Shudra from Su (Soo), meaning to produce, create, beget.

It comes from Sooth meaning connecting thread.

A child, because it is connected to the mother through the umbilical chord is called Suta, Soota. Shu / Shoo also has the connotation of being tender,
compassionate, nurturing etc., like in Shishu for a child that needs to be nurtured and handled tenderly.

Dra as in Dravyam denotes richness in material wealth, natural resources.
Shudra was the word associated with people who were not only resourceful but were also careful with natural resources and nurtured them well, besides being innately compassionate towards others and therefore rendering selfless care / services to others in society.
A trait that eventually came to be exploited, first by foreigners and later by the locals too.

Understanding Dravidian (Un)Tamil culture. 

For the Nation to understand what Hindus in TN are fighting against.

A Tamil identity and Tamil culture is entirely different from and even diametrically opposite from Indian culture and Indian Identity.
There is a movement in TN, that emphasis that Tamils have a seperate type of Spirituality, Seperate type of world view, A different way of life, which is totally different from Hindu way of life, in fact these groups argue that there is no such thing as Hindu way of life,
as The term Hindu in it self is a colonial baggage, 

This particular movement is getting traction with some significant number of youths, but majority do not subscribe to this view. 

This has to be exposed for what they are, UTTER COMPLETE FALSEHOODS,

தமிழ்நாட்டில் மீனாட்சிசுந்தரம் பிள்ளை, சாமிநாதையர், பாரதியார், கோபாலகிருணமாச்சார்யார், நடேச சாஸ்திரிகள், நாமக்கல் கவிஞர், புதுமைப்பித்தன் என்று எத்தனையோ பெரிய அறிஞர்கள், சித்தாந்திகள், கவிஞர்கள் இருந்திருக்கிறார்கள். இப்போது இந்த டிபார்ட்மெண்டில் பஞ்சம் ஏற்பட்டுவிட்டது.
அதன் விளைவாக, ஆசான்கள், சிந்தனையாளர்கள் என்றெல்லாம் தன்னைத்தானே வர்ணித்துக்கொள்ளும் ஒரு கூட்டம் கிளம்பியிருக்கிறது. இவர்கள் ஆல்-இன்-ஆல் அழகுராஜாக்கள். கதை எழுதுவார்கள், கட்டுரை படைப்பார்கள், கவிதையும் எழுதுவார்கள். ஆசான் இரகத்தை சேர்ந்தவர்கள் திரைக்கதையும் எழுதுவார்கள்.
படமும், தியேட்டர் விட்டு தியேட்டர் ஓடிவிடும். அவர்கள் எழுத்துக்களைப் படித்தால் வாந்தி அல்லது மலச்சிக்கல் வந்துவிடும். ஆனாலும், இதையெல்லாம் பொருட்படுத்தாமல், அவற்றைப் படித்து, மெய்சிலிர்த்து, இலக்கிய தாகத்தைத் தணித்துக்கொள்ளும் வீரத்தமிழர்களும் நிறையவே உண்டு.

TR Balu is the "collector" for DMK, like G.N.Azad and Ah Patel for congress. He devised a plan only to drive passenger feeder vessels or tug boats instead of cargo ships in real time.

The depth of the sea at the Sethu region is only about 11 meters to 15 meters,
and that too after dredging. Where as for a cargo ship to pass through you need a minimum of 23 meters for a ship with mere 12, 500 Dead weight ton. That too once in 10 years you have to re-dredge to remove sand for even a passenger ship to pass, which needs only about 5 -7 mtrs
So on Shipping companies not Liner services and World Port Unions showed any intrest to this selfish game of DMK.

If sethu was so vital for the world shipping route, it would have been done 100 years ago.
