Libbi here observed that Brahmins of Pune still pronounce the ण​ in the Marathi written language properly by curling their tongue backwards, and others have dropped that and merged it with न sound which is the dental “n” sound. She wanted to write how maintaining the tradition of linguistic retroflexion is casteist. But she was too dumb to google the terms like “retroflexion” or “dental” that describe the difference between the consonants न and ण​. So, she just used a random word “nasal” and describes the retroflex ण​ as “nasal n”. Roflmao. The fun fact is that both न and ण​ are nasal sounds (you get a hmmmm coming out of your nose when you pronounce both the consonants). Can’t even google for the appropriate term and these geniuses have come to write articles titled “How the nasal na insists on Marathi’s caste hierarchy” 😂😂😂 If brahmins speak the language based on how it is written , it means that they have still preserved the older pronunciation of the language that prevailed when it was first written down . It is others who have changed their pronunciation. Also retroflexion , if at all it goes, is the most indigeneous thing to the subcontinent 😭😭😭 There is nothing more that is a sign of indigenity to the subcontinent than retroflex sounds. Most languages that has been here for a long time in the subcontinent (no matter the family - Aryan, Dravidian, Munda, Iranian) have developed phonemic retroflexion ; even Pashto, which is an eastern dialect of Persian, spoken in southern Afghanistan has developed retroflex consonants ffs 😭😭 Akhand bharat ≈ retroflexed Bharat (see map) Retroflexion is the last thing that is brahminical and Aryan. No other Indo-European languages outside Indian subcontinent have phonemic retroflexion. Retroflexion is an indigeneous feature of the Indian sprachbund (language area). Kudos to the brahmins who proudly flex their tongue backwards and carry on the indigeneous tradition of retroflexion that even the moolnivasis are losing. @Ugrashravas Link to the article : scroll.in/article/109246…

@jayasartn it's a matter of blast radius

Thuglak's Idhaya predicts a DMK return to power. While that is a matter of concern, between the two, DMK’s 'theeya shakti' is preferable to TVK’s 'mooda shakti'

@jayasartn what do the planets tell ma'am? the parabhava varusha panchanga patanam i was listening to on April 14 sounded so bleak that it struck me as an omen that DMK would return.

Breaking: Both NDTV and Republic’s exit polls project a DMK lead. If past trends hold, this points to an ADMK victory.   DMK has consistently won exit polls only to lose the final count. The fear factor surrounding pollsters evidently continues.   The one consolation is TVK’s failure to gain traction.

@Aprameyah_ former derives from Tamil name, latter from Telugu

The biggest pysop has been convincing people that Madras is English and Chennai is Tamil.

@Ondippulee this beats how tayir sadam was introduced by Humayun and named in honour of the kind old lady named Tayir Saddam who treated the exhausted emperor in exile while in Iraq(😂) with rice soaked in fermented milk garnished with pomegranate. fyi smarkhand originates from samar+kandam

If you have this far, please share the thread far and wide. Please follow the OneTrue historian @Ondippulee x.com/i/status/20484…

Story time alert 🥁 A tamil trader and hotelier named 'Appadurai' travels to Samarkhand during the bronze ages. His aim is to establish trading relationship with Kazakhstan and Tamilagam. In addition, he wants to open his bed and breakfast in Kazakhstan.

@TheGopalan everyone in tamilnadu in the 80's and 90's knew it thanks to gokul santol. interesting that it is their 'trademark'!

In Tamizh we call him Ala ilai Krishna (ஆல இலை கிருஷ்ணா) Vatapatrasayi in Sanskrit - in both languages it means "Krishna who sleeps on the banyan leaf" This beautiful relief is on a pillar in Partha Sarathi Temple, Chennai

@jayasartn @annamalai_k Annamalai is a generational talent traded-off at the altar of political convenience by BJP. It should have been Annamalai *and* alliance, not *or*, cos this is do-or-die for ADMK more than BJP. BJP decided to play it safe, too safe.

Only @annamalai_k gives an identity for the BJP in TN. Unless the state party comes under him, TNBJP cannot make an impact among the electorate.

@jayasartn @annamalai_k When Dayanidhi Maran (whose mother is a brahmin, so is his wife) in the floor of the Parliament, attracted Nirmala Stitaraman with a slur, not a single BJP leader as much as issued a peep, including the FM herself. Only Annamalai defended her.

@TruthAlone2 கந்தசாமின்னு நெனச்சா நா ஜக்குடான்னு மாஸ்க கழட்டி செம ட்விஸ்ட் குடுத்துட்டான்

@TruthAlone2 good! lifespan increases by 4%😝😝

அப்போ இன்னும் கூடுதலா ஒரு மணி நேரம் இந்த சந்துல இருக்கனுமா??🙄🙆‍♂️

@jayasartn looking forward to the volumes ma'am. hope these two volumes will help me in teaching my son enduring bakhi for rama.

