The appalling criminality that was going on in Tamil Nadu is well known. What is not widely known is that today's darling of the DMK, Dr. Jeyaranjan, had exposed it a few years ago.

Periyar's ideas were crude, silly and racist. It is no wonder that the Periyarist intellectuls too are crude, silly and racist and spectacularly dishonest. They ignore the fact that Periyar wanted to annihilate Brahmins and call him, falsely, an harbinger of social justice.

Indian democracy is a patient teacher, but it will tolerate arrogance only up to a point, as Modi has realized to his dismay. He had Indira Gandhi's example before him, but he has never been a good student of democracy, especially federal democracy, Indian style.

Jat-Muslim unity was on while agitation was at its peak, but now Jats might return to the BJP. In Punjab, BJP has nothing to lose and its strategy is to wean Sikhs away from Congress. The repeal will help implementing this strategy. Amrinder Singh should be very happy.

[P A Krishnan @PAKrishnan2020]

A part of me is happy the repeal of farm laws is a defeat for the BJP, another part is cautioning it will be foolish to underestimate Modi & co. The Western UP Jats are hardly pro-Muslim and in the last elections, more than 90% of them voted for the BJP.

No admirer of Surya cares to explain how he forgot Mrs. Parvathi until somebody reminded him of her existence.

இதுதான் பெரியாரின் சமத்துவத்தின், சமூகநீதியின் லட்சணம். அரையணா அறிஞர்கள் வெட்கம் கெட்டவர்கள். வாயை மூடிக் கொண்டு இருப்பார்கள்.

பெரியாரியரைகளை விட நகைக்கத்தக்க போலிகளைக் காண்பது அரிது. நேர்மையும் அறவுணர்வும் இல்லாத பிறவிகள். இது ஒரு போலிச் சோம்பேறியைப் பற்றியது:

Hindutva fanatics are cheap scoundrels. They are circulating a letter written by Nehru to the British Monarch and aver that 1947 was a sham. Until 1950 India was a dominion and technically its people were subjects of the King. Nehru had to follow the convetion of those times.

நான் நேருவியன் என்பதற்கு பெரியாரிய இனவெறிக் கழிவுகளை சுமந்து திரிந்து கொண்டிருக்கும் கோவேறு கழுதைகளிடமிருந்து எந்த நற்சான்றிதழும் தேவையில்லை. இவர்கள் அப்பட்டமான மனிதகுல விரோதிகள். இவர்கள் மீது எனக்கு எந்த மரியாதையும் இல்லை.

During his time he was among the few who epitomized all that was decent and civilized. As PM of India, he safely steered the ship of state through the perilous waters of a nascent democracy. He will remain the beacon for all those who long for a hate-free India.
Nehru forever!
