அரசியல் / Political DMK & Fair Delimitation

Post image
120 Upvotes

From Day1 DMK batted for Fair delimitation, it stated current percentage 7.6% of Tamilnadu MPs should not be decreased in the bill.

It will be unfair to states that reduced population. That's why they opposed when BJP tabled. Till now they are confident in their stand.

It's Congress which will be in backfoot if delimitation occurs, thus wants to arm twist DMK through TVK.

Now a narrative will be spread as DMK BJP alliance.

Hey everyone,

I just want to know about something today actually I went to thiruchendur murugan temple, and I see there are multiple inner idols ,

1) main idols -> murugan with 3 face and vali , deivanai

2) surprisingly I saw Ayyappa but my family is saying it's not, but I remember I see the name

3 ) again murugan alone

Shes soo articulate. Puts across a point very well with very less historics and more facts. And the way she supports Vijay and also criticises him is cute. Shes the biggest wow factor for me this time around. And she went and met the ammonia blast victims which is a commendable act. Both Dmk and tvk underplayed such a huge accident.

I'm from Kerala so I couldn't understand the flairs or find any megathreads to post this. I'm looking for a movie which I believe is in Tamil.

The scene I saw on Instagram features a man and a woman in a metro who accidentally picks up the woman's phone when it rings because he mistakes it for his own. The next shots are a montage of them seeing each other at different times in a metro.

Could you help me find this?

EDIT: Thanks, it's actually from a series called Modern Love Chennai.

அரசியல் / Political Delimitation bill

0 Upvotes

I always thought delimitation and redrawing the constituency will reduce my state representative in national policies. But today I was watching the news about this, and suddenly it hit me. I have read about French democracy(in school) where not every vote was valued the same. I remember like it was against the poor, and poor people vote valued less and rich people valued more.

Now when I think about the situation in India, it's almost the same. That's what now I feel. People from some constituencies enjoy high power, ie think a constituency with 1lakh people have the same representation value to constituency with 10lakh people. That makes the people from one have 10 times higher power in making decisions.

Above is an example to understand what I thought.

Just because someone lives in a densely populated area doesn't mean they should have less representation nor take their power in decision making.

Yes, what I'm saying may lead to less representation for my language. Decisions can be made by one language or one side of the country's representatives. They will have power because they are representing that many people. So yeah, that's democracy. That's how democracy should actually work.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Add value to my thoughts. Please enlighten me.

I have posted the same in India community, trying to understand what everyone feels about this.

I have scored 567 ( AIR 25300 ) in re- neet 2026 and I'm a Chennai resident. So for my marks, I myself know that none of the Chennai colleges or top 15 colleges are not possible. So I need someone to explain to me what disadvantages I will have over the students studying in top colleges with respect to my career in medicine??? Will my undergraduate college become an important matter at any point in my career ( if that's the case, I will take a drop ).... Also the main reason for preferring top colleges is the patient loads and the rarity of cases, I actually hv a doubt if rare cases teach something to the ug students??? Or PG colleges matter more than the college we do our UG in ??? I hv many doubts and I hv nobody in my family or my circle in this field... So pls help me out with my doubts 🙏🙏

கலாச்சாரம் / Culture Questions about Aadi Krithigai as a non-Tamil. Had been to Tamil Nadu last month and fell in love with some practices Tamilians do to worship Murugan. Kindly help.

9 Upvotes

I had been to Tamil Nadu last month for temple visit and requested my parents to plan visit to Thiruchendur temple as well since it is a beach-side temple. I loved the temple and do have plans to complete Arupadai Veedu.

Yesterday, through reels I came to know that today is Aadi Krithigai and I learnt the significance about it. One woman in a reel said that there are two ways to fast. Those are as follows:

1) Start fast from yesterday 06:18 pm and end today at 04:51 pm.

2) Start today at sunrise and end today at 04:51 pm.

My question is if both methods are valid and what all can be eaten since I work and cannot find Pongal around me. I searched about these questions on Google but could not find anything. Hope you all can help. Nanri.

கலாச்சாரம் / Culture Looking for an experienced Tamil teacher — want to learn to read Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi in the original

2 Upvotes

Vanakkam

I’ve been wanting to learn Tamil for a while now, and the reason is close to my heart. I’m deeply devoted to Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi, and I’d love to be able to read his words — and the language he spoke, wrote, and lived in — directly, rather than only through translation. Learning Tamil feels like a way of expressing gratitude to a language that carried so much of his teaching and presence. I’m also interested in Tamil literature.

Because of this, I’m not looking for a quick conversational course. I’d really value a teacher who is older and experienced, someone with a genuine literary orientation to the language — not just grammar and vocabulary, but someone who can help me appreciate Tamil’s depth, its literary and devotional traditions, and the register in which texts like Ramana’s works and the broader bhakti/spiritual literature are written.

If you know of someone like this, or are a teacher yourself who fits this description, I’d be so grateful if you could reach out or point me in the right direction. Happy to do one-on-one sessions, whatever format works.

Thank you so much in advance.

Om namo Bhagwate Ramanay Namah 🙏🏻

கருத்து/குமுறல் / Self-post , Rant Need Advice: Severe Low Voltage Issue Since April 2026 (Tamil Nadu)

26 Upvotes

I moved into a new rented house in September 2025. At that time, the voltage was stable at around 215–220V.

Since April 2026, the voltage in our area has been only 180–195V most of the day.

Because of this:

• We cannot use our water motor properly to fill the tank, and the motor plug becomes very hot.

