JustBurstOut’s CEO, Anuradha Tiwari sparked a controversy on the internet with a post on X (formerly twitter). The post had a photo of her enjoying coconut water with flexing her biceps. This is not what led to the controversy. All it took was her two word caption ‘Brahmin Genes’ to spark the controversy on the internet. The post by Anuradha went quickly viral on the internet, faster than she expected. The post got over 1.9 million views and got more than 8000 likes in no time, but also attracted some controversy with it. Currently, the post has over 7 million views.
A pinned post on Anuradha’s profile was posted on August 2022 is as follows. “I am a student from General category. I live in a rented house. And my ancestors haven’t passed me any acres of land. Despite scoring 95% I couldn’t get admission in a renowned college but on the other hand my friend who scored 60% got the admission. Just because he/she comes from a well off family. And then people ask me that I have problems with reservation system?” The post was against the frustration about the reservation system. Anuradha is believed to have a strong belief against ‘One Family, One Reservation’.
Anuradha backs her claim on ‘Brahmin Genes’ post:
The post by Anuradha on ‘Brahmin Genes’ secured both support and criticism from the internet. Anuradha, in her posts, shared the hatred that has been spread towards the Brahmin Community for social oppression.

Her successive post mentions “this was expected, the people on the internet got triggered by the word Brahmin. This tells us who the real casteists are. The upper castes have not got anything from the system, no freebies, and no reservations. Deal with it. We earn everything on our own and we have a right to be proud of our lineage.”
Anuradha’s reply to Chetan Bhagat:
The controversy even earned a look from Chetan Bhagat. He commented that the controversy is just spitting the consolidated vote bank of ‘Hindu’. To which, Anuradha shot back and replied. “Suddenly, the whole Hindu Unity is in danger, when a Brahmin decides to take a stand for themselves.”