Tomorrow is Shukla Navami in Mesha maasa (Chithirai), with Sun in Mesha rasi. This is the "original" Sri Rama Navami date — still observed only in Srirangam Temple. Yet we celebrate Rama’s birthday in Panguni (Meena maasa), on Chaitra Shukla Navami when it coincides with Punarvasu, Rama’s birth star. Valmiki Ramayana clearly places Rama’s birth in Mesha maasa. So why don’t we get that combination now? Why this discrepancy? And when did it start? I’ve solved this mystery in my book "Ramayana 5114 BCE" — a book of 1000 pages in 2 volumes.

@ani_digital @ANI superstar evolved into a red giant 😁😁

@MillerMania24 @Sriram_reddyy @Jennnyyyyyy (m+1)(n+1)-1 = m.n + m+n same as the heuristics others have used.

@Sriram_reddyy @Jennnyyyyyy It is 44, add 1 to both numbers, multiply them by each other, subtract 1 from the final number

What will be the missing number? 🤔 Difficulty - Hardest 😉

@RavigBala @adarshahgd can you pls explain? you mean rama raya's choices?

@adarshahgd Heard a story that th empire which was supposed to be 2000 years by one mistake it was about 200 years

Today is the Jayanti of Jagadguru Vidyaranya Mahaswami...🙏🕉️🚩 Through Hakka Bukka Brothers he established Haindavi Vijayanagara Empire, for this he is known as "KarnatakaSimhasanapratistapanacharya" 🙏

@JyotiKarma7 giving women 1/3rd ensures that hardworking grassroots men --majority in politics-- can never rise in their parties. bringing it to prove a point will only normalize rabri devis all over the country. but who can argue against emotional blackmail?

Saif Ali Khan's sister is now joining the anti national brigade because she would like to challenge govt on *women's reservation bill * Is she saying elected MPs must step down to get women MPs midway? On what basis will those women get the post? Why is delimitation exercise a hurdle to these dimwits? Let women also earn the post right?

@jayasartn rajiv gandhi reduced it from 21 to 18 (rem they had 2/3rd+). with the hope that impressionable kids who became 18 during is tenure would vote for him '89. it was described as empowering the youth and reposing confidence in them. no one would dare let go of this goldmine😁

Raise the voting age to 25. By then people are chasing jobs, paying taxes, and serious about life. At 18, most have no responsibilities and no stake in the future. They’re impressionable — fertile ground for populists like Vijay. Voting age must be changed. #TN_Election

@labstamil ஓடச்சே சொல்ல வேண்டி தானே அதிமுக கூட்டணிக்கே ஓட்டு போடுங்கன்னு! எதுக்கு கன்பியூஷன்? இந்த பாயிண்ட்ஸ் எல்லாதையும் திமுகவும் தோற்கடிக்க போறதா தானே சொல்லி ஓட்டு கேக்கறாங்க? நாம மட்டும் என் இப்பிடி apologeticக்கா. இப்பிடி பொதுவா சொன்ன மட்டும் ஒங்கள சங்கி இல்லேன்னா சொல்லிட போறங்க?

Pls vote for a coalition that's capable of defeating the mighty hateful forces. Think of the L&O situation, of unchecked SM hate, of drug abuse, women safety. Let go of past scuffles & vote for our future. ஒன்றுபட்டால் உண்டு வாழ்வு, நம்மில் ஒற்றுமை நீங்கிடில் அவர்கட்கு வாழ்வு!

கல்லு மாதிரி இருந்த மனுஷன். யாரு அவர் கிட்ட என்ன கேள்வி கேட்டாலும், " நான் யார் தெரியுமா, எங்க அப்பா யாரு தெரியுமா, எங்க தாத்தா யாரு தெரியுமா, நான் எவ்வளவு படிச்சிருக்கேன் தெரியுமா, நான் எவ்வளவு பெரிய Bank லாம் வேலை செஞ்சிருக்கேன் தெரியுமானு" கெத்தா பதில் சொல்லுவாரு. சமூக வளைதளத்துல அவரை எதிரித்து அறிவுப்பூர்வமா என்ன கேள்வி கேட்டாலும் சளைக்காம படக்குனு ப்ளாக் செஞ்சிடுவாரு.. இப்படிப்பட்ட மனுஷனை அழ வைச்சுட்டீங்களேடா...☹️🙄 இரண்டு வாட்ச் இருந்தும் பண்ணையாருக்கு தேர்தல் களத்துல நேரம் சரியில்ல போல..
