Very well articulated..

[AstroCounselKK 🇮🇳 @AstroCounselKK]

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I lack civic sense.

They can overturn cars, burn streets,
and vandalize a city after a championship game.
I dance at an airport excited about my first foreign trip, and suddenly I am the face of poor civic sense.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I steal jobs.

They move factories across oceans,
shift profits through tax havens,
and automate entire industries overnight.
I study, compete, earn a visa, work 18 hours a day, sometimes multiple jobs and somehow I am the one stealing jobs and scamming the system.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am everywhere.

I build your software,
treat your illness,
teach your children,
drive your taxis,
and open your stores.
The world became a village,
yet my presence remains a problem.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am too loud.

The evening news screams outrage.
Political rallies shake entire cities.
The internet echoes with anger day and night.
I celebrate a wedding, a festival, a victory,
and I am told my joy is too loud.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I smell of curry.

The world smells of gunpowder,
of hatred,
of division,
of endless arguments about race and religion.
I carry the fragrance of spices from my grandmother's kitchen,
and somehow that is what offends.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I have no culture.

I come from a civilization that counted the stars
when much of the world was still learning maps.
I speak languages older than nations.
I celebrate hundreds of traditions,
yet I am told I have no culture.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am backward.

I send missions to the Moon.
I build vaccines for millions.
I run companies across continents.
Yet a viral video of one fool becomes evidence against a billion people.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I worship celebrities.

I celebrate my favorite actor's success
with flowers, music, and a few glasses of milk.

Others worship influencers who sell outrage, turn every disagreement into a battlefield, and every opinion into a war.
Yet my celebration is the one that makes headlines.

I am an Indian,

and everyone says I gather in crowds.

We walk together in processions,
celebrating our faith, our culture, our traditions.

Everyone is welcome.
No shops are looted.
No neighborhoods are burned.
No one is threatened for thinking differently.

We sing.
We dance.
We pray.
And somehow our gathering becomes the problem.

I am an Indian,

and everyone says I bring my culture everywhere.

I light a lamp in a foreign land.
I wear a saree in the snow.
I teach my children the language of their grandparents.

Others build walls between neighbors,
argue endlessly over identity,
and forget where they came from.
Yet I am told I should leave my culture behind.

I am an Indian,

and everyone says I live in the past.

But my past gave me yoga,
mathematics, philosophy, meditation,
and the idea that the world is one family.

The future keeps borrowing from my past,
while telling me to be embarrassed by it.

I am an Indian,
and everyone says I should be ashamed.

Ashamed of my accent.
Ashamed of my food.
Ashamed of my festivals.
Ashamed of my traditions.
Ashamed of existing.

But I am not ashamed.

I am the child of farmers and philosophers,
scientists and saints, workers and dreamers.

I come from a land that taught the world
that truth can be many-sided,
that all paths deserve respect,
and that the entire world is one family.

Yes, we have flaws. Every nation does.

But judge me by my actions, not by your stereotypes.

For I am an Indian.

And before you tell me what is wrong with me, look honestly at what you have normalized in yourself.

For I am an Indian.

The world may mock my accent,
question my customs,
laugh at my celebrations,
and judge me through a thousand stereotypes.

Yet I stand tall.
For I belong to a civilization older than empires, a culture richer than prejudice, and a people whose spirit refuses to bend.

Jai Hind

@EkanAnekan @Mahesh10816 I don't know how people still believe this guy has unquestionable credibility. Drowned in 'Vanmam', the sanity itself was lost long back when it comes to talking about KA for him.

[Saranathan @prabumea]

@indhavaainko 2/2 Thru their performance, prepare for 2029 parliamentary elections and 2031 assembly elections. Go with the belief that TN will have 60 MP constituencies and identify leaders for the same with backup plans. Ruthless preparations should be our focus and be the voice of locals.

[Saranathan @prabumea]

@indhavaainko Actually neither. The focus should be to identify 5000 leaders and preparing and training them for the upcoming local elections. Across Tamilnadu our target should be to win atleast 500 councilors, panchayat presidents and ward member at a minimum. Drive their exemplary work 1/2

[Saranathan @prabumea]

@amitroy1 @hussainjinwala @AstroSharmistha I would make a small correction - BJP is the ONLY nationalist party currently. So it's natural for any nationalist to sound like BJP supporter.

[Saranathan @prabumea]

@Mahesh10816 @sansbarrier @MaridhasAnswers @Gayatri_Raguram @SVESHEKHER One is known by the company he keeps. The gang quotedshows where you belong. All the names you gave believes they belong to privileged elites and use abusive & filthy language when their elitism is questioned and further assume their brahminical (excl.Maridhas) superiority.

[Saranathan @prabumea]

@Selvakumar_IN Number of seats won can not be the only measure of performance. TNBJP was below NOTA level performance. He worked to build the reach, perception and vote share significantly. When the central BJP leaders aren't saying anything, why are you guys jumping? Fear of losing relevance?

[STAR Boy TARUN @Starboy2079]

Yesterday, I made two allegations against you and you smartly ignored them:

▪️You received grants from the US-based Pulitzer Center, an NGO funded by George Soros and Norway.
▪️You received substantial funding from the US-based Thakur Family Foundation between 2021 and 2024.

Both George Soros and the Thakur Family Foundation are widely perceived as not being well-wishers of India. Soros has openly called for the removal of the Modi government, while the Thakur Family Foundation has been accused of orchestrating campaigns against the Indian pharmaceutical industry.

My questions are:
▪️How and why were you shortlisted for these grants?
▪️When and how much funding did you receive from them?
▪️Given this background, can I reasonably assume that you accepted this money to push narratives against the Modi government and contribute to a regime-change operation?
▪️Additionally, which other organisations have provided you with funding?

