@babruvahanaa In southern tamilnadu if you want someone to write a name starting with 'B'.. they'll ask which 'b', AB or OB?.. means whether B after A , or B after O.
English
Even with 200+ alphabets they pronounce
Deepika as “Deeebigaa,”
Mahesh as “Magesh,”
Baahubali as “Bagubali,”
Padma as “Badma” 😭

@vajrayudha11 You are talking about Hyderabad Metro that has announcements in Telugu , English, Hindi and Urdu. What intolerance against Hindi do you see here?
English
Southerners be like…we won’t speak/tolerate languages of the Northern Hindus. But Urdu is most welcome Saaar!
︎ ︎venom@venom1s
Why is Urdu made compulsory in Hyderabad Metro? English is different because we are forced, and now the narrative has changed so much that English is linked to education and class. Now why force Urdu too? Isn't Hyderabad a Telugu city? Even if it's for non-Telugu speakers, Hindi and English are more than enough, right?

@blah_crypto @OnlyNakedTruth @ArunKrishnan_ Why do Chennaites not appreciate Srilankan cricketers and the Srilankan cricket team without their inherent bias?
English
@OnlyNakedTruth @ArunKrishnan_ Please define what is hostile to non natives
The Chennai I have lived and grown up is where there appreciated Pakistan cricket team for their performance and not with their inherent bias with Pakistan .
English
I had posted yesterday, about Chennai not being the least favourite option for non-Tamilians.
The usual followed: Language difficult. Food strange.
Really? North Indian Languages are as difficult or easy for South Indians as the other way around.
So is the food. Show me one north Indian cook who can cook a good sambar, vatha kuzhambu or aviyal.
So both those arguments don't really hold water.
One thing that I have noticed, after SO many years in Karnataka, is the low percentage of my fellowmen from the north, who even attempt to speak "Kannad". And I say this from just looking at my own friends' circle.
So while I agree that Chennai has some unique problems of its own creation, immigrants to another state also need to make an attempt to adjust and fit in. If you expect the state to bend to your way of life, that won't happen.
Ultimately however, perceptions shape where people move. So Chennai needs to figure out ways to attract talent. If it wants to, that is.

@PopatGuru @rock2905 @NandiniVenkate3 yes, that's true for teetotaler herbivore (non-human) animals, not for teetotaler humans.
English
@KhandeshExpress @rock2905 @NandiniVenkate3 Teetotallers and fermented food eaters have excellent gut micro biome that provides 40-50 gram protein everyday.
They have protein factory in their gut.
English
Protein is the latest fad.
My grandfather died at the age of 103. No Protein supplements. Only proper south Indian food. Same quantity every day. He used to have half a spoon methi seeds soaked in water the previous night, with a spoonful of curd, first thing in the morning.
Idli, dosa, sambar, sundal, Pesarattu has enough Protein for healthy living.
#Protein

English
@NandiniVenkate3 @VarahanSri My nutritionist has told me not to add protein powders or additives to my diet. Says it is not recommended and could be harmful if taken too frequently.
English
@rock2905 @NandiniVenkate3 What has being a teetotaler got to do with protein intake?
English
@NandiniVenkate3 Protein consumption is over rated… especially the grams per day per body weight nonsense…. South Indian Vegetarians who are teetotallers live fairly long with a good quality of life with just moderate daily exercise
English
@BansilTalpara @Neetivaan An unsolicited advice - if you want to consume 1.5 l milk daily for protein, you can make paneer or hung curd from it. It will remove most of the sugars.
English
@BansilTalpara @Neetivaan Are bhai, milk has lactose and glucose already, without you adding anything to it.
English
@BansilTalpara @Neetivaan 75 gm in fact. Super healthy.
English
@BansilTalpara @Neetivaan Yeah, and 50 grams of sugar too.

Dear Kannadigas, this handle denies that Bhoota Khola is an indigenous Tulu deity and Kantara was "carefully constructed fake culture copying centuries of TN"
Such supremacist chauvinist handles deny indigenous traditions of other regions to hype up their own. Do report it.
Bhuvaneshwari Ram Mohan@buvii
@labstamil Kantara was carefully constructed fake culture copying centuries of TN village gods spirit gods culture. Sanghis brains are alike beggar bowls, they mix everything and vomit, to keep people dumb and confused, for you can rule only dumb ppl. You eat your mixed shit of contexts.

