@shanmugamchin10 அந்தச் சிறுவன் அடிக்கப்பட்டதும், சம்பளம் மறுக்கப்பட்டதும், ஆதரவின்றி அலைந்ததும் மனிதநேயம் தோல்வியடைந்ததற்கான சாட்சிகள். ஒரு TTE-யின் கருணை பாராட்டுக்குரியது; ஆனால் ஒருவரின் நற்செயலால் சமூகமே மனிதநேயமிக்கது ஆகிவிடாது. 🙏🏻

திருவைகுண்டம் அருகே பெண் ஒருவர், தவெக நிர்வாகிகள் இருவரால் வேலை வாங்கித் தருவதாக அழைத்துச் செல்லப்பட்டு, மயக்க மருந்து கொடுத்து பாலியல் வன்கொடுமைக்கு ஆளாக்கப்பட்ட செய்தி அதிர்ச்சியும் வேதனையும் அளிக்கிறது.

பெண்கள் பாதுகாப்பு பெரும் கேள்விக்குறியாகியுள்ள இன்றைய சூழலில், தேர்தல் காலத்தைப் போல திமுகவின் மீது பழி போடுவதை நிறுத்திவிட்டு, தாங்கள் தான் ஆளுங்கட்சி என்பதை உணர்ந்து 'பொறுப்புடன்' முதலமைச்சர் திரு. விஜய் அவர்கள் செயல்பட போவது எப்போது?

Tamil Nadu’s universities are facing a severe faculty shortage, with many teaching positions lying vacant. Students deserve quality education, proper guidance, and strong research opportunities. We urge the @CMOTamilnadu to immediately fill vacant posts and strengthen our universities. Education cannot wait.

No patient should die waiting because of cumbersome bureaucracy. GoTN must certainly take a relook on this problem.

One can fool some of the people some of the time, but the truth eventually comes to light.
How long can this blame game continue?

THE POWER OF QUESTIONING :

Some stories don’t begin in the corridors of power. They start with a quiet refusal. A student staring at an answer sheet that isn’t his, a young coder noticing a door left unlocked, a teenager who actually reads the fine print others ignore.
In the past few weeks, Vedant Srivastava, Nisarga Adhikary, and Sarthak Sidhant have done exactly that. Each noticed something off. A wrong answer sheet, a worrying vulnerability, a tender that seemed bent just right. And instead of letting it slide, they asked questions loud enough for the rest of the country to hear.
What makes their story compelling isn’t just what they found, but the courage it took to speak up. Vedant could have accepted the error. Nisarga could have stayed silent after spotting the flaws. Sarthak could have closed those procurement documents and moved on. But they didn’t.
And that’s the mere power of their actions. In an age where outrage spreads faster than truth, they chose evidence over noise. They reminded us that scrutiny isn’t disrespect. It’s care. That even the most respected institutions grow stronger when they’re willing to be questioned.

These three boys have shown something important: you don’t need gray hair or a big title to matter. Sometimes, all it takes is the willingness to look closely and say, out loud, “This doesn’t seem right.” And in that simple act of questioning, real change often begins.

A new study by London School of Economics professor Mukulika Banerjee has reignited debate over inequality in India’s tax system.

Speaking on a podcast, Banerjee explained how indirect taxes like GST affect poor families more heavily because everyone pays the same tax on daily-use items, regardless of income. Using the example of a packet of biscuits, she said a rich person and a rickshaw puller pay the same GST amount, but the financial burden is far greater for the poorer person.

Her research also highlighted the sharp income gap in India, claiming that nearly half the population survives on around ₹6,000 a month. The remarks have sparked fresh discussion online about rising inequality, taxation, and whether the current system puts a bigger burden on lower-income citizens.

Credit where credit is due. When many chose to look the other way, this initiative sought to confront a growing social concern. Hats off to Mr @mkstalin sir and all those who worked behind the scenes. A stitch in time saves nine; may this effort spare countless families from hardship and heartache.

Prohibition of the Screening of Thiruparankundram Files: Are Secularism and Freedom of Expression in Tamil Nadu Being Restricted by “Orders from Above”?

The Tamil Nadu Digital Journalists Union (TNDJU) strongly condemns the Tamil Nadu Police for preventing the screening of the documentary by journalist Thavam, citing what was described as an “order from above.”

In response to the contemporary threats facing communal harmony, journalist and Arakkalagam activist Thavam, in collaboration with Thiru. Tamildhasan, produced and directed Thiruparankundram Files, a documentary that underscores the importance of religious harmony. The film was released and screened in February at the Four Frames theatre in Chennai. The event was attended by senior journalists, political leaders, social activists, and members of the film fraternity. Following this, several other screenings were also held.

