@NewsAlgebraIND Who are these people who pick up young confused kids, fill their heads with rubbish and use them as cannon fodder to spout nonsens to the press?
@gargiuvacha There's one more event celebrated along with Deepavali - Naraka Chathurthi. When Narakasura was killed by Krishna. This time in Dwaparayuga.
@NBDwrites@AusHCPak Culture is the core of HERITAGE. By connotation, a HERITAGE can be claimed only by a people or a nation who continue & acknowledge it as THEIR OWN. All history, inc Taxashila and such in present day Pak geography belong to Akhanda Bharata & not today's Pak's alienated people.
@vajravyuha No equivalence betw Greek epics & Indian ones. Indian epics happened to restore the honour of women. Sita was abducted and Draupadi was disrobed. In Illiad, Helen ELOPES with Paris. So Troy was to assuage ego. Nothing noble. In India, woman is Shakthi. There, she's a possession.
@ShefVaidya@Amritanandamayi@NobelPrize Privilege exists only if it gets recognition. Why does the world even bother about the 'white man's' awards? Looking for validation from there is a colonial hang-up. The colonial era's most lasting success is a mass lobotomy of the colonized popn, removing their self esteem.
@AartiTikoo Kashmir is purely & simply a COMMUNAL problem. Of one community's horrific pogrom over another's. DO NOT EQUATE the Pandits and Kashmiri Muslims. One was DRIVEN OUT and the other chose to keep quiet. 3rdly, COMMERCE IS NOT A SIN. Most K NRIs doing well now once were refugees too.
@Puyangan5 I notice TAMILIANS. Nothing more. Nothing less. Historically.
Ran India for the British. Ran post independent India. Till today.
Made Silicon Valley. And heads a huge number of multinationals in the US. The only people who downplay them - the so called 'Dravidas'!
@dmuthuk It's not the Party. It's always its people. The leaders. If they're not good & charismatic, no party can get votes. All BJP states have the state's own leadership who carry the BJP. I'm a BJP voter for the center. But not for the TN state. Annamalai had that charisma
@saravofcl 3 language formula DOES NOT SAY HINDI ANYWHERE. Children are capable of learning several languages at that age. This is just sheer cussedness. They don't care abt dumbing down their own state's children to suit their own selfish political divisive interests.
@sunandavashisht Discipline is alright. But they are not the Army. They're a political party of a democracy. They also need to be fluid enough to have different strokes for diff states. BJP is getting complacent. A dangerous state
@sunandavashisht By 'language' he meant 'idiom' more then tamizh. I'm a BJP voter (as of now) and I get what he means. This has also been my main criticism of BJP. They're basically N.Indian party and need regional heavyweights in other states. Annamalai was the only such one in TN. They goofed
@Vairamuthu Right. Thiruvalluvar, as free as air and common to all humanity, shall be addressed, represented, clothed and decorated by every human or community as he/she/they wish it. So, chill. You too may present him or see him whichever way you wish.
@sushantsareen Clubs 'nice, decent, genteel'!!? All clubs, esp colonial vestigial remains like the Gymkhana ones, are swamps of politics, intrigue, corruption, nepotism, exploitation of labour and elitism. That's ok. So's society. But don't do it on public land and money.
Stop throwing a fit. Delhi Gymkhana is a private club. No one’s taking away your membership of it. Just that, leave aside valid security concerns, taxpayers are no longer willing to subsidise to the tune of thousands of crores, your stale cutlets and evening swims.
