Then there were the people. Assamese, Jats, and Punjabis; people from Rajasthan, Bengal, and Tamil Nadu; from Pushkar, Cochin, and Konarak; warrior caste, Brahmin, and untouchable; Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Parsee, Jain, Animist; fair skin and dark, green eyes and golden brown and black; every different face and form of that extravagant variety, that incomparable beauty, India.

Mumbai is the sweet, sweaty smell of hope, which is the opposite of hate; and it's the sour, stifled smell of greed, which is the opposite of love. It's the smell of Gods, demons, empires, and civilizations in resurrection and decay. Its the blue skin-smell of the sea, no matter where you are in the island city, and the blood metal smell of machines. It smells of the stir and sleep and the waste of sixty million animals, more than half of them humans and rats. It smells of heartbreak, and the struggle to live, and of the crucial failures and love that produces courage. It smells of ten thousand restaurants, five thousand temples, shrines, churches and mosques, and of hunderd bazaar devoted exclusively to perfume, spices, incense, and freshly cut flowers. That smell, above all things - is that what welcomes me and tells me that I have come home. Then there were people. Assamese, Jats, and Punjabis; people from Rajasthan, Bengal, and Tamil Nadu; from Pushkar, Cochin, and Konark; warrior caste, Brahmin, and untouchable; Hindi, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, Jain, Parsee, Animist; fair skin and dark, green eyes and golden brown and black; every different face and form of that extravagant variety, that incoparable beauty, India.

The first wave involved Sanskrit ‘commentaries’ (bhasyas) by Vedanta scholars, the most celebrated of whom were Adi Shankara from Kerala in the eighth century followed by Ramanuja from Tamil Nadu in the eleventh century and Madhva Acharya from Karnataka in the thirteenth century. They
Devdutt Pattanaik (My Gita)
Unfortunately, the same journalists refused to comment when Srinivasan (the BCCI chairperson) and Srikkanth (the selection committee chairman) brazenly pushed players from their own state, Tamil Nadu, into the national side: Badrinath suddenly came into prominence; Murali Vijay got selected out of nowhere; Balaji’s injury got cured overnight; Ashwin became the spinner of choice;
Saptarshi Sarkar (Sourav Ganguly: Cricket, Captaincy and Controversy)
Sadhana You may have noticed this about yourself: when you are feeling pleasant, you want to expand; when you are fearful, you want to contract. Try this. Sit for a few minutes in front of a plant or tree. Remind yourself that you are inhaling what the tree is exhaling, and exhaling what the tree is inhaling. Even if you are not yet experientially aware of it, establish a psychological connection with the plant. You could repeat this several times a day. After a few days, you will start connecting with everything around you differently. You won’t limit yourself to a tree. Using this simple process, we at the Isha Yoga Center have unleashed an environmental initiative in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, under which twenty-one million trees have been planted since 2004. We spent several years planting trees in people’s minds, which is the most difficult terrain! Now transplanting those onto land happens that much more effortlessly.
Sadhguru (Inner Engineering: A Yogi's Guide to Joy)
Exhibiting nervousness would amount to weakness in public perception and nobody liked a weak leader. Showing bravado was the norm among Tamil Nadu politicians when faced with court cases. Even in the face of mounting evidence against them, they would behave as if it was business-as-usual. And if the verdict went against them, their usual refrain would be “judgement had been ‘bought’ rather than delivered.” Sesha could not stoop to their level, but still he had to put up a brave front at least till the judgement was delivered.

India is triply disadvantaged. As in many other societies, we suffer from the “head versus hand” hierarchy, which ascribes higher status to purely mental work over work that requires physical labour. In India, that hierarchy is also encoded in caste, with mental labour assigned to dominant castes and physical labour assigned to oppressed ones. A widely held Western idea of art is to restrict anything utilitarian to the realm of craft, says Sainath. ‘A product of craft is something which has constant and wide replication, a specific use, plus a restricted number of patterns. The main differentiation made by many is to look at art as creative, and craft—even when highly skilled—as mechanical and unthinking.

The public figures whom led a King's life on people's feet and their money are regarded as the 'Mother' and 'Father' of Tamil Nadu, whereas the public who raised on their own foot and their earnings are regarded as the fraudulent, red alert, it's the lockdown time

We have been controlling the price of agricultural commodities, so that a larger number of people get cheaper grains. This has affected the farmers badly. The erstwhile finance minister Arun Jaitley said that the number of people involved in farming has to reduce like in other countries. They cite the USA as an example—only 2 per cent of the people are involved in farming, why should 50 per cent of the people do it here? But our country is different. Farming alone is going to get you food. Tomorrow, if there is an even bigger crisis and we become dependent—that is what WTO [World Trade Organisation] wants—the solution is to import, as it’s cheaper. But the moment you become an importer, the prices will keep changing and there will be another crisis.

