Until about the 1960s-70s, Tamil Nadu was as poor as many other north India states of India which had more political representation and power at the Union.

Tamil Nadu, today:

💰 Is the second largest state economy of India – contributes to about 9% of India’s GDP with about 6% of India’s population

🏭 Is the most industrialised state in India with more than 40,000 factories

🏙️ Is the most urbanised state in India

👩‍🏭 Is home to a staggering 42% of ALL of India’s women factory workers

🩺 Has 1 doctor for every 253 people according to a study, India has 1 for every 834 people

📚 Has a GER is 47%, while the national average is 28.4%

📖 Has a significantly higher literacy rate compared to the national average

👫 Has a more balanced sex ratio compared to the national average

📉 In multi-dimensional poverty index, India’s average is 14.96% while Tamil Nadu’s is only 2.20%

📦 Is the third largest exporter state in India

🚗 Is one of the top 10 automobile hubs in the world - accounts for about 35% of auto and auto component exports

🖥️ Is India’s largest electronics exporter

🔋 Produces 40% of EV 4-wheelers, 70% of two wheelers sold in India

🧵 Leading state in leather and textiles exports

🌍 Has the presence of 130+ Global Fortune 500 Companies

📈 Has the largest number of patents filed in India

🔬 Has the highest number of research fellows in India

What is the main reason for this astounding transformation over the last several decades?

Listen to this Brahmin thatha for the answer:

In a way, Annamalai has admitted that the DMK-ecosystem's discourse over the last decade couldn't be deconstructed. Tamil Nadu is stridently anti-Delhi, anti-national parties. Even if Cristiano Ronaldo was Tamil and he becomes the TN BJP head, he wouldn't be able to move the needle an inch.

"I was trolled endlessly by people online, some even called me anti-national" —This is the trouble when the country, in a deranged trance, shows allegiance to a person and a political party, forgetting that the actual country is beyond and far bigger than that individual and party.

Chief Minister’s Comprehensive Health Insurance Scheme (CMCHIS) of Tamil Nadu was launched in 2009 by Chief Minister Dr. M. Karunanidhi—the organ transplant scheme including BMT was transformational. May this scheme continue to save ♾️ lives. Cc: Hon’ble Min @arunraajkg Sir

This useless cabinet achieved 187% GDP growth (versus under 100% in the last 12 years), under this cabinet the Rupee was not Asia’s worst currency like today, and our stock market was not the world's second-worst performing stock market. It didn’t shut down 93,000 public schools like your paw paw, maintained petrol at 50–60 INR without ethanol blending despite 100–147 USD crude oil, and preserved a strong RTI and relatively free media. Furthermore, it levied no STT, LTCG, or STCG, enabling middle-class wealth growth and stability. Under its watch, India's per capita was not less than Bangladesh like today, income inequality was not worse than the days of the British Raj like today, and Taiwan did not overtake India in stock market capitalization.

From doubting the investment when the MoU was signed in 2024 to expanding big time in India, Vinfast has come a long way. They call TN their home in India. Hope to see more investments from them @VinFastIN ... #Vinfast #InvestInTN

Political forces in Tamil Nadu today:

DMK - rooted in Dravidian movement

ADMK - rooted in Dravidian movement

VCK, PMK, DMDK, Left etc. - all adopt Periyar, at least for namesake.

NTK - Tamil Nationalism, opposed to Hindu nationalism

Tamilaga Vetri Kazhagam - Periyar as ideological pillar

Annamalai - “truly secular”, “Dravidianism 2.0”

RSS-BJP-Hindu Nationalism whut 😁😁

[Markets by Zerodha @zerodhamarkets]

Between 2004 and 2011, India pulled off something rarely seen in the world. Our poverty rate fell from 37% to 22%, dropping more than two percentage points every single year. That means every year, one in fifty Indians, tens of millions of people, would break out of poverty. 🧵👇

[RS @madarassi]

Truly secular party 😁 dravidianism 2.0 😁
