It’s been 67 days since #Akash’s body has been lying in the mortuary at Madurai GH. The family is demanding action against the cops responsible for his death in police custody. So far, no action has been taken. Background: youtu.be/4k0RPL62RnM?si…

Upper castes taking EWS reservation: Poor deserve support 🥺 Dalit/Adivasi taking reservation after centuries of caste oppression: “MERIT IS DEAD 😡” The hypocrisy writes itself.

My interview series on Bengal beyond elections launches soon. The guests and I discuss how Bhadralok Hindu and Syed-Ashraf Muslim elites collaborated in the exploitation of Hindu and Muslim Dalits. 3 episodes, 500 years of history, two persecuted communities.

One of tvk’s (and Tamil Nadu’s) important victories (if indeed they are not interested in surrender to bjp) is the Avinashi seat. That candidate, S.Kamali, delivered a decisive victory against L.Murugan, and that TVK doesn’t see it as important to promote her should tell us a lot

Brutal verdict on DMK governance :)

பிரைவேட் பார்ல உக்காந்து குடிச்சிருந்தா இப்படி கிண்டல் பண்ணுவீங்களா? ஒரு சாதாரண டாஸ்மாக்ல உக்காந்து குடிக்கற நடுத்தர வர்கம் சட்டசபை துணை சபாநாயகராக வரைக்கும் போயிருக்கார்னா அது நல்லதுதான். தவெக்கான்ஸ அடிக்க ஆக்கப்பூர்வமா நிறய வழி இருக்கு. ஆனா, வர்க பின்னணி காட்டி அடிக்கறது தவறு.

End of term and among my reflections is this — Ambedkar’s Annihilation of Caste is a great text to teach in 2026 America. Students see parallels and connections with their lives. And, separately, it gives them a meaty introduction to the intellectual life of 20th-century India.

And we are supposed to believe that this same court has the competence to decide on how UGC should or should not frame regulations to stop caste-based violence on campuses? Good joke

If judiciary does one job with perseverance and has been consistent with it, it is how to dilute constitutional safeguards for Dalits. Within a week, we have judgements: celebration of Dr Ambedkar's birthday is noise, Dalit identity is local, bail is allowed in atrocities cases.

One-third of all prisoners under preventive detention in India are from Tamil Nadu, according to NCRB’s 2024 prison data. Among them, Dalits account for 31.2% of detainees, despite forming only around one-fifth of TN’s population. The data also shows a large number of detainees are young and from economically vulnerable backgrounds. Police defend preventive detention as necessary to control crime and violence. But lawyers and rights activists argue that these laws are increasingly being used beyond exceptional situations, pulling more first-time and marginalised offenders into the system. Worked on this story looking beyond the numbers and into what preventive detention really means in practice. @xpresstn Read Here : shorturl.at/uZISR #Prisoners #Tamilnadu #Goondas

@Ajanthan214 If you exclude crocodile tears from her post. Her post is 1000% accurate. If you loved your land you would invest heavily into it. Where is the foreign investment?

Calling genocide remembrance 'crocodile tears' is exactly what perpetrators count on. The UN documented war crimes. 40,000+ civilians died in Mullivaikkal. Diaspora fled that violence — their testimony isn't agenda, it's evidence. Silencing memory doesn't erase history.

I’m currently working on a public-interest “TASMAC Scam Watch” web app to help citizens report TASMAC-related issues like overcharging, lack of billing, liquor quality concerns, and transparency gaps. Web app: tasmac-scam.vercel.app For this, I’m trying to access publicly available shop wise details from official TASMAC websites: tasmac.co.in
tasmac.tn.gov.in However, both websites have been down for the past few weeks. Requesting the concerned Minister and officials to kindly restore access to these portals, as it would greatly help public transparency and citizen-driven reporting. @TVKVijayHQ @AadhavArjuna @BussyAnand @CTR_Nirmalkumar @imrajmohan

Funny watching some handles discover The Great Hack and Cambridge Analytica now. This was already major news in 2019. If you still do not understand how social media shapes elections globally, you are naive and need a reality check. Examples in the thread.
