Until about the 1960s-70s, Tamil Nadu was as poor as many other north India states of India which had more political representation and power at the Union. Tamil Nadu, today: 💰 Is the second largest state economy of India – contributes to about 9% of India’s GDP with about 6% of India’s population 🏭 Is the most industrialised state in India with more than 40,000 factories 🏙️ Is the most urbanised state in India 👩‍🏭 Is home to a staggering 42% of ALL of India’s women factory workers 🩺 Has 1 doctor for every 253 people according to a study, India has 1 for every 834 people 📚 Has a GER is 47%, while the national average is 28.4% 📖 Has a significantly higher literacy rate compared to the national average 👫 Has a more balanced sex ratio compared to the national average 📉 In multi-dimensional poverty index, India’s average is 14.96% while Tamil Nadu’s is only 2.20% 📦 Is the third largest exporter state in India 🚗 Is one of the top 10 automobile hubs in the world - accounts for about 35% of auto and auto component exports 🖥️ Is India’s largest electronics exporter 🔋 Produces 40% of EV 4-wheelers, 70% of two wheelers sold in India 🧵 Leading state in leather and textiles exports 🌍 Has the presence of 130+ Global Fortune 500 Companies 📈 Has the largest number of patents filed in India 🔬 Has the highest number of research fellows in India What is the main reason for this astounding transformation over the last several decades? Listen to this Brahmin thatha for the answer:

Blatant lie. I learned Hindi as second language (English as first) all through school in Chennai. Even today you can learn Hindi in most schools at least as the third language, and even if not enough other avenues to learn. BJP’s incompetence in handling situations like Manipur is only matched by their brazenness to lie and distract.

My timeline is two things today. TN government has brought Ford manufacturing back to the state. BJP is busy forcing a small businessman to apologise for pointing out his GST woes.

God these meme creators!! Terrible.

Calling all Modi bhakts in Canada to return to India and enjoy Amrit Kaal here instead of benefitting from an anti-India government and society.

Four jokers performing the Sanatanam version of 2000-note-nanochip newsroom banter.

No amount of money can buy this kind of national level visibility for an emerging politician.

Godi anchors getting fact-slapped by junta is a great election sport.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 “After a gap of 14 years, Tamil Nadu has recorded a double-digit economic growth rate in real terms during 2024-25 with 11.19%, according to the revised estimates of the Union Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation for various States. In 2010-11, the State registered 13.12%. Coincidentally, on both occasions, the DMK was in power. The latest revised estimates were prepared as on August 1, 2025. Fifteen years ago, the base year was 2004-05, whereas it is 2011-12 now. Former Director of the Madras School of Economics, K.R. Shanmugam, attributes the growth to the strong performance by the tertiary and secondary sectors. About five months ago, when the State-wise advance estimates were made public, Tamil Nadu’s real economic growth was 9.69%. The latest figure marks an increase of about 1.5 percentage points. Apart from having finished the topper, Tamil Nadu has accomplished what no other State has done — recording the double-digit growth. 🔗 in next tweet

In the end @ranjanigayatri and the rest of the Sanghi Brahmin gang have ensured that @tmkrishna has received a lot more recognition and appreciation for the #SangitaKalanidhi award. Otherwise beyond Mylapore no one cares for an award a bunch of Brahmins mostly give to other Brahmins for supposed excellence in a hegemonic music industry which is operated for and by Brahmins.

First line is how it’s the most painful situation of HIS life. Bro 41 others literally died. Cinema-karan narcissism vera level.

This is nothing but Vembuji accepting that this PM is corrupt - just that it’s also a terribly hypocritical, fraudulent and silly attempt to absolve this PM of the corruption by drawing false distinctions of “personal” corruption. Absolute BS that the PM’s corruption is not “personal”. That corruption allows him to remain PM, and that is incentive enough to be corrupt, one doesn’t have to stash money away in Swiss bank accounts to enjoy the fruits of corruption. This betrays a poor understanding of society and politics. This is why tech boys should stay in tech - you don’t even know the basics. Corruption is a problem regardless of whether it is “personal” or not. The issue with corruption is not that someone is making money, but that it’s being stolen from the people. Whether the money being stolen is used to buy MLAs or build palaces, people suffer the same. In fact the former is worse.

Billionaire arrogance is the bane of this world. Every major country has a few of these men who think having made a lot of money and having millions of followers makes them an expert on everything. If only he had any idea how much hard work it takes to push through progressive policies in a regressive society. And look at the dogwhistle when he mentions sexual transmission and young age. Sick. As a father to daughters, I take this extremely personally. I will give them the HPV vaccine, at the medically appropriate age, and I know that their sexual freedom is their business. None of us need ill informed advice, especially someone like him.

