The headline (in TNIE) will show what is wrong in TN today. That belonging to one caste (Brahmin) is some mistake, and the Minister has to specifically address that. (It was literally the ground of opposition to his appointment). That is how normalised this bigotry by the Ds.
Modi-hatred is almost a requirement to be called an "intellectual" in some circles. We have to counter them, so let's recall some history.
Congress had left Punjab, Kashmir, Assam all burning. The Naxal menace had made middle India ungovernable. Bihar and UP had become lawless. Bengal stagnated and deteriorated.
Today, Bengal has been rescued from the lawless TMC. For the first time since my childhood, we can discuss development and progress in all these states. We can disagree on specific paths to development, but at least we get to have that conversation.
These achievements did not happen magically. They required a lot of hard work and sacrifice - and all of it happened democratically. Let us not forget that Congress used Article 356 very often to dismiss state governments and now they lecture us on "democratic values".
If we elect the wrong crowd, we risk losing all the gains we have made.
Modi and Shah have provided strong and resolute leadership that has allowed these useless intellectuals to indulge their Modi hatred. Deep down, even they know the truth.
Swapan Dasgupta is all set to be a Minister in CM Suvendu Adhikari's Cabinet— one of the brilliant ever choice. As MLA he represents the Rashbehari Constituency, Calcutta's most posh area previously ruled by misfits like Debashis Kumar. His elevation will greatly benefit the current goverment. He's the type of person which Bengal long deserved in its governance.
Dear Ministry of Culture,
To whoever wrote this paragraph:
“Civilizational inheritance is not just about geography or ruins; it is defined by living customs, symbols, rituals, and an unbroken cultural consciousness. India is the enduring living continuity of the Indus-Saraswati Civilization.”
Take a bow! 👏
This 4,500-year-old terracotta dice from the Indus-Saraswati Civilization is a powerful reminder of India’s living heritage. Dicing is also mentioned as a popular game in Rig and Atharva Vedas (two of the four sacred Vedic scriptures).
From symbols and craftsmanship to rituals, yogic practices, and collective memory, numerous elements of ancient Indian civilization continue to thrive in the daily social and religious life of Indian society across regions and communities.
Civilizational inheritance is not just about geography or ruins, it is defined by living customs, symbols, rituals, and unbroken cultural consciousness. India is the enduring living continuity of the Indus-Saraswati Civilization.

Omar-bhai is right. I would add that no other civilization has been as resilient in the face of so many attacks.
No other civilization has as much diversity - in language, food, culture, art, music, dance and spirituality - as we do. We have to fight to protect, nurture and sustain this for the ages.

Today is a historic day in the history of Tamilakam. Vaikasi 17 marks the day when Namperumal of Srirangam returned to His divine abode after 48 years, following the destruction of the Srirangam temple.
