Discrimination has become so common in day-to-day life that we overlook it even when it occurs right in front of our eyes. Most of us didn’t realize that discrimination invaded our own house when a house help was offered a different glass to sip water from.
In yet another episode of classism mirrored officially in public places, we have an apparently posh society in Pune that has a note pasted right on the lift that critically discriminates against humans.
Segregating humans comes naturally to Indians.

A Twitter user named @sandeep PT shared a photo of notice outside a lift that clearly demonstrates how there’s no iota of shame in people who openly flaunt their classist views.
This tweet has caused quite a stir on Twitter, and it is justified.
Have observed such signages at many places/societies. https://t.co/uJaSSwxgbQ

its less about the so-called maintenance, its more about the “mental comfort” of the orthodox residents/rule-makers, who feel uncomfortable cuz a service worker is in the same cubicle as them for like 20 seconds. and its cultivated at such an early age. https://t.co/0KftRBVSzx

Racism is deeply entrenched in the Indian elites psyche. These same people then emigrate to Western countries and scream racism when things don’t go their way. https://t.co/8xdmABAp12

They said it’s 2022 and our society is free from the clutches of discrimination. *Slow claps*