Never been happier to lose money. #sensex #electionresults

We have grown up with unbelievably disgusting role models.

People keep asking why only Tamil Nadu is protesting, are competitive exams killing students only here? It’s happening across the country. Only in one state are the people empowered enough and has the polity cared enough to raise the issue with such an intensity.

Not easy to praises from an FMCG corporate leader in today’s India! #DravidianModel

“There are two kinds of Hindus. The one who speaks for Sanatana Dharma is a different Hindu, the one who speaks for the Constitution is a different Hindu. RN Ravi is speaks for the Sanatana Dharma. Shankaracharya speaks for the Sanatana Dharma. Avaal (Brahmins) speak for Sanatana Dharma. The one outside Sanatana Dharma is poor Annamalai, poor Vanathi Srinivasan, poor Edappadi Palaniswamy, poor O Panneerselvam.”

Deeply unfortunate that one of the most respected and meticulous health journalists and newsroom leaders in India is being attacked by her former editor, and all in bad faith. Tarnishing her work with such baseless accusations is an attack on the decades of stellar and painstaking journalism that she has put in. And would madam rather have journalists do, talk about overflowing toilets like the cheap and heartless Sanghis at Dinamalam?

Tamil Nadu: Manufacturing Hub. Gujarat: Drug Manufacturing Hub.

Rape survivor wants abortion, judge says read Manusmriti.

Can fully attest to this. Free bus rides is a life-changing scheme for working women. Glad to hear a woman attending an event at ITC Grand Chola and speaking in English making this point. Otherwise upper class condescension for welfare schemes is what we usually hear.

If a TV news reporter who has supposedly followed politics for 10-15 years asks if a JPC on a massive stock market manipulation scam is a waste of time, how RG responded to that question should be the least of any sensible senior journalist’s worries. Maybe first try improving the average IQ level of your TV newsrooms.

Till people like @BhimArmyChief continue to give sleepless nights to hateful caste-apologists like Sai Deepak Iyer, the country will be safe.

A senior BJP leader and former Governor stating that BJP is full of anti-social elements is cause for alarm for Tamil Nadu.

For states like Tamil Nadu, it is now increasingly the case that that the state has to be governed despite the Union. The Union, under the present dispensation, isn’t an enabler, but a challenger. You don’t give us fiscal freedom, you don’t give us promised funds, you control policy, you choose who gets to grow and who sinks, you tax people to death, but people’s welfare is our responsibility - education, healthcare, civic infra, you don’t do your bit there.

World needs more students like this man. And more doctors. If he has understood this, he will be a fantastic doctor.

Another Sanghi hypocrisy worth admiring: “Congress didn’t do anything for India in 60 years” but, “Kamaraj has to be credited for the immense progress of Tamil Nadu, not the Dravidian movement.” After 10 years of loot, corruption, casteist and communal polarisation and economic downfall, Sanghis can only refute the good work done by others, for they have none to show for themselves.

When in doubt abt Sanatana Dharma, listen to A Raja. Old video. Gratitude to the good folks at @thenewsminute for the subtitles. YouTube video link: piped.video/eQbW4SHlZvY

The Dravidian Model of Growth and Welfare needs to be studied by policymakers across the world. The complexity of the policy behind this success can be explained by the simple idea that we must enable people to get what they need. Health, education, cash, jobs - whatever they need. Junk ideas like “merit”, focus on people’s needs, address social inequalities. Economic boom will follow.

Because they are jealous and seething with anger that @tmkrishna - their ideological adversary within their Brahminical Carnatic music ecosystem - got the #SangitaKalanidhi, Brahmin singer duo #Ranjani - #Gayatri have chosen the age-old, lazy, casteist and hateful strategy of attacking #Periyar. Their choice to specifically drag Periyar into their internal agraharam battle over an award which not more than 0.1% of Tamil Nadu know about or care for, is a political one. They know that by evoking Periyar, they will bring out the worst impulses of #Tamil #Brahmins who love to hate Periyar, and that they will be able to drive that anger against TM Krishna. We can rest assured that this worse-than-a-snake behaviour of the singer-duo will do nothing to change the stature of the great Periyar, but it is sure to whip up more casteism and hatred among Brahmins ahead of the elections. As India navigates itself through an era of heightened Brahminical hate directed at minorities and oppressed groups, Ranjani-Gayatri's statement is a reminder of the true character of the Brahmin class. Whether it is for our personal ego battles or an ideological one, Brahmins would never stop ourselves from whipping up hate against those who have attempted to reform the country. The continous, ongoing vilification of stalwarts of social reformation continue to irk Brahmins because these reformers continue to be a strong counter to Brahminism - decades after their death. For any Brahmin with an iota of conscience, not registering their protest to this hateful strategy employed by R-G for their internal squabble with TMK and the Brahmin administrators of the Music Academy is akin to participating in the casteism and hate which is being triggered by them. Silence is a choice, just as hateful as choosing to side with Ranjani-Gayatri and exposing a casteism mindset - which many Tamil Brahmins have done today. Glad that R-G have given us one more opportunity to spot and highlight the caste fanatics amongst us.

