Umar Khalid’s brilliant PhD thesis has just been published as a book. It is a rigorously researched and richly readable history of Adivasis in Chotanagpur. May his cruel incarceration end soon, and Dr Khalid write more fine works of historical scholarship.

Nagercoil Corporation DMK councillor Ramakrishnan allegedly misused ESI benefits, worth Rs 28.7 lakh, meant for sanitation workers of his firm.
In a recent letter to the Mayor and Commissioner, the Tirunelveli Sub-Regional Office of Employees’ State Insurance Corporation said KS Ramakrishnan failed to pay the dues despite repeated notices and opportunities.
According to ESIC, the ‘Osai Sutru Soolal’ men’s self-help group, linked to his family and involved in municipal contract works, owes Rs 28,71,926 towards employer contribution under the Code on Social Security, 2020.
The Corporation has been requested to assist in recovering the amount as per statutory provisions. Efforts to reach Ramakrishnan for comment were unsuccessful.
River Thamirabarani in Tirunelveli now. The situation remains same for over 2 decades. In Tirunelveli Corporation alone, large volumes of untreated sewage are discharged into river at more than 15 locations.
During my election coverage over the past month, only few raised the issue of cleaning Thamirabarani.

தமிழக வாக்காளர்கள் அனைவருக்கும் வணக்கம்!
ஏப்ரல் 23.
தமிழகத்தின் ஜனநாயகத் திருவிழா நாள்.
எல்லோரும் சீக்கிரமாகவே எழுந்து தயாராகி,
காலை 7மணியில் இருந்து
12மணிக்குள்,நமக்குரிய வாக்குச்சாவடிக்குச் சென்று நமது வாக்கினைப் பதிவு செய்திட வேண்டும்.
குறிப்பாக,முதியவர்களும்,
பெண்களும் வெயிலுக்கு முன்பாகவே தங்கள் வாக்கினைப் பதிவு செய்துவிடுவது நல்லது.
மேலும்,வாக்காளர்கள் அனைவரும் மதியத்திற்குள் தங்களது வாக்கினைப் பதிவு செய்துவிட்டால் வெயிலின் தாக்கத்தில் இருந்து தற்காத்துகொள்ளலாம்.
எனவே, ஒருவர் விடாமல், ஒரு வாக்குகூட விடுபடாமல் ‘நம் வாக்கு - நம் உரிமை’ என்பதை உறுதி செய்ய, 100% விழிப்புணர்வுடன் இருக்கவே இந்த வேண்டுகோள்.
100% வாக்குப் பதிவினை உறுதி செய்வதை லட்சியமாகக் கொண்டு வாக்களிப்போம்.
ஜனநாயகம் காப்போம்.
Spoke to him directly about his controversial remarks. He stood by his comments.
Full conversation will be released shortly on @abpnadu
It is surprising and raises many questions about how he served as an advisor to Abdul Kalam

Based on this clip - Mr S Ve Shekhar seems to ask why the Vilathikulam, Thoothukudi brutal rape and murder victim went behind shrubs in a forest area - the cops cant come there and shine a light everywhere.
The girl reportedly went to relieve herself - something people without access to toilets and bathrooms do.
Young girls and women being sexually assaulted while they go to relieve themselves is routine in India - something men who can just unzip and pee as and when they want wherever they want safely without fear for the physical injury, will never understand.
Four-year-old Siva Yazhini is no more. Her family has received her body. If the prosecution is strong, the drunken car owner who killed her could get 10-year jail-term (culpable homicide not amounting to murder). I hv heard, in some countries, drunk driving killings are treated as murder in rare cases.
குடிகாரர்களால் பள்ளிக்குள்ளேயே கொல்லப்பட்ட குழந்தை: Villagers of the KG girl, who was run over by a car driven by a drunken driver inside her private school premises, continue to block the Tenkasi-Madurai national highway for 2nd day. Two persons inside car were intoxicated. Both have been arrested by Tenkasi police.
Nine policemen convicted. What about government doctor & Judicial Magistrate? NO accountability for the Health Department & judiciary?
//A “fit for remand” certificate was obtained from a doctor despite their severe injuries, and their blood-stained clothes were discarded in a dustbin at the Sathankulam Government Hospital.
Jeyaraj and Benniks were reportedly limping and unable to sit properly when produced before the medical officer, and were later remanded by a Judicial Magistrate//
Grateful to be featured in @dinathanthi.
I had the opportunity to share my journey in @TVKVijayHQ and the work we are doing for the people in our constituency.
This recognition strengthens my commitment to serve with dedication and integrity.

This is @RahulGandhi with his niece who is currently being slandered by @PMOIndia IT CELL OFF SHOOTS a disgusting fashion. Spare her. Don’t do to her what you’ve already done to Nehru & his sister Vijaylaxmi Pandit
DMK's unfulfilled promises:
With the Assembly elections fast approaching, the DMK government’s unfulfilled promises are beginning to unsettle its allies. During Chief Minister M K Stalin’s recent visit to Tenkasi, Congress MLA Palani Nadar appeared visibly upset on stage. Speaking to reporters later, he said, “The Chief Minister had promised to implement the Rettaikulam Kalvai scheme during the 2021 election campaign in Alangulam, but it remains unfulfilled. I now fear seeking votes from the people. Farmers scold me, saying we lied to them and conspired to deceive everyone. I am deeply hurt — that is why I chose to speak to the media,” he said.
