Twitter Inc. Chief Executive Officer Jack Dorsey landed himself in a raging controversy in India by posing for a photo with a sign alluding to the touchy subject of the country’s caste system.

While on a tour of one of Twitter’s fastest-growing markets, Dorsey met with a group of women activists and journalists, and was photographed alongside them holding a poster that read: “Smash Brahminical Patriarchy.” The photograph went viral and Dorsey got trolled on the very social network he built.
