In a land where Teachers were Once honored as the light of wisdom, Disrespect toward a Guru, today reflects how far society has drifted from its values.”

@RanaAyyub Really! They just found you to ask?

Thanks to Trump and his message to Modi, officials in the corridors of Washington DC power halls asking me about the West Bengal elections and the filmstar who won big. More importantly questions are also being asked about election manipulation and vote theft allegations

@ShashiTharoor However you slice that onion, Kerala remains an abysmal place for education and employment. You have a geographic advantage that has placed you alongside growth engines like Karnataka and TN. Do extend your human intelligence to these facets too.

One #KeralaStory from the recent election results that communalists should note: a Muslim majority constituency, Thavanur, elected a Christian, VS Joy; a Hindu majority constituency, Kalamassery, elected a Muslim. VE Abdul Gafoor; and a Christian majority constituency, Kochi, elected a Muslim, Muhammed Shiyas. Despite some influence from the national trends in favour of identity politics, Kerala remains a model of communal harmony, a state where people see human beings first and caste or religion later @incindia @inckerala

@suhasinih It’s called outreach and being in the news.

Question is, why would White House spokesperson be asked, and why would Trump issue a statement about State elections in India?

@RatanSharda55 @TVMohandasPai Anything built on hate has weak foundations.

I am embarrassed even to share it. Watched together these speeches will create horrible revulsion for #Dravidanists! Time to watch this video and understand what the voters of #Tamilnadu have eradicated.

@bhogleharsha Why? The team dynamics are so poor and HP does not come across as the cerebral sort.

I must confess I didn't see a team, as studded with stars as #MumbaiIndians is, come apart like this. The only possible indicator could have been that, Bumrah apart, the others hadn't had an outstanding T20WC. But nobody could have predicted this. I had thought aloud about a hypothesis on my YT channel that reputation is becoming a burden in modern T20 cricket as a possible reason. I don't know if all the forces within were aligned but that could be another. And the experiment with Hardik Pandya as captain is now 3 years old and it has delivered a play-off only once so maybe something isn't working there. But I bet nobody saw #MI not making the play-offs.

@anjanspace5 There is. It’s a collateral to the Mysore Masala Dose.

Being from Karnataka can I say something. There's no such thing as Mysore bonda. It's either Goli baje or Mangaluru bajji

@Jasonphilip8 Can’t you find some other drum to beat? Tamil this, Tamil that. Get a life man.

Tamil is one of the purest, oldest & greatest living languages in the world. Tamil loan words r even found in Latin,Greek, Sanskrit & Chinese. Tamil had a script since 3rd century BC. Loan words r found in all languages.

@beastieboy07 Good for the sport, when adrenaline flows!

Wow didn’t realise IPL rivalries had turned into this. I’m told it’s mainly more a #RCBvCSK thing. Guess this is what the creators of the IPL would have wanted it to become eventually

@Ellarakannada Very Tamil. There was and is a scarcity of vegetables 🍆

The Pudi (or Podi in Tamil) sprinkled over Idlis is actually a part of Tamil cuisine. No Kannadiga uses Pudi for Idly. Please don't generalize Tamil cuisine as South Indian cuisine. #KannadaCuisine

@Vikrchan You know who the idiots are, don’t you.

There are two kinds of people who come to Bengaluru.. The ones which come , love the city explore its nice things and things to do , attempt to learn the language , get involved .. try to be local and stay back The other kind is here to just crib about the city, talk about everything that is bad and what’s best in their own hometowns and stay back ..

@NkWarraich How did you get around naming kids after barbarians like Timur?

Why did we 🇵🇰 adopt mostly Arabic names? Many non-Arab Muslim countries (e.g., 🇹🇷 , Indonesia 🇮🇩 , and Bangladesh 🇧🇩 ) retained strong local naming traditions, using only few Arabic names. How we ended up being so Arabi-fied in naming kids, leaving our own culture behind.

@PLEKarnataka Let’s try to get Kannadigas to call it Bengaluru. That would help.

It is Bengaluru not Bangalore. And it is a Kannada city, not cosmopolitan. It is the capital of Kannada people & Kannada land. Learn to be grateful for the people & the land which has given u everything. We dont care who u r, respecting our land, language and culture is a must.

@Tejasvi_Surya I hope you will do better when in government.

This picture says more than a thousand words. It captures, in one frame, what our political culture has been reduced to. A national icon like Venkatesh Prasad, a man who brought pride to India, whose spells against Pakistan are etched permanently in our collective memory, is today standing with folded hands before a Chief Minister. Why? Not for any wrongdoing. Not for any failure of duty. But simply because he did his job. Because he did not anticipate that the brittle egos of politicians would be bruised. Because he did not bend to a culture that expects free tickets, special treatment, and unquestioned entitlement. This is the tragedy. When those who have served the nation with excellence are made to stand in deference, and those in public office demand privilege over accountability, something has gone fundamentally wrong. This is not just about one incident. This is about a deeper decay. A political class that sees power as entitlement, not responsibility should go. A system where excellence bows, and arrogance sits should go. A new generation of political class is badly needed at all levels. If this does not disturb us, nothing will. India deserves better. For whatever it is worth, I stand with @venkateshprasad. And I know, millions will.

@carlwheless Dharma, karma, samsara, moksha; diverse paths to ultimate reality. If your dharma is to fight so be it!

Today's question for my Indian friends: If Hinduism is a religion of peace, love, and acts of kindness to enter the afterlife, how does that square with service in the Indian military, where one trains for and is expected to take lives to protect their homeland?

@ragiiing_bull The Udupi restaurant was a brand created by the Kannada speaking Brahmin of coastal Karnataka, particularly Udupi.

Udipi restaurants thrived in Mumbai as long as GSB's ran it. After the second generation gave it up for higher education their businesses shrunk. Today the sambar served tastes more like sugar syrup & less of our true konkani sambar or kolmbo. Isn't it true my konkani friends?

@Neuberg_Diag Ridiculously slow service at YELACHENAHALLI’s Bengaluru branch. You need to hire people if you are short on staff.

@Ram_Guha Probably the start of a mindset that had a great distaste for his own civilisation.

In December 1908, after hearing Bipin Chandra Pal speak in Cambridge, Jawaharlal Nehru wrote to his father: “I objected greatly to his not taking the Mohammadans into consideration. Another thing which annoyed me was his repeated references to the spiritual mission of India. India, he said, was “God’s chosen country” and the Indians the “chosen race”— a phrase which reminded me of Israel.” Nehru was then nineteen years of age.

@ShekharGupta @sharanpoovanna The tragedy of it all.

@OmerGhazi2 @khanumarfa Hypocrites never change their spots.

Meet The Wire journalist Arfa Khanum Sherwani. (@khanumarfa) In 2022, when some girls in Karnataka decided not to follow dress code inside classrooms of schools/colleges and demanded to wear hijab, she argued that Hijab is a choice and it must be allowed for students. In the same year, in Iran, a woman named Mahsa Amini was arrested by morality police for wearing hijab "improperly". She collapsed in custody and later died in hospital. Her family said that she was tortured in custody. In this case, Arfa Khanum did not give lectures about choice and remained silent. Today, she called Ali Khamenei a Farishta (Angel). But when it comes to school dress code in India, she labels the country as fascist and cries Islamophobia. -Anshul Saxena