Why did DMK+ sweep TN? Two reasons:  1. Welfare 2. Alliance Both to @MKStalin's credit because he stood strong against pushback on both. Many said that large scale welfare would destroy the state's finances. Many did not want the INDIA alliance to happen, across the political spectrum. Yet he stood strong and went ahead anyway. The results are a clear endorsement of his strong will on governance and politics.

Mehta’s lack of understanding of caste and reservations, which he has shown to be consistent about for decades, is as outrageous as it is embarrassing. It is also because of such “intellectuals” that North Indian states continue to be the stranglehold of Brahminical leaders. You read this and you feel a little less sad for the institutional targeting of this govt against academia - because it is apparently just few oppressor caste bros fighting among each other over social capital.

We request Delhi journos to come more often to Tamil Nadu so they learn the casual truths of our lives which the rest of the country finds shocking 😁😁

Yes sir, too much to ask. First, you have to chase out the venomous footsoldiers of hate from your newsrooms. Reform TV news, hold your colleagues and owners accountable, and make them pay for the blood they have on their hands. RG losing patience is nothing compared to the naked bias and bloodlust your colleagues have shown in the last ten years. If you are not be one of them, stop speaking up for them. Let them defend themselves. Leaders of opposition parties will respond better when the media shows even the smallest sign of introspection and reform, so far we are only seeing arrogance and refusal to take responsibility.

Big! Young Liu says Foxconn will be looking outside of Chennai in Tamil Nadu to build more industrial parks and industrial housing. Foxconn factories with housing next to them - sounds like large industrial townships! Looks like Foxconn has big plans for TN. With their EV, AI, and energy storage focus, we can all guess quite confidently that this is going beyond smartphones now in Tamil Nadu.

Highlights from an important story by @thenewsminute and @newslaundry: - At least 30 companies, which donated a total of nearly Rs 335 crore to the BJP between financial years 2018-19 and 2022-23, also faced action by central agencies during that period. - Of these firms, 23 companies, which gave a total of Rs 187.58 crore to the party during this period, had never donated any amount to the BJP between 2014 and the year of the raid. - At least four of these companies donated a total of Rs 9.05 crore within four months of the central agency visit. - At least six of these firms, which were already donors to the party, handed out a heftier amount in the months following the searches. - Six other firms, which had donated to the BJP each year before, faced central action after they skipped donations in one financial year. - At least three BJP donors, who are not part of the list of 30, had been accused of receiving undue favours from the Union government. - Only three of these 32 companies donated to the Congress during the same period. Full story: thenewsminute.com/news/tnm-n…

Sanghi fellows are suddenly realising that GST is a disaster, that NEET destroys students, that BJP’s inherent Brahminism isn’t going down well with Bahujans and costing them votes. Ten years too late, but I guess never too late to see sense.

GST has destroyed Coimbatore.

Tamil Nadu’s electronics exports this year crosses $7.3 billion! More than 32% of national exports in the sector till Jan 2024. Two more months, will we hit $9 billion? South Indian states contribute to about 50% of the exports. @UpdatesChennai

2000 years of regressive religion enables absolute frauds to spew offensive superstition in front of hundreds of kids. 100 years of social justice politics enabled a visually impaired man to seek courage from his education, stand up and speak up against it when everyone else around was silent, and get the fraud to go into hiding.

