[The Kaipullai @thekaipullai]

Also from the land which produced Narasimha Pallavan, Raja Raja Chozhan, Rajendra Chozhan, Puli Thevar, Marudhu Brothers, Dheeran Chinnamalai, Vanchinathan Iyer and Subramaniam Bharati, if some one like ItisPrashant becomes a Tamil guardian, we should all introspect where we have gone wrong as a civilization.

The seal creators, the ancient Indians, were much smarter than these fake professors.

They put a Rhino, an Elephant, and a Tiger together on the seal along with a Yoga pose to ensure it is not appropriated by such charlatans saying it is from Elam (Iran) or the West or China.

These charlatans work in universities under the funding from the GLISCO-DS, the Globalists, Islamists, and Communists. You know the countries.

All three groups are on a mission to appropriate everything Indian and making them Western, Islamic, or Chinese to bankrupt India of its civilization and make Indians gullible to them.

Now see them invent reasons in their universities, publish papers, and tell Indians how Iran had Tigers, Elephants, and Rhinos. And how all three came to India from Europe, Arabia, and China.

Sadly, many young Indians will believe them too and fight with you for them saying there's no deep state or agenda here. This is because of the state's apathy in allowing its young generation to be programmed by social media.

As usual, the fake historian is trying to peddle a narrative that Devadasis under Cholas were a “dehumanising” system and Brahmins were the benefactors. There is zero evidence of such lies.

Here is a thread on the temple dancers, referred to in Chola inscriptions as Devar Adiyars — servants of the deity — who occupied a recognised and respected position within temple society.

The Devadasis or Devaradiyars attached to temples during the Chola period were primarily dancers, musicians and ritual functionaries serving the temple establishment. The inscriptions speak of them with dignity and institutional recognition. 🧵

[Ananthan Ayyasamy @AnanthAyyasamy]

Four years ago, I sat down with my 12-year-old daughter in the US and told her I was walking away from a successful tech career and real estate business to return to India for public service and politics.

At that age, she didn’t realize “public life” would slowly take her Appa away from her for months… and years.

But I came with conviction.

So for the last 4 years, we gave everything we had — for example -In villages like Subramaniapuram and Vellanaikottai, we built bus shelters, restored a 100-acre pond, removed seemai karuvelam, strengthened bunds, planted thousands of palm saplings, supported students’ education, organized medical camps and career workshops, built community sheds, encouraged youth and sports activities, and contributed to annadanams.

It cost several ten lakhs of hard-earned money - just for this village alone. But more than money, it cost time… family moments… and precious years watching my daughter grow up from far away.

Then elections came.

And the same village chose a candidate who had barely visited them in five years.

In the end, one week of election-time money defeated four years of sincere service.

Yesterday, my daughter quietly asked me over video call:

“Appa… can you now tell me what exactly politics is?”

For the first time in my life, I did not have an answer for my chellaponnu.

[Dr Mouth Matters @GanKanchi]

MUST READ Unbelievable & SHOCKING INFORMATION.

DD Podhigai telecast an interview with Mr P M Nair, (retired IAS officer, who was the Secretary to Dr. Abdul Kalam Sir when he was the President.)

I summarise the points he spoke in a voice choked with emotion.

Mr Nair authored a book titled "Kalam Effect"

1. Dr Kalam used to receive costly gifts whenever he went abroad as it is customary for many nations to give gifts to the visiting Heads of State.

Refusing the gift would become an insult to the nation and an embarrassment for India.

So, he received them and on his return, Dr Kalam asked the gifts to be photographed and then catalogued and handed over to the archives.

Afterwards, he never even looked at them. He did not take even a pencil from the gifts received when he left Rashtrapathi Bhavan.

2. In 2002, the year Dr Kalam took over, the Ramadan month came in July-August.

It was a regular practice for the President to host an iftar party.

Dr Kalam asked Mr Nair why he should host a party to people who are already well fed and asked him to find out how much would be the cost.

Mr Nair told it would cost around Rs. 22 lakhs.

Dr Kalam asked him to donate that amount to a few selected orphanages in the form of food, dresses and blankets.

The selection of orphanages was left to a team in Rashtrapathi Bhavan and Dr Kalam had no role in it.

After the selection was made, Dr Kalam asked Mr Nair to come inside his room and gave him a cheque for Rs 1 lakh.

He said that he was giving some amount from his personal savings and this should not be informed to anyone.

Mr Nair was so shocked that he said "Sir, I will go outside and tell everyone . People should know that here is a man who not only donated what he should have spent but he is giving his own money also".

Dr Kalam though he was a devout Muslim did not have Iftar parties in the years in which he was the President.

3. Dr Kalam did not like "Yes Sir" type of people.

Once when the Chief Justice of India had come and on some point Dr Kalam expressed his view and asked Mr Nair,
"Do you agree?" Mr Nair said "

No Sir, I do not agree with you".
The Chief Justice was shocked and could not believe his ears.

It was impossible for a civil servant to disagree with the President and that too so openly.

Mr Nair told him that the President would question him afterwards why he disagreed and if the reason was logical 99% he would change his mind.

4. Dr Kalam invited 50 of his relatives to come to Delhi and they all stayed in Rashtrapathi Bhavan.

He organised a bus for them to go around the city which was paid for by him.

