Twitter CEO Dorsey Sparks Indian Social Media Storm
The reference to Brahmins, the traditional priestly class who sit atop the rigid caste hierarchy, outraged some Hindus when the photograph was posted online Sunday evening.
Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey has been accused of inciting hate against India’s highest caste after being photographed holding a poster declaring “smash Brahminical patriarchy” during a visit to the country. Dorsey was snapped holding the offending poster alongside six women who participated in a discussion last week on the role of Twitter in India, where caste is a flashpoint issue and grievances can turn violent.
