Ashwin hits back at casteist remark on Vijay's victory post

Ravichandran Ashwin reacted strongly after a casteist remark targeted him on X following his congratulatory post for actor-politician Vijay's Tamil Nadu Assembly election victory. "Who I was born to wasn't my choice," he wrote, adding, "Leadership is empathy and enabling growth beyond barriers." He stressed equality over lineage and said he hopes caste discussions end in society.
