Some posters just want to slide on empty rhetoric without an iota of understanding of anything, while using sophisticated language to imply some deep comprehension. That's a guaranteed way to not be able to arrive at a solution, perhaps that itself is the intention. So be it.

There is this feeling on by some folks on BRF that TN thinks it's exceptional and needs to get in line to follow Hindutva politics as it's served to them. Such a statement will never be made by any politician worth his/her salt for two simple reasons: a) it is stupid to say so, and b) the feeling of...

... and above all Annamalai will be a good opposition. It's good to accept that a mistake is made by Central leadership and correct it rather than stay silent. Why is he not given a berth in the Legislative Council? Where? In TN? There is no upper house in the state. A RS seat has been on offer, ap...

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Perhaps stick to issues that you are familiar with, if any? P.S. As Rajiv Malhotra said in the recent Indraprastha conference in Delhi, the left ecosystem does one thing very well: they develop experts in a specific field who go deep in that fiel...

Dileep chetta had mentioned this long ago - people in KL want their local rep to be able to fix their day-to-day issues, and that is a big factor in their voting decisions. In a way, Dileep and you are right. Kerala people do expect their elected reps (at the state or local level) to be able to res...

Ashram near Kaggalipura - refers to Art of Living - ?

you got it right, arshyam ji.

Thanks saar. I hope AoL improves their security. As an ashram, they want to keep things simple so devotees could come in with little hassle. But nefarious interests abound.

Annamalai did not want to contest, stating that his focus was on the state election, but the central brass asked him to, as a symbolic "leading from the front". Second, the three-way fight was inevitable considering the tripolar contest in that election, since the AIADMK had walked out of...

On TN: some posters wax eloquent on the "hindu-ness" of TN. As I said before, this brand of hinduism is culturally rich no doubt - but it does not include proper values of Dharma and cultural unity (perhaps due to the misinformation and fake propaganda of "dravidian" parties ove...

On the contrary Tamil public was warming up to Annamalai. However it was too ambitious to contest in Coimbatore in a three way race. Annamalai did not want to contest, stating that his focus was on the state election, but the central brass asked him to, as a symbolic "leading from the front&qu...

.... My lived experience is that Hinduism is pretty casual/diminished in rest of India while it is pretty serious in TN - it is rest of India that needs to catch up.

Chetak ji, can I provide a counter CT? If tamil public is not warming up to Annamalai ji, then is there any harm in trying him out from Karnataka?

Lots of infrastructure in focus. Outlay increased to ₹12.2L crore (an earlier allocation, don't recall if it was for last year, was ₹11,11,111 crore).

I have a dumb question. Why cant we have 2 or 3 engines and longer trains? platform length , no of bogies available? That can be solved.
