Leading a CBSE school for close to 10 years has shown me just how painful it can be to deal with the government machinery.
There are days when you come very close to giving up; not because running a school is difficult, but because you're exhausted from constantly having to give. Even greed should have a ceiling. There has to be a point where they should just live & let live.
Every approval (fire, safety, kitchen, hostel, or any other clearance) seems to come with an expectation of money. Every government meeting happening in the proximity of our school, we are not requested but demanded to provide money, school vans, staff, and other resources.
An example: the FIDE Chess Olympiad in Chennai in 2022. We were instructed to provide a couple of our school vans for advertisement. Huge posters featuring our Chief Minister and the Chess Olympiad branding were put up on our SCHOOL vehicles. A month after the event, when we requested that they be removed, we were told either to leave them as they were or remove them at our own expense (which was not cheap).
What disturbed me even more was hearing government officials openly say that corruption has always existed in TN, but under the current government, they no longer have to hide it or fear getting caught. Those words came from their own mouths.
I'm neither for nor against any political party. But when you endure one blow after another for years, it's only natural to feel relieved, and even celebrate, when the wind changes direction & you finally sense the possibility of a fresh breeze.
The DMK ecosystem is attacking me that the school issue I reported was a lie I concocted to help the TVK government. Let me state the facts.
We run two rural schools, both free NIOS schools under the Kalaivani Kalvi Maiyam umbrella, one in rural Tenkasi and the other in rural Theni.
The Theni school was originally started and run by a retired IPS officer, a honest and upright man. He built very nice facilities but had to shut down his CBSE school because the state government demanded too much money to issue the NOC. He told me that as a honest retired officer he did not have the money to pay and they would not issue the NOC otherwise.
He urged us to take over his trust so we could run our free NIOS school in the premises. That is how we started our NIOS school in Theni.
Unlike in Tenkasi, where I live, the Theni school faced occasional harassment from the DMK government because we did not have a state government registration, so we tried getting state government approval again (this time for the state board) and that of course would also cost money. So it was in a limbo.
Meanwhile in Tenkasi we wanted to build new school facilities (we were operating in make-shift facilities, the ones that came in frequent photos) and we applied for DTCP approval to construct the new buildings. Everyone who knows DTCP in our state knows what kind of corruption happened there under the DMK.
We waited patiently for DTCP approval for the new school buildings but the approval never came as long as the DMK was in power. The approval came automatically once the government changed.
It is this DTCP approval that I posted about in X. I want to once again appreciate the refreshing change.
Not only did the approvals come, government people told us not to pay money to anyone for any approvals. I have to appreciate this in public, having endured what we had endured before.
This is the "lie" that DMK wants to attack me on.
I do not need their certificate on my character.
They can examine their conscience and ask why a technology nerd like me who is mostly immersed in code would post these.
If they think I would back down by their vile personal attacks because I am a Brahmin or TVK Stooge or Sanghi or whatever, I will tell them this: unlike you dynasts I grew up with nothing. I studied in Tamil medium schools. I know how to live on nothing. I have dedicated the remainder of my life to make Bharat self reliant in technology while reviving our rural areas, the soul of our eternal sanatana civilization.
I will not be intimidated by their attacks. I am unafraid of death, why would I be afraid of the mere DMK?
And if they had any conscience they can return the money they looted (they know there they keep it) and then they can attack my character.
I will now go back to optimizing the code of our compiler!
Widening the Chicken's Neck
When the first Indian ambassador to Russia met Stalin in the 1950s, the Soviet Supremo pointed to the map and asked him what that small tear drop shaped island near India's southeastern coast was. The ambassador replied it was Sri Lanka. Stalin asked if it was part of India. When the ambassador said Sri Lanka was an independent country, Stalin asked him: "Why is it independent?"
Stalin had always secured Russia's interests by forcing neighbouring countries to cede valuable territory. For instance, to punish Finland for collaborating with Nazi Germany, Finland had to yield its mineral rich northern areas to Russia. Stalin took Konigsberg from Germany and renamed it Kaliningrad. So he was surprised that India had not swallowed up a strategic island like Lanka. Had he known about PoK, he would have been aghast that India did not retake it despite defeating the invader.
