Make Vellore the capital but first put up the condition of mandatory Hindi learning in all Tamilnadu schools. That should be fun :p:

 

I think locals call it 'Veyyil Uur' (unsure about spelling cos my pronunciation sucks, @velu help), literally means 'blazing hot city'....summers can become unbearable there, apparently much worse than Chennai. Hindi shouldn't be a problem in Vellore because it has many colleges with students from all over India, also a sizable Muslim population that speaks Urdu well. Useless info of the day but it saw India's first mutiny against the goras, 50 years before 1857.

I believe there had been a mutiny organised by Dewan Velu Thampi ( @velu) of Travencore a few years before it which could be said as the first concerted attempt to thwart the British rule.

Did that involve Indian sepoys revolting against EIC troops?

Nah that was more of a local rebellion kind of a thing. But if we are talking in a strictest sense of the word then I believe there was a one small mutiny in the Bengal army as early as 1764 which was easily quelled before it got out of the hand.

One way of looking at it is that , BJP has improved its tally and AAP has lost  atleast 20% of its 2015

Voters telling BJP that they will vote for you as long as leadership is in capable hands. Manoj Tiwari type leaders need to be shunted out

Good sign as far as Bihar is concerned. Vote share of BJP is intact, so that shows people still trust Modi.
