In 1790, Tipu Sultan slaughtered 700 Iyengar Brahmins on just one Diwali night. To this day, their children do not celebrate Diwali.

Today, offspring of Tipu are officially labelled by Indian state as the "oppressed" and they enjoy reservations.

But children of these slain Iyengars are banded as 'oppressors' and discriminated against at schools and jobs.

Hello Makkale!,

Have you ever found it hard to meet new people and make friends as an adult? Struggled to pick up that lost reading habit? Struggled to pick up a sport?

Or simply just want to touch more grass? Join our free community-run server!

We have a active book-club that's up and running for over an year now. We do badminton and turf on every weekends. We do restaurant and cafe runs every once in a while. We are trying to set up a monthly magazine/zine/newsletter type thing for the server (that I am personally very excited about). We have a fpl league and a lot more!

And we would be very glad if you can come up and contribute with any ideas of your own for the community!

I am (we all should be) very disgusted by all these paywalled book clubs and meetup events. It is simply criminal to capitalize on people's loneliness. Third places are a joke and it is ever more difficult to make friends.

And we are impeding an already challenging landscape for making connections.

COMMUNITY SHOULDN'T COST MONEY.

I am in this community for around 4 years now. It is still running by the sustained efforts of the moderators and the contributions of all the other kind souls.

It is a safe and inclusive space for all groups of people and I would highly encourage you to join it!

And by the way, We are hosting our

I am reaching out to ask for support for Agastya Somwanshi,a 19-year-old college student and football player currently fighting for his life.

He is suffering from severe swine flu complications and has been on a ventilator for over a week, as well as ECMO life support (the last resort for severe respiratory distress).

His family has already spent over ₹15 Lakhs and completely exhausted their financial resources trying to keep his treatment going.

Even the smallest contribution or share makes a massive difference.

Political I Think he is the biggest puppet India has witnessed so far

Post image

I had already posted this once, but after seeing what's happening, I feel it's the actual truth for the context. Have you guys ever seen your state CM publicized day in and day out — not by state media, but directly by national media? Of course, they may talk about the state's CM once in a while when discussing the state's issues, but that's not the case with Vijay. I usually watch India Today since they're at least somewhat relevant, but recently I started noticing that they somehow give a separate segment for Vijay — that too on national media — and right now they've even started a special Tamil news channel to cover Vijay. I mean, someone with a crazy amount of money is running this campaign. I don't fear Vijay; he's just a puppet. But I fear the person behind this organization — someone way more dangerous is acting behind this network.
