My family comes from an Agraharam in Mayiladuthurai district. As public education opened up opportunities, Brahmins were the first to move out of the village to white collar jobs in cities like Chennai, Mumbai and townships like Jamshedpur. Nobody drove them away. Many 2nd and 3rd generation Brahmin emigrants (who live all over the world) sold their properties in their villages because they moved on with their lives. After their retirement my parents spend a considerable part of the year in the same house my dad was born in. Today the street (which was earlier an Agraharam) has homes of people of all castes, they visit each other, take part in the joys and sorrows of each other's families. Hindutva politics has encouraged the creation of these imagined victim-stories of upper caste Hindus.

Yes, ban all monthly walkers pass. Are we having walkers pass in Anna Nagar Tower Park? Mangal Eri Park? Even the Marina Blue Flag beach remains non-ticketed. How is Adyar Eco Park more special? If it’s ecologically sensitive, restrict the cap as it is now but allow everybody under the given cap of 500 people a day. Not just those who can afford to book months-long slots costing 500/month. Even if these people don’t go daily, they book to go whenever they want, and the slots remain booked.

This whole loss is on Harry Brook btw - Dropped khawaja on 5 and went on to Score 82 (+77) - Dropped Head on 99 and went on to score 170 (+71) Target would've been 148 runs less if he didn't drop those And lastly! This dumb shot on crucial moment when partnership was needed