Be it China or Tamil Nadu, the first step to economic and industrial progress was social reform. Except in Tamil Nadu’s case, it made the society and polity more democratic, less authoritarian. India must learn from Tamil Nadu, all the shortcomings notwithstanding, especially now that we are coming out of the last ten years realising that the economy won’t boom for all if your politics feeds people’s worst casteist and communal impulses. A strong, egalitarian and secular ideological foundation is necessary. I see a lot of technocrat Hindutva boys slowly accepting the failures of the last ten years, but that’s not enough. Accept that it’s not just the people, it’s the ideology which is a failure. Even if you feel Hinduism is under threat and needs to be protected, extremism is no way to protect it. Hinduism has flourished under the Dravidian movement, so much so that the movement can be criticised for that. It’s your refusal to see plain facts and caste-arrogance which is the problem. Flip that switch in your head, it’s as simple as that. The two sides of the divide are not extremists of two different religions, it’s those who choose progress and those who choose to be regressive. The last ten years have been regressive, and if you chose that side till now then you were also in bed with the religious extremists of other religions you say you hate. And because you chose that side, the failure is on you too, and will be yours till you remain on that side.

Fantastic, and must say somewhat Periyarist (😂), letter from @ranjanigayatri! By questioning the Brahmin hegemony of the MA, they are firmly placing themselves next to @tmkrishna. They are doing exactly what TMK did, and their supporters had a problem with: publicly calling out the casteism in Carnatic music. This is so awesome. Let Carnatic music internally combust in this fight between Brahmins!

“We don’t practice the SANSKRITIZED NORTH INDIAN UPPER CASTE VEGETERIAN HINDUISM” - @KartiPC

Upper caste liberalism in half a tweet.

What a KICKASS article on @TheEconomist on the #DravidianModel - and love how it ends. “All across India politicians find it easier and more appealing to seek growth by laying concrete than by pumping up skills. New roads and bridges make for good front pages and bring immediate benefits. The fruits from improving schooling, by contrast, come much slower. Yet unleashing the power of India’s young and massive population will require investment in health and education. It will also mean fighting obstacles, such as sexism, caste and environmental degradation that keep people from fulfilling their potential. This is far from easy work. But, as Tamil Nadu shows, it would pay off in spades.” economist.com/asia/2025/11/1… (free to read, only log in required)

😂😂😂😂 Sanghi bro gets a taste of Tamil Nadu. Kaavi thundu pottukuttu naamam pottukuttu balakrishnan balama Rahul Gandhi nu solraru.

Why Tamil Nadu for investment? Just one clip you need to watch, and not from the govt, but from a long-term investors:

“In 1952 Periyar brought in reservations for Backward Classes people in Tamil Nadu. Then two Brahmins went to the Supreme Court and said that there should not be reservations for Backward Classes. SC said there won’t be reservations for Backward Class people. Who are the Backward Class people? Gounder, Thevar, Nadar, Yadavar, Vanniyar, Chettiyar, Naidu. Who asked for reservations for them? The Dravidian movement. Periyar. Annadurai. If you call 60% (of the country), the Backward classes, as Hindus, then those who went to the Supreme Court, fought for those Hindus and got those Hindus reservations is the Dravidian Movement. So we are not enemies to Hindus right?” - A Raja. #SanatanaDharma

A friend just pointed out that @ranjanigayatri have asked for a non-Brahmin Music Academy leadership. Vazhga Periyar!! 😂

It’s honesty season in Muthu-land! Hitting the nail hard on the head about how fantastic the Dravidian parties have been for Tamil Nadu. But these fury-ridden admissions also show you why most TBs really hate the Dravidian movement. It’s because their personal (read religious) beliefs can’t be reconciled with the Dravidian ideology, nothing else. We could get decades of better governance, a bigger economy, better education and health…. literally better in every other way compared to most other states, all thanks to the Dravidian movement, but some TBs will hate the Dravidian movement because its rationalist, egalitarian philosophy runs contrary to their personal beliefs in an unscientific caste society. Don’t hate on me, hate on Muthu-ji!

Beautiful, how he ties the absolute disregard for and violation of constitutional jurisprudence, to help out fellow caste-brethren who killed a man, to the Vedas. Literally what the criticism to Brahminism is, that it’s only about protecting your own at the cost of rest of society. Tragic AF coming from a HC judge. Shocked but not shocked. All mamas be the same always.

We must not forget EPS’s role in whipping up paranoia against ambulance drivers. His conspiracy mongering has now turned into a political culture of attacking emergency workers.

Which brings us to the point that BJP supporters never truly cared about corruption, ever. Outrage over scams, dynasty politics etc. is just a ruse - it’s basically about casteism and Islamophobia.

