How social media Reshape the caste imagination and mobilization

1.social media reshaped caste imagination ( now people can overcome the getto mentality which was ingrained by caste based socialization ) 

2.preferred medium of dissemination of counter culture ( social media is replacing pamphlets in the political rallies of parties such as bahujan samaj party)

 3.technology doesn't discriminate ( technology has proved more liberating than any reform ) 

4.caste based mobilization ( dalit mobilization on social media is breaking the stereotypes cherished for centuries by the high castes )

 5.social justice (Dalit intellectuals and organizers make use of social media to address the issue of marginality and social injustice in the case of Dalits )

 6.discrimination by mainstream media ( The mainstream media have not given adequate attention to the condition of the Dalit-Bahujans in india.)

 7.change the form of social movements ( social movements without leaders ) 

8.caste based division of social media platforms ( instragram-brahmina + twitter- kshatriya + Facebook-vaishya + tiktok - shudras. Shudras of the internet)

 9.there is an attempt to build social discourse ( result:dalit consciousness--> dalit empowerment )

 The social media have come to the rescue of the marginalized sections and provided adequate space for the discussion of the issues of the neglected Indians.
