My colleague and I asked questions tonight both on why we should trust India given the human violations rights, and also about the visit.
I tried multiple times to get them to be specific on human rights, but I was unsuccessful. The representatives talked about India’s effort during Covid & also yoga, among other things. My colleague has the videos so I will try to publish tomorrow.
Vengaivayal residents boycotted the elections, raising black flags at the village entrance in protest. From the #DMK alliance to the newly formed #TVK, they alleged that no party approached them for votes or even campaigned in the village. Residents said their demand remains unchanged justice for the Vengaivayal incident.

@iamdatemike@raasa_kannu It's very simple,u expect ur houses to burn if someone else comes to power.While I say,my house is already burning.The existing party is already standing with majoritarianism in terms of caste.Just that their politics doesn't have the majoritarian voice to dissent. I call for it.
India isn’t dirty because people can’t clean, or lack civic sense. India is dirty because people genuinely believe it’s not their job. That belief comes from caste.
And that belief is not accidental. It comes straight from caste conditioning drilled into people for generations.
Caste in India was never just about hierarchy. It was about assigning work. And cleaning got pushed to the bottom. So now even today, people carry that same mindset without even realizing it. I am not the one who cleans.
You go to a park, people will eat, throw garbage, walk away. Not because they’re unaware. Their brain literally doesn’t even register that they should pick it up. Why. Because somewhere deep inside, they think cleaning is a ‘lower’ person’s job.
Same everywhere - Hill stations, rivers, tourist spots. Trash it and leave. Not laziness. Conditioning.
Compare this with somewhere like Singapore - You eat at a place, people clean their own table. They carry tissues, wipe it, and throw garbage properly. Why? Because they don’t think it’s someone else’s job.
Even Sri Lanka feels cleaner than India!
And then we pretend it’s a Swachh Bharat problem. You can run a hundred Swachh Bharat campaigns. Put dustbins every ten steps. Nothing changes. Because the problem is not infrastructure. It’s identity.

People like us sitting in comfort love debating “freebies.”
Today I saw two elderly women, exhausted after a day of hard labour, sitting on the roadside waiting for the free bus.
That scheme isn’t for your opinions. It’s for them.
If girls are not even safe inside the college campus, it raises serious questions on the law & order in TN. In the news, daily we can see so many cases of rapes & murders. DMK govt must take action & must take steps to prevent & reduce crimes.
Yuvan himself saying this song is underrated.
Lyrics are beautifully written by @lyricistkaruna
Song starts with செத்து போச்சு மனசு and ends with hopeful lyrics like
குடைகளை கண்டு மழையும், வானில் நிற்காதே...
தடைகளை கண்டு வாழ்க்கை, பாதியில் முடியாதே...
மெல்ல துடிக்கும் மனசு...
"Why are you against quick commerce?"
Because this guy just worked 14 hours for Rs. 762. Rs.55/hour. Why do you get one bar of chocolate delivered at 2 am for basically nothing? Because there are a billion people in this country and their labor can be easily exploited.
