&lt;p&gt;After Hyderabad Animal Rights March on September 7, 2025, a bunch of Acharya Prashant followers urged us to buy his books including Gita.  When we said no, for Gita upholds casteism, they argued casteism isn&amp;apos;t a real problem and that brahmins are victimised too.  Here&amp;apos;s my argument with these caste-blind savarnas.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Posting quotations about Bhim Rao Ambedkar, Periyar, Martin Luther King, Jr, or any other anti-oppression activist is just merely set of empty words, and a failure to actually grasp oppression, if you are going to continue oppressing the most defenseless, and innocent animals.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While it is easy to speak, Lakhshya Speaks show your commitment to justice and anti-oppression, by putting an end to animal oppression.  It is easy to criticise others, when you are not the oppressor.  But Lakhshya, it is time to walk the walk after the smooth talk about anti-oppression.  It is high time, you start looking at the animals as the forgotten and ignored victims, and to actually stand with the oppressed.&lt;/p&gt;

		&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit dated March 12, 2026:&lt;/strong&gt; I am not vouching for people that I have mentioned in the video.  I have strong political disagreements with a few of them, which I was made aware of, after the video was published.  However, it is important for me to point out, that the activist I mentioned in the video—who goes by the name &amp;quot;Darshan Defends&amp;quot;—has admitted to raping a fellow animal rights activist, which I was unaware of, when this above video was made.  The details can be found &lt;a href=&#34;https://firebyagni.net/media/dst/videos/lies-of-lakhshya-speaks/darshan-defends-rapist.mp4&#34;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Edit dated September 30, 2026:&lt;/strong&gt; Additionally, there are other people whom I mentioned in the video (around the timestamp 11:29).  Some of them are zionists, transmisic, and anti-Muslim bigots.  I didn&amp;apos;t know this back then.  Mentioning their names is in no way an endorsement of them, and must not be treated as such.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After pretending to be &amp;quot;receptive&amp;quot; to the cause of the non-human animal liberation from the human-led oppression and tyranny; self-proclaimed anti-oppressor Lakhshya Speaks threw the non-human animals and animal liberation under the bus, while blatantly lying and gaslighting people, verbally-abusing the activists and more importantly, failing to even acknowledge that the non-human animals are also oppressed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lakhshya says he &amp;quot;agrees&amp;quot; with the philosophy, but why he refuse to change his mentality and actions is beyond me.  When activists held his feet to fire, his excuses were just a spin-off of the typical illogical statements oppressors have used throughout history.  Does he give any justification?  No, he hides behind red-herring of &amp;quot;first tell your family&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;what is your caste location?&amp;quot;, or &amp;quot;why are you questioning me?&amp;quot; and later on, he laughs mockingly about the topic and even says &amp;quot;humans come first&amp;quot;.  He also accuses the activists to be casteists, with no evidence.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I think it is important to call out the bad faith nature, so that those, who are truly anti-oppression can see the breakdown of the story in its entirety, and come to the conversation of eradicating injustice in a more responsible and accountable way.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I don&amp;apos;t think as of now (I am typing this as I upload it), there is much to add in the description which I have not already covered in the video; but I am open to having a good-faith conversation about it, should I have missed out on anything.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just one suggestion, should you disagree with his clear lack of care for the non-human animal victims; don&amp;apos;t make any ad hominem attacks, or sly comments.  But do call out his bad-faith arguments and hold him accountable for the oppressions he chooses to de-prioritise or even completely ignore.&lt;/p&gt;
