The Soviet Union collapsed abruptly in 1990. It was a super power that looked strong until then. The collapse was so abrupt, it was not anticipated even by the United States, the major ideological and super power adversary of the Soviets.
The Soviet system was built on deceit and lies. It had gone on for so long, their own senior leaders deluded themselves. The "revolutionary" leaders lived in extreme luxury and were cut off from the masses they were supposed to represent. They had successfully jailed all dissidents so there was no one left to tell them the truth.
This kind of thing can happen to any large organization, business or political. The worst lie is the lie we tell ourselves, when we start to believe in that lie.
Collapse is the collapse of the lie and since we believed in it ourselves, we are at a total loss of comprehension.
I am sure there is absolutely no resemblance to the ideological collapse we witnessed in contemporary Tamil Nadu. Purely my imagination, I assure you.
Congratulations @JanmabhoomiGrp 92nd anniversary.

Dharma in Sanskrit is known as Dharam in Hindu and Aram in Tamil.
I know you dislike the fact that Tamil has any link to Sanskrit but your very name, Saravanan is Śaravaṇa (शरवण) meaning "reed forest" in Sanskrit and it would be pronounced Shravan in Hindi.
The word Dravida is also Sanskrit and through Bengali, it is present in our National Anthem.
Yet, your entire movement has tried to erase the deep cultural, spiritual and linguistic bonds that tie Tamilagam and Bharatam together. Tamil Nadu is Bharat.
தமிழ்த்தாயும் பாரத மாதாவும் ஒன்றே!
Bharat Mata ki Jai 🙏

Dr. A. Sakthivel, Chairman, Apparel Export Promotion Council (AEPC), met Shri @sanjaymalhot , Governor of the Reserve Bank of India, along with senior RBI officials in Mumbai on 16 February 2026 to discuss key issues concerning apparel exporters, particularly MSMEs. During the meeting, he advocated for a dedicated export policy tailored specifically for the MSME sector and proposed the introduction of a Special Interest Package Scheme to support their growth and competitiveness.
Highlighting the significance of the engagement, Dr. Sakthivel noted that India has signed FTAs with 37 countries, creating unprecedented opportunities for the textile and apparel sector. He emphasised that the coming decade presents a strategic window to leverage India’s inherent strengths and accelerate export growth.
In his representation, he pointed out that a large number of apparel exporters — predominantly MSMEs — continue to face operational and regulatory challenges, especially in their interactions with banks, export finance systems, and compliance frameworks. To address export finance constraints, the AEPC Chairman requested an increase in the Interest Equalisation Scheme from the existing 2.75% to 5% for manufacturing exporters. He also urged the RBI to consider removing the current cap of ₹50 lakh and to enhance eligibility limits under the scheme in a graded manner based on turnover and export performance.
Dr. Sakthivel submitted a detailed representation outlining these recommendations and other policy suggestions for the RBI’s consideration.