No official car was used. All their stay and food was calculated as per the instructions of Dr Kalam and the bill came to Rs 2 lakhs which he paid.

In the history of this country no one has done it.

Now, wait for the climax, Dr Kalam's elder brother stayed with him in his room for the entire one week as Dr Kalam wanted his brother to stay with him.

When they left, Dr Kalam wanted to pay rent for that room also.

Imagine the President of a country paying rent for the room in which he is staying.

This was any way not agreed to by the staff who thought the honesty was getting too much to handle!!!.

5. When Kalam Sir was to leave Rashtrapathi Bhavan at the end of his tenure, every staff member went and met him and paid their respects.

Mr Nair went to him alone as his wife had fractured her leg and was confined to bed. Dr Kalam asked why his wife did not come. He replied that she was in bed due to an accident.

Next day, Mr.Nair saw lot of policemen around his house and asked what had happened.

They said that the President of India was coming to visit him in his house. He came and met his wife and chatted for some time.

Mr Nair says that no president of any country would visit a civil servant's house and that too on such a simple pretext.

I thought I should give the details as many of you may not have seen the telecast and so it may be useful.

The younger brother of APJ Abdul Kalam runs an umbrella repairing shop.

When Mr. Nair met him during Kalam’s funeral, he touched his feet, in token of respect for both Mr. Nair and Brother.

Such information should be widely shared on social media as mainstream media will not show this because it doesn't carry the so-called GB TRP

The property left behind by Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam was estimated.
_
He owned
6 pants(2 DRDO uniforms)
4 shirts(2 DRDO uniforms)
3 suits (1 western, 2 Indian)
2500 books
1 flat (which he has donated)
1 Padmashri
1 Padmabhushan
1 Bharat Ratna
16 doctorates
1 website
1 twitter account
1 email id

He didn't have any TV, AC, car, jewellery, shares, land or bank balance.

He had even donated the last 8 years' pension towards the development of his village.

He was a real patriot and true Indian

India will for ever be grateful to you, sir.

[Halley @halleyji]

Degradation in aesthetics irritates me a lot.
When I visit a temple that is a few centuries old I expect it to be maintained a bit to preserve the heritage continuity.
Have seen this in many temples. Their interest is purely restricted to the Garbha Griha Murti i.e. sanctum sanctorum. Rest of it they will apply all sorts of colours, white washing etc. Like some kindergarten kid learning painting.
Sculptures, wall engravings and paintings not maintained at all. Not bothered. Don't know if it is the curse of endowments department takeover. But this seems to happen with private heritage temples too. Newer generations seem least bothered.
Call me a luddite or looking backwards person whatever.. but on matters of arts and crafts last 150yrs has been a mega L for us.

While researching for my upcoming book on Goan History, here is what I found, in the words of Francis Xavier himself. Yeah, the same Jesuit Missionary who is deified as 'Goemcho Saib' and whose body lies in a church in Old Goa. These are HIS words.

[𑀓𑀺𑀭𑀼𑀱𑁆𑀡𑀷𑁆 🇮🇳 @tskrishnan]

Today marks the 8th day of the Panguni festival at Srirangam. Exactly 703 years ago, on this very day, an event of immense consequence unfolded—one that altered the course of Tamilakam’s history.

The people gathered within the sacred temple premises had heard that Ulugh Khan, later known as Mohammad bin Tughlaq, had reached Kannanur Koppam, today’s Samayapuram, with his army. But the people of this land had seen many wars between kings before. Those conflicts, however fierce, had rarely disturbed the life of the temple or the sanctity of its festivals. Believing that this too would pass without touching the Lord’s abode, the devotees chose to continue with the celebrations.

What they did not know was that this army was not merely passing through.

Suddenly, armed and trained soldiers of the Delhi Sultanate descended upon Srirangam. The unarmed devotees — men, women, and children — who had assembled in faith and devotion were caught without defence. In a matter of moments, the temple town was turned into a scene of horror. Tradition remembers that twelve thousand people lost their lives in that brutal massacre. The great temple of Srirangam was sacked, looted, and devastated.

[Rajiv Malhotra @RajivMessage]

Similarly nobody owns the laws of physics, hence we can all claim to have discovered whatever the Nobel Laureates discovered. Right?
Physics laws work the same for everyone, but some folks own the IP. Same way, everyone should benefit from meditation as consumers, but without denying the IP of discoverers.
This attitude mentioned below is a form on liberal racism. They are clear about western history, knowledge, etc. Anyone plagiarizing is reprimanded. But non-western knowledge is deemed public domain.

[balaji bhaskaran @iSherlockd221]

@trramesh A lot of inscriptions on the floor of adhipurieswar sannathi were removed and replaced with normal flooring. Despite the temple is well financially, none of the 27 nakshatra lingas(unique to this temple) are without veshti and on enquired, gurukkals were citing politics in that.

[balaji bhaskaran @iSherlockd221]

@trramesh They have built a toilet right inside the temple near akasalinga . There used to be a sacred bilva tree earlier but that got damaged during rains and now in that place these folks have built a toilet citing convenience for devotees even when a public toilet is available nearby

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

Indeed. Overturning the Shah Bano judgment; giving crores to set up Christian Development Corporations; organising Iftar parties; providing Haj subsidy; controlling 34,558 temples; disbursing monthly salaries to Imams; celebrating Teresa's sainthood - was all a personal matter.
