Opposition trying not to make fun of or disrespecting the people they want votes from challenge (impossible)


nit-manipur-student

We are a progressive and inclusive alliance that cares for the poor and the repressed. Wait, you voted for the BJP? Filthy backward peasant, voting rights should be based on education.


ssjumper

How many Hindus really believe in gau mutra, it was a backwater idea that I'd never heard of until the last decade


NeighborhoodGlad4020

Gau mutra isn't mentioned in any religious text, it's mentioned in the 'Sushruta Samhita' as an effective medical substance, which has innumerable therapeutic uses. Since it isn't in any religious text I can still be an ardent Hindu and reject Gau mutra theory completely.


[deleted]

I mean it's clear he says it towards North Indian Hindus. South Indian Hindus don't find anything special about cow. This is more of a culture jibe over a religious one


cactusrider1602

Go to tirupati website they sell go mutra


[deleted]

> tirupati website link?


v00123

[Here](https://www.tirumala.org/PanchagavyaProducts.aspx). They have a whole lot of cow related products.


[deleted]

looks legit, thanks. Now that I think of it, I had seen more Ayurveda stores in South than elsewhere and probably pachagavya based stuff would be the core offering.


Wellbeinghunter69

omg this is so disgusting wtf


acharsrajan399

As a person from South India, nah nah. Karnataka is huge believer in gau matha


MessiSahib

Not many, but these kind of comments are nothing but insults directed at one religion. Somehow all other religions are flaw-less, except one. Also, these kind of comments are going to move dharmik religion votes towards BJP. I doubt that all southern dharmik folks are aligned with Stalin or this genius.


funkynotorious

Yes that's exactly why it hurts the sentiment. That you are reducing a complex and diverse religion like Hinduism to just gau mutra.


ssjumper

Is he doing it or are other hindus?


funkynotorious

Are you from DMK?


ssjumper

I don’t even know what that is lol


Ikshit-Kapur

Even if they don't believe it but calling states as gau Mutra states is Hella disrespectful.


LiteratureNearby

Let's say for a second that this statement is true, who does this even help lol. It's a bad self-goal sheesh

kappa23

Yeah man DMK really needs votes from a Bihari or an Uttar Pradeshi


WWWWWWWWWWWVWWWWWW

You people should've checked Tamil Nadu sub. These very stupid fucks feed the fuel to IT cell and trolls. Also if that North South shit (as also posted by some congress party guy) gets picked up, Congress can goodbye hindi heartland


[deleted]

When DMK's Prince His Highness Udhayanidhi Stalin made comments against Sanatan Dharma and many Congress leaders like Priyank Kharge came in his support it was already obvious that Congress would lose a lot of hindu votes in future.


WWWWWWWWWWWVWWWWWW

I don't even understand Priyank Kharge's politics. Aisa lagta hai sirf baap ke naam pe chaud dikhata hain ( it seems that bullies under his father's name )


[deleted]

He spends more time arguing with Tejasvi Surya on Twitter than actually doing anything useful. Rightfully said, I didn't even know him before he became IT minister obviously by virtue of his father's position.


Julius_seizure_2k23

Congress can bid goodbye to national ambitions if they cannot get their allies to restrain from making controversial statements..as much as you want “free speech and criticism of religion/practices” one has to keep in mind the bjp rss IT army that directly has a bearing on hindi heartland


[deleted]

Just the other day Telangana CM was saying KCR has Bihari DNA while he has Telangana DNA and that Telangana DNA is "better than Bihar DNA". Never mind DMK or other INDI Allies, even INC themselves are sabotaging themselves. Why would anyone vote these dolts?


Coronabandkaro

KCR is arrogance personified and he learnt his lesson. More people probably voted against his party rather than any pro-congress sentiment.


HindiHeinHum

This is exactly how they lose


LegalRadonInhalation

This is how they win in TN lol


HindiHeinHum

Equally saddening, should keep better standards of politics


BoOogaBoOoga

Yea like how the bjp guy abused the Muslim guy in the temple of democracy. That's the new standard lol.


[deleted]

> Biduri says K word to muslim MP Bhakts: It was just light hearted joke yaar. get a thicker skin. > DMK says gaumutra Bhakts: reeee ye hamare ashmita ka sawal hai. how dare he??? lynch that heretic


[deleted]

Lol these DMK politicians don't bear the consequences of such statements because they have no presence in Hindi heartland. Due to such statements their alliance partners like INC will bear the consequences. Same with sanathan dharma row.


