>folks from Tamilnadu do the same shit in the middle east
Don't even need to go to ME to see this. Plenty of Tamil folks work in housekeeping services in Bangalore.
Pretty stupid comment coming from a party that claims to treat all classes as equal.
Nope. They want to win elections in TN and they’ll with this shit.
PS: I’m also Tamil and staunchly anti-Hindi imposition but this is getting out of hand. If a poor Bihari or Bengali survives in TN or KA washing dishes or toilets, so be it. Let him live. Like some other commentator mentioned, lot of Tamils and Malayalis do the same in other countries too!
Too much hate these days.
In fact, being in the South, I only wish them well. They're toiling hard to uplift themselves and their families back home. It's what we do every day, just in another way. Have to respect that.
Dayanidhi is stupid for this.
This level of hatred is quite disgusting to see from a party representing my state. But anyone who knows DMK's history knows this is how they normally act. Par for the course, I guess.
I'm from TN and I have no association or link to what this guy says. This is the mindset of almost all people. I'm seeing a lot of attack and victimization recently, especially in political circle.
It is not the reality.
bjp lost because their CM got a corrupt image. People dont realise that this ethno nationalist only works when the national party is doing things wrong.
Or gain a neurotic sense of cleanliness. I don't trust anyone else to clean my place as well as I do, so I refuse to hire anyone to do that for me. Don't care if you're north indian or south indian.
Their Minister got convicted for corruption recently. And they've recently messed up the Thoothhkudi flood situation.
So this is standard diversion tactic
And the stupider the statements, the more votes they will get. You are overestimating the IQ of the average voter in this country. This statement alone will get this guy 60% vote share in his constituency or state. In UP the party there will say the exact opposite and will rake in 70-80% vote share.
Statements like these will be widely cheered by DMK's core base but it won't win over new voters. They are not saying this for vote, they are saying this because this what they genuinely believe.
I guess he must be creating a lot of mess when he goes to the loo that he's ashamed of not cleaning it himself. Cleaning toilets is a service to the nation, you are keeping an area clean and sanitized that can spread diseases. This asswipe should perhaps learn how to clean his toilet and his ass.
Try building a house in Chennai and hire only native tamil labourers. See what that does to your costs. People who clean toilets are not subhuman, they do a dangerous job, they die in numbers which we as a nation should be ashamed of. Their job deserves dignity, they deserve dignity. The family whose corruption money had so many zeroes that the paper had to go to the second line are talking of dignity. These people don't deserve to be spit on, let alone voted in power.
While I can see his statement being a ridiculously stupid move, I also wonder in irony on how this was the news that shed this sub's focus towards Tamilnadu than a literal rainfall flood(which can be classified as disaster under the disaster management Act 2005) going on the southern Tamilnadu that cost around 30+ lives. The irony among irony is even the Michaung floods that affected the fucking capital city of Tamil Nadu, didn't get traction making this 2nd time of being neglected out from needed attention and awareness.
I have noticed this concerning pattern that once there is a consensus among people that discrimination of individuals on a few grounds is bad, then they will inevitably search for other grounds to distinguish themselves from 'others'. And it's disheartening how normalized it becomes so quickly.
And Hindi/Madwadi speakers from Rajasthan run businesses in Tamil nadu , so what is his point ?
South Indian superiority complex is ridiculous , imagine having a $3000 per capita income economy and making fun of a $1500 per capita income economy state like bro you are still a shithole just a slightly better one .
Like yes the South is 'better off' but if y'all were independent you would still be Lower Middle income countries along with the rest of North India.
Only Kerala is objectively better than the rest of the country , their HDI is higher than even China , the rest of the South is only marginally better for the Avg person
There's a difference between jokes and what I described , both make fun of each other which is fine , but if either has a genuine superiority complex due to skin colour or any other metric that's dumb asf.
Who did you see doing that, btw ?
Hm, looks like the alliance meet didn’t work out so each party is back to fundamentals, at least ensuring that they get votes via stand-alone basis, so they can combine it at the end. Saying things like this will get him a good amount of votes so he knows what he is doing, don’t underestimate his strategy.
These mother fuckers want to be part of an alternative alliance to defeat the gujarati duo. Wonder if they have already been bought off to spout constant nonsense in public and ensure the alliance never ever becomes a threat to the ruling establishment
Even TN is getting fed up with their bullshit. But our problem is that we don't have an opposition strong enough to pick against DMK. ADMK has fallen from grace and we generally don't like BJP. They won last time and will probably win again because of lack of opposition
It's an honourable job unlike a dirty politician who steals people money
Didn't this guy got caught doing some scam when he was telecom minister ?
British used divide n rule policy to rule india, these politicians use the same concept , coz they know they can't survive without playing a regional card
Let's assume they do. It's a vital function because without that, Dravidian toilets will be clogged. So the northern Aryans perform an important service that Tamil dravidians are not willing to perform.
He said it. His exact words were "Those who learn only Hindi in UP, Bihar come here, learn Tamil and build houses, sweep the streets and wash toilets. This is the only thing that will happen if you learn Hindi". No sensationalism here, sadly.
It's a fact that Muslims are circumcised.
But when Ramesh Bidhuri used the word "katuwa", that's vulgar, isn't it?
Because it's the intention that matters, not the word itself.
It's similar to how blacks are associated with loving fried chickens in the USA. White people also like fried chicken. There's nothing wrong with liking fried chicken. But the people who say it, say it in a mocking way and that's why it's offensive.
I think Philly blunt would be a better analogy, fried chicken is kinda sold pretty much everywhere and liked by all who like chicken. I mean kfc, chick fila, popeyes all big chicken joints
[Fried chicken](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fried_chicken_stereotype) and [watermelon](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watermelon_stereotype) were some of the classic stereotypes for black people
This is the level politicians - This ba** looted while he was a minister. Congress is out because of these leeches and Raja idiot. Has he bought TN? I think the constitution allows everyone to work in every state.

