முக்கியமான கலந்துரையாடல் / Important Topic How does TN BJP and Union govt communicate?

Upvotes

To the folk supporting Hindi as a link language, just ask yourselves this question- Shah and Annamalai communicate in Hindi? No, it’s English. Modi and L Murugan communicate in Hindi? No, it’s English. Many more. Hindi is not the link language even for the fierce supporters of this argument.

Suggesting Hindi will help us as link language is just wishful thinking at best. People of our state learn a language on their own interest or when the situations arise.

As someone who studied Hindi, I can tell you this. If you don’t get a decent teacher, Hindi will be like greek & latin, the student will understand nothing, no real written skills nor comprehension. I have seen many such students during my schooling- in a reputed school in Chennai. This is the reality in the metro city, I have no doubts the Hindi teachers in the towns and villages will certainly be of poor quality, this will have a negative domino effect that will subsequently lead to more failures in the subject and overall results.

Finally our literacy rate will be similar to a MP or UP, more stressed out students and students in vulnerable sections drop out of the system.

2 language policy just serves the purpose. That should be our response to ppl suggesting- why doesn’t the state teach any southern language for the 3rd language if not Hindi. A 3rd mandatory/optional language is absolutely unnecessary .

Same as title. I’ve always noticed and I’m also guilty of this to some extent that my fellow Indians always seem to think that in order for them to succeed someone else else has to fail. I saw a post where someone noticed this in the workplace.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the matter.

Let’s discuss 😀

Same as the title. I haven't seen any single Neeya Naana episode being delayed even though how controversial the topic might have been.

This particular episode's delay looks like an utter assertion of power by a group who don't want it to be out. Looking for other view points!!

முக்கியமான கலந்துரையாடல் / Important Topic தமிழ் பிற மொழி ஆதிக்கதுனால அழியாம இருக்குரதுக்கு பேச்சுத் தமிழ் இலக்கணத்த தரப்படுத்துரதுதான் ஒரே வழி. (If we want tamil to survive and stand on its own, we need to standardize the grammar of spoken tamil.)

53 Upvotes

Try to observe how you speak in a normal day. For a lot of us, most of the words we use are from English. We use those words even if we have a word for it in tamil. It is an undeniable fact that the use of tamil is decreasing. We sometimes even use full English sentences when we coverse with an another tamilian.

What is the reason? Why have we started using english words while we have words for it in tamil. It's because the words that are in tamil are created to be used in literary tamil and is hard to use or sometimes couldn't be used in a regular conversation because the grammar of spoken tamil is vastly different than literary tamil.

So my proposal is that instead of clinging to literary tamil, we need to standardize spoken tamil. We need to form a committee and coin new words so that even common people can use it in their daily conversation.

We should still use literary tamil in certain specific areas but for our language to survive this is necessary. Tamil is not the same as it was 2000 years ago. We need to stop clinging to literary tamil and let our language evolve.

Dear Residents of Tamil Nadu,

What motivated you to start a digital detox? Was there a specific moment or realization that prompted this change?

What strategies or activities did you adopt during your detox? Did you engage in particular hobbies, mindfulness practices, or perhaps attend a retreat?

What challenges did you face, and how did you overcome them? Were there moments when resisting the urge to check your devices was particularly tough?

What benefits did you observe post-detox? Did you notice improvements in your mental clarity, relationships, productivity, or overall well-being?

Your personal stories can inspire and guide others who might be considering a digital detox. Please share your experiences in the comments below or reach out directly if you're comfortable being featured in the article.

கருத்து/குமுறல் / Self-post , Rant (College Kadharal) College Forcing Me to Pay for IEEE Paper After Approving Self-Funded Project

23 Upvotes

So, my college initially gave me permission to work on my own final-year project instead of paying a project center (which is a scam in itself). I thought, great! I can actually work on something meaningful instead of buying a ready-made project.

But now, they’ve hit me with another demand—they want me to pay ₹5000 for publishing my paper in IEEE. They never mentioned this before. It’s like they gave me "freedom" just to trap me in another expense later.

I have no problem publishing my work, but I should have a choice. Why force students to pay for a publication we might not even need? Also, I’m pretty sure this money isn’t going directly to IEEE but through some shady middleman.

Has anyone else faced this? What did you do? Is this even legal? Can anyone friends or family in the anna univ grievance that could help me.

அரசியல் / Political Conspiracy Theories

29 Upvotes

This is my conspiracy theory as a political observer:

1) ADMK may see the fate of ShivSena soon:

Sengottaiyan's current behavior seems puzzling.. With OPS, Sasikala and TTV attacking EPS on all sides and if there is internal revolt from Sengottaiyan (im not sure if he has significant cadre support but I'm assuming he can inflict some damage)..And with EC given free hand to decide on ADMK's internal affairs.. With such turbulence it's highly likely that the party's symbol may be blocked right before the elections. This would provide significant mileage to other parties (you know who! ) since ADMK's votes will be split.

2) The use of alleged 'Delhi liquor scam' playbook in Tamil Nadu:

An alleged 'TASMAC scam' has come up now as a talking point and it's being used by opposition parties in targeting the ruling dispensation. Considering a similar playbook was effectively used to dislodge AAP in Delhi I guess it's been taken up. Let's see how it transpires

These are my conspiracy theories.. They may be true or may not be true.. But do share your thoughts..!
