“Accomplished poet, writer and activist” Meena Kandasamy has shot herself in the foot by admitting that she did not press charges against her molester because he was a non-Brahmin and also because of the fear of being branded as a “Brahmin-stooge”.
In her social media post, Meena Kandasamy said that in 2010, when she was a 25-year-old who was a UGC visiting fellow at JNU, she refused to press charges against a non-Brahmin faculty who molested her.
“I told many academic well-wishers, professors, in JNU, and writers in Delhi about what happened, but I didn’t act because I thought of two things”, Meena Kandasamy wrote stating that one of the reasons she kept quiet about the assault on her is because she had received her first pay check in her life from the wife of the alleged sexual predator.
The other reason that she wrote was this: “No one would see a young woman who wanted justice, they would read it only as a Brahmin Head of Center (the professor who invited me) making use of me against a non-Brahmin intellectual. Even in the moment of seeking autonomy, I would be read as an agent. If I had been invited to JNU by a Dalit or a Bahujan, I would have thought differently. I decided to maintain my silence because living with the humiliation of molestation seemed better than being called a Brahmin-stooge.”
To put in a nut-shell she protected a sexual predator just because he was a not a Brahmin. She was more worried about being branded as a Brahmin stooge going after a ‘non-Brahmin’ academic that she chose to live with the trauma for years in order to prove her ‘social justice’ credentials.
