One of the finest moments is when Raaja sir introduces the great musicians in his troupe to the audience. At 2:50, the way he expressed his gratitude and paid his respects to Sadha master and the other musicians revealed the true nature of Raaja sir.
May Sadha master rest in peace.
so if you are a judge, law doesn't apply to you.
what a bleeping travesty this is. more than that, what a dangerous precedent.

India donated 10 ambulances to Bangladesh in March 2021 as a goodwill gesture during the COVID pandemic.
The Kanglus removed Indian flags from these ambulances.

Of course. The enrolment figures for CBSE students in 12th Std from Tamilnadu has jumped from 56,000 in 2022 to 88,000 in 2026, as more and more private schools are converting to CBSE. Virtually all the good talent is now in CBSE only.

Very similar to Cambodia.
I was in Cambodia recently, advising an NGO that rescues girls from traffickers. I walked those streets in Phnom Penh. Bars with little children standing outside, forced to sell themselves. You lose faith in humanity after seeing children held as sex slaves. And old, washed-up men lusting after them. I learned the history of how this started.
In the early 1990s, Cambodia was emerging from two decades of hell. The Khmer Rouge had killed nearly two million people. Civil war followed. The UN sent some 20,000 peacekeepers under UNTAC in 1991 to oversee the transition to democracy. They brought money, power, and demand.
Before UNTAC arrived, Cambodia had about 6,000 sex workers. By 1993, when the mission ended, that number had exploded to over 25,000. The UN’s own reports documented peacekeepers buying sex from women and children. When the head of UNTAC, Yasushi Akashi, was confronted about it, his response became infamous: “Boys will be boys.”
The full quote is worse. “Eighteen-year-old hot-blooded soldiers who come in from the field after working hard should be able to chase after young, beautiful beings of the opposite sex.”
The leadership did not shut it down. They told peacekeepers not to wear uniforms when visiting brothels and not to park UN vehicles directly outside. When an HIV epidemic broke out and increased demand for younger girls on the assumption that they were disease-free, the UN’s response was to ship 800,000 condoms to Cambodia.
When UNTAC left, the infrastructure of exploitation remained. Brothel owners discovered they could make more money catering to foreign tourists and local pedophiles wanting sex with children. Cambodia became known on international pedophile networks as “the new frontier.” By the early 2000s, officials estimated the average age of sex workers in Phnom Penh was 15.
Akashi was never removed. He was promoted. He went on to serve as UN Special Representative in Bosnia. He received Sri Lanka’s highest national honor for foreign nationals.
Thirty years later, the boys are gone. Now it is all old men. The children are still there.

This song is an example of why #Ilaiyaraaja sir is a genius. He turned a Carnatic Harikambhoji into simple folk-kummi so anyone can sing it easily. His brilliant use of the chorus as a backing harmony throughout the song was pure magic and hearing that chorus live was magical.🥹

PM @narendramodi took in-charge in 2014 and right from 2015 January the false allegations started against his govt in Tamilnadu.
The very first allegation was ‘Modi govt has quashed Pongal holidays for central govt employees’, the next was ‘Modi govt has banned Jallikattu’.
From that point the amount of false allegations and abuses hurled at Modi Ji by DMK and Tamil media was unprecedented. Even when Modi Ji visited TN as the Prime Minister of India to inaugurate a central govt project, the infamous ‘Go Back’ hashtag was trended by DMK and almost all Tamil media houses amplified that.
Before Annamalai Avl took charge, it was left to foot soldiers like us to counter these narrative. We spent our money, time, energy and most importantly our family time to counter the propaganda.
Appalled by TN BJP’s abysmal response, I joined hands with three other individuals to start and support the web portal ‘Kathir News’, the sole purpose of that portal was to support Modi Ji.
I can say with thorough conviction, that we foot soldiers of @BJP4TamilNadu contributed immensely more than @DrLMurugan as TN BJP state president and later as Minister of State for I&B.
He hadn’t lift his single finger to counter anti-Modi propaganda in Tamilnadu but when some allegation hits his doorstep, he writes a 4 page letter to counter that and threatens media houses that are carrying the allegation.
With the mighty power he carry if he had showed the same intensity, Tamilnadu would’ve paid back Modi Ji with hand-full of MPs and MLAs for the admiration he has for தமிழ்.