[Saranathan @prabumea]

@sophiapeppin Biggest joke 🤣 is the claim that Vijay has a vision. Delivering punch dialogue written by scriptwriters doesn't translate to vision. A vision needs a rooted thought process, ability to think for and with the masses, selflessness and a service mindset. And Vijay's score is poor..

[Dr. Deepessh Divaakaran (Dr. DD) @md_deepesh]

India has been running a scam on itself for 35 years.
Not the West's scam.
Ours.

Designed elsewhere.
Approved here.
Celebrated everywhere.

1991.
India called it Liberalization.

The newspapers called it reform.
The economists called it courage.

History may call it something else.

Because almost nobody read the fine print.

The real deal was never written in a budget speech.

India would export its brightest minds.
West would keep the ownership.
India would keep the applause.

And everyone would call it progress.
The handshakes were signed.
The champagne was poured.

The story began.

IITs expanded.
Campuses grew.
Taxpayer money flowed.

Generation after generation was trained.
Not to build Indian technology empires.
But to become the world's most reliable technology labour force.

America noticed something before India did.
The Indian mind was the most valuable raw material on Earth.

More valuable than oil.
More valuable than rare earth minerals.
More valuable than factories.
And most loyal too.

So they took it.
Legally.
Cunningly.
At industrial scale.

IIT graduates landed in Silicon Valley.
They wrote the code.
Designed the systems.
Built the servers.
Engineered the chips.
Created the platforms.

India supplied the brains.
West kept the products.
West kept the patents.
West kept the power.

Then came the second act.
The twist nobody talks about.

The same technology came back home.
The same code.
The same servers.
The same platforms.
The same dependency.

Only, now it arrived wearing a different costume.

Digital India.
Cloud Revolution.
AI Transformation.

NTT.
Japan.
18 facilities.
~265 MW.

STT GDC.
Singapore.
30 Locations.
~390 MW.

AWS.
America.
5 Locations.
~900 MW.

Google.
America.
~1000 MW.

Microsoft.
America.
~500 MW.

The biggest names in global data infrastructure.
Planting flags across India.

Now comes the uncomfortable part.

The hardware?
Not ours.

The operating systems?
Not ours.

The foundational AI models?
Not ours.

The cloud infrastructure?
Not ours.

The laws governing much of it?
Not ours.

The CLOUD Act 2018.
A law passed in Washington.
With consequences far beyond Washington.

If an American company owns the platform,
America can demand access under its laws.

The server location becomes secondary.
The ownership becomes everything.

And while all this was happening...

Ribbon cuttings continued.
Press conferences continued.
MoUs continued.
Awards continued.

This is the circular model nobody wants to discuss.

Fund the education.
Export the talent.
Let west build the platforms.

Import the platforms.
Pay annual fees forever.

Rename the dependency.
Call it sovereignty.

35 years: No sovereign operating system.
35 years: No globally dominant Indian chip platform.
35 years: No foundational AI Ecosystem.

But we became experts at celebrating consumption.
Experts at rebranding dependency.
Experts at confusing usage with ownership.

The British took the cotton.
And sold back the cloth.

This time we shipped the brains.
Then bought back the intelligence.
On subscription.

History has a cruel sense of humour.

Sometimes a nation loses its sovereignty through invasion.

Sometimes it signs it away.
Then calls it reform.

@Warrenwala Scoda Tubes

[Saranathan @prabumea]

@KVNNSGTV @Sudhars31412680 Yes. Another way of looking at it is that every time they win and come to power, they are sent back to the opposition benches in the next term. மக்களை தெளிய வைச்சு தெளிய வைச்சு அடிக்கறதுதான் திமுக வழக்கம் என்று ஆகிவிட்டது.

[Saranathan @prabumea]

@Karthikravivarm @annamalai_k Tamilnadu is definitely not ready for a principles based politics and Annamalai can not succeed with BJP or as an independent party. It will be efforts put in vain. He will be better utilised in central role. Infact, Min of I&B could be a good starting point and beneficial.

[Saranathan @prabumea]

@KNVR2023 @md_deepesh @MKoratagere @AmitShahOffice @HMOIndia @MEAIndia @DrSJaishankar @narendramodi @PMOIndia It's not about indecision or other stuff mentioned.. but just prioritisation i suppose. And here, we got to trust the leaders who are actually leading from the front then assuming we know more and advising them. And we know that the current leadership plans so many years ahead.

[Saranathan @prabumea]

@KNVR2023 @md_deepesh @MKoratagere @AmitShahOffice @HMOIndia @MEAIndia @DrSJaishankar @narendramodi @PMOIndia It's not about spine but strategy. The leaders know what battle to fight and what to defer for future. Disclosures and exposes do more damage at times than governmental actions. So focus on discrediting the institution.. now more people know about Monster Theresa than before.

[Saranathan @prabumea]

@aravind @Aryan097871 Please don't waste your energy responding to these bunch of jokers @aravind ji. This is possibly a bunch that can't stand many of your exposures.

@akilan16 அடுத்தவன் பணத்தை ஆட்டையை போட்டு சொந்த பாக்கெட் நிரப்பறவங்களுக்கு இப்படி கொள்கைகளை பாக்கெட்டில் வைத்திருப்பது வேடிக்கையாகத்தான் தோன்றும்..

[Saranathan @prabumea]

@Udhaystalin Actually the question should have been, "is this a new govt or just a continuation of the DMK Government.. Where is the change? ".. May be the TVK team must have thought that the people only wanted change in the government and not in governance... so the crime scene continues..

@sanyayyyy Isn't Peanuts Protein? People always say have the boiled peanuts for morning to get max protein? Please throw some clarity..
