Sorry, says Twitter after CEO poses with ‘smash Brahminical patriarchy’ in pic

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

The picture, posted on Twitter on Sunday by a journalist who was part of group of women journalists, activists, writers whom CEO Jack Dorsey met during a visit to India last week, had him clutching a poster of a woman holding up a banner with the slogan that has offended many.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has kicked up a social media storm in India after a picture of him with a placard saying “smash Brahminical patriarchy” went viral in one of the company’s fastest-growing markets.

The picture, posted on Twitter on Sunday by a journalist who was part of group of women journalists, activists, writers whom Dorsey met during a visit to India last week, had him clutching a poster of a woman holding up a banner with the line that has offended many Indians.

Several prominent Indians, including TV Mohandas Pai, a former finance chief of software exporter Infosys, accused Dorsey of “hate mongering” against Brahmins.

“Tomorrow if @JaCk is given a poster with anti Semitic messages in a meeting, will his team allow him to hold it up?,” Pai tweeted. “Why is that any different? Inciting hate against any community is wrong.”

Twitter India said the poster was handed to Dorsey by a Dalit activist when it hosted a closed-door discussion with a group of women to know more about their experience using Twitter.

It added that the poster was a “tangible reflection of our company’s efforts to see, hear, and understand all sides of important public conversations that happen on our service around the world”.

Late on Monday, Vijaya Gadde, legal, policy and trust and safety lead at Twitter, who accompanied Dorsey to India, apologised.

“I’m very sorry for this. It’s not reflective of our views. We took a private photo with a gift just given to us — we should have been more thoughtful,” she said in a tweet. “Twitter strives to be an impartial platform for all. We failed to do that here & we must do better to serve our customers in India.”

Twitter, whose monthly active users globally averaged 326 million in the July-September quarter, does not disclose the number of its users in India but its executives have said that the country was one of its fastest growing.

Its use is only expected to grow in India in the coming months as political parties in the country of 1.3 billion try to expand their reach to voters ahead of a general election due by May.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with 44.4 million followers, is one of its biggest supporters.

“I enjoy being on this medium, where I’ve made great friends and see everyday the creativity of people,” Modi tweeted last week after meeting Dorsey in New Delhi.

Brahminical patriarchy

what is it ？？？？？？

 

[War Thunder]

what is it ？？？？？？

indian caste system.
Brahmins are the top of the line religious folk.
Kashatriyas are the rulers and fighting class.

The rest are the low caste subjects who deserve no rights, except their responsibilities of serving the above two.

vaisyas - merchant class come before sudra - the lowest caste , meant to the serve the 3 castes.
Vaisyas serve brahmins and kshatriyas (warriors/administrators/royalties) who serve the brahmin caste

Shudras do not serve the upper castes, they are the working class. And this caste system is not rigid.

So Barkha dutt and co. made twitter to apologise to India. That is a good development.

I refer you to the BG commentary by Sri Sridhara Swami of Rudra Sampradaya

Bhagavad Gita 4.13

The sudra or lower class possess only a preponderance for tama guna and their duty is to serve the three previous classes to earn their livelihood.

https://www.bhagavad-gita.us/bhagavad-gita-4-13/

the commentary can be reconciled with the purusha sukta verse which mentions brahmins was the mouth; the Kshatriyas the arms; Vaishya the thighs and the Sudra made from the feet of the creator -Purusha .

 

[Srinivas]

this is the real meaning
BG 4.13: The four categories of occupations were created by me according to people’s qualities and activities. Although I am the creator of this system, know me to be the non-doer and eternal.

if you do not know about Bagavad gita, do not post your own views dude .

this is what I wrote "BG commentary by Sri Sridhara Swami of Rudra Sampradaya" do you understand the difference between translation and commentary ?

