As expected. #Periyar #Dravidian is spreading in Bangalore see the coverage in Tamil media on Chetan Kumar (some kannadiga actor)
You can already see the premises are being set up

observe this:

"எல்லோரும் சமமாக பிறந்தாலும்.. பிராமணர்கள் மட்டுமே உயர்ந்தவர்கள் மற்றவர்கள் அனைவரும் தீண்டத்தகாதவர்கள் என்று சொல்வது மிக பெரிய முட்டாள்தனம்.. இது ஒரு புரளி ஏமாற்று ""
Let me explain> The strategy here is to construct a conception of a "Non-Brahmin" in Karnataka and use the same strategy of canards and defamations against the Kannada Brahmin as they did in Tamil to secure this "split"
The tamil attributed to Periyar EVT I tweeted translates to "even though all are born equal , to treat only the brahmin as superior and *ALL OTHERS* as untouchables is foolish. It is a rumor and cheating"

I concur, it is the scam of the millennium.
Now you can see the early stages : consolidating all others as a "Untouchable" and then training the guns on KA Brahmins as the cause of that . Exactly what happened with the "all Tamils are sons of concubines.." This is the foundation.
In general decent people do not want to confront this type of targeted hate ; so the non-Brahmin gentry they will offer an olive branch --> we arent talking about you, in fact you will be the big winners here.

most will make peace , but that means handing over political power.
Can this model be replicated in Karnataka? I am skeptical because a) it is coming too late. the foundation material in form of mass pamplets and material arent there. b) the major KA castes are institutionally strong - vokkaligas/lingayats.. c) inherent decency & decorum.
But what I learnt it : given the right conditions a 'sartrean raising the temperature against a target out-group' can result in consolidation of the in-group. this is what happened in TN 2019 and 2021.. the campaign rode on saturation #AntiBrahmin agitprop.
Hence I have learnt that pristine societies may not have been 'tested' with this type of stressor. Will they show anti-fragile response? we have to see, but it will be tried. It is shown to be a winning strategy. Many of the immigres bring this with them to other societies

OK. looks like 153(A) , 504, 505, and Sec 67 of IT Act. the full spectrum of criminalizing free speech is pressed here. A big issue right now in TN cc @TweetinderKaul
See the magic in #Dravidam is

Sec 153(A) has a #TamizhBrahmin exception baked in. This is extended to Sanathana Dharma an oblique reference to Hindu.

Every speech of Subavee Nellai Kannan #D and Karu Palaniappan is a potential 153(A) crime .. yet that is allowed.
Real issue with that two bit rowdy saattathorai is he barged trespassed into a private property and intimidated owner into making a type of confession. Rowdy is now arrested on flimsy charges in this FIR..

அட .. சந்தோஷத்த பாரு.😂😂

இதன் பெயர் critical disruption -- இதெல்லாம் ஒரு மதசார்பற்ற அரசு செய்யக்கூடிய வேலையே இல்ல. பொது மக்கள் தமிழில் அர்ச்சனை விரும்பினால் தானாகவே அது default ஆக மாறி இருக்கும். 1/
செக்குலர் வாக்காளர்களால் - அதாவது கிறஸ்தவர்,முஸ்லீம், கடும் இந்து விரோதியான திராவிடர்களால் தேர்ந்தெடுக்கப் பெற்ற அரசு. தன் அதிகாரத்தை வைத்து ஒரு குறிப்பிட்ட மக்கள் விருப்பத்திற்கு எதிராக வெப்ப அழுத்தம் கொடுக்கிறது.
சட்டங்கள் பொதுவாக இருக்க வேண்டும். சர்ச்சுகளிலும் மசூதிகளிலும் "default தமிழ் தான்" என்று அறிவிக்க தயாரா? இப்படி நம்ம பசங்க கேட்பார்கள்

Who is Professor Dr J. Jeyaranjan? Chairman of SDPC (Tamilnadu State Planning Commission). He is presented as an accomplished economist. Sun TV has a profile, but it does not go deeper.

Now I do not care who the duly elected #D govt appoints to what position.

I am concerned about the celebrations in #ATB (Anti-TBrahmin) core #D circles.. that he is some kind of intellectual nemesis who makes Brahmins squeal (word is Kathara..கதறல்)
Dr J.Jeyaranjan got his MSc from Madurai Kamaraj in Maths in 81.. then a PhD from MIDS (Madras Inst Dev Studies) in 1995. MIDS is a Dravidian research institution.

so I embed Kulukkai videos (popular dravidian youtube channel) They disable embedding feature for their videos. how closely they watch. Image
not the first time. I linked to a youtube video - an interview with Dravidian intellectual Suba Vee which had tens of thousands of views. They made the video private.. it was telecast in mainstream with a legit interviewer. #D Image
This was my article about it -- the upshot was this.

"If you break Periyar statue ..
we can break Tbrahmins houses (agraharathai
idikkalaama)"

note 👉 it is not 'we will break Savarkar statue in return"

Okay, seeing blank faces. Here is how the fallacy works in Dravidian - if you work in "Policy" or "India Liberal Intelligentsia" this is go above your head. Hence you will dismiss as 'silly'.

Maalan -> came from Uzbek
Babur -> came from Uzbek

same? purpose of this?
This is to 'reduce' Maalan to Babar. This logic is actually a danger to muslims, but Drav do it anyway.

Similar to reducing UVeSa to Bishop Caldwell.. both are foreigners contributing to Tamil.
This fallacy ignores the "Time" aspect. Dont contest the steppe part. EVEN if Maalan (A #NonDravidianStock ) and Babur are from same place. Maalan came 3000 years ahead of Babur, or 2500 or whatever. So there are two aspects

1. first possession
2. civilization development

hmm... Imagine that Left+Congress went to ZERO in WB and lost KL big and broke the anti-incumbency pattern. They arent crying. BJP guys groan they went from 0 to 77.

Today I think CON is just a vehicle for #IOI/#D. Maybe that vehicle can speak better through TMC/DMK/Shivasena
Cannot overstate this phenom! You can see the dramatic difference in attitude of Mitrons who are crushed at a poll loss. WB/KL scarcely made a dent even for a minute. They are in high spirits because the backend can talk and project power though others.
Another phenom I found hard to explain - many CON Losses are dramatic, that is inconsistent with the normal decay you will find in purely democratic process.

BJP slides, CON wipes out.

Eg in Delhi for 10 yrs not a single MLA from a 15 yr reign . all lost deposits < 4% voteshr
