This will be a pinned thread to capture some of my video and text based outreach on Dharmic topics in recent past (2020 onwards). Putting this here just for ease of sharing and ready reference. +

Centre proposes nationwide ban on paraquat dichloride over health risks to humans, animals The committee noted that paraquat dichloride has been banned or severely restricted in more than 70 countries According to reports, paraquat has no known antidote and even small quantities can be fatal. It was approved for use on nine crops in India, while concerns over off-label use and residues entering the food chain have strengthened calls for a nationwide prohibition. moneycontrol.com/news/india/cen…

Google translate version. Yes Telugu states overall lack the kind of deep anti Brahmin animus that EVRites espouse and also the kind of self loathing oikophobic Brahmins who tag along with Dravidoids.. We have had such strands of thoughts on and off and we continue to see such even today. But it isn't a potent force like it is in EVR land down south. May be that is why EVRism and associated Dravidoid exceptionalism and secessionist fantasies are contained only within TN and didn't make much of a dent in Telugu states. Although truth be told not all TN Hindus (Brahmins and non Brahmins alike) are like this. Just that a significantly high number of them are such unlike Telugu states where this ideology isn't dominant.

@poovannan_g @vellala_blood @halleyji @sridharkswamy For example regarding the justice party conference in Nellore in 1929, Periyar wrote in KudI Arasu that the Andhra NBs lacked the antipathy towards Bs/Puranas/superstitions and thus having Andhras Telugu ascendancy would flounder social gains made by Justicites!

"...segregation is essentially decency. it is a fundamental building block of true pluralism. separate things are separate and occasions & spaces are specially designed for convergence.." Ghor fringe trad award goes to Maragatham 😁
Maragatham@bhoomiputraa

the greatest problem with social media is the erasure of boundaries. not a popular view today, but segregation is essentially decency. it is a fundamental building block of true pluralism. separate things are separate and occasions & spaces are specially designed for convergence.

English reportage on this matter. udayavani.com/karnataka/apol… Such content should stay indoors within the sectarian boundaries. When it comes out in open into public internet it is hard to control tempers. Otherwise this kind of content is found across the board. Even in print. Sanatana debates.

@starsurya1992 Some Advaita proponents also have used such language. It cuts both ways. But these things shouldn't be on public media. Definitely not on modern day internet free distribution videos. Where context is lost and no gatekeeping can be done.

@starsurya1992 It shouldn't have been recorded. Once you put something out in a media that is open to free distribution it is very hard to curtail the backlash.

Nakkeerar. Avvaiyaar. Kachiyappa Shivacharyar. Arunagirinadhar. Siddhar Bogar. Pamban Swamigal. Devaraya Swamigal. Kirubandha Vaariyar. So you're telling me that all these saints, mystics and devout poets over a period of 20 centuries missed the real identity of Murugan and it finally took a Seeman, Arivumathi and Paarisalan to see the truth about Murugar? Huh? If you had a single Muruga Bhakti cell functioning in your body, you wouldn't be desacralizing a God who's so dear to our land just for your petty politics.

🔥🔥 Be ready for more this week. Uncomfortable truths that are hard to accept on the way. "ఈ శరీరము పుట్టినపుడు పుట్టినది, చచ్చిపోయినపుడు చచ్చిపోయినది, పూర్వ జన్మలు లేవు, పరజన్మలు లేవు- అట్టి విశ్వాసము కల మతముల యొక్క ప్రాబల్యము మన ప్రజల యొక్క బుద్ధుల నావరించిన తరువాత, శాంతి కొఱవడినది. జీవుని లక్షణము స్వాభిమానము. ఆ స్వాభిమానమునకు విషయము కావలయును. ఆనాటి విషయము ఆచారములు, గృహధర్మములు. మరియొక వర్ణధర్మము తనకు కావలయు నన్నది కాదు. ఇచ్చటనే సర్వభోగములు అనుభవించవలయు నన్నది కాదు. అది యెప్పుడును సాధ్యముకాదు. ఈ భూఖండమున నొక భాగమునందు జొన్నలు ప్రధానమైన యాహారముకదా! మరియొక భాగమున గోధుమలు! ఇంకొక భాగమున జలచరములైన జంతువుల మాంసములు! మరియొక దేశమున ప్రధానాహారము పశుమాంసము! అందఱు సమానముగా నుండవలయును!! సమానత దేని యందు? మనశ్శాంతి యందు. పొడుగు పొట్టిదనముల యందు కాదు, వృత్తులయందు కాదు, సంఘముల యొక్క లక్షణముచేత ధనము నందు కాదు." - విశ్వనాథ సత్యనారాయణ, "చందవోలు రాణి"

India was a tied #1 at the International Physics Olympiad (IPhO) this year with 5/5 Golds. I analyzed every single medalist upto 2021: 70% of them in the US! Many of these kids will likely go to MIT or IIT and then leave too. The brain drain is very real.
