferior. You can't compete with them. The problem isn't them; it's your own insecurity," she said.