The documentary, widely appreciated by people across various sections of society, was scheduled to be screened in Pudukkottai today (31 May) by Veethi Kalai Ilakkiya Kalam. However, police personnel arrived at the private venue where the event was to take place and instructed that it must not be conducted. To spare the hall owners any inconvenience, the organisers shifted the event to the hall of the Tamil Nadu Science Movement. Yet, even as preparations were underway there, police officers arrived once again.

“The screening cannot be held. Orders from above,” they reportedly said, and prevented the event from proceeding.

“This is a film that has already been released. The documentary is available on YouTube through the Cheral channel and has been viewed by more than 60,000 people. There is nothing clandestine about it. You are welcome to sit and watch it yourselves,” the organisers repeatedly explained. The police, however, refused to relent. Ultimately, the screening was cancelled.

Private screenings of this documentary have taken place on several occasions from February 2026 until the eve of the elections. Not a single issue had arisen during any of those events. Yet, the authorities also refused to provide a written explanation for prohibiting the screening.

What exactly does it mean when the police say, “Please understand, sir, the orders have come from above”?

The Tamil Nadu Digital Journalists Union vehemently condemns this arbitrary and high-handed action by the police.

Protecting secularism is a duty enshrined in the Constitution of India. Expressing a viewpoint in furtherance of that duty is a right guaranteed by the Constitution. By preventing this screening, the Tamil Nadu Police have obstructed both that right and that duty.

The Government of Tamil Nadu must immediately provide an explanation. We have been receiving complaints from various quarters that similar events are being obstructed on a continuing basis. What is the Government’s response to these concerns?

For a group of individuals to gather and conduct an event in a private venue, there is no obligation to seek permission from anyone other than the owner of the premises. If so, who authorised the deployment of the police to stop this event? Why was a written order of refusal not provided? What lies behind the arbitrary act of entering the venue and preventing the screening?

The Government of Tamil Nadu must offer an immediate and unequivocal explanation.

This is really a courageous and much-needed intervention. By confronting the shadow cast by prolonged online rummy play, it places people before profit and welfare before convenience. Countless families bear the scars of gambling-related harm; this initiative offers a ray of hope.🙏

Let me make this absolutely clear: appreciating a good action by the DMK does not make me a DMK supporter. I support what is right, and that is my democratic right. I do not need a political certificate from anyone.
Do not mistake objectivity for partisanship. I will continue to question failures and acknowledge achievements, regardless of which party is in power. If you wish to debate, do so with facts and reason, not assumptions about my political leanings.
Political blinders have no place in a serious discussion. Focus on the issue, not the individual.

Demand for Accountability and Justice #Karur Stampede Tragedy (September 27, 2025)

The deaths of 41 people in Karur cannot simply be swept under the rug or dismissed as just another tragic incident. This is not a matter that should fade into the background while the news cycle moves on. Forty-one lives were lost, and the public deserves answers.

The tragedy has raised serious questions about governance, accountability, administrative efficiency, and the functioning of the institutions responsible for protecting citizens. When so many lives are lost under circumstances that demand scrutiny, it is only natural for people to ask whether negligence, corruption, abuse of power, bureaucratic indifference, or systemic failures played a role.

Adding to public concern is the fact that individuals and institutions connected to the circumstances surrounding these deaths are now part of the ruling establishment. In such a situation, transparency is not a luxury, it is a necessity. The government must come clean, leave no stone unturned, and ensure that an independent and impartial investigation is conducted.

If wrongdoing, negligence, or administrative lapses are found, those responsible must be held accountable, regardless of their position or political influence. Justice cannot be allowed to take a back seat, nor can accountability be sacrificed at the altar of political convenience.

As citizens, we are not asking for speculation or political point-scoring. We are asking for the truth. We seek clarity, transparency, and justice for the victims and their families. The government and the competent authorities have both a constitutional duty and a moral responsibility to ensure that the facts are brought to light.

Human lives cannot be treated as mere statistics or collateral damage. In a democracy governed by the rule of law, accountability is not optional, it is the bedrock upon which public trust is built. When institutions fail to answer legitimate questions, suspicion fills the vacuum. The only way forward is through a credible, transparent, and independent inquiry that restores public confidence and upholds the principles of justice and democratic governance.

Today marks the death anniversary of Helen Keller, one of my favourite authors and a beacon of resilience. Her extraordinary life has inspired generations worldwide. Her story lives on through “The Miracle Worker” and the Indian film “Black”, reminding us that determination can overcome even the greatest obstacles.
