All made in China. Though everyone knows about it., with a 1.4 billion market, India should focus a lot on local manufacturing. Particularly TN.

On his first visit to India as Ceo of @amazon@ajassy walks me through the plan for the incremental $13 billion to be invested in India by 2030, this is in addition to the $35 billion committed last year. ‘Will be deployed for AWS’.
Blown away by the speed of quick-commerce, Amazon is now ready to play offence ‘will expand Amazon NOW to 300 cities’ and Take the playbook global. The force behind AWS, Jassy defends the jaw dropping $200 billion dollar capex ‘have to invest ahead of demand’

The DMK ecosystem is attacking me that the school issue I reported was a lie I concocted to help the TVK government. Let me state the facts.
We run two rural schools, both free NIOS schools under the Kalaivani Kalvi Maiyam umbrella, one in rural Tenkasi and the other in rural Theni.
The Theni school was originally started and run by a retired IPS officer, a honest and upright man. He built very nice facilities but had to shut down his CBSE school because the state government demanded too much money to issue the NOC. He told me that as a honest retired officer he did not have the money to pay and they would not issue the NOC otherwise.
He urged us to take over his trust so we could run our free NIOS school in the premises. That is how we started our NIOS school in Theni.
Unlike in Tenkasi, where I live, the Theni school faced occasional harassment from the DMK government because we did not have a state government registration, so we tried getting state government approval again (this time for the state board) and that of course would also cost money. So it was in a limbo.
Meanwhile in Tenkasi we wanted to build new school facilities (we were operating in make-shift facilities, the ones that came in frequent photos) and we applied for DTCP approval to construct the new buildings. Everyone who knows DTCP in our state knows what kind of corruption happened there under the DMK.
We waited patiently for DTCP approval for the new school buildings but the approval never came as long as the DMK was in power. The approval came automatically once the government changed.
It is this DTCP approval that I posted about in X. I want to once again appreciate the refreshing change.
Not only did the approvals come, government people told us not to pay money to anyone for any approvals. I have to appreciate this in public, having endured what we had endured before.
This is the "lie" that DMK wants to attack me on.
I do not need their certificate on my character.
They can examine their conscience and ask why a technology nerd like me who is mostly immersed in code would post these.
If they think I would back down by their vile personal attacks because I am a Brahmin or TVK Stooge or Sanghi or whatever, I will tell them this: unlike you dynasts I grew up with nothing. I studied in Tamil medium schools. I know how to live on nothing. I have dedicated the remainder of my life to make Bharat self reliant in technology while reviving our rural areas, the soul of our eternal sanatana civilization.
I will not be intimidated by their attacks. I am unafraid of death, why would I be afraid of the mere DMK?
And if they had any conscience they can return the money they looted (they know there they keep it) and then they can attack my character.
I will now go back to optimizing the code of our compiler!
Today is the martyrdom day of Sivaganga King Muthu Vaduganatha Thevar, husband of Velu Nachiyar.
He was among the earliest kings of Tamilakam to challenge British authority. He strongly resisted their attempts to force the Palayams into paying tribute and to gradually usurp the samasthanams.
He defeated the British in their attempt to capture Madurai, inviting the ire of the British Governor. They later launched another attack against him with the help of the traitor Yusuf Khan, aka Marudha Nayagam. Muthu Vaduganatha Thevar defeated him too and drove him out.
The British then offered a ceasefire, which Muthu Vaduganatha Thevar accepted in good faith. With the ceasefire in effect, he went unarmed to Kalayar Kovil for darshan. It was then that the British forces launched a surprise attack. Muthu Vaduganatha Thevar and his second wife, Gowri Nachiyar were shot dead by Captain Abraham Bonjour.
But the flame of resistance did not die. It was carried forward by Queen Velu Nachiyar, who would go on to become one of the earliest and fiercest voices of Bharath’s freedom struggle.
Today we pay our humble tributes to one of the greatest women warriors produced by Bharath, Rani Durgavati, on her Balidan Diwas.
After the death of her husband, she assumed the responsibility of ruling Gondwana and protecting the interests of her young son. A courageous ruler and able administrator, she defended her kingdom against repeated invasions and refused to submit to Mughal expansion.
When many advised her to seek peace and surrender, she chose honour over submission. She is remembered for her resolute words:
“It is better to die with glory than to live with ignominy. Either I shall die or I shall conquer. I have served my motherland for a long time, and at a time like this, I will not allow it to be dishonoured.”
On 24 June 1564, while fighting valiantly against the Mughal forces led by Asaf Khan, she was grievously wounded. Rather than be captured, she chose martyrdom over surrender, immortalising herself in the annals of Indian history.
Apart from her military achievements, Rani Durgavati was also a patron of public welfare, commissioning lakes and irrigation works that benefited her people.

@svembu@Sastha93883062 Sir, @svembu , why don't we start a crowd fund like facility, where we can all contribute and provide assistance to those kinds of people.
Great news from Madurai Bench of Madras High Court !!!
I had challenged the Government Order No. 321 dated 26.12.2022 passed by the anti-Temple DMK Government authorizing the @tnhrcedept to Department to acquire 58.76 acres around Sri Dhandayuthapni Swamy Temple, in Pazhani - in the name of the Department - using Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Administration Fund - contributed by temples across Tamil Nadu.
Today the matter came for final hearing before Hon'ble Justice Shri G.R. Swaminathan and Hon'ble Justice Shrimati R. Poornima
Government fairly conceded that the properties would be now bought using Pazhani Temple Funds and in the name of Pazhani temple and only a formal approval is pending from Government.
My counsel Shri @niranjanlaw law submitted that earlier Supreme Court of India had allowed such purchase of adjoining lands in the name of the Deity in the Banke Bihari Temple case.
Their Lordships recorded the submissions of the Government that the property would be in the name of Pazhani Devasthanam and further observed that the Administration fund can be used only as provided under Sections 92 and 96 of the TN HR&CE Act, 1959. This observation by their Lordships is very important.
My gratitude to Shri Joseph Vijay @CMOTamilnadu and Shri @RameshOffcl - HR&CE Minister - for the change in the approach - starkly different from the DMK anti-temple stand.
A positive Government working towards Temple welfare.
Vetrivel Muruha !!!
Elephants, gaurs, deer and countless other species are returning to areas once overrun by invasive plants as the TN Forest Department, GOTN continues one of India’s largest ecosystem restoration efforts. More than 40,000 hectares of Forests have been restored, including nearly 31,000 hectares cleared of lantana. The true measure of success, however, is not the number of hectares cleared but the return of life. Landscapes once choked by invasive species are witnessing the revival of native habitats, with large mammals and ground-nesting birds reclaiming these restored spaces. The removed biomass is converted into briquettes. Around 120 MT of briquettes have been supplied to local tea factories creating a circular climate solution This pioneering initiative advances two global goals simultaneously: biodiversity recovery through ecosystem restoration and climate action through sustainable carbon management. Kudos all the DFOs, DDs and frontline Staff who are behind this initiative. Video DD MTR Thiru Ganeshan #TNForest #Generationrestoration
