It’s not perception. Let me spit some hard truths that are mostly perceptions but that have almost become hard wired in Brahmins’ minds. I’m sure I’ll be bashed on all fronts for this including Brahmins and DMK. And others, of course, simply because.

Brahmins in TN carry the weight of DMK hatred on Brahmins. Brahmins look upon themselves as the most devout Hindus (though every Hindu caste, varna may think so too).

The Brahmin hatred angle:
DMK’s Brahmin hatred has seen itself go from threatening to pluck people’s poonool to shave off their tufts to creators of popular culture echoing Brahmin hatred in their films, plays, novels to non-representation in assembly to erasure of contribution to society, art, literature, culture, to conscious sidelining of Brahmins in politics to verbal attacks to no offerings to them in any government related schemes. This has been copied and carried out by the ADMK, the only redeeming factor of the ADMK being JJ herself was Brahmin. (I’m not justifying either stand - Brahmins’ perceived and real victimisation (as the case may be), or Dravidian perceived or real hatred for them (as the case may be).

The Hindu hatred angle:
According to Brahmins, a Christian in DMK is able to be a practising Christian, a Muslim a practising Muslim but a Hindu is required to be either non-religious or openly secular. Not wishing for Hindu festivals, not recognising April 14 as Tamil New Year (jury’s still out on this), etc may look like small things but go deep in solidifying perceptions among people.
In short, Brahmins have long felt like they are consistently short changed in their own land. (I’m still speaking of victimhood and intent and not getting into discussions of whether Brahmin hatred is justified or not, historical context, Santana dharma, varna system, etc. I’m simply talking about what today’s Brahmins feel about DMK).

Yesterday I was going through some insta stories of people who I know for a fact to be Brahmin. They are all voting for BJP, ADMK, TVK and NTK because of the following reasons:

1. BJP obvious choice since they uphold sanatana dharma, legitimise caste consciousness. NOT because of representation in govt since for the last few years since Annamalai’s entry, BJP backing Brahmins have finally realised that BJP serves the Hindu OBC people only. (Again I’m neither saying this is good or bad. Just observing).

2. ADMK because they’ve allied with BJP and current ADMK’s hatred of Brahmins has diluted to a large extent and they’re not nearly as vehemently opposing of any group of people as the DMK.

3. TVK because DMK hatred, AND the fact that TVK has fielded Brahmin candidates in this election. Vijay himself may have mocked Brahmin figures in his movies but that may pale in comparison to DMK’s own treatment of Brahmins over the years.

4. NTK because Seeman has been openly supportive of Brahmins and has fielded Brahmin candidates.

Brahmins are a micro-minority in society yet wield a lot of influence. The reason why they have (at least in TN) not fought for nor received electoral representation is because

a) Dravidian ideology identified Brahmin hegemony (real or perceived) early on and took it upon itself to make Brahmins irrelevant in public life

b) Brahmins themselves are not hard wired to fight for their (justified or non-justified) rights. Especially if pitted against a verbally abusive group, most Brahmins might silently walk away rather than going head on. They try to avoid conflict and as a group, are more interested in their own survival and upward mobility rather than public service of any kind. Service minded Brahmins in philanthropy, in NGO’s, in private welfare organisations do well because of lack of in-fighting in these spaces.

I support DMK ideologically yet I know for a fact that I will never be able to get near the seats of power. My use to them will be limited to what I can do to them using my real or perceived influence in whatever walk of life I’m in. (1/2)

Jensen Huang said if he were a student today, he wouldn’t prioritize coding. He’d prioritize learning how to talk to AI.

Most people treat AI like Google. Type a question, get an answer, move on. Huang sees it differently. He calls it “expertise in artistry,” which sounds dramatic but makes sense when you think about it.

The real skill isn’t using AI. It’s knowing what to ask for and how to refine it. “Learning to interact with AI is not unlike being really good at asking questions.”

If you’re a doctor, can you use AI to catch diagnoses you’d miss? If you’re a lawyer, can you sharpen arguments faster than your competition? The leverage comes from pairing what you know with how well you can direct the tool.

Domain expertise multiplied by AI fluency equals amplification. Without the expertise, the AI is just noise. Without fluency, you’re leaving most of the capability on the table.

The question isn’t whether AI will replace you. It’s whether someone who knows how to use it better will.

It's a weird time. I am filled with wonder and also a profound sadness.

I spent a lot of time over the weekend writing code with Claude. And it was very clear that we will never ever write code by hand again. It doesn't make any sense to do so.

Something I was very good at is now free and abundant. I am happy...but disoriented.

At the same time, something I spent my early career building (social networks) was being created by lobster-agents. It's all a bit silly...but if you zoom out, it's kind of indistinguishable from humans on the larger internet.

So both the form and function of my early career are now produced by AI.

I am happy but also sad and confused.

If anything, this whole period is showing me what it is like to be human again.

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M. K. Stalin has taken a clear, bold, and principled stand in condemning in the strongest terms the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC)’s anti-democratic act of blocking the release of Vijay’s movie, “Jana Nayakan.” This despite the actor and TVK leader and his minions attacking the ruling party, the DMK, day in and day out. Chief Minister Stalin has also placed the latest assault on free speech in broader political context by pointing out that alongside the Central Bureau of Investigation, the Enforcement Directorate, and the Income Tax Department, “the Censor Board has become a new weapon of the BJP Union government.”

For many Indians, personal transport reflects aspiration and everyday progress.

In my first Unstarred Question in the Rajya Sabha, I sought clarity on ethanol-blended fuels, its impact on vehicles, the withdrawal of E10 petrol, and consumer safeguards.

These issues were addressed by the Hon. Minister of Road Transport & Highways @nitin_gadkari. The transition must remain informed, fair, and consumer-conscious.

For India, long-term energy security is a strategic national priority.

In my Unstarred Question in the Rajya Sabha, I sought clarity on the roadmap to scale nuclear capacity to 100 GW by 2047, timelines for thorium-based reactors, and community engagement around projects like Kalpakkam.

These issues were addressed by the Hon. Minister of State in the Prime Minister’s Office @DrJitendraSingh. Advancing thorium-based nuclear energy is vital for India’s energy independence, reducing crude oil imports, and securing a cleaner path to our nation’s development.
