@jayasartn @TruthAlone2 extent by which previous generation in TN is totally disconnected from gen z & gen alpha is astounding & shocking. not taking vijay seriously was the undoing of both dmk & admk. thus ends the political innings of mks & eps.












Singai Ramachandran, Kovai Sathyan, prof Kalyanasundaram ppl who deserved to be in the field and be the face of the party and a vibrant IT Wing that took their messages Thu Insta, WhatsApp, X . I think it is too late to even make such changes. EPS ran the campaign like a district secretary who is in collegium with 40 other district secretaries. He gave everything that every DS asked for. And they failed him.! And it is his leadership failure to not rise above everything an do things organisationally and strategically with allies.





I have always held & said Dravidian ideology is dead long ago, & Tamils want an alternative to both DMK & ADMK. Under Annamalai BJP was emerging in 2024 but it again went for short cut in 2026. If this wild card entry happens, it only means that Dravidian ideology is dead.


100+ seats for Vijay in Tamil Nadu? This is a 1983 NTR type earthquake in the politics of Tamil Nadu

This topic of reservation comes up often in these threads. People don't seem to realise that American universities have had strong Affirmative Action and Asian American kids (including Indian American kids) need far higher grades and test scores to get into top Universities. This is absolutely true in California even now - even though the law prohibits it and the Universities will deny it! On the other side, Zoho has thrived in Tamil Nadu and both AIADMK (MGR initiated the massive increase in reservation quota in early 1980s in higher education) and DMK have long maintained the same reservation policy here. It is a political non-issue in Tamil Nadu. Zoho has benefited from and has in turn benefited all the communities in Tamil Nadu. When private sector investment is strong (as has been the case in Tamil Nadu) reservation policy in education can help to create a bigger talent pool. When private sector investment is low, society becomes a zero sum game. This is why we must work to boost private sector investment in a big way, rather than fight about reservation. I repeat: Universities in California have very strong Affirmative Action programs too. And California also has had strong private sector investment.



TN Exit polls don’t look promising for NDA alliance and TVK.