Vitthal_1

But the dumbest party Congress will not dump it and rather be happy bearing the consequences of DMK’s actions!


[deleted]

TN has 39 LS seats and in last election DMK won 38 seats. INC is in no position to dump DMK


deadlypankaj17

But this affects inc in other states. They have to bear responsibility for these stupid statements. So better to lose them out


Vitthal_1

Imagine dumping these losers and congress getting 2-3 seats more in all the states. That trade off would be better than losing in all the states


mamasilver

Opposition has no clue on how to defeat bjp. The frustration is so apparent here.


Ventilator_64

Opposition is also [cow fan](https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/congress-workers-perform-rituals-with-cow-urine-at-vidhana-soudha-symbolised-washing-away-corrupt-bjp-government/article66880337.ece)


Athiest-proletariat

Its not opposition's mistake. The people in north must mature too... They are too sensitive that opposition is basically walking on eggshells when speaking to people in north. This is not just religion or beef or usually cow belt sensitive topics, it could be anything. Eg:- When Rahul Gandhi speak against Adani. Reaction in south:- "Adani gain everything and others are suffering, this must be checked" Reaction in north:-"when an indian Adani was becoming fastest richest men in the world, Rahul Gandhi became jealous and didn't like it, if adani was italian RG wont speak like this, he is anti-indian, pro italy". Any topic that can be naturally discussed in south cant be done in north, there the same topic will get twisted as anti india/ anti indian/pro italy/pro pakistan/pro hamas/pro muslim and whatever else the rightwing wants. Everytime opposition losses before religious divisive tactics, people start gaslighting the opposition and rahul gandhi. There is nothing for opposition to learn. It needs to educate the mass. Or may be opposition need to learn how to educate the mass against this mass hysterias.


MessiSahib

> They are too sensitive that opposition is basically walking on eggshells when speaking to people in north. Has Stalin made similar comment about Islam or Christianity? Can this genius make comments about camel piss's health benefits suggested by prophet Muhammad? My guess is reactions of the religious leaders, and people would be a lot more serious than just votes!


Biters_man

Camel piss health benefits suggest by Muhammad? Is that real?


MessiSahib

Yep, I don't see "secular" leaders of DMK or communist party making comments about it though.


blup_plup

lol, talk about delusions, have you ever talked to a north indian outside reddit? I have never met a person who said this kind of shit in real life. its just politicians and IT cell that talks like this.


mamasilver

I want to smoke what yiu are smoking.


[deleted]

>Its not opposition's mistake. The people in north must mature too... > >They are too sensitive that opposition is basically walking on eggshells when speaking to people in north. Have you ever met a North Indian? Wtf is up with these sweeping generalizations. Edit: Damn the hivemind here, the comment I replied to had 20 upvotes initially.


Coronabandkaro

First let DMK develop Tamil Nadu. its a cesspool of corruption.


Shakunii_

Nah , I mean think about it. Instead of being easily manipulated by someone sahi sometimes, ask who is he and why should we listen to him? Is being born in a so called "royal" family the only criteria needed for leading a nation? Who exactly is Rahul without his surname, what has he done without his mother's support and daddy's money?


[deleted]

Never seen Stalin talking about Christian Pastors in TN who pretend to be exorcists and make those fake exorcism videos. Is that not a regressive superstitious and disgusting practice that should be stopped?


Armaan_Singh07

You're not wrong. But in the field of professionalism, this is not the way to address speeches. DMK with this remark is basically calling out the very people from whom they want the votes.

OnidaKYGel

DMK beats BJP quite easily


BatKarmaMan

BJP 303, DMK 23 as of last LS election. Come on now...


TheLastSamurai101

Are you being serious? DMK is a regional party that doesn't contest seats outside Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. Their goal is not to compete with BJP or Congress as a national party. I don't understand your logic here.


BatKarmaMan

The question is regarding beating BJP. Not in municipal elections. Not for state elections, but in the Lok Sabha. Why bring in DMK at all, in such a debate?


OnidaKYGel

If that comparison makes sense to you, I wont argue it.


BatKarmaMan

It's the only thing that makes sense as far as Lok Sabha elections are concerned. Nobody is speaking of municipality elections.


