NEW | "Vegetarian-only mid-day meals are state-sponsored discrimination."

As West Bengal hands mid-day meal preparation in Kolkata to ISKCON, public health specialist Dr Sylvia Karpagam (@sakie339) explains why soya and paneer cannot replace eggs, and how caste and corporate interests now shape what children eat in schools.

நமது ஆங்கில புலமையை, மேட்டிமைத்தன்மையை குழந்தைகளிடம் காட்டித்தான், நம் பொறுப்பை நிலை நிறுத்திக் கொள்ள வேண்டும் என்று இல்லை. நீங்கள் எவ்வளவு அறிவில் சிறந்தவர் என்பதை குழந்தைகளிடம் பழகும் பாங்கில்தான் வெளிப்படுத்த முடியும்.

பள்ளிக்கு சென்றதும் கைகட்டி நிற்கும் குழந்தைகளை பார்த்தால், முதலில் சொல்ல வேண்டியது, யார் முன்னாலும் கை கட்டி நிற்காதீர்கள் என்பதை தான்.

கேட்பதற்கு கேள்விகள் இல்லையென்றால், எடுத்த எடுப்பில் குழந்தைகளின் பெற்றோர் குறித்து கேட்காதீர்கள். அப்பா என்ன செய்கிறார் என்ற கேள்விக்கு , அப்பா இல்லை என்பது பதிலாக இருந்தால், அதனை சொல்ல அந்த குழந்தை எவ்வளவு தயங்கும் என்பதை புரிந்துக் கொண்டு பள்ளிகளுக்கு செல்லுங்கள்.

உங்களின் நிர்வாகத் திறனை வெளிகாட்ட குழந்தைகளை பலி கொடுக்காதீர்கள்.

அமைச்சரின் செயலை கண்டிப்பவர்கள் தயவுகூர்ந்து அக்குழந்தையின் படத்தை பகிராதீர்கள்!

Does it not alarm anybody that we now have a government that can erase your exitence from the voters list, arrest and jail you on any random pretext, seize and auction off your property, erase your entire constitutional existence and it would be all within the realm of "law"?

'பக்ரீத் பண்டிகை' நாளுக்கு முன் 'ஆடு-கோழி-மாடு' பலியிடுதல் தடை குறித்து தீர்ப்பு.

'முஹர்ரம் நாளுக்கு' முன்பாக இசுலாமியர் இடஒதுக்கீடு ரத்து தீர்ப்பு. அதுவும் கல்லூரி சேர்க்கை நடக்கின்ற சமயத்தில் தீர்ப்பு கொடுக்கபப்ட்டுள்ளது.

கொடுத்தவர் மதுரை உயர்நீதிமன்ற நீதிபதி ஜி.ஆர்.சுவாமிநாதன்.

அப்பட்டமான முஸ்லீம் வெறுப்புணர்வும், சாடிஸ்ட் மனநிலை கொண்ட மனநோயாளிகளால் மட்டுமே இது போன்று அரசு அதிகாரத்தை தவறாக பயன்படுத்த இயலும்.
இதை சகித்துக் கொள்ளவும் இயலும்.

நீதிபதி என்பவர் கடவுளுக்கு நிகரானவரோ, தீர்ப்புகள் என்பது வேதவாக்குகளோ அல்ல. நீதிமன்றங்களின் மீது ஏழை-எளிய மக்கள் காறி-உமிழும் நாள் வெகுதொலைவில் இல்லை.

இதுகுறித்து முதலமைச்சர் விஜய், மற்றும் அமைச்சரவை என்ன நடவடிக்கை மேற்கொள்ளப் போகின்றனர்? எத்தனை நாள் இதுபோன்ற வழக்குகளில் மெத்தனம் காட்டி சனாதனத்திற்கு ஆதரவு நிலையை உருவாக்கப் போகின்றனர்?

The most disturbing thing that’s happening is people whose names have been cut off from voter lists are being cut off from all welfare schemes. It’s being done in Bengal and will be followed by BJP regimes in Hindi belt. It has serious ramifications for many poor families besides Muslims. It’s not a communal war but a class/caste issue at many levels. And it’s not a war to begin with when the state and actors backed by it target minorities and socially/economic sections of society. Please be aware that discrimination just climbed another notch.

[Saravanan @SrvaTweets]

Thiruvalluvar is not a hindu. You want to make him one so you can appropriate him to call hinduism great. sanatan is an Upper Caste ideology to oppress/exploit other castes. Thirukkural is for the humanity. Not a document prescribing how to oppress over others. It is anti-sanatan

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

It is such a fraudulent thing to claim that Tiruvalluvar is not Hindu. This attempt to deny our own spiritual heritage must be fought.

[thirumurugan gandhi @thiruja2009]

Mr.Ravi, you haven't learnt not even one Kural from his 1330 poems. You can't even understand a one minute Tamil speech. Yet, you have the audacity to tamper the very fabric of Thirukural. Its about equality, fraternity and democratic ruling, which your RSS couldn't and wouldn't inherit.
Thirukural is all against Sanatana System. Thiruvalluvar strongly condemns the very foundation if Sanatana philosophy. While Sanatana founded on discriminating people on four level hierarchical corrupt model, Thiruvalluvar stood tall to call all humans are equal.
Calling Thiruvalluvar as Sanatani is like calling Lord Ram as anti-Sanatani. Both are not true. Ram is not popular among Tamils since Tamils hate Sanatana system and fought against it.