For years we’ve all had to put up with the obscene lie about #VasoolRajaModi’s “clean” image despite enough evidence to the contrary. Even the average Sanghi never truly believed that there was no corruption, but the lie was kept alive with brainwashing and propaganda. #ElectoralBondsScam is the first substantial counter to this lie, because of the sheer audacity and brazenness with which people were extorted. What’s particularly delightful about it is that we can now strongly argue that there are only two reasons why BJP wins: HATE and LIES. The Brahmin-Baniya brand of Hindutva drives hate against Muslims, Christians and other oppressed groups. The corrupt media ecosystem - from editors and news anchors to influencers- brainwashes the entire nation into believing their lies. The last decade has been nothing but a disaster for India - for our economy, for our society, for our democracy. The next decade is going to be even worse.

Gelusil demand skyrockets in Madras.

As much as the average North Indian Sanghi is confounded by the peaceful coexistence of vibrant socio-cultural milieu around temples with the politics of Periyar in Tamil Nadu, he would be surprised by the ubiquitousness of avenues to learn Hindi in the state which saw fiery protests against Hindi imposition. The surprise can be attributed to lies like this one, lies which are spearheaded by the no-onion types.

ADMK’s subpar performance is dangerous for Tamil Nadu. A party which has a rich legacy of welfare and safeguarding the interests of the state should not allow itself to be hollowed out from within by vadak slaves.

Images of the massive industrial housing facility taken this morning 👏👏

“In brief, despite the existence of thousands of mainstream, reputable onshore Indian mutual fund products, an industry she now is responsible for regulating, documents show SEBI Chairperson Madhabi Buch and her husband had stakes in a multi-layered offshore fund structure with miniscule assets, traversing known high-risk jurisdictions, overseen by a company with reported ties to the Wirecard scandal, in the same entity run by an Adani director and significantly used by Vinod Adani in the alleged Adani cash siphoning scandal.”

How many of you agree that NDA has more vote share than ADMK in TN?

Surprising that BJP thinks that silly and obviously false spins work anymore. This is more oxygen for RG. Good job, he is setting the narrative now.

Chennai airport plunges into darkness. No AC. Looks like only screens and emergency lights. Immigration clearance in the dark! Probably security too. Info and images from a friend

Hear the applause from students and parents every time he makes a strong statement against NEET. That’s the will of the people. It is ONLY the Dravidian movement which has recognised what kind of education is good for people in the history of democratic India. Pretty much every other mainstream political establishment has worked against the principles of social justice in education. The entire country benefits from Tamil Nadu’s courageous crusade against Brahminical education. #BanNEET and leave education to the states.

Nothing is fuel to Tamil meme nation like a Modi visit. Abki Baar Choco Bar 😂😂😂

For the next month I am guessing we are going to be hearing from Muthu ji on the importance of secularism.

These guys are so corrupted and radicalised that they brainwash themselves. Imagine seriously believing and saying that BJP doesn’t really want to cash in electorally on Ram Mandir!

😭😭😭😭 Indha enga talking point saar

“There is nothing called Hinduism” says @annamalai_k This is exactly what @dmk_raja has been saying: piped.video/OrDpXQyVsEc?feature…

Research shows that affirmative action in government improves delivery of public services. Why? Answer:

Genuine question, has 56inch ever asked his followers not to be abusive against any political opponent, in such a manner?

Saint Gobain has been in Tamil Nadu for about 20 years. They started with abt 500 crores in investments and have since invested 10x that, says their APAC CEO. 60% of their investments in India so far have been in Tamil Nadu alone, because of the policy continuity, sustainability, high performance and productivity and a partnership mindset, he says.

Sun News reports that American electronics major Jabil will set up an electronics manufacturing factory in Trichy at the cost of Rs. 2000 crore enabling 5000 jobs !! This is big for Trichy! This will transform Trichy and create a new electronics cluster. With this TN will have several major Apple suppliers - Foxconn, Corning, Pegatron, Tata electronics and Jabil!

Sanghis don’t have a problem when they redistribute the wealth of the more prosperous and developed southern states to the poorly governed and feudal northern states. They have no issues spending thousands of crores on ads to promote Fanta bottle and 56inch, money earned by the people of the south who have educated themselves, work hard and pay taxes. But god forbid if one penny is taken from the rich Brahmin-Baniya businessmen and used for welfare.

Clicked to see how many 😂

He is not the first, and what he is saying isn’t true :) TN CM @mkstalin has spoken abt it, has launched a scheme for this - Magalir Urumai Thogai - Women Rights Amount, roughly translated. 1000 a month. Been 8 months since.

Only one video to understand the problem. If you cannot understand after watching this, the problem is with you. #BanNEEt

If they accept, good, Periyar wins. If they don’t accept, good, Periyar was right. 🤷‍♂️ Hahahaha