@laksr_tn @sumanthraman @Udhaystalin @KartiPC TN or Dravidian parties don't represent "the south". Why do Tamils assume that they have some divine mandate to speak on behalf of the entire south India?
English
Please listen to what @KartiPC says in the video.
In common parlance that is how it is understood. I have heard PC sir, Thiruma annan, Thiru. KS Alagiri and several others use the term in their speeches. You can ignore Thiruma annan if you think an atheist's word should not be taken into account, but the other two people are Hindus.
Suddenly Annamalai army publishes a speech with English subtitles, knowing very well that the term has two different meanings in the south and the north and the English media pick it up and blow it up.
English
Sanatanam in Tamilnadu means Caste Hierarchy.
I have tried to explain this in every English channel I go to.
Mr. @Udhaystalin's mother is a devout, practising Hindu. Why would he say he will abolish a faith that is so dear to his own mother?
Vije@vijeshetty
Sanatana in Tamil Nadu means cast hierarchy - Karti Chidambaram

@Kal_Chiron What were the anti-hindu policies of ysr or jagan's govt? Apparently, you don't know the devotion of their family for Lord Venkatesha.
English
Concluded my Tirupati pilgrimage, 2026. Few observations since long time. Trying to articulate them.
1. The agamic and vaidik/sāmpradāyika traditions are so strong and well adhered to in temples. It is sheer pleasure to visit South Indian temples. The sanctity of deity is very well maintained.
2. Then why do I see so many Xians and Muslims in Tirupati? I understand largely due to anti Hindu state govt policies (ysr/jagan in AP, DMK in TN, Commies in Kerala). As I said yesterday, all drivers I met were ROPers. Deep (and seemingly genuine) devotion towards Balaji and Padmavathi Amma. Either taqiyya (or it’s ROL equivalent or perhaps first/second gen converts?
3. My question to ourselves is this - Where did we as a society miss out? Did we become too esoteric or distant that a section of our society is turning to other faiths (ricebag induced conversion is understood, but is money only problem? If yes then it is relatively easy problem to solve).

@db_is_db Kaladi (the so called Indian Mozzarella) of Jammu is a traditional cheese made without using rennet.
English
Milk is sacred for us Hindus. We do not add animal rennet extracted from the stomach of slaughtered calves, lambs, or piglets to make your cheese. Fine thank you, We are better off without 400 cheeses.
Krish Ashok@krishashok
India makes more milk than any country on Earth. Italy has 400 cheeses. India has roughly zero aged ones. Ever wondered why?

@bukkittengullll @Vinootana @SmtSudhaMurty @narendramodi "WFH is totally impossible anywhere in India" - How did Infosys operate during Covid lockdowns?
English
@Vinootana @SmtSudhaMurty @narendramodi She didn't mention WFH anywhere in her quote ! It directly contradicts Infosys Policy. WFH is totally impossible anywhere in India
English
I welcome our Hon'ble Prime Minister Shri @narendramodi Ji’s suggestion to citizens regarding the judicial use of fuel and the adoption of virtual meetings whenever possible. In light of the current supply chain disruptions caused by the West Asia crisis, such steps are important for our nation’s resilience.

With due respect to the great artist, This is secularized version of Bharat Mata by Sangh. Sadly It’s a far cry from Bharat Mata as imagined by Bankim Chandra Chattopadhya and our founding fathers.
Murti is infact in stark contrast with all the previous works of a great artist ranging from Shri Ram lalla to Gram devata that are dripping with divine aura. This one gives the impression of an artist whose creative soul is constrained by someone.

@prathgodbole @vvaayu you should check with the brahmanetar crowd in purogami pradesh.
English
Impossible. Most of southern India, hilly/mountainous regions, parts of west and east India’ve never had it. Even the regions where it was practiced historically, have seen a huge drop. In love marriages, forget dowry, even basic courtesy expense is contributed half by each side.
Goldilocks@ChiffonSaree
Dowry is practiced by 90% of Indian families and everyday there's 19 dowry deaths in India. Stop lying through your teeth.

@yaajushi @vajrayudha11 Ab kaunsa tide turn hona shesh hai?
हिन्दी
@vajrayudha11 OG "Bharat Mata" is in the form of cow and represents Prthvi.
Given the circumstances of the time, similarities to Durga and her lion were more advisable than to Laxmi (1st pic) or Saraswati (2nd pic).
Also, once the tides turn, won't take long to flip to four-handed formats.

@YRDeshmukh Maalik,
He said TODAY'S INDIA.
Not India of Nehru and Yesteryears.
English
What TN has shown today, rest of India has been doing for decades. Hindu majority states of Rajasthan, Bihar, Assam, Maharashtra and even Manipur have had Muslim Chief Ministers. Hindu majority Andhra Pradesh, Goa and Kerala have given many Christian Chief ministers. TN is just a new entry to that old club.
But the real question worth probing is: how many Muslim majority or Christian majority states have given any Hindu Chief Minister? Zero.
Forget Chief Minister, how many Hindu MPs or MLAs have ever been elected from a Muslim majority or Christian majority lok sabha or vidhan sabha seats?? Next to Zero.
Rajdeep Sardesai@sardesairajdeep
A Qs for those living outside Tamil Nadu: would any other major state welcome as chief minister in today’s India someone whose full name is Chandrasekaran Joseph Vijay . What TN has shown today, may India do tomorrow: respect our unique multi-religious, multi-cultural diversity and give everyone a fair shot at their dreams. ⭐️👍
