In previous posts, the entrepreneur and TEDx speaker has voiced her frustration with the reservation system, arguing that it unfairly disadvantages students from the general category. In an August 2022 post, she wrote: “I am a general category student. My ancestors have passed me down 0.00 acres of land. I live in a rented house. I couldn’t get admission despite scoring 95% but my classmate who scored 60% & comes from a well-off family gets admission. And you ask me why I have a problem with reservation?”
The “Brahmin genes” post has fueled discussions on social media, with many criticizing Tiwari for perpetuating caste-based discrimination. The controversy highlights the ongoing tensions surrounding the reservation system in India and the sensitive nature of caste-related discourse.
