I am not sure if I have become a Sanghi, but I will share how I became a nationalist. My periamma is very good at preparing Kesari. I went to her house while I was in my school days, and she had prepared Kesari on that day. (1/n)

As I ate her famous Kesari, I asked what was the special occasion. She replied, "Our Abdul Kalam has become the president of India."
Her patriotism infused much more sweetness in me than her kesari. (2/n)

When Modi became PM, I hadn't heard of him, and I remember seeing him bow in the parliament steps before entering first time. The very scene brought enormous respect towards him. (3/n)
It disappoints me whenever D-stocks opposes when something good happens for the country like infrastructure, National security, Unity.
Despite being more intellectually attuned to their ideology, their double standards towards religion moved me away from them. (4/n)

They project themselves as guardians of other religions in TN but when it comes to Hindus, they argue that Tamils don't have any religion. Even today I can't logically reason out why any of the DMK chiefs never wish for any Hindu festivals. (5/n)
Slowly I started to see that DMK wants to be the monopoly of religious politics in TN as they do politics with C's and M's votes. During the last election, many churches in TN openly conducted sermons against Govt and polarised their people religiously. (6/n)
It pains me to see DMK has become the instrument to divide the nation in the name of religion. Besides, their stint with anti-social elements made it impossible for me to stay with them. And when they start abusing sadhguru baselessly, that was a final nail in the coffin. (7/n)
Lastly, the #MakingOfTNSanghis is only because of D-stocks. Nothing else. (8/n)
If only they knew the diversity of this nation, if only they understood the ancient ethos of this country, if only they respected the multifaceted traditions of this land, if only they tasted the sweetness of Kesari, they would understand what it takes to build this nation. (9/n)
