They aren't too aggressive, talk politely, dont chew beetel leaves and keep their surroundings clean. There are many Tamilians & Malyalis who worked in BHEL & Cement companies are are now settled there. My school itself out of 60 in class we had 7 Malyalis. If they are forced to go this violent, something must have went too wrong. My guess is this is Kumbh crowd. The trains are unable to bear the burden due to saturated tracks and Airlines are extremely expensive (Hyderabad to Varanasi is costing 16k to 20k for one way). Roads have their own limitations as govt is trying to regulate the traffic to the city. Think of inconvenience to locals who are travelling daily while influx of devotees is putting massive strain on daily life and city infrastructure. Keyboard warriors have no idea. For example Everyone sees local train of Mumbai in movies. But when that outsider reaches to a Mumbai platform during office hours and sees Local train.

Shows you how stupid they are for following the American model of infrastructure. North Indian arrogance has no limits. TTE is going to abuse people trying to get into reserved coaches. But that dude was trying to break train door. Look at the comments from the instagram OP who posted that video. He is defending that behaviour. Rail infra has severe problems. It can't handle the load of so many trains and even the terminating/originating stations have saturated load capacity. Plus the passenger class under 2AC is loss bearing for Indian Railways. There are Mahakumbh specials running, Prayagraj & it's nearby stations have done the planning as well. There are dedicated entry points created for passengers who are travelling from different classes and directions. But the stations en route arent prepared enough. Jabalpur, in example shown here hasn't geared itself for so much rush. Also, the devotees who want to go to Kumbh often board the regular trains instead of specials, coz regular trains are usually on time and will reach to main station instead of specials which will terminate at nearby stations. Think an example of a train from Rameshwaram terminating at Chennai Central vs a train terminating at Tambaram. People will obviously prefer the earlier one coz it covers entire city. mishra and coffee_rules 2

Fares has to be regulated.

You are responding with logic and reasoning who see it as a Naarth Indian vs South Indians and stereotyping as “ usual suspects “!! It is a common issue all over India. Only people on SM are myopic and with limited vision. Koopa mandookas seeing insta reels and making opinions . They think South India is like Switzerland and use terms like Bimaru to demean fellow Indians. mishra, AuxiliA and singhvivek141 2 1

It doesn't matter who's to blame; both sides have reasons that seem legit on their own. But all this infighting weakens us and makes us easy targets for the propaganda those agenda-pushers are spreading on social media. So I try to avoid making things worse and just play it down.

Railway budget is also supposed to allocate resources to create new tracks or expand the number of existing tracks. Forget about making money in Railways. Railways is a service. As long as it is break even in total, it is fine. Even if it loses money, Government should invest in Rail infrastructure. You said "IR don't make money under 2AC.". Already this Modi govt reduced the number of unreserved coaches in all trains. How will poor people travel? That's why there has been a surge in people entering reserved coaches in the last 4 yrs. States like Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, UP, MP need trains with more unreserved coaches. Maybe Indian Railways should start running entire trains full of unreserved "deen dayalu" coaches in these states. On the bolded part, just to give you another update that the process has started to reverse. Many trains are now loosing AC coches and in place of them Sleeper class & Gen coaches are being produced. The new Amrit Bharat trains (100 this year) are focussed on Sleeper and General coaches only. On the infra part, govt is indeed spending money. But major chunk of it is going in building infra at North East & up in Kashmir. Which are important strategic routes, but from revenue point of view will not be able to meet RoR. If one sector is in losses. Others will have to bear the load of it. Which means less money for industries, space, education & military. coffee_rules 1

I haven't travelled in TN, but in Telangana trains like Simphapuri Express, Gowthami too encroachment happens. While even in North, trains like Bhopal Shatabdi, Lucknow Swarna Shatabdi, Shiv Ganga Express are in class of their own in terms of maintenance, cleanliness and crowd handling. mishra and coffee_rules 1 1

If Bengal needs unreserved coach, then our copycat younger bro tamils also need coach. Our metrics are pretty much identical trajectories in everything with Bengal being earlier Than Tamilia, thus older bro. Vicks57 1

Stan AF Posted February 14, 2025 Posted February 14, 2025 Dalit student's hands hacked by caste Hindu men for riding a 'Bullet' in Tamil Nadu's Sivaganga The caste Hindu youths confronted Iyyasamy and attacked him with sharp weapons saying that Dalits should not ride high-end bikes. Express News Service Updated:13th Feb, 2025 at 4:44 PM SIVAGANGA: A 21-year-old Dalit student from Melapidavur village in Sivaganga district was attacked by caste Hindus for riding a 'Bullet' on Wednesday late evening. The Dalit youth R Iyyasamy suffered hack injuries on both his hands. He is presently undergoing treatment at the Government Rajaji Hospital in Madurai, about 45 kms away. According to police, late on Wednesday evening when Iyyasamy was returning home on his motorcycle, he was confronted by three caste Hindus namely, R Vinothkumar (21), A Atheeshwaran (22) and M Vallarasu (21) of the same village. Subsequently, they attacked him with sharp weapons. A relative of the injured college student, Muniyasami said that the caste Hindu men hacked Iyyasamy's hands saying, "only higher community youths can drive high-end bikes, Dalits should not drive such bikes." They also abused him referring to his caste. The gang would have murdered him if Iyyasamy had not managed to flee the place and reach home, he added. After the family members took Iyyasamy to hospital, caste Hindus ransacked the Dalit family's house. Caste discrimination has been prevailing in the village for a long time now, Muniyasami noted, demanding police protection for the family. Iyyasamy's father, Boominathan said the caste Hindus were not happy with his driving of a 'Bullet' bike in the locality. On a previous occasion, they damaged the bike. Police sources denied the 'Bullet' issue is the primary reason for the attack. They claimed that Iyyasamy had teased one of the suspects, Atheeshwararan. They already had a quarrel between them. However the investigation is still on, police added. SIPCOT police booked a case against Vinothkumar, Atheeshwaran and Vallarasu under 296 (1), 126 (2), 118 (1), 351 (3) of BNS and 3(1)(r)(s) of SC/ST Act. They were arrested and later remanded in a prison. Iyyasamy is a third year UG mathematics student at a college in Sivaganga.. https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/tamil-nadu/2025/Feb/13/dalit-students-hands-hacked-by-caste-hindu-men-for-riding-a-bullet-in-tamil-nadus-sivaganga
