Tamil caste fanatics beware - What you post matters most!

It is true social media has taken over your thoughts. Before you post your own post or forwards somebody post, you think over it. The manpower recruiters are aware of it and they too check your post before hiring you. The analysts too look into various posts to come to a decision about the latest trends. The post gives an indication of your inclination of your thinking. I have come across post of photos of bygone caste leaders or of present leaders posted by the social media users. If you check their (users) all social media posts it is full of casteist tendency. They themselves are not aware that are going deep into casteism. They deny their casteist mentality. They feel they have posted it to create a casteless society. They justify it by saying they have posted quotes of their bygone caste leaders and present leaders which are against caste systems.

This episode from Mahabharat reminds me of the deadly Covid-19. Till the posting of this article, the only medicine to avoid Covid-1...

Harmony Lessons from Dharavi for Tamil caste fanatics

Dharavi the largest slum in Asia houses one million peoples. That are 10 lakhs people residing over there. Majority of residents residing in Dharavi are Tamilians. They have been living here since more than 100 years. There is a Lord Vinayagar Temple (Lord Ganpati Temple) that is 110 years old. From this it can be interfered that they are living here for more than 110 years. Each and every Tamil caste people resides in Dharavi. I personally have not come across Iyer and Iyenger over here. We can exclude these two castes from the Tamil Community living in Dharavi. In Tamil Nadu there is continuous caste violence going on. People get killed in the name of castes. Inter-caste married couples are hackled to death, burial grounds are denied to particular caste. The list goes on and goes on. However, when you come to Dharavi, here all Tamil castes co-exist peacefully. The average size of the house in which they reside in is less than 200 square feet. Most of the Tamilians over her...