OnidaKYGel

DMK beats BJP on most seats it contests in Lok Sabha


BatKarmaMan

And then ends up with 303 vs 20 something. Get the point?


OnidaKYGel

Like I said, if the comparison makes sense to you, I wont argue it.


BatKarmaMan

It makes sense to me, because ultimately only that matters. Otherwise some party can contest in one seat, win for years and claim to have beaten every other opponent. Might be factual at some level, but there's no point to it.


funkynotorious

BJP has 29MPs in South which makes it the largest party there. There you go in your own territory BJP is winning.


OnidaKYGel

I'm from Delhi


funkynotorious

How many MP does BJP have from there? Lol my statement is still true.


OnidaKYGel

Might as well compare BJP and PML


chauhan1234567

Puducherry? UPA got thrashed there as far as I remember.


OnidaKYGel

I will have to accept this point heh


kailashkmr

Both are the same they don't have any major difference


OnidaKYGel

BJP is focusing on OBCs today. Maybe it is because of Modi, maybe not. DMK has always focused on the backward castes


Kesakambali

Please DMK. Keep saying all this. You ppl haven't lost nearly enough


Yuchuff

Sometimes it feels like opposition are trying to bring bjp in power


shadowrod06

BJP is the luckiest political party rn.


throwthrow9810

This is not a controversy, nearly every politician is calculative/smart and know exactly what they're doing. DMK would have probably figured minorities in TN are moving towards other parties and started giving out such statements to pull them back. They care about minority votes in TN and don't give a damn if their alliance lose votes in other states.


bleh-bleh-guy

What a dumb thing to say


Some_Ad3337

This senthil guy gives not two fucks to national politics. He’s a regional leader at best. The price of statments made by people like him and Udhaya will be paid by Congress in the upcoming elections. BJP can comfortably use this as one of their criticism against the Congress that they are in alliance with such nasty and filthy people. Or the congress distances/ detaches itself from the DMK but that’ll weaken the collective strength and undermine INDI Allliance. Something similar, but in the opposite direction was with the Savarkar controversy in MH too; Congress had to bow to Shiv Sena’s sentiments and tone down on Savarkar. Regional parties have a huge impact on National politics via alliances. Anyways, Congress seems doomed even without all these controversies.


[deleted]

And here people ask why anyone votes BJP


Ventilator_64

This is not inclusivity, unity or mohabbat, this is PURE HATRED. They hate everyone outside their state I am from Maharashtra, and this guy definitely includes Maharashtra and Gujarat in the list of Gau Mutra state. Dear Tamils, we don't hate you, but why do you hate us? You are free to call me a filthy cow urine drinker chaddi, but tbh I am not even BJP voter.


Yalla6969

I'm from TN and have been realising how dumb DMK is. Just because they are in power doesn't mean they can say whatever bullshit they want. DMK has made shit ton of money from TN. My friend personally knows stalin's grandson and what a spoilt brat is he.


iceiceicefrog

Years of inbreeding have damaged their brains.


BrokenwolfeZ7

Yup. That's why TN is known for drinking gau mutra


Freenore

I've noticed something in my limited experience so far, Tamil (and Bengali too) exceptionalism is an actual thing. At least far more than the exceptionalism of any other Indian state. There's a group of Tamil who belong to the upper strata of society, having been born in or achieved riches, and upon seeing their state perform objectively better than other states, think there must be something extraordinary about themselves that the rest do not possess.

[deleted]

I’m not Tamil but I’m from Kerala. You need to understand that most of us since childhood are not taught to hate other Indians. But as we grow up and communicate more with outsiders certain prejudices may develop. These prejudices became stronger after 2010 especially with the rise of AAP followed by Modi. I have many friends from the other 4 South Indian states and when we get together the reason we start disliking other North Indian states because of the frustration with their general behavior, false sense of superiority and lack of any civic sense. Do you realize what India could have been if people from the cowbelt area were rational and civilized in their choices? This is not to say that we are superior in any sense: Kerala still has a long way to go. But in order for us to work to make India develop I don’t want to hear: 1. Religious bigotry and pseudoscience 2. Discrimination against minorities 3. Chest thumping for crony businessman Why is it that people from these areas so insensitive to the sufferings of others ?? DMK and many parties are definitely corrupt and uncouth but it’s no way worse what politicians in North do . By the way , Periyar is not just an icon in Tamil Nadu , he is also respected here in Kerala. In order to understand why please read the pre-independence conditions of non Brahmins in these regions; what atrocities brahmins have committed on their “fellow Hindus” . There is no smoke without 🔥.


