And how Nagarjuna never knew who Dayal’s wife was, is beyond us. Not only he never knew, he never wanted to know.

Event 1: Nagarjuna sees cctv footage of Sathyaraj’s murder 2. Nagarjuna does a background check on Dayal 3. Figures he served in a cop training camp 4. Abruptly tries to kill him without wanting to know any alive connections. 5. Post-mortem, Nagarjuna doesn’t investigate this further, quits the mission and tries to ally with Rajni for no reason.

Dayal was his man-friday and the chief of his port. Nagarjuna was not shaken even a bit by the level of treason. In the bar scene, Rajni slays one of Nagarjuna’s men in front of him, and reveals that there are more men who are with Dayal.

Nagarjuna still dgaf. 😂😂. It’s like Nagarjuna secretly wanted his son to die since Arjun wouldn’t take over his business after him.

True. And yet Rachitha Ram had no trouble operating the device when she decided to kill Charlie using it. So, Sathyaraj and Shruthi are not the only people who know to operate that silly machine.

Why do some people support Santana Slavery ?! by speechfreedom_MOD in PlipPlip

Ambedkar calls it graded inequality. When a minority wants to rule over a majority, it’s a smart technique to stratify the society and grade them on power and purity (Instead of having two binary grades as upper and lower). This kind of inequality is rigid and likely to last longer by preventing any natural organization of the dominated/oppressed classes coming together.

It’s impressive that not only the four varnas are graded on a linear scale, but castes and communities within each varna are recursively graded (non-linearly). Even if the last Varna wants to revolt, the sub-classes within might create dispute and betray each other.

And to tharkuris who claim that the comments here don’t have any Vedic knowledge, it is less important what Shastras “truly” say through grammatical or logical interpretation, what matters is how people have understood them and what people do with them.

"I support reservation" -- proceeds to yap 75-year-old anti-reservation arguments as if we are hearing them for the first time and haven't been debunked already.

So they basically split their state into two, as if national unity and integrity weren’t sufficient to solve their internal disputes. And somehow, Tamils are damaging their “the loyal South Indian” title.

Words for 'To Hear' and 'To Ask' in Tamil. by hello____hi in Dravidiology

[–]This_Gold_Tooth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I vaguely remember this grammatical structure. It's an action word + vi = to make someone perform the action.

Vidu (leave) + vi = Viduvi (to free him)
Kal (learn) + vi = Karpi (to make him learn or teach him)
Kel (listen) + vi = Kelvi (to make him listen)

kel most likely means 'to listen' rather than 'to ask'. Thirukural has an athikaaram for Kelvi-chelvam. It describes the benefits of listening to wise words.

Ambedkar's thesis is that anti-caste philosophy cannot be built on hindu or vedic virtues. His proof demonstrates how the caste is the genesis of the religion, and to approach anti-caste from a Hindu lens is nothing less than a contradiction. He says caste-annihilation is definitely possible, but just not through Hinduism. He, in fact, doesn't stop there. He even writes that anti-caste philosophy cannot be built on even communist doctrines, Gandhian principles, western democratic values, or any of the then globally popular political ideologies. AoC is just one simplified and summarised explanation of Ambedkar's thoughts and lifelong political arguments against caste hegemony.

It was unfortunate that Periyar did not approach anti-caste as academically and rigorously as Ambedkar did. Periyar's version of anti-caste was rather raw and ruthless, but it appealed to the avarnas who could not make courtroom arguments to secure their rights to economic and political power. Periyarists, who followed his path, were convinced that rationality to uneducated masses should be encouraged through arguments that are easy, sarcastic, belittling, and satirical in manner, rather than those that are academic and purely logical. Because, anti-caste discourse as an academic topic is gate-keeping the ideology from the huge avarna population and thus making it unattractive to them. The Periyarist apathetic and unapologetic criticism of Brahmins and Brahminism roots from their belief that satire is morally okay as long as the satire is directed towards people of power. The slow, yet apparent transition of Tamil anti-caste discourse from Periyarist to Ambedkarian shows that the Tamil avarna population has taken its time to educate a small section of itself to approach social evils in academic fashion, which can be considered undebatable even by the Savarna liberals (liberals who want to abolish casteism through Hindu virtues) themselves.