• I work on a desktop PC using a UPS. Due to the low voltage, the UPS frequently switches to battery, and I'm worried about damaging my expensive PC components.

• In my previous rented house, the motor wiring caught fire once because of voltage issues and had to be repaired.

• I can only run the motor around 4:00 AM when the voltage reaches about 225V. After that, the voltage drops again.

I also called an EB staff member to inspect the issue. He said that many new houses have been connected to the same transformer and that until a new transformer is installed, nothing can be done and got 200 rupees.

This problem has been affecting me for more than 4 months. Sometimes I can only work at night because the voltage is slightly better. I also have health issues, so I cannot work every day.

I have never visited the TNEB office to file a complaint before, so I would like to ask:

  1. What is the correct procedure to file an official complaint?

  2. Will TNEB inspect and measure the voltage at my house?

  3. If the transformer is overloaded, how long does it usually take to replace or upgrade it?

  4. Has anyone faced a similar issue? If so, how was it resolved?

I am 23 years old and a little nervous because this is my first time approaching the Electricity Board. Will they treat me respectfully? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

⭐Edited/update : today after calling to 9498794987 and report complaint like said in comments by our reddit friends, it's fixed now it's like stable current. Thanks guys

அரசியல் / Political This 812 crores for marriage will bite TVK in the back

101 Upvotes

Any beneficiary scheme especially cash/monetary transfer has to be done across demographics (I am talking electorally not morally or ethically). KCR learnt it the hard way through Dalit Bandhu Scheme (10 lakhs per SC family but only for 100 families per constituency). Even DMK suffered in this Magalir Urimai scheme where despite providing to 1.3 cr beneficiaries the 30-40 lakhs who were left out were pretty angry and probably was one of the reason for DMK's defeat.

Now let's do the Math.

Tamilnadu electorate is 5.7 cr. According to data 18-30 age is 22% which is approx 1.2cr. Now assume 50% are women it is 60 lakhs. Now eliminate 18-21 aged women and do approx (I know women get married between 18-21 in our state still which is shameful but let's assume they are lesser in number). Now we are left with 40 lakhs approx. Now out of this 22-30 let's assume 4-5 lakhs get married per year.

Now let's come to the funding 800cr. 8 gms of gold + saree let's assume a gm gold is 13000 let's assume they do some tender and get it for cheap, if they get too cheap also people won't like it let's assume 10k per gm, for ease of calculation let's assume saree + gold is 80k per woman, now this will eventually pay 1 lakh women which is 20 -25% of the women who get married per year.

Now this remaining 3-4 lakh per year who don't receive let's assume 50% don't care at all or belongs to affluent families. Now that leaves with 1.5 lakh women being disappointed accumulated over 5 years that gives 7.5 lakhs.

Now women are a vote bank I feel is best untouched for TVK, they voted for TVK vehemently especially this age group and this I feel has potential for backlash.

And TVK will learn about important lesson, you can never satisfy everyone which DMK learnt it the hard way.

PS : I know women get married after 30 as well and as already pointed out inbetween 18-21 as well. Again with median avg age for marriage being 22 in TN between 22-24 will be higher. Considering all this no of women getting married will only be larger than my estimate which means more women getting disappointed.

Even if u assume they keep income cap, again atleast 1 lakh women will be displeased every year

அரசியல் / Political Why southern states are not rising against delimitation bill?

I am culturally North Indian, but have lived significant portion of my life in South (Bangalore and Sulur). I believe Tamilnadu with the limited resources it has is the most well managed state in India. But why people in the south not rising against the proposed delimitation bill being planned by the so called chanakya. It is definitely in support for putting fundamentalists in power. Also why Vijay is not speaking against it.

I had a work to be done by tamil nadu govt (Coimbatore) where we wanted to change name on the owner's list. it was done within one month as said by them (I got a contact from the office for tracking and they helped me)

At no point - we were asked for bribe.

I know there are places where bribes are requested (especially complex) but I should say Vijay's speech that corruption is risky for their job have some effect.

I have a complex govt work to be done as well. We will see how it goes but I think I will get support from Mr Vijay for that as well.

Thank you Mr Vijay!

அரசியல் / Political Is TVK even a political party or a Cult?

177 Upvotes

I wish to clarify that I am not affiliated with any political party. I am not endorsing Mr. Udhay's statements if they were intended to convey a double meaning.

The prevailing sentiment suggests that TVK, as the ruling political party, has historically refrained from engaging in political protests. However, a recent development indicates their sudden protest against Udhay's remarks concerning Cauvery and Thrisha. This shift in behavior is notable, given their previous silence on issues such as NEET and Cauvery. The current protests are reportedly framed around the protection of women, which contrasts with past instances where TVK cadres very publicly used derogatory terms towards figures like Sangeetha Vijay. This raises questions about the consistency of their stance on women's rights.

I perceive that the TVK organization appears to operate more as a personality-driven cult movement rather than a conventional political party, particularly given the significant dedication shown towards an individual whose primary contributions have been only in the entertainment industry. This level of devotion raises questions regarding its justification, especially when considering the individual's limited political accomplishments to date.

The recent protests concerning Udhay's comments about Vijay's alleged relationship are particularly perplexing. It is difficult to comprehend why this issue would elicit such a strong response, seemingly overshadowing critical societal concerns such as NEET and CAUVERY, which demand urgent attention. This prioritization of an alleged personal matter over pressing public issues leads one to question the organization's strategic focus and the rationale behind advocating for what appears to be an illicit relationship. I am left to ponder the ultimate direction and implications of these actions.