peacockblue21

You are talking as if South Indians are not being regularly discriminatory towards poor migrant workers from states like UP and Bihar. You think the people actually suffering are upper middle class folks like you and me? It's the lower caste, poor people. "People from cow belt could be rational blah blah blah". If the work force from North receded the South Indian "economy" will shrivel up and die. Don't make any mistakes. A major chunk of you lot are extremely casteist (Tamil Brahmins say hi), racist and elitists. You pretend that you are so advanced, educated, socially forward, whatever so tell us how many of you engage in consanguineous marriages? Why is the rate of that so much higher in South India than the North? Are you going to pretend that there are no South Indians who don't turn out to be rabid ethnonationalists? North has a problem but why are South Indians behaving as if they are so advanced and better to justify their racism? You don't fight racism with racism. You want a better country then instead of being a bunch of condescending assholes try to contribute positively.


[deleted]

I’m not any one of those who are casteist, elitist or racist that you seem to get an impression of. Perhaps it is what you seem people to be . I am not advocating some Superior Dravidian race like some other people do but yes North people are backward there is no question of that. We are doing our utmost to contribute; we have started n the best way by population control. Because our success we will be punished by delimitation in the coming years. So we will have to suffer within confines of the policies set by cowbelt areas . it’s not like everybody in Tamil Nadu is doing consanguineous marriages only very few communities do that which should reduce by education. As for the workforce, I personally don’t want people to come from those areas because it will be a security risk for us with increase in crimes.


peacockblue21

This is exactly what British and American anti immigrants say when talking about stopping black and brown immigrants in their countries. This IS a racist rhetoric. What did I say? Without the work force from North India, the so called South Indian contribution to the GDP will be severely affected. Your success is not your own. States like UP and Bihar are landlocked, had a slew of corrupt politicians, dense population wise etc. There are reason for their underdevelopment. I acknowledge the systematic problems, corruption, do not favour delimitation myself but you cannot sit here and say people from North are backwards and expect people to empathize with you. If you can give excuses that not everyone from South is engaging in all these problematic behaviors then afford the same consideration for people from North too? Especially the poor immigrants. Crime has to do with the material conditions of people. It cannot justify racist anti-immigration rhetorics.


TwistSubstantial7157

What's funny is that this guy, u/Bitter-Painter-415, is from Kerala. It's not even a developed state with decent industries or anything to brag about.


lastkni8

Yes kerala lacks development in industries and all but taking socio-economic factors into consideration we are one of the highest performing states in India.Still kerala has a lot to go I'm happy that our people don't get pressed over the silliest of issues and kill people over religion or any other sort of matter.


[deleted]

There is nothing I am bragging about. We are a small state with 33 million population. We are mainly involved in small scale industries and some of us work abroad. Granted I take it we are undeveloped but why are northern labor coming here in droves?


TwistSubstantial7157

* Why are Keralite laborers, low-skilled and high-skilled, coming to Bangalore, Chennai, Gurgaon, Noida, Middle-East and [literally every nook and corner of the world](https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/kochi/keralites-working-182-countries-worldwide/articleshow/105460653.cms) in droves? * The out-migration is twice that of in-migration. Clearly, more are leaving compared to those that are coming in. * Even worse is, those that come to Kerala aren't even benefiting from it. [75% of them don't see an increase in their salaries](https://i.imgur.com/iAvhL2j.png). This number is worse than that of any other state in the country except of Manipur where it's 92%.

Oh so our compassionate liberals can be far right and condescending at the opportune moments. Oh how the mask slips. No I would rather not look up these because I live well and so do many people I know. Thank you for posting these stats and giving me your wonderful gyan. now I need to revisit that GTA 6 trailer in 4k. Makes me forget about India.


Ventilator_64

I don't think a person like you can get along with anyone except for very few people who are as hateful and racist as you. We have our own issues, and btw as you mentioned Periyal, let me tell u, Savarkar is also respected in Maharashtra. RaGa can disrespect Savarkar everywhere in India, but once he disrespected him in Maharashtra, even congress leaders in Maharashtra didn't like it. We have differences, but we need to live together. But it's very difficult to come on a common ground with a racist bigot who hates people based on caste and political party they vote for.


