Until about the 1960s-70s, Tamil Nadu was as poor as many other north India states of India which had more political representation and power at the Union.

📖 Has a significantly higher literacy rate compared to the national average
👫 Has a more balanced sex ratio compared to the national average

Listen to this Brahmin thatha for the answer:

Beyond Neha's disappointing take, more exposing has been how some liberals are defending them
They once again show their rabid impatience & structural misunderstanding of Ambedkarite political action.
Not everything is about street action, & even so street action of anti caste parties is very invisible (eg. VBA) to interlocutors for whom only left-coded andolans are legit methods.
Furthermore, if you look at Ambedkarite sphere, there are very strong critiques of political actors. What isnt acceptable is savarna-left commentary on this & for this too there are several historical reasons
At a time when many Leftists are trying to build bridges-- such clownnery and contempt by savarna defenders, doesnt serve anybody. Just gives Ambedkarites more reasons to be wary and confirm their anxieties.
As for Neha, they are a youth leader. Like Dipke & CJP, hopefully there will be a politically maturing phase. If not, Ambedkarite anxiety will stand validated.

Indians “Marxists” swear by theory but paradoxically it’s the RSS which is the only Gramscian organization in Indian history. Primary reason why the Left’s condition in India is pathetic is because it’s stuck in 1917 & thinks labeling everything bourgeois is revolutionary.

Hey @neha_aisa
This is Adv Disha Wadekar. She’s Ambedkarite She’s Dalit
The UGC Regulations itself
came into being following a six-year long legal battle in the Supreme Court of India led by Adv Disha for a petition filed by Rohith and Payals mothers.
And you have the audacity to talk about Ambedkarites not protesting against UGC roll back?
Dalit and anti caste activist, and parties work harder and longer for justice and make substantial change in society . Look what Mayawati has achieved in Northen India, VBA has achieved in Maha. They are usually boycotted by media
Because they are not previlege Savarna like you.
Disha Wadekar would be a national icon if she was Disha Bora. @WadekarDisha

I honestly don't care whether Neha is factually right. The answer is irrelevant. The problem is how Neha chose to address the question of caste. They're not speaking with the responsibility of a national leader who's supposed to unite all people struggling against fascism.
Does @neha_aisa your party comes to save our people from atrocities? Your real Savarna face is coming out. Give more interviews. It helps us to tell our people about Savarna disguised as communist.
ram retweeted
How limited the imagination, idea, and knowledge of resistance of so called Communists like @neha_aisa has to be that they think "protest" is the only means of resistance or that whether one has protested or not is the only measure of one's commitment to building a resistance.
That is not even Marxist-Leninistit.
That is Gandhian.

No comments!!
The smugness in making stupid remarks without ever having set foot in a slum where anti caste parties have the strongest hold. In the city I live, there are only two parties you would find in slums - BJP & BSP. Gardan kam hilao or socho zyada .@neha_aisa
ram retweeted
The audacity of privileged voices lecturing grassroots anti-caste movements on how, where, and when to struggle. Marginalized communities don’t need Savarna gatekeepers dictating the "correct" way to fight oppression.

The UGC equity guidelines were themselves the outcome of a petition by the mothers of Rohith Vemula and Payal Tadvi. They were represented by Disha Wadekar, a Dalit lawyer.
Ridiculous condescension here by @neha_aisa

A brief summary of Modi years.
Three years ago, PM Modi inaugurated the 3,200-crore Surat Diamond Bourse, calling it “the best diamond in the world” and an example of “Modi’s guarantee” for Surat.
Today, the “world’s biggest office space in a single project” is a largely empty shell.

Binance's initial investigation suggests that the security incident may involve a compromised DevOps engineer’s laptop, which allowed an attacker to gain access to a service container and submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions. We have found no evidence of any wallet private key leak. We will share a detailed technical post-mortem once the investigation is complete and the facts are fully verified.
The estimated total impact sits at around $6.3B. We have worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, with ~$3 billion frozen on-chain so far.
Binance will cover all losses from the SAFU fund and the company’s funds. User funds are safe. We will also publish an updated Proof of Reserves once the remediation is complete.
As an immediate precaution, Binance has:
- temporarily suspended deposits and withdrawals while security checks are completed;
- revoked the affected address authorisation;
- engaged law enforcement and blockchain intelligence partners to trace and recover funds.
Our teams are working around the clock to resolve this issue safely and thoroughly. We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identity of these criminals and bring them to justice.
Please rely only on official Binance channels for updates. Please feel free to contact Binance Customer Support if you have any further questions.

Fox: Why are you here this morning?
Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.
Congis have officially taken their social media game too far on the stupid side
BJP buffoons fall prey so easily
In communication, deliberate misspelling is a strategy to gain attention.
It’s called Typo Marketing.
Thank you for amplifying @RahulGandhi ji’s tweet on Tata by desperately pointing out Sitaraman misspelt.
Hahhahaha!

i remember talking to an idiot lawyer in a pub 12 months ago
and him telling me (very eloquently) all the reasons why he and his profession was safe
and how this whole AI thing would blow over and how wrong i was
zero point arguing with him (shit. he’s a lawyer). i knew i just had to wait a few months and he’d realise ..