TIL that the pilot who landed that crippled plane under such stress was a Fijian.
The pilot that landed the plane Captain Steven is from Fiji. In the picture, he is in the middle.
The crew of flydubai Flight 1073 were honored for their “courage and professionalism in ensuring the safety of passengers and securing the aircraft.” At the heart of that story are 3 pilots.
The first is the captain, Smit Machchhar. On September 30, his Boeing 737 was flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv when his own co-pilot turned on him, left him badly injured and pushed the jet into a dive. It plunged 17,000 feet in less than a minute.
“I was in and out of consciousness frequently,” Machchhar said later. But he told himself: “Do something.” He managed to unlock the cockpit door from inside, and passengers rushed in and stopped the co-pilot.
The other 2 were flydubai pilots traveling in the cabin that day. They were only on board to fly the aircraft back to Dubai. Later reporting identified them as South African and New Zealand citizens.
They rushed into the cockpit and took over a crippled jet. The dive had torn away part of the rudder. Passenger Almog Itali said the 2 pilots “entered (the cockpit) and pulled the aircraft up, pulled the yoke, stabilised the plane and landed us in Saudi Arabia.”
They flew it for more than an hour and landed safely in Tabuk. Everyone on board survived. According to Saudi Arabia’s Interior Ministry, 174 passengers and 8 crew members were on board.
Machchhar was treated in Tabuk, then moved to Abu Dhabi. The 2 pilots who landed the plane have never been publicly named. Flydubai has described them only as crew members traveling on the plane.
A passenger later called the people who saved that flight “angels upon earth.”
Not to minimize the life-saving actions of these pilots, but is it really necessary to completely erase the heroic and quick-thinking actions of the Israeli civilians who rushed the cockpit, neutralized the perp and stabilized the plane? Everybody would have died if they hadn’t stood up like that. We can honor both the pilots and the civilians.
The whole episode is worthy of a Hollywood feature
The bravery of the untrained lsraeli civilians by fighting and subduing the terrorist and then stabilizing the plane is worthy of a new Nobel prize category......valour
One of the passengers, an Israeli (Jewish) plumber who first stabilized the aircraft by pulling up on the yoke in the cockpit and thereby pulling the plane out of it's dive before the two deadhead pilots took over.
There was more to this story than these 3 pilots. 1st on pilot who did everything in his power to stop a terror attack. Than a group of Israeli passengers who raced in, pulled the nose up and obtained the terrorist and one doctor who made sure the pilot kept awake until the 2 deadhead pilots landed. All of these heroes avoided a catastrophic event.
Rowan Tooth, a South African pilot originally from Kimberley, who was later awarded the UAE's First Class Order of Zayed II for his bravery.” was one of the pilots.

29 October marks 24 years since Pakistan-sponsored terrorists barged into our home in Kashmir and shot my mother and uncle dead. They took two lives and stole the childhood of seven children.
Terrorism doesn’t end with death. It leaves families shattered, children orphaned, and wounds that decades cannot heal.
I was one of those children. For 24 years, I have refused to let their crime be forgotten or their victims silenced.
Their attempts to silence me did not end that day. They made repeated efforts to assassinate me for speaking out, but they failed to break my resolve. My commitment remains unwavering: to fight the ideology that breeds terrorism and expose the networks that support, facilitate, and provide logistical assistance to terrorists.
My mother and uncle are gone, but my voice remains. Till my last breath, I will stand against terrorism and speak for those whose lives it has destroyed.
Memory will not surrender to silence. Justice will not surrender to fear.