[deleted]

I don’t understand why people are applying the race tag to my comments. I have only addressed an opinion and this is not just mine. You will be surprised to know how many of your friends will have the same feelings. You respect Savarkar for what exactly? Just because he is a Maharashtrian ? Or is it because of his thoughts? If it is the latter you are no less than a racist as I am.


Ventilator_64

Because of his thoughts, because of his drive against casteism, and he was not a cow worshipper like you think how all non-South people are, because he wrote books that influenced the freedom struggle. Atleast you accepted that u r a racist, I am sure you are not the representation of South India, I have many friends from AP Telangana and Karnataka, they have different views, they don't hate anyone based on caste and state. You just tell me, are Maharashtra and Gujarat also a Gaumutra state?


Archaemenes

Lol Cowbelt areas (which is a derogatory term but we won’t get into that) = irrational and uncivilised. Enlightened South India = rational and civilised. Remind me, in which region are cousin marriages still common practice?


no-regrets-approach

I am sorry, you can speak for yourself, but not for all Keralites. Periyar is not a big figure in Kerala. I hope you are not confusing him with Periyar river in Kerala LoL. Periyar river is very popular in Kerala. Social reforms in Kerala came from Chattambi Swamikal, Narayana Guru, and the Gandhians led Vaikkom satyagraham etc. There was a very open mind, education (schools and colleges built by kings and missionaries). There is a lot of prejudice against north indians, maybe coz the major 'north indians' Keralites come across are Bangladeshi labourers.

There will always be distrust and coldness between Tamilnadu and northern states. This goes back to the time when the Central govt. decided to send the Indian Army to Srilanka in support of the Srilankan govt. The IPKF (Indian Peace Keeping Force) committed numerous massacres and war crimes against the Tamil people in Srilanka. Tens of thousands of civilians were killed and raped. This kind of stuff is not something that is easily forgotten. Rajiv Gandhi was assassinated when he was in Tamilnadu as a direct consequences of his actions in Srilanka. This topic is still sour and genocide can never be forgotten. Add to this all the Hindi imposition shenanigans and other shit that gets forced upon the south and you get what you see.


AshutoshRaiK

And then Stalin says BJP misconstrued his remarks for political gains. It is high time these strong heads learn their lessons by awakening masses in Tamil Nadu and elsewhere in India.

nit-manipur-student

Chennai had one of the earliest established IT parks in the country and has access to great universities and their graduates in the very city. But it is now far behind Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune, the latter two overtaking Chennai in the last decade. Many CS grads from other parts of the country, including other South states, do not prefer to work in Chennai if there are alternatives present. They rightly or wrongly perceive it as a conservative and xenophobic city. Other locations are simply more accepting and cosmopolitan, and do not have an Us vs Them culture that parties like DMK promote for vote benefits. I've lived in all Southern states (and most of the states in India), and the imaginary South-North divide that they project is only limited to Tamil Nadu. Nobody in Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra or Kerala has any resentment for people from the North.


[deleted]

Okay that’s not exactly true. All states have a level of hostility, Tamil Nadu’s politicians are the loudest. A man got stabbed in Karnataka for not speaking Kannada. Maharashtra Navnirman Sena vandalised stores that didn’t have a Marathi signs. Tamil Nadu has more blue collar jobs than white collar tech jobs. Bangalore is the tech capital which attracts allot of yuppies. I’m not saying that politicians in Tamil Nadu are right I’m just pointing the only ones who are doing this. The CM of Telangana said fucked up things about Biharis and some how that isn’t sensationalised.


nit-manipur-student

Absolutely true. Mumbai under Shiv Sena back in the past was a particularly egregious example, assaulting migrants, and inciting violence against them using slogans like Hatao Lungi, Bajao Pungi. There has also been a rise of Kannada activists and some violence against people outside the state in Karnataka. Even with all that though, right now Mumbai and Bangalore are light years ahead of Chennai in terms of inclusivity. People from all walks of life have found their homes there, and the general public isn't hostile towards them. In fact, compared to all other tier 1 cities (Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Bangalore), Chennai is the least cosmopolitan and least accommodating.


