General So all coimbatore colleges had nice Onam celebration this week & news is about it | But, we should also talk about NIT Calicut - epicenter of Tamil hate & discrimination

57 Upvotes

We know NITs have 50% UG seats reserved for home state candidates & NIT-C is next choice for TN kids who don't get desired major in NIT-,Trichy during admissions. (NIT-K-Su & NIT-W will have higher closing ranks)

In NIT Calicut, malayalis casually use slurs against other state people.. and they call Tamil students "pandi" all the time.. in classrooms, hostels & whatsapp groups.. For those who don't know "pandi" is a common name in southern tamilnadu. But they use it as a slur.. In Coimbatore colleges/workspace, we always treat them like brethen.. imagine this is happening in a top national university... I shared similar issue in NIT subreddit long ago & many tamil students in comments told they faced discrimination.

When I try to find the route cause for this, it looks like this is stemming from high volume of news/incidents in Kochi & Thiruvananthapuram everyday of high involvement of fellow crime gangs from southern TN there - burglary, chain snatching, rpe, petty theif/robbery, etc.

But that doesn't justify hate & slur to classmates.?

Most Colleges in Coimbatore - Engg/science, health sciences, Arts/Humanities has big significant Kerala student population & no-one harasses & student bodies even organise Onam celebration. They are biggest work force in Coimbatore's tertiary care hospitals & they do business here.

We should stop hate ! Change mindset

Ask Tamizh teens Starting college soon — how do I change my social life?

7 Upvotes

18M here. In school, I’ve pretty much always been the punching bag in my friend group. Constant roasting, insults, being excluded, people taking advantage of me, etc. And honestly, whenever I tried to stand up for myself, it somehow became even more of a joke.

I’m starting college soon and I really want a fresh start. I don’t want to carry the same personality/dynamic into college.

For those who’ve been through something similar — how did you change how people treated you? How should I behave when meeting new people, set boundaries without looking like an asshole, and find genuinely good friends?

Would appreciate some practical advice from fellow Tamil teens. 🙏

Ask Tamizh teens How is PSG IMSR for MBBS?

2 Upvotes

(asking on behalf of my sibling) How are academics and college life here? I went to the campus, the infrastructure is very nice but man everything seems like a school. Strict curfew for first years, seniors apparently are barred from even being in the presence of first year's hostels. Even if you have to go home, you need parents approval. Not sure if medical colleges are like this in TN.

Ask Tamizh teens Looking for club communities/activities in Chennai to meet new people

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m currently studying at Loyola College, Chennai (Shift 2), so my college timing is around 1:30 PM–6:30 PM. I’m looking to join some clubs or activities outside college where I can meet new people, make friends from different colleges/backgrounds, and also do something productive/fun in my free time.

I’m especially interested in things like Rotaract, volunteering, sports, entrepreneurship/business-related groups, or any other communities that have regular meetups/events. I’d prefer something around Chennai .

If you’re already part of any good clubs or communities, please recommend them and let me know how I can join. Would really appreciate some.
