For all the Meenas out there
I'll cut the bs and get straight to the point
What do you all think about yourself.
I'm a Meena from Alwar but was raised in Delhi
Im just curious about my identity nothing more
All the things I have seen on the internet are just contradictory BS. Some says we are subpart of bhils which is as I learned utter BS. They are called Bhil Meenas and are treated as a separate caste.
And on social platforms there is just hate with no real info.
One day we are Rich, Landowning UC taking rights of real tribes
Other day we are Shudras
On another day we are worse off than dalits 'ajankyas' or something like that
Then we are actually jungli adivasis one day
So what exactly is the truth.
My family says we are just a pastoral community which ruled certain areas during some period of history.
To me the pastoral one makes sense since I have never actually faced discrimination in my villages like other SCs and STs.
But I have seen some posts about Meenas being discriminated against and even assaulted in southern and western Rajasthan.
And also the Matasyavanshi one. Most people ik don't worship bhagwan Matasya.
Edit: I'm asking because of genuine curiosity Why are y'all downvoting me ? I never called myself the top of the Caste system or denied being tribal or anything so what's with the hate comments ?