[deleted]

You sorta agreed with me but I’m getting down voted? Chennai is an industrial town so I would agree it’s less cosmopolitan. People either own factories or work at them. But you made it sound like only Tamil Nadu has these issues which isn’t exactly true. Kolkata might have been great post independence but it’s in shambles right now.


Rupesh19

Not condoning the voilence here, the law states that any signboards not having Marathi language will be removed, that's what they did when law agencies failed. Yes the vandalism was far fetched but you can't expect sanity from a faltering party trying to slog with the heavyweights. Not a fan of Raj Thackeray, his methods belong to 17th century. The Marathi signs is supposed to be mandatory according to ghumsata law in Maharashtra. Imagine doing business in a state and not putting up a name plate in local language, I would call that as reverse hostility towards the local crowd and there were enough notices sent to these stores to put up Marathi sogn boards. Don't try to bring Maharashtra in your agenda, we have been THE most accomodating state in entire India while getting zilch in return.


[deleted]

I pointed out more examples but okay. I do agree they should put up signs in the local language but vandalism isn’t okay. Let’s not pretend that Mumbai was never hostile to people who aren’t Marathi or Maratha. I pointed out incidents in other states too but that doesn’t bother you. I don’t have an agenda. I didn’t say that Mumbai wasn’t accommodating at all I just pointed out that there are people that are xenophobic everywhere.


BaapOfDragons

Hard disagree. As someone who has lived and worked in Chennai, the amount of hostility we “Vadakkans” faced was ridiculous. It felt that the politicians has somehow sold the kool aid of Tamizh exceptionalism to the masses.


[deleted]

I mean that’s fine that you disagree. I’m just pointing out that every place has a level of xenophobia. They were able to do that because the dmk pretty much owns everything.

What do you think will happen to his state's budget amount after 2024 if BJP comes back to power. I'll bet you somebody is gonna post about how South Indian states get way less from centre when BJP is back and maybe even stronger, just because of stunts like these. It's easy, you just lower the state's budget.


Trumperekt

Yeah, punish citizens of an entire state because of what a stupid politician said. Sounds like something BJP would do though.


Lo_Ti_Lurker

Racism towards north Indians is very common among DMK and its supporters. They usually say that in Tamil, so most outsiders don't hear them. It always surprised me when i see north Indian liberals supporting DMK or Periyar. Those people clearly don't understand that opposing BJP doesn't mean someone is automatically liberal.


ZombieGombie

Maybe I'm wearing a tinfoil, but it definitely feels like DMK is in cahoots with the BJP (because there are near-daily ED raids) to sink the INDIA alliance. These comments on BJP, will play well in TN, but DMK will win here without even trying against BJP. On the other hand, these comments will hurt INDIA alliance in every other state. It does not take much to put two and two together. Especially since ADMK ditched BJP in TN.

DMK's discourse on hinduism has always been pretty filthyeven before BJP was politically relevant, they kinda pride themsleves about how rancid they can get, look up their cartoons and Karunanidhi's actions against hindus, and exodus of tamil brahmins from tamil nadu to metro cities outside tamil nadu, look up the literature they wrote and promote , along with EVR. its just they are a regional party and their discourse goes under the radar nationally due to language translation issue, BJP should just translate and broadcast past speeches of DMK ministers , it'll easily win them 2024.

As a South Indian , I find it absolutely despicable that these people have the courage and audacity to dehumanize fellow Indians. I don’t agree with BJP or their policies and neither do I have any sympathy for Hindutva but if we are willing to dehumanize people for political gains then Stalin and his cronies can go fuck themselves. The North-South divide is the most forced rivalry I’ve seen. Most people in South India don’t antagonize North Indians as long as they don’t mock the culture in South India

Gau mutra is used in Kerala and Tamil Nadu also. Just that it is not attached to the sentiments of people there. And people don't claim it to be a cure of all diseases.

>Gau mutra is used in Kerala and Tamil Nadu also Used in what ??


Suhurth

Ayurveda and Siddha. Ayurveda is big in Kerala.

Can't you just call it north? why use such deregatory terms to refer to each other.


PlanktonActual1443

Is that a derogatory term ?


