Reservation is not a privilege given to lower-caste people; it is reparations paid by our country for caste-based atrocities and discrimination by the upper castes, which denied them land, education and the right to self-determined dignified employment for thousands of years.
@AbhinayDha@MeghUpdates 90% of Tamils are Hindus, and most of us have personally experienced caste-based discrimination, oppression & violence.
We are voicing our past struggles & advocating for reforms by our leaders while following & propagating their ideologies. We’ve no qualms with other religions.

STORY | Udhayanidhi says Sanatana Dharma divides, must be 'abolished'
DMK leader Udhayanidhi Stalin on Tuesday called for the "abolition" of Sanatana Dharma, claiming it divides people, repeating the controversial remarks he made in September 2023.
In his maiden speech as the Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Tamil Nadu Assembly, the DMK leader also said the opposition "will not permit" any attempt to sideline "Tamil Thai Vazhuthu", the Tamil invocation song.
"Sanatana Dharma, which divides the people, must certainly be abolished," he said in his speech in the House. His similar remarks in 2023 had created a major row, with the leader facing flak and court cases from pro-Hindu outfits over his remarks.
Udhayanidhi was highlighting a specific grievance regarding the recent swearing-in ceremony of the new government, observing that the state anthem was pushed to the third position in the order of events rather than its traditional priority.
"…such an incident, which happened during your government's swearing-in ceremony, was a mistake, and you should not permit it to happen again in this Assembly. We will not permit it," said the LoP.
He added that not just in the Assembly, but in any government event or any event held in Tamil Nadu, the 'Tamil Thai Vazhthu' must always be given the primary position.
"I request this government to ensure that this is never compromised. We must be very vigilant in protecting our rights and traditions," said the LoP.
The deviation, he claimed, caused significant anger and shock among the people of the state.

Ironically the biggest political critic of #PMModi is #CMModi.
When @PChidambaram_IN was finance minister, he advised people to avoid buying gold, which then Gujarat CM @NarendraModi_IN mocked. But, now PM @NarendraModi is asking people to avoid buying gold for the same reason.
@PttvNewsX@VanathiBJP, you have been kicked off from your MLA position, which proves that your Saanithinni Dharma is irrelevant to Tamil Nadu and will be eradicated completely.
