Dravidian writer/lyricist Arivumathi explains how they have deported Tamil Brahmins from their village near Cuddalore in his childhood. Need to subtitle this for a greater reach.

The village he is mentioning is Su.Keenanur and it is of walking distance from Manimuthaaru river.
He is saying that Brahmins were owning 1500 acres and tortured other castes, but what about other 'Zamidar' castes who would have owned the same or even more acres and get their fields farmed from the same oppressed castes ? #Dravidam
Important.. see non Tamils wont know what is going on here. Here is a leading #Dravidian-Tamil journo presenting a book to Tamilnadu Chief Minister Mr.M.K.Stalin

You see he is presenting a book..you dont want to look closer. It disturbs you. But zoom in.
Forget for a moment that a CM of a major state which in a modern democracy can even accept such a hate book with a cover like this. That even such books continue to be written in a nook of the world - in Tamil.
"TBrahmin women are learning Bharatanatyam dance as a scheme to entertain and take the money of Chettiars (Nattukottai Nagarathars)"

You all think I am trying haard to find these. Not at all. This is their entire literature. There is nothing else! I can just pick any book/periodical and find this! A cauldron of hatred - to demonize and defame the Tamil Brahmin people.
This is where "Brahmin"Ism will get you @ChetanAhimsa .. no one supports oppression. But only a coward or a deep actor like TNM will support tagging this to an identifiable group.
Here is a #D thought experiment. Say I push this message
👉Only the vile 3% TBrahmins are opposing such an innocent demand to rename the Centre as Ondriyam"
How many of you would get scared and vacate..
This is how you gain territory.

What is the 'federalist principle' ? Do you guys want a Supreme Court? "India is a Union of States" is a gramatical formation. can you say "India is a Centre of States".. the real messaging is in Tamil communicated by other #D , which yall dont understand.
Most Indians are not curious people. Why is a mere word substitution such a big issue? Who cares.. if you use one synonym or another? I certainly dont care Tomaato Tomatoe..
So there is something else there innit.. the next step requires 'curiosity'..

#JNUVioence , Late #JJ and #Dravidians - this tweet may not be appreciated at all - more than sometimes truth hurts and it is bitter too; the comparatives which i am quoting may not be palatable to many - but then it is my view on the subject which is #Violence and that alone 2/3
2. i have seen late #JJ at close quarters for over 2 decades, both as a star and as a politician - she was mentored by a legend #MGR and he had his own doubts whether she will be handle the mantle - she did great credits to her mentor and teacher - and out did his 3/4
3. his achievements in more than one area - but alas she fell to an emoitional quotient and that was her nemesis, indeed; she was one who was not scared of political reprecussions at any given point of time - 1.2L government servants - know this in reality - 4/5

desires of sense discarded,
knowing conditioned things decay
be Knower-of-the-Uncreated"