Chicken's Neck, or the Siliguri Corridor, is a narrow, 20–22 km wide, and 60 km long strip of land in Bengal. When Pakistan invaded and occupied 2/3 of J&K, any sane country would have used that opportunity to expand this Corridor, expel the population and resettle it with Indians.
But Nehru was not only anti-Hindu but also had zero idea of geopolitics and so he refused to link Kashmir to other disputes, saying the Kashmir dispute should remain local.
Later, secular parties like the Congress, Communists and Mamata Banerjee's TMC settled the Siliguri Corridor with illegal Bangladeshis, creating a security nightmare for India. Especially because the Corridor is the sole land bridge connecting India's 8 northeastern states to the rest of the country.
One of the first tasks of the BJP Govt in Bengal should be to evict all the illegals without delay. It should then expand the corridor. Bangladesh is stolen Indian land and India has the absolute right to retake it if security is threatened. The land was given to Indian Muslims in good faith, that they would finally maintain harmony with India after getting their own country. But instead Bangladesh has always remained antagonistic to India. So yes, redrawing the boundaries is justified and urgently required.
Assam Police @assampolice raided the home of a 5-time Namazi and stood speechless.
Temple bells. Tridents (Trishul). Sacred Sharai from Gosai Ghars. Crores worth of stolen bronze articles stuffed in sacks. Hamid Ali & Azhar Uddin’s house was not a home - it was a warehouse of looted Hindu faith.
Watch the radical Smuggler’s drama, shouting he is doing genuine business, paying 5 lakh monthly GST, and how his 3-4 wife and Hijabi gang resisted the arrest.
@_YogendraYadav Yogendra Yadav is talking about elections,democracy,voting rights on a channel from Qatar.
Any way when was elections held in Qatar last time ?
😁😁
Vijay’s personal fortune is 640 crores & promises total 4.5 lakh crores per year. She believes he will give this money out of his pocket. She is a product of Tamil Nadu’s “high human development”. Imagine an illiterate UP wallah has more sense than this “certificate holder”.
@ndtv@jsamdaniel@KasthuriShankar@ShivAroor TN crazy people voted for tVK MLAs whom they don’t even know or has done any social work. On the other front, DMK+ADMK MLAs are elected knowing they are corrupts and don’t do any good work other than putting their seals on Modi’s development plans. All useless only
I don’t know what exactly it is that Gautam Khattar said, but here is what Xavier had to say about Hindus in HIS own words! Screen shots are from his letters, available on https://t.co/hY0AvD0vjb. Anyone can access it and see for themselves! Cc @DrPramodPSawant
What’s going on ?
-Are Hindus persecuted in their own country for even telling a historical truth ?
-Culture attacked!
-Festivities ridiculed!
-Sc/st act jailhood !
-Freedom of speech none perhaps!
-Conversion mafia fully operational from Punjab to kerala and Maharashtra to North East!
-Ghar wapasi an evil Hindu act to deny freedom of religion!
-Stalin, Owaisi and his clan incl Congress’s Khadge says death to Sanatan !
-Every political leader bends backwards to attend other religious events!
-Hindu festivals are saffron terror, majoritarianism, oppressive behavior and hurts climate change!!
-Trump is wrong to call India a hell hole but are Hindus living in a hell hole ?
- homeless in their own home! Hope not !
For me the 1941 census of India drove me sick in the stomach when I saw that just about 150,000 or so Brits ruled over us 380 million! Wonder what the next census would reveal !!
I am upset and angry ! How about you? @ARanganathan72@SanjeevSanskrit@Sanjay_Dixit@jsaideepak@NBDwrites@prachyam7@satyanveshan
Maybe that famous song “वो सुबह कभी तो आएगी” prove right!
Maybe Hindus will Arise, Awaken, Assert & Act!
Maybe the chant of हर हर महादेव will ring the air
Maybe Hindus will regain their पुरुषार्थ, पराक्रम
After all what else is there to lose ?
