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!
A convention centre named "Kalaignar Arivalayam" being built at a cost Rs. 550 Crores near Mahabalipuram.
Public Works Department of TN Government is building it. Former Chief Minister @mkstalin inspected the ongoing works two days ago - in what capacity - I do not know.
A news report in @the_hindu says that the project is waiting for 7.62 acres of land to be "transferred" by @tnhrcedept -
it is obvious that these lands would either be Hindu Temple lands or Hindu Endowments' lands since the misfits in @tnhrcedept are aware that the Fraud Department has zero lands to offer or transfer. It seems @the_hindu newspaper is not aware.
HR&CE Minister @RameshOffcl should take immediate steps to prevent alienation/transfer of lands of Hindu institutions for the purposes of convention hall named after anti-Hindu Karunanidhi.
After all, the lands are said to be required for entrance arch, landscaping etc. of the convention hall. Not at all essential.
Hindu Temple/Endowment lands are NOT sitting ducks to be taken by misfits, frauds and the corrupt.
As a 7 Judge Bench of Hon'ble Supreme Court said in 1954 they are generally INALIENABLE.
40 years in shipping gave me one unusual qualification as a historian: I had no academic orthodoxies to protect.
When I began researching the history of maritime trade, I followed the sea lanes backwards into deep antiquity. Without exception, they converged on the Indian subcontinent. This was not the book I had intended to write.
I must give credit to my editor, who gave an unknown author with a controversial approach, an opportunity. His first attempts to find peer reviewers encountered significant resistance. The argument that India sat at the centre of ancient world trade, not its periphery, was considered, to put it gently, inconvenient.
What I found, and what I could not stop finding, is that placing India at the centre of world history does not simply revise one chapter. It cascades. Correct the starting assumption and you are forced to reconsider the origins of mathematics, medicine, philosophy, linguistics, religion. Each conclusion leads to another. I came to call these the collateral heresies.
My three books explain the architecture of how they connect.
If you work in a field where received wisdom is protected by institutional interest rather than evidence, you will recognise the pattern. The question is whether the evidence eventually wins.
💥@KiritSomaiya@Dev_Fadnavis@mybmc i hereby propose Rs 10 as entry fee to all public spaces like parks, beaches and gardens across Mumbai as part of the Mumbai beautification plan.
In posh areas, the public spaces need Rs 50 as entry fees to be spent on the upkeep.
All entries should be qr code payment based so we know if illegal rohingyas are entering the spaces.
Entry fees of Gardens surrounding the Mandir premises like the Peshwa's Sarasbag Ganpati Mandir in Pune should go to the Mandir management.
@sanghaviharsh #Deradicalisation continues
Let’s have some fun, I’m going to give away $30,000 to 1 random person who retweets this tweet AND follows @Pulte and me!!! (So we can dm you the money if you win). Will show proof of paying winner ❤️
