A reminder to Hinduized shudra/dalit rambhakts that, if Rama was (real and) alive now, he'd probably behead you for being literate etc (literacy is prohibited to you by Shastras), just as he beheaded Shambuka

"Meritocracy is not simply the idea that knowledge and ability are important for determining who does a particular profession... meritocracy is primarily about justifying a vastly unequal distribution of economic resources.
Why should people who are disadvantaged by either nature or misfortune be thrust into poverty and those blessed with greater talent and better luck be rewarded with wealth? This is degrading, it's insulting, it's cruel and it's unnecessary.
All of us have merit... all of us are deserving and worthy of the comforts and pleasures that this life has to offer."

Why is Jai Sri Ram precisely the slogan they chose to use for their cultural imposition on us?
Why Ram?
Why not any other deity?
Because Ram is precisely the most depraved among Aryan gods, the most depraved avatar of the most depraved Aryan god Vishnu.
Ram – an Aryan Kshatriya king. The perfect symbol of oppression.
Like all Aryan gods, Ram was just a disgusting brahmanical fiction. But he was a fiction that symbolized the worst oppression.
In Ram Rajya, casteism and sexism are at their worst. The people suffer the worst.
That's why BJ Party & co chose Ram Rajya as their model.
Ram beheaded a shudra (named Shambuka) simply because he was doing penance (tapas).
Ram strictly defended the varna/caste system.
Ram's attitude towards Sita was obviously very oppressive. He saw her as nothing more than his property.
In all of Ramayana, there are very few instances of Ram, as a king, interacting with the people; even those few instances are messed up and casteist (like the scene which ended in the beheading of Shambuka, where he unquestionably believed a Brahmin's allegation that Shambuka doing tapas was the reason for the death of the brahmin's son).
There's no doubt that Ram Rajya would be the worst and most oppressive model ever.
No wonder the people of Uttar Pradesh have rejected it. They got a taste of Ram Rajya and they immediately rejected it.
What about the rest of us? Will we wait until we also get a taste of it? Rejecting Ram Rajya is inevitable for all of us. But when?
— B.R. Ambedkar

If [Ram Rajya] does become a reality, it will, no doubt, be the greatest calamity for this country. It is a menace to liberty, equality and fraternity. On that account it is incompatible with democracy. [Ram Rajya] must be prevented at any cost.

"We do not hate you or anyone else for the color of her skin. What we hate is a system that confers privileges (and burdens) on people because of their color. It is not fair skin that makes people white; it is fair skin in a certain kind of society, one that attaches social importance to skin color.
When we say we want to abolish the white race, we do not mean we want to exterminate people with fair skin. We mean that we want to do away with the social meaning of skin color, thereby abolishing the white race as a social category.
Consider this parallel: To be against royalty does not mean wanting to kill the king. It means wanting to do away with crowns, thrones, titles, and the privileges attached to them. In our view, whiteness has a lot in common with royalty: they are both social formations that carry unearned advantages."

Dr. B. R. Ambedkar: I have felt that the faith of the Buddha, which does not believe in the Hindu God Brahma, aspires for human beings to be free of dogmas, obscure myths and legends. One can pursue knowledge! One can disown casteist heroes of the Hindus like king Ram, the avatar of Vishnu! And many other sentimental myths of Hinduism.
Dr. Mulk Raj Anand: Indeed, I find the Buddha’s hunches far more plausible than the guesses of the Brahmins. He was the first existentialist of the world. He cried out: ‘Dukha’, ‘Dukha’, ‘Dukha’! The Hindus were always for make-beliefs.
MRA: What is your message for the rejected?
BRA: I say to the Untouchable: Be a lion! Hindus sacrificed goats to the goddess Kali for power. You be your own light—‘atta dipa bhav!’
MRA: Like the Buddha said to Ananda: Be a lamp unto yourself!

"Whether the mask is labeled fascism, democracy, or dictatorship of the proletariat, our great adversary remains the apparatus—the bureaucracy, the police, the military. Not the one facing us across the frontier of the battle lines, which is not so much our enemy as our brothers' enemy, but the one that calls itself our protector and makes us its slaves.
No matter what the circumstances, the worst betrayal will always be to subordinate ourselves to this apparatus and to trample underfoot, in its service, all human values in ourselves and in others."
— Simone Weil

Ram wasn't always a popular god – Ram, an Aryan god, was only a god of Dwijas
So why has he become – or rather, made – a popular god now?
(And this is a recent phenomenon!)
Understand the politics behind it!

"I do not believe in government, and so I am an Anarchist. I believe that government is one of the worst forms of modern oppression, is the source of war and economic oppression, and must be overthrown. Anarchism means that we will have more democracy, social equality, and economic prosperity.
I oppose all forms of oppression found in modern society: patriarchy, white supremacy, Capitalism, State Communism, religious dictates, gay discrimination, etc."
— Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin, Anarchism and the Black Revolution (1993)