You should know this - there are 4 bonafide Vaisnava sampradays, Rudra sampradaya is one of them thus you can not dismiss the commentary of the samparday's well known acharya -Sridhara swami. In orthodox "Hindu" lexicon , commentary is known as bhasya which forms an important basis of the sampradaya's (lineage) philosophy and ideology

Rudra sampradaya

Rudra sampradaya is a bonafide of Vaishnava samprayadaya? Shivaites are a different sampradaya altogether

commentary should not be considered at all, you should take the meaning. Commentary is the view of the author which will not have any weight.

ugh being in the tech industry myself and seeing and dealing with indian tantrums is so funny.

they litreally try to act offended at every thing.

recently a health suppliments millionaire from mumbai opened an IT company here in the UK, his company employed around 200 new staff for the new office from various different countries and culutres all UK citizens though.

one the first day the ceo walked in into his new building to introduce himsef to his staff, he goes to tell them as he is hindu no one is allowed to eat meat on the premises of the office.

needless to say the imbecile got various legal notices by his staff saying its against the human rights and thre is no work law that stops people from eating meat at their work place. He threw a tantrum and told his mangement that he wants veg only staff to work in the company from now on, where he was told that this isnt India he cant discriminate against a human being for what they eat or who they pray to.

I can ask him to go f**k himself if he believes that. There is no supreme authority over any beliefs, be it Vaishnavites or Shaivites, Shakteya etc... We will gracefully ignore.

Also, like the last time, you are still back with twisting Gita.

Ignore the faker. He has been caught as a Faker a lot of times, besides,his comments clearly show his true colors.

As he said, "Vaishnavites should follow the interpretation of this preacher". You find that similar to any particular group?

your confusion of Rudra sampradaya with saivites is understandable. All smapradays must write commentaries on vedanta which includes the Bhagavad Gita. This forms the basis of their philosophical ideology i.e tattva

the diagram below should help. (note : Mayavada school is not a vaisnava sampradaya)

not true, they are not authors but acharyas (spiritual leaders) of their respective sect/lineage. However, their commentary should not be in conflict with the vedas or prasthana trayam (Prasthānatrayī consist of 1) the Principle (Mukhya) Upanishads, 2) the Bhagavad Gita, and 3) the Brahma Sutra. A description of their traditional origin as the three sources is well explained by T. S. Narayana Sastry:}

Ancient texts support the claim that Sudras exist to serve the other three castes. “The duty…That of a Sudra is the serving of twice-born, agriculture and cattle-breeding and trade, profession of artisans and court-bards” (Rao 61).

Prabhupada founder of ISKCON (western branch of Brahma sampradaya) commentary on the duty of sudra. I have only repeated what these acharyas ( masters) have expounded

Krsna, The Supreme Personality of Godhead

The proper prescribed duty of the brāhmaṇas is the study of the Vedas; the proper duty of the royal order, the kṣatriyas, is engagement in protecting the citizens; the proper duty of the vaiśya community is agriculture, trade and protection of the cows; and the proper duty of the śūdras is service to the higher classes, namely the brāhmaṇas, kṣatriyas and vaiśyas

Krsna Book, Chapter 24: "My dear father," Lord Krsna said, "there is no need to worship the demigod Indra. Everyone has to achieve the result of his own work. We can actually see that one becomes busy according to the natural tendency of his work; and according to that natural tendency, all living entities -- whether human beings or demigods -- achieve their respective results. All living entities achieve higher or lower bodies and create enemies, friends or neutral parties only because of their different kinds of work. One should be careful to discharge duties according to his natural instinct and not divert attention to the worship of various demigods. The demigods will be satisfied by proper execution of all duties, so there is no need to worship them. Let us, rather, perform our prescribed duties very nicely. Actually, one cannot be happy without executing his proper prescribed duty. One who does not, therefore, properly discharge his prescribed duties is compared to an unchaste wife. The proper prescribed duty of the brahmanas is the study of the Vedas; the proper duty of the royal order, the ksatriyas, is engagement in protecting the citizens; the proper duty of the vaisya community is agriculture, trade and protection of the cows; and the proper duty of the sudras is service to the higher classes, namely the brahmanas, ksatriyas and vaisyas. We belong to the vaisya community, and our proper duty is to farm, to trade with the agricultural produce, to protect cows or to take to banking."
