Woke people understand what is going on with the PSBB issue. Y'all think you are interrogating your privilege. The other side are in the debate just for the fun and to amplify the defamation and eventually capture the institution. 😂😂

Woke discourse in a fundamentally liberal order - such as the west is a completely different game than 'woke discourse' in a spiteful society.

There are allegations flying .. any allegations of inappropriate behavior needs to be investigated no questions. Understand their methods.

One of the key distinguishing features of the Dravidian order vs the Western Woke is the invisibility accorded to one group. There is a concept 'positionality' and 'standpoint' - where the identity of the person is central to what he is saying.

#D accords total invisibility to their in-group members. So the nonbrahmin elites who have their own school chain alternatives are indistinguishable from the most deprived dalit sections and can speak for them.Or speak for themselves *through* them. Imposs in western woke context

'standpoint epistemology' is a theory that lived experience of an identity group form knowledge more than science/logic. In #D the standpoints of subaltern are erased. Instead what they have is "foregrounding" the elites themselves charitably promote the 'subaltern'.

You can see this pattern - introspection and self critique are totally absent in the Dravidian elite groups and present in abundance in the TB elite. Malarmannan has a great section in his book 'D Truth Fiction"

The western liberal order has self-critique as a foundation. A spiteful order will not be able to distinguish between self-critique and a confession. you think you are interrogating privilege but ''பார்ரா அவாளே சொல்லிட்டா.. மட்டமான ஸ்கூலாம் .. இழுத்து மூடுங்கடா..' 😂😂

the tamil " look they (TB) are themselves saying it is horrible.. lets close or <insert some other state action>"

Should it not matter at all? That there is such ingroup behavior and snobbery as alleged??

Yes it should , but only if that group is a "real elite" which controls the edu landscape and not a "propped up elite" with intention to cleanse.
