Odisha 2024 will dwarf Bengal 2019 in scale and impact. Naysayers who say things were as positive in 2019 in the state and then the BJP underachieved miss a few critical differences
1. Modi’s popularity in Odisha is the highest in any state in the country.

Uttar Pradesh isn't like MP or Bihar. It has had industries in the past. It, presently, has a thriving economy in its western parts. With the right focus , it can be India's manufacturing power house. The day that happens, the ways of Mumbai et al will change fundamentally
What's a Sudanese preacher doing in Ambur, north Tamil Nadu or for that matter a Malaysian in Ahmednagar? What's cooking? Regardless of the epidemic, India should make it difficult for Muslim preachers from abroad to get visas
A lot of Tamil Brahmins turning out as wokes is a result of at least two generations of parentage which raised their kids teaching them to hide their identities, not to get into "fights" and basically lead a life as a submissive, but financially, successful beta. Harshz, but true
Steady, relentless and pervasive economic boycott is the only non violent and legal solution to this problem. But, what to do one can't live without illish so let's appoint a bangladeshi। One can't go to the fruit market at 11th cross, so let us buy from the Malappuram guy at 5th
I voted Congress all through life as I wanted to see a genuinely secular India. It is sad to see the party of my dreams back hijabi communalists. There is only so much a secular Hindu can stoop. I , very reluctantly, back the modi governmemt on the incidents of the past few days.
Please celebrate Deepavali responsibly - with lots of crackers, lights and sweets. Don't let any power dictate to you how to celebrate your festival. Don't let anyone take the life out of our festivals
Gone by now if only Street Power could get things done. Today may not be a good day to put this out. But, satyam bruyat, apriyam api bruyaat. Keep the abuses coming. End.
Dear Ginnie, stop pulling off your “army brat” trick here. Army cantonment is an unique sub culture and it is not representative of wider India where dandiya and garba is a religious element. It is not an occasion for polytheism-hating skirt chasers to prey on heathen women
Dear maam I grew up within the army - and the one thing we were taught is that in India we celebrate all festivals together with a smile … so everybody is welcome to join so long as it’s their free will …

My analysis is that this is not driven by electoral calculations in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh. Mr Modi definitely knows that his party isn't gaining in Punjab and won't gain any edge it already doesn't have in UP with this move. It has got to do with the situation in PB (2/N)
The lord took the Vamana form to chasten his bhakta Mahabali who was mired in pride and self conceit. Mahabali, having realised the lord's pratyaksha, humbly offers his own head. This is the Onam story. May Thrikkakarappan chasten the modern danavas that plague parasurama's land.
Happy Onam! We celebrate Mahabali who did not discriminate by caste or creed , not Vamana who cheated him.This edition of harvest festival has something to celebrate. Kerala has announced floor prices for 14 types of vegetables in its drive for self sufficiency in vegetables.
Which has become toxic and alarmingly dangerous. May be the extent of the risk was miscalculated, but it takes a big man to own up to calculations that have gone wrong and cut losses. Moreover, Sikhs cannot and will not be treated like the other belligerent minority (3/N)
Classic case of the Tamil, who lives on the corner of the south, mistaking himself for south india. Sankalpa, sashakta are words well understood in other southern states. Best not to project ignorance so openly. More so, when it is suffused with arrogance.
Did not want to "communalise" this matter. But, liberals cannot sit silent.can they? The "We" that worship Ganesh are not the "we" that killed the elephant. The elephant is holy for the malyali Hindu. Guess, who doesn't consider it holy? That's the "We". From Mannarkad.
We worship Lord Ganesha and kill and abuse elephants. We worship Lord Hanuman & get pleasure out of watching monkeys being chained & performing degrading tricks. We worship and revere female goddesses and resent strength in women,abuse,maim them & practise female infanticide. 🙏

Guilt tripping Hindus on Bulli baai/sulli deals just to deflect attention from actual disgusting behaviour by Momeen blowhards across India. It is disappointing that many Hindus are joining in on this rudaali with snakes like zubair.
The Travancore Royal Family's victory today is a victory of Dharma. This was a family that would use Padmanabha's wealth to feed its poor during the heights of Victorian Famine. Even in such crisis situation, they would prefer starving over dipping into his wealth. Rajarishis.
Adityanath Yogi is not just a name but an upadhi earned after Diksha. It is not like Sonia Gandhi for Antonia Maino, a mere ruse to fool gullible desis. Congressmen should stop thinking that they're giving back for Maino taunts with Ajay Bisht
Chairman of the committee was Mannath Padmanabhan of NSS. It was built by the efforts of Shri Eknathji Ranade of the RSS. Stop making exaggerated claims for your family. Is your big talk about your degree and family an overcompensation for some other inadequacy in life?

Temples are not concert halls for al and sundry to perform. She is a self declared atheist and has no business seeking a space in the sacred premises of the temple. Temples like Srirangam have had Muslims like Sheikh Chinna Moulana as vidwans because he was devoted to Ranga.
Why should an artiste be Hindu to perform at a temple ? Bharatanatyam dancer Mansiya VP is muslim by birth and atheist by choice. Barring her is bigotry.
If a big corporate donates to the Irinjalakuda koodalmanikyam temple, will they ask their religion?
Murshidabad murders, gruesome as they're, is not a surprise to those who know Bengal. It is a rude awakening to those who think Bengal is full of effete Bhodro Bangalis going around singing robindro shongeet, reading Derrida and pontificating to all and sundry.