[Saravanan @SrvaTweets]

This is a fraudulent message, a criminal misrepresentation of tamil history. Thiruvalluvar has no connection to sanatana, Brahmins have survived mainly through such shameless appropriation. If sanatan existed during his time, he would've challenged, written against & dismissed it

[Lok Bhavan, West Bengal @lokbhavan_wb]

On the auspicious occasion of Thiruvalluvar Jayanti Vaikasi Anusham, the Nation pays its deep reverence to Thiruvalluvar, the great Tamil saint-poet of the Bharatiya Sanatan tradition. Thiruvalluvar’s Thirukkural stands as an eternal confluence of Dharma and Niti, guiding righteous living, ethical governance, and the values that shape both individual conduct and collective life. His teachings continue to guide humanity, shaping the spiritual evolution of Bharat with global resonance.

Vedant Srivastava - 17 yrs old
Took to social media and exposed discrepancies in CBSE's OSM marking system.

Nisarga Adhikary- 19 yrs old
Hacked CBSE website and informed them (and us) that it is vulnerable and can be hacked.

Sarthak Sidhant- 17 yrs old
Exposed how CBSE bent rules to award the OSM tender to COEMPT.

These 3 kids need to be lauded. They have given us a glimmer of hope. They have shown us, not all is lost.

We still have a future to salvage.

[Sarthak Sidhant @sidhant_sarthak]

CBSE has systematically rewritten its rulebook to favor Coempt Eduteck.

I know many people my age who feel they have “wasted time” getting their humanities degree because their career is not directly related to it. A reminder that the notion that getting an education is only useful if it converts into profit is, in itself, a perverse capitalist idea.

[Sarayu Pani @sarayupani]

Whether they call us cockroaches or not is secondary. When 100 people die in a storm in UP and Vladimir Putin seems to care before the PM, it’s quite clear that this ruling class views all of us as cockroaches

Nirbhaya was sent to Singapore for treatment, her rapists were hanged

Manisha Valmiki’s body was burned using old tyres and scrap, in front of her parents.
Not a single person convicted for her rape & murder

That’s how much India had changed in just 8 years

[The Dalit Voice @ambedkariteIND]

#Horrific In Madhya Pradesh’s , a Dalit youth was tied to a pole and mercilessly tortured by Caste Hindu extremists. Such horrific caste violence exposes the brutal reality faced by Dalits in India, where oppression and inhumanity continue unabated.

[Abhijeet Dipke @abhijeet_dipke]

MK Stalin- 1.02 lakh votes deleted in Kolathur constituency, he lost by 8,795.

Mamata- 51,000 votes deleted in Bhabanipur seat, she lost by 15,000.

Kejriwal - 38,000 votes deleted in New Delhi constituency & he lost by 4,000. (2025)

Three prominent Chief Ministers of opposition were defeated by mass deletion of votes. If you still don’t see the pattern and believe they lost because of anti-incumbency then the joke is on you.

[All India OBC Students Association (AIOBCSA) @aiobcsa]

To the OBC youth of Tamil Nadu, a reminder of the contributions made by Thiru. M. K. Stalin sir: @mkstalin

(1) He consistently pressed the Union Government to implement OBC reservations in the All India Quota (AIQ) for NEET, enabling thousands of OBC students to pursue MBBS and MD/MS degrees every year.
(2) His advocacy for a caste census has inspired the INDIA alliance to take up the demand at the national level.
(3) At a time when much of the country implemented the Economically Weaker Sections reservation, which raises serious concerns regarding its rationale, Tamil Nadu has not implemented EWS, thereby safeguarding the rights of OBC communities.
(4) He is the first national leader who raised his voice for UGC Social Equity Regulations.
(5) He has actively raised the issue of implementing reservations in the higher judiciary, highlighting the need for greater social representation.
(6) Under his leadership, Tamil Nadu has seen renewed investment in public libraries and learning spaces, including the establishment of modern institutions such as the Kalaignar Centenary Library, creating accessible knowledge hubs for students from OBC and other marginalized backgrounds.
(7) He has consistently upheld and protected Tamil Nadu’s long-standing 69% reservation policy, ensuring broader social justice and representation for OBCs, SCs, and STs.
(8) He has taken steps to strengthen state autonomy in education and social justice policies, resisting central policies that may dilute reservation frameworks.
(9) Under his leadership, welfare schemes focusing on education, healthcare, and social security have strengthened OBC communities by improving overall human development indicators.
(10 ) He has encouraged inclusive governance by promoting representation of backward communities in administration and public institutions.

His emphasis on the social justice legacy of leaders like Periyar continues to shape policy direction in Tamil Nadu, keeping the discourse on equality and representation active. A big thanks for your support, sir.

[Who's that Oshawott!? @sai_balaguru]

If "அரசியல் நாகரிகம்" is a yardstick, MK Stalin outshines his peers and even Kalaignar by a mile. At Dr. Thiruma's birthday celebration in 2022, he openly admitted "He was elected as chief minister with the support of his alliance partners", a rare statement. ❤️💙🖤
