Let us see what really happened in Madras Corporation Schools
Between 1950 to 1967 - number of schools went from 218 to 338.
Anna CM between 1967 - 69 - 11 new schools were opened.
1969 - 77 - 5 schools opened and 4 closed.
No change in enrolment
So much for DMK tom-tomming that they brought education to TN.
Across Madras State, what was the count of schools?
shodhganga.inflibnet.ac.in/bitstream/1060…
What is the situation now? ssa.tn.nic.in/Statistics.htm
Almost entire growth has been in private unaided schools, ie, money making opportunity for Kazhaga Kanmanis
Private aided schools have closed in large numbers. These were privately managed schools that were subsidized by the Govt. They will disappear or be taken over by unaided management in a decade. Govt schools are being closed down.

OK, here is another rabbit hole.
What's Ukraine famous for? Rich black earth, agricultural soil.
How much of it is there? 41.7 million hectares, 70% of the country's surface and get this - 25% of the entire world's black soil land.
2.5 million people worked on this land
8600 entities held between 200 to 2000 hectares, 22 entities held more than 50,000 hectares and 1 player - Kernel - held more than 500,000 hectares.
In 1991, Ukraine gave agricultural land titles to between 6-8 million individuals. In 2001, they placed a moratorium on large sales
The IMF recommended against it (of course!) and (surprise!) identified as a factor holding back the economy.
2020 - Zelenskyy lifts this moratorium.
Cut to 2024 - 9 million hectares of Ukraine's farmland is owned by oligarchs, MNCs, Saudi Arabia's SWF, American pension funds

Phule and Ambedkar are to today's Republic what Nehru and Gandhi were 30 years earlier. A classmate at school was threatened by our history teacher with suspension when he asked how exactly Gandhi had suffered in the Independence struggle. Anyone who questions the Phules'
actual contribution to social change or their intentions faces the wrath of the Indian State. If the earlier dispensation's mantra was 'Independence', today's is 'Social Justice'. Note how none of the slogans, then or nowm are backed by rigorous facts. Any questioning of the
facts is met with hostility. For example
- What is the share of specific communities of each State in Central Govt OBC intake? Compare it with their proportion of the State's population.
- How many communities are represented in both OBC and GC intake?
- Same for each State

1. The Nayanthara movie teaser is quid pro quo for her husband being given movie contracts by ruling dispensation.
2. Assumption above is confirmed by how immediately usual voluminous accounts like Angry Bird have picked up on it.
3. Earlier A2B and now this are part of the
strategy to rouse the troops for upcoming elections.
4. Beyond money and pelf, the core cadre base is animated by what I term the 'Dravidian itch'.
5. The itch must be kept live by frequent dose of rage (cue A2B) and titillation (cue Nayan)
6. Ignoring it will not make it go away, since the 'Hindu Right' is not the intended target at all, it is the Dravidian faithful.
7. Reacting with anger validates the itch.
8. TB accounts which seek to fix this should not address themselves to Dravidoids at all, but point out to

Next, what is to be done?
- Complete isolation of the infected State of Pakistan will mean that the parasite does not have access to the host's resources. This is why exclusion from IPL and refusal to play in Pakistan is important.
- In the meantime, immunization of host
in desh and treatment of infected populations. This is why popular media, cinema is important. This also explains the STSJ reaction to Nupur Sharma and recent movies. Sunlight is the next disinfectant.
Next, is another Partition imminent? My guess is no. The wiser among the