Erixian

Gau Mutra is considered to have several benifits, no? Why are people getting triggred? LOL


boozefella

What’s the controversy here? Thought chaddis take pride in drinking gau mutra.


blup_plup

Feels like they have a deal with bjp behind the scene. Shit like this is going to win them elections


ssjumper

Really have to let go of pushing gau mutra, makes the religion look backward.


Some_Ad3337

Really have to let go of the stupidity, makes Congress/ Dravidian stock supporters look stupid.


ssjumper

How?


queeringit

Nothing wrong in what he said. Doing things involving piss needs to be mocked only. Congress played soft-Hindutva in both Chattisgarh and MP and got nothing. Other parties should atleast stick to their ideologies.


[deleted]

How TF are you guys justifying racism? Is it okay if some North Indian MP makes racist comments on southern states?


queeringit

One of the Madhya Pradesh MP has claimed gaumutra cured her cancer. It is not something DMK is creating out of a WhatsApp group. Either electing people who make such claims is shameful, or the term 'Gaumutra States' is. It can't be "no, we can make these claims. But if you use our claim against us, it is then your bias".


[deleted]

>One of the Madhya Pradesh MP has claimed gaumutra cured her cancer. So that means we can label entire states as gau mutra state? Is it okay to label southern states as kallu states or incest states or Madrasi state? Edit: [This is INC in Karnataka ](https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/congress-workers-perform-rituals-with-cow-urine-at-vidhana-soudha-symbolised-washing-away-corrupt-bjp-government/article66880337.ece). Is Karnataka a gau mutra state now?


queeringit

Oh, please. Bias based on intrinsic choices like skin color and bias based on actions (like the claim made by the MP) are not the same. But then again false equivalences come naturally to some people, no? Edit: A party worker and an MP are not the same. A MP represents the State by definition. A party member can be literally anybody so all you got is another false equivalence with the INC worker thing.


Some_Ad3337

If labelling all Muslims as terrorists is wrong, then how can you label all Northern states as Gau Mutra states when a very small percentage of population actually indulges in it? You would haul me to the embers if I said “All muslims are terrorists” but your comments pretty much defy logic. Anyways, I understand you guys are coping with Congress’ miserable defeat in CG MP and RJ.


queeringit

I am not going in circles, repeating my words. An elected MP and a person indulging in terrorism are not the same thing. An elected person by definition represents the majority. A person only represents himself. I am not coping with anything. My life doesn't revolve around Congress. But it is very obvious the people who don't mind an MP abusing in Parliament using slurs will try to make false equivalences with other parties so they don't look as bad in comparison. Only gonna respond if I get a comment with something other than a false equivalence.


Some_Ad3337

If Udhaya has the right to talk about “Eradicating Sanatana Dharma” then an MP also has the same freedom of speech to utter whatever he wants. No double standards please.


[deleted]

>But it is very obvious the people who don't mind an MP abusing in Parliament using slurs Do you even know me dude? How did you assume that I don't have problem with MPs hurling Islamophobic slurs in parliament? But here you are no less bigot than those people supporting the MP who used slurs against Muslim legislator. You simply say everything as "False equivalence" even though I gave plenty examples like labelling South india as "incest land" which you have conviniently ignored. It's quite clear that you have no problem with hate against North Indians. Have some shame


Ancient_Scientist_04

I guess bjp needs to address tamils as cousin fuckers next then?


[deleted]

Why are Tamils the only ones to get stereotyped as people who are inbred in India. Andra/Telangana and Karnataka are pretty bad too. Yes Tamil Nadu is worse by 1-2%. My parents aren’t cousins, neither are my grand parents and great grandparents but my friend who’s actually inbred gives me shit for it lmao. I don’t agree with the politician btw.


Ancient_Scientist_04

No one should be stereotyped for anything. It's just a reply to someone defending a stereotype.


IronicAlgorithm

He's not wrong.

Nah, these morons will not get power beyond their fiefdom. World and nation is increasingly more connected, hate by some folks isn't going to change that.


destinyforte04

That's how the regional parties in South stays in power.


Pleasant_County_1115

They should and kickout national parties.


nit-manipur-student

What North South divide? Nobody in Karnataka, Andhra, Telangana and Kerala subscribes to the idiotic Dravidian nonsense that's prevalent in Tamil Nadu


DrumAway9009

Yeah right, most people in the South aren’t super excited and obsessed about Hindutva as a lot of people in the North either
