On March 18, 2025, Shikhar Pahariya took to Instagram Stories and shared a screenshot of his post. He also posted the user’s comment that said, “Lekin tu toh dalit hai (But you’re a Dalit),” which was accompanied by a laughing emoji.
Calling out the mindset, Shikhar stated, “It's honestly pathetic that in 2025, there are still people like you with such a small, backward mindset.” Highlighting India’s diversity, he continued, “Diwali is a festival of light, progress, and unity, concepts that are clearly beyond your limited intellect. India's strength has always been in its diversity and inclusivity, something you clearly fail to grasp.”
Shikhar concluded, “Maybe instead of spreading ignorance, you should focus on educating yourself because right now, the only thing truly ‘untouchable’ here is your level of thinking.”