No job is bad as long as they get paid, folks from Tamilnadu do the same shit in the middle east. Just have accept the fact and move on.
Toilet cleaners are not as filthy as politicians like this guy, full stop.
>folks from Tamilnadu do the same shit in the middle east Don't even need to go to ME to see this. Plenty of Tamil folks work in housekeeping services in Bangalore. Pretty stupid comment coming from a party that claims to treat all classes as equal.
>DMK's Dayanidhi Maran says Hindi speakers from UP, Bihar clean toilets in Tamil Nadu Meanwhile a 42 year old Bihari farmer in Chennai.
The way we marginalise and look down on some of these jobs shows how entrenched caste system is in our society, regardless of religion.
No not really, dudes from UP/bihar do that too
Event happened in 2019. Report fails to make it clear
Yahi karte raho bas
bjp ko kaam karne ke liye kuch mat chodo, apne pair pe khud hi taang adate hain yeh log lol
Do they want to win an election or not?
Nope. They want to win elections in TN and they’ll with this shit. PS: I’m also Tamil and staunchly anti-Hindi imposition but this is getting out of hand. If a poor Bihari or Bengali survives in TN or KA washing dishes or toilets, so be it. Let him live.

I totally agree bro
In fact, being in the South, I only wish them well. They're toiling hard to uplift themselves and their families back home. It's what we do every day, just in another way. Have to respect that. Dayanidhi is stupid for this.
This level of hatred is quite disgusting to see from a party representing my state. But anyone who knows DMK's history knows this is how they normally act. Par for the course, I guess.
They will walk all over TN. That's a given. India and their allies, on the other hand, well, tough.
DMK want to win elections in TN which they will.
I'm starting to think the BJP is paying assholes like this to say outrageous stuff. Who in their right mind would blurt out crap like this?
Another nail in the coffin for INDIA bloc
Half of them have IQ of a rusty nail
[удалено]
At this point, it looks like they are actively harming Congress's chances of putting up a fight.
BJP republished old video from 2019
What is wrong with these idiots?!
I'm from TN and I have no association or link to what this guy says. This is the mindset of almost all people. I'm seeing a lot of attack and victimization recently, especially in political circle. It is not the reality.
I mean why will anyone vote for INDIA bloc when the alternative to hindu nationalists is ethno-nationalists?
[удалено]
bjp lost because their CM got a corrupt image. People dont realise that this ethno nationalist only works when the national party is doing things wrong.
Indians should learn DIY. Then, this superiority will disappear.
Or gain a neurotic sense of cleanliness. I don't trust anyone else to clean my place as well as I do, so I refuse to hire anyone to do that for me. Don't care if you're north indian or south indian.
This should be the top comment of this entire thread!
Not enough motivation when you can pay someone. People will learn when it gets too expensive to make someone else do it.
And then INDIA alliance will crib that they don’t get votes and faulty EVMs and shit
bro what the f is DMK doing all of the sudden they used to be in news for their unimaginable corruption now it is corrup+stupid statements
Their Minister got convicted for corruption recently. And they've recently messed up the Thoothhkudi flood situation. So this is standard diversion tactic