P. Sainath says, 'What we need to do is not just destroy the caste hierarchy but simultaneously create respect for the work and labour that people do, for what they produce. I have always maintained that untouchability is not just a social evil. It’s more than that. It’s an extremely cruel, vicious but sophisticated form of exploitation by which we keep a large labour force permanently demoralised, humiliated and dependent. So we need to destroy the feudal relations of production completely; we need to accept that if a son or daughter of a potter, weaver or leather worker do not want to be in that field, it’s a perfectly legitimate need of theirs and they cannot under any circumstance be compelled. You need to break down the caste hierarchy and when you bring respect and economic returns for that skill, who knows—many other children in the village might want to do it. Look at the way we’ve destroyed weaving. Several weavers, who for countless years made the famous Kanjeevaram saree, are driving autorickshaws in Kanchi and Chennai, and this is called reskilling. These individuals hold within them cumulatively thousands of years of skill, knowledge and experience. We simply do not respect labour, we don’t give dignity to those who do this beautiful work. However, there are also professions and occupations that you want to see dead. I don’t want to see anybody take up or inherit manual scavenging. It is the greatest assault on human dignity that you can think of in a structured way. And it is perpetrated because we are somehow very comfortable with the idea of using the children of our poor to do the dirty work for us. So there are professions that have to be completely destroyed. And there are professions, occupations and livelihoods that have to be preserved. But not as they were in their old context but recreated in a new one.

The first season of excavation at Keezhadi in Madurai district has yielded significant findings. Subsequent seasons brought out the existence of an urban settlement. This is for the first time that signs of an ancient urban settlement have been excavated in Tamil Nadu. Brick walls and brick platforms and ring wells point towards an evolved urban settlement.

Titan was an acronym for Tata Industries and Tamil Nadu: “T” and “I” for Tata Industries and “TAN” for Tamil Nadu. And so, finally and adventitiously, this long-gestated venture came to see the light of day,’ elaborated Xerxes.

EPS at the end of day is not a Pan Tamil Nadu leader. He is the leader of the kongu belt. TTV sasikala OPS all belongs to the same community. This community feels they are betrayed by EPS. BJP is wooing vigorously in this community. They have a substantial vote bank in South Tamil Nadu and Tamil Delta areas.

In 1949 a group of Ramaswami’s followers broke away to form the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK). In 1967 the DMK became the first professedly regional party to come to power in a major provincial election in India. The Congress, once dominant in Tamil Nadu, has never since regained power in that state. Without the ideological and organizational ground work laid down by Ramaswami, it is hard to see how this could have happened. To be sure, he may have himself seen this as somewhat less than ideal—for he wanted a separate country for the Tamils, not merely greater autonomy within the existing nation-state of India. Ramaswami’s message is nicely captured in a statue of his in Tiruchirapalli which carries this inscription: ‘God does not exist at all. The inventor of God is a fool. The propagator of God is a scoundrel. The worshipper of God is a barbarian’.

their own ornaments and jewellery, but also shipped on many Roman products such as bronze lamps and even rather good counterfeit Roman intaglios manufactured in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. These seem to have been passed off in South-east Asia as the original Roman goods, rather like the fake Louis Vuitton and Gucci bags found in the region’s bazaars today.52

But in addition to many otherwise inexplicable cultural links between Cambodia and the Coromandel coast there are circumstantial hints that the Pallavas maintained strong links to South-east Asia: inscriptions by Nandivarman II have been found at both Kedah in Malaysia and Takua Pa in Thailand, where there is in addition a tall image of Vishnu carved in a pure Pallava style, accompanied by kneeling images of his consort Bhudevi and the sage Markandeya – iconography otherwise found only in Tamil Nadu.85

Balamani Ammal, born into the kavarai merchant community near Kumbhakonam in Thanjavur district, for example, created the first all-woman theater company in Tamil Nadu in the first two decades of the twentieth century. Along with her sister Rajambal, she led the Balamani Drama Company, which created jobs for a number of disenfranchised devadāsīs at the height of public debates on social reform

No Tamil nadu wont become separate country and It wont happen. Rest of the things are same. Careful with China and Sri lanka. Some people I saw today were too good.

Kaveri or any river issues should be resolved with discussion from people involved directly or indirectly rather than politicizing it with another dimensional problem. Kaveri is common for Both Karnataka and Tamil nadu, both should be mutually benefitted, same for any other rivers shared with TN, Just like Tamil nadu shares its electricity generation with other states. Whatever you produce is not only meant for you, you also do it for others in order to maintain Dharma. And I am not supporting Tamilnadu alone as well, because whomever are working hard in Tamilnadu that are not Tamils should be respected and given importance not just Dravidian politicians that pretend themselves as Tamil protectors which they are not
