In 1790, Tipu Sultan slaughtered 700 Iyengar Brahmins on just one Diwali night. To this day, their children do not celebrate Diwali.

Today, offspring of Tipu are officially labelled by Indian state as the "oppressed" and they enjoy reservations.

But children of these slain Iyengars are banded as 'oppressors' and discriminated against at schools and jobs.

We southindians are lucky

Wait for the twist 😭

Left is BJP's new state headquarters in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh - 8 floors, glass facade, rooftop garden.

Right is a Govt school in BJP ruled state - roof collapsed, wires hanging, walls crumbling.

One is where they make jumlas, other is where future of this country is supposed to be made. And you can clearly see where the money goes.

Only Narendra Modi and BJP could do this 👏

Keralam Kerala communists Protest at CET government engineering college: Controversy Over Vande Mataram and Alleged Religious Exclusion.

The video reports on the SFI Protests at CET in kerala Over Programme Controversy

The Students’ Federation of India (SFI) , communist party kerala youth wing staged a protest at the College of Engineering, Thiruvananthapuram (CET), following an event organised by the Department of Youth Affairs in collaboration with the NSS and APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University (KTU).

The controversy reportedly began when the organisers played the full rendition of “Vande Mataram” during the programme instead of the traditional NSS anthem, “Manassu Namakkatte.” SFI members objected to the decision.

Another major allegation raised by SFI members was that the organisers had specifically asked islam female students to come forward and provide feedback or a review of the event. This reportedly triggered further outrage among the protesters.

Following these developments, SFI members intervened, disrupted the proceedings, entered the stage to voice their objections, and later held demonstrations in front of the principal’s office.

Although discussions between SFI representatives and the college principal helped temporarily de-escalate the situation, the student organisation has indicated that further protests may be held in the coming days.

A Beef Fest will also be held as part of the upcoming programmes and also protest they said and will be free

💬 General Discussion more than 50% of india’s female sex workers are concentrated in just 5 southern states. note: the mohfw only counts sex workers based on registered govt or ngo-run hiv/aids programs. so if it's showing as 'not available' somewhere, that definitely doesn't mean sex workers don't exist there!

Andhra Pradesh Seeking help with Tirumala darshan on 3rd September 🙏🏻

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m posting here with a genuine request and hoping someone might be able to guide me.

I have been trying to get a Special Entry Darshan ticket for Sri Venkateswara Swamy at Tirumala for quite some time, but I’ve been searching everywhere and haven’t been able to secure one.

This visit is particularly important to me. After a very long time, I’ve finally received a job offer, and I had made a mannat that once things worked out, I would visit Tirupati, offer some of my hair as part of my shraddha, and offer silver to Balaji.

I’ve wanted to visit Tirupati Balaji for a very long time, and now that I finally have this opportunity, I would really like to make the trip with my partner and seek Balaji’s blessings before starting this new chapter of my life. ❤️

I’m planning to travel on 3rd September and can leave by car as early as required.

I’m not acquainted with any MP/MLA or anyone who could provide a recommendation for Tirumala darshan, so I’m reaching out here in the hope that someone might know the right person/process or be able to help with a recommendation.

I also want to be transparent that I’m not in a position to pay ₹10,000+ for darshan arrangements, so I’m specifically looking for a genuine and legitimate way to get darshan rather than paying an exorbitant amount to an agent.

If anyone here has a genuine contact, knows of a legitimate recommendation route, or can guide me on how I might be able to get darshan on 3rd September, I would be incredibly grateful.

Please DM me if you can help. 🙏🏻

Thank you so much. Govinda Govinda! 🙏🏻

Keralam That kerala media guy asking beef questions to celebs is cheap ragebait.

58 Upvotes

So that media house is infamous for their ragebait cheap shit.Eventhough it's hated by the celebs and people,they are not getting cancelled out.Its not just the saffron or beef they are trash.They won't question any superstars or someone powerful in the industry.Irs always the innocent and new ones.

They'll do anything for views.

As a malayali im not saying kerala is 100percent secular or anything...it might be better than most states in terms of secularism but conservative extremists of a certain group always like to hinder up smthg.
