Explanation

A 37-second video of a person’s speech in a parliament is shared widely on Twitter with the claim that a law was passed against Brahmins in America so that Brahmins will remain human and not superior in America. These posts with such a claim also mention that ‘Jai Bhim’ slogans were raised in the parliament. Such posts can be seen here and here.

This claim is being shared in Hindi as “अमेरिका में हुआ ब्राह्मणों के खिलाफ कानून पारित!!संसद में लगे जय भीम के नारे।अमेरिका में ब्राह्मण इंसान बनकर रहेगा कि श्रेष्ठ बनकर।। बोलोजय भीम

What is the truth?

When reverse-searching the keyframes of the video, an 8, January 2023 dated tweet by Dayanand Kamble is found carrying the matching visuals from the viral video. This video is of 9:24 minutes and the part of the viral video is seen at the beginning of this video. This tweet is captioned that Christopher Queen initiated his speech by saying ‘Jai Bhim’ at United Nations and delivered his speech on Babasaheb Ambedkar and Dr. Martin Luther King. The tweet further mentioned that Christopher Queen also spoke about Rohit Vemula’s death. Nowhere in this video, we could find a law being passed against Brahmins.

When searching with the keywords ‘Christopher Queen jai bhim’, an 11:16 minutes video dated 2, January 2023 is found on the ‘VR Ambedkarite’ YouTube channel. This video is titled “It’s such a pleasure to say JAI BHIM here at United Nations. Prof Christopher Queen” and has the viral video clipping in it. And the video does not include a clipping of a law being passed against Brahmins.

The viral video seems unedited. Moreover, in the viral video and the original video, nothing against the Brahmins was said. Professor Christopher Queen indeed spoke about Babasaheb Ambedkar and said ‘Jai Bhim’ but no law seems to have passed against Brahmins.

Conclusion

It is found from our search that the video of Christopher Queen saying ‘Jai Bhim’ is shared with a false claim that a law was passed against Brahmins in America.