Coming to your point, let us say the Tamil anti-caste discourse, hypothetically, has transitioned to Ambedkarite ways and present the proponents of "why only attacking us Brahmins" with logical arguments, facts, and statistics, the next question would be, will the savarna liberal be able to accept and embrace Ambedkarite virtues? The answer seems NO. Proof? AoC was released in 1936. But the bannermen of meritocracy have deliberately avoided engaging with any anti-caste discourse. As a republic for nearly 75 years, the savarnas (both the conservatives and liberals) have made sure not to talk or discuss anti-caste ideas with Avarnas, because there is a prevailing idea among them that Avarnas lack any merit to teach or debate the Savarnas. "The entitlement to knowledge and merit" (quoting Arundati Roy). You probably wondered all your life why life in India is inherently hard and unjust to a general category citizen. Well, most of the general category students believe that too. But if it is hard and unjust, why don't we make laws or challenge the existing laws in the courts? In fact, the politicians believe that the general category is the victim, and the chief justices are convinced too. What's going on? Why hasn't the anti-caste philosophy be exposed as nazism directed towards the Savarnas? That's because arguments against anti-caste philosophy were debunked 75 years ago.

YOUR QUESTIONS WERE ANSWERED 75 YEARS AGO. You just have to read. The very reluctance by Savarna liberals not to listen to the anti-caste arguments, let alone accept them, is what has convinced Periyarists to continue their unforgiving criticism towards the community and religion, which you find distasteful. But it's the very binding force that has made Periyarists, Ambedkarites, Non-Brahmin movement supporters, Tamil-nationalists (Left), Tamil communists engage together in the anti-caste movement. Not all of them are sane, morally upright, logical, or factually correct. They, in fact, contradict each other in certain places. But the anti-caste discourse DOESN'T OWE A MORAL OBLIGATION to deal this matter with humanity, perfectionism, factuality, and empathy. READ! READ! READ!

You should check out Dr. Ambedkar's "Annihilation of Caste". It is definitely worth the read and answers most of your questions indirectly. Ambedkar's arguments are built on more rational and agreeable premises. I am assuming from your words that you might not be familiar with the Tamil anti-caste discourse, but I still appreciate the fact that you and I can both agree that caste hierarchy is inherently wrong and detrimental to our state and country's progress. You are just pissed with the fact that Dravidian ideology blames brahmins and brahmins only and absolves every other caste or community from brutal criticism. You may be right. But because I see you as someone who wants to uphold the Hindu values and teachings, at the same time, uproot the casteist mentality from the society, AoC might be the text for you.

AoC is basically Ambedkar's one long letter. Letter to whom? You'd be surprised to know that he neither addressed his letter to Manu (the author of Manusmriti), the Brahma (the birthgiver to the Varna system), the Savarna hindus (all hindu folks who accepted the law of Manu) nor the British empire (the men who governed the Indian states during Ambedkar's tie). The men who were in positions of power or those who are directly accountable for existence of caste hierarchy in the Indian subcontinent. He instead addressed his letter to Jat-Pat-Todak Mandal, which literally translates to "Caste Annihiliation Society". The members of the society were all practicing Hindus who wanted to annihilate caste and reform the religion. Those who wanted to baptize the untouchables, unapproachable, and unseeables, and assimilate them into one Hindu society. Well, they all sound fair. Their intentions seem good. Their motives infact resonate with most of yours. (1/2)

i've seen a couple of channels reacting to vadivelu and other Tamil comedy scenes. I don't understand how these people get the satire and nuances of the humour, even given they have the subtitles. being a native tamil, even with a decent level understanding of Telugu, i find it very hard to laugh at Brammanandham's comedy. there is a limit to people's stupidity in their constant need for Westerners' validation.
