BJP and National Media are giving exactly what DMK want.

Regional parties are actually harmful for the country.

They are extremely myopic, power hungry and self obsessed that they are ready to sacrifice things of the greater good for their short term gains.

 

Though, sad part is one of our National Party is also working against the nation. Wherever it comes in power, situation deteriorates.

It is the BJP and Congress  that introduced MNREGA/Ladli Behna/OROP and other revdi's.

Revdi's exist prior to that..

HAJ Subsidy is also a form of revdi. To garner votes. No Subsidy for Amarnath Yatra or Mahakumbh.

 

As long as Revdi helps in genuinely uplifting the financial situation of lowest class of society. Its not a bad thing actually. 

 

But free electricity, free bus services for women etc etc are much more harmful for the economy.

OROP was a demand by military personnel. Not a revdi. Free electricity, water, ladli bhatija, free ration, etc are revdis

Classic diversion tactic, huge TASMAC (liquor monopoly by state govt) scam getting buried. Don't call DMK dumb, they are smart, always a step ahead of the rest in TN, Karunanidhi and Maran families are what you call evil genius. I am no fan of them, but they know very well how politics is played in India. 

 

BJP arrogantly and foolishly took down AIADMK, the only legit counterbalance to DMK/DK. Similar blunder in Punjab with Akalis. Ab bhugato. 

DMK and AAP have very similar tactics blame opposition and divert. Lucky for DMK the gullible people of TN voted for them. AIADMK loosing Jayalalitha is a big blow no opposition for DMK now in the state.

Bjp cannot compromise its own growth at behest of admk or akali. 

 

Blunt truth, in bjp interest admk dont come to power. Eps will have to step down. True bjp target is admk not dmk.

Why does BJP have to be hero everywhere? Why can't they be supporting cast in some states for the greater good? 

 

SAD, SS, AIADMK, BJD have never been ideological enemies of BJP. In fact former three supported BJP during some tough times, right from RJB movement. Yet BJP didn't want to take them along once they had upsurge (at least SAD and AIADMK). This cutting of ties has only benefitted AAP/INC in Punjab and DMK in TN. 

 

Amma was the first national leader to welcome Modi to national fold in 2007 or 08 when he was a political pariah and even shunned by NDA folks. She was pro Ayodhya temple, pro UCC, was against special status to Kashmir, on the same page as BJP on every sensitive issue. What did BJP do when she passed away? Preyed on internal weakness/division in AIADMK, made them the enemy at par with DMK. There is someone sitting above us all noticing everything, karma will eventually restore balance. Attacking you steadfast allies when they are at their weakest is the lowest of all lows, adharma. 

 

AIADMK was the perfect antidote to DMK. A nationalist centre right party which could work well in tandem with BJP even if not part of NDA (like BJD before), sure few differences may still have come up but nothing unsolvable. Now you have given DMK free run for the next 30 years, is it good for the country?

₹ is not Hinthi , mutthal makkal, it is Devanagari- which is used to write many languages of India , Sanskrit being foremost 

Tamil is the least Sanskritized language in India, that is the crux of the issue. In fact some Sanskrit influence has crept up in Indian Tamil of late but Sri Lankan Tamils have their own shlokas and rituals free from Sanskrit, language preserved in its purest form. Malayalam has heavy Sanskrit influence, not even going to the rest.  

 

Making a Tamil person learn Hindi is like making you learn Mandarin.

not sure what you guessed, but tamil to me is just a language I speak. I see myself as Indian who speak it.

I was just trying to be  funny. Not a serious remark. You are a rarity that way to put nation before language. Kudos

I too got swept away by the Annamalai hype/hysteria (educated, seemingly intelligent politicians a rarity in India, that's why many of us were also enamored by Kejri when he first came in) but now think he is a political noob. He is destined to be a loser and money drainer for BJP. Should have remained in IPS. 

 

Before him, BJP never had such enmity with AIADMK. There was always a mutual understanding between them against DMK gang. 

 

Or is he a Trojan horse sent by DMK? Only time will tell. But 2026 is a gone case, DMK crooks will win by a record margin despite their shoddy track record in governance. Even Joseph Vijay won't do much.

Don’t go Modi on Tamil. I know how much sanskritized is Tamil. Every language of India has been under the influence of Sanskrit or Prakrit which were laid bol before regional languages came popular, don’t go by what Modi says that Tamil is the oldest language. I’d say about 20-30% of Tamil is Sanskritized. For the sake of it, people are inventing new words parallel to sanskritzed words just to be contrarian without any scholarly basis. The same Dravidian movement has also started in Kannada . Ellara Kannada imovement is doing the same to Kannada . That we are different identity. Union of states mumbo jumbo. Listen to a real Tamizh scholar

I mean even in Canada in Quebec - there is hardly any English. It is all French. As it should be...... Try to speak French - even broken or with an accent or with errors. As long as you try to speak French, the Quebecois will appreciate it.

 

So why not Tamil forever and ever  in Tamil Nadu? It is, it should be and it will be. Respect to the people of the great state of Tamil Nadu.

 

Now Maharashtra .... please learn from Tamil Nadu.

Quebec used to be French only, went there last summer. Sab jagah English hi English chalra bhai. Economic conditions in Kaneda has opened their minds . They embrace anybody investing on them. This kind of closed minds with only hurt Tamizhs. They can’t find any jobs outside of TN . MH is the largest economic engine of India by opening their minds and borders for all people. It’s not like there are no Marathi speaking there, language is flourishing in its speakers when they get rich

False. It is getting more strict. I can quote anecdotes too - here are legal facts about Bill 96 from 2022. People want even stricter laws!!!

 

Business Doubts
Perhaps the most dramatic effect of Bill 96 will be its impact on businesses in Québec. Every company with 25 workers or more must now transact in French or face the wrath of the language enforcement police.

In Montréal, a major business hub in North America, those doing transnational trade, especially with the US, say the law is so damaging that it may force them to relocate their offices from Québec. Any French speaker in Québec who sees prices, say at a KFC restaurant, written in English has a right to sue such a business for thousands of dollars for “violation of his/her rights,” says the bill.

Just now a nephew of ours from Mumbai had to go and work in Chennai. Give it a rest. The great state of TN will be fine. Maybe some people need to focus on their own states and create job opportunities there for the locals. You know who I am speaking about. The south was fine, is fine and will be fine.