A sitting Prime Minster is making public rituals main stream. Take heart from that. One can always have complaints about the gaudiness but I will not let that haunt one's happiness about the larger change. As for those focusing only on the gaudiness, I have nothing to say.
The fact that illiterate liberals like yourself miss this Islamic imagery in Faiz's poetry shows just how clueless you all are. What does it say about Faiz when he equates dictatorship with idolatry and freedom with only Allah' name remaining?

These consistent attacks on the gods in coastal Andhra eerily reminds one of the last days of pagan Rome before it fell to the fanatic grasp of the bearers of the cross. These attacks are unheard of in the Tamil country that is often accused of being run over by evangelicals.

What passes of as amader blah blah in a certain class of Bengalis - utter medicority and decadence cherished as something to be proud of. That thing ought to have been taken off the roads some forty years back.
Those savouring meltdown by Ravish Kumar, Rajdeep etc don't know what meltdown means if they haven't watched election analysis on Tamil News channels, YT Channels etc. Of the many disadvantages of not knowing Tamil would be the inability to savour such epic meltdowns.
There is a reason why Telugu was the language of the court and of the arts in south India long after telugu kings ceased to be strong. The language's aesthetics cannot be equalled by the other tongues. This is as true as it is hard for kannadigas and Tamils to swallow.
All twitter gyaan is: the temple is being built by the reknowned Somapura family. One of the last well known sthapati lineages north of Narmada. Please do not think you know better than them. Shed your Ill informed arrogance. For once, wait for what emerges.

To give an idea about how those Vijayanagaran caps looked like -- here is the a group of traditional arayara wearing their headgear that dates back to the raya period.

The greata natesha icon of Palas taken away from Bengal by the cholas is displayed in a procession every pradosham in a temple in north TN. Otoh, the Somanatha was buried under a masjid in Gazhni for people to trample over. That's the difference. Don't be intellectually dull.
(Meaning every religious group did a fair bit of others’ religious place destruction, not just one particular group as people tend to commonly believe)

These are also "Ultra Orthodox" "Highly religious" people. Look @ how they adapt. Don't claim that even laukika vyavahara is God mandated and dictated by a book. Why? Because, dharma goes by context. Not by dogma. Liberals won't get it and continue to support fanatics.
All of zelensky's woke-ism and gender fluidity went down the toilet flush. When hard realities of life stares one, woke beliefs vanish like a bad dream.
Lallantop goes to Madurai AIIMS and speaks to North Indian students just to create a North Vs South debate on the eve of elections . No prizes for guessing which party is helped by this narrative.
Typical pattern here - blame Karnataka for closing borders , blame TN for not allowing dumping of medical waste. Use every opportunity to whine. If you're such a health bond, why do you want to avail medical services from other states? Heck, you even import rice from outside?
Unemployment discourse in India needs a fresh look. See a lot of youngsters wasting aways years to get sarkari naukri while they could easily have taken private job opportunities that have cropped up. This craze for

Yea the average Svetha Sundari going to the temple will automatically and easily understand every word of what Tirumamgai Mannar or Sambandhar Peruman wrote. After all they play antakshari on the pasurams and padhigams in tamil homes every day.
One of the features of this so called attack and invasion by Rajendra is that architects and shaivacharyas both were imported by him from Bengal into the Tamil country. Consequence: profuse influence of Pala iconography on later chola icons and lineage of Bengali rajgurus
This is the image of Shiva that originally belonged in Pala king Mahipala's Royal temple in Murshidabad (Bengal)
Rajendra Chola defeated Mahipala, took this image with him to Tamilnadu & installed it inside Mela Kadambur Amirtakadeswarar Temple where it is worshiped even today

The strangest thing about the political discourse in Tamil Nadu today is that the a vast section of its shrill opinion making class blame a party and a PM, whom its people didn't vote & who seldom had any role to play in the mess which was the creation of the state's own polity

Don't take employment in a Muslim country. If you do, have some brains and don't post anything political. Harsh as it might sound, no govt can come and save you if you get caught. I hope there is a social campaign against taking employment in the gulf atleast among middle class.
Yeah a 20 year old had a change in worldview as years went by. It is called evolving and ageing well. You,on the other hand, were a simp for the toxic congress back then and are a still a simp for a toxic cong. Basically, you’re a mosquito infested swamp that decays by stagnation
"IT coolie" industry is what helped generations of lower middle class and even lower class Indians to climb the social ladder, learn skills that would sustain their lives. Only a prick, raised by nannies and fattened by sucking at the mammaries of the state, would demean it.
A study of the ideological, social and political foundations and links of all SC judges who operated in the 90s, 2000s and before NDA 2 in 2010s would make a very interesting read. We might even get answers to why Teestas got immediate hearings, Chamberwale uncle's success etc