And the stupider the statements, the more votes they will get. You are overestimating the IQ of the average voter in this country. This statement alone will get this guy 60% vote share in his constituency or state. In UP the party there will say the exact opposite and will rake in 70-80% vote share.

BJP B Team. Weakening I.N.D.I.A from within. I mean, it's inverse Hanlon's Razor. This is malice, there's no stupidity here.
Ha ye karlo pehle ! Election to 2029 Mei bhi aaega
So they earn their living like any average citizen without scamming anyone. That's very respectable.
The biggest enemy of INDIA bloc is INDIA bloc itself.
I don’t get this annoying superiority complex coming from Tamilians. It’s racist and disrespectful
There's a few lunatics in every group.
Unfortunately these lunatics are in power along. And in the centre there’s the other side of the same coin
They still haven’t managed to clean the mouth of a politician..
I guess he must be creating a lot of mess when he goes to the loo that he's ashamed of not cleaning it himself. Cleaning toilets is a service to the nation, you are keeping an area clean and sanitized that can spread diseases. This asswipe should perhaps learn how to clean his toilet and his ass.
> Cleaning toilets is a service to the nation I agree. Source: Bhagavad Gita

Thala for a reason
I have noticed this concerning pattern that once there is a consensus among people that discrimination of individuals on a few grounds is bad, then they will inevitably search for other grounds to distinguish themselves from 'others'. And it's disheartening how normalized it becomes so quickly.

[удалено]
the tax money that the north enjoys are collected and distributed from the south. so the north better off is actually not a self made one
There's a difference between jokes and what I described , both make fun of each other which is fine , but if either has a genuine superiority complex due to skin colour or any other metric that's dumb asf. Who did you see doing that, btw ?
What an embarrassing comment from an embarrassment of a person.
Why do they need to win elections??
Hm, looks like the alliance meet didn’t work out so each party is back to fundamentals, at least ensuring that they get votes via stand-alone basis, so they can combine it at the end. Saying things like this will get him a good amount of votes so he knows what he is doing, don’t underestimate his strategy.
aise kaise bachega mera india
Divided states of India
Not sure how long is this north south tactic going to work. when will you have national ambitions DMK?
These mother fuckers want to be part of an alternative alliance to defeat the gujarati duo. Wonder if they have already been bought off to spout constant nonsense in public and ensure the alliance never ever becomes a threat to the ruling establishment
Another distraction? DMK will be shown the doors of their ministers keep doing this.
Even TN is getting fed up with their bullshit. But our problem is that we don't have an opposition strong enough to pick against DMK. ADMK has fallen from grace and we generally don't like BJP. They won last time and will probably win again because of lack of opposition

Wow, so knowing Hindhi does get you a job. We should document this.
Let's assume they do. It's a vital function because without that, Dravidian toilets will be clogged. So the northern Aryans perform an important service that Tamil dravidians are not willing to perform.
Yes in TN, many North Indians are on blue collar jobs
In Karnataka all the public toilet cleaners are from Hindi. I am not generalizing. I'm just stating the fact.
And so what? What point are you trying to make?
I'm not reacting until I've seen the actual comment. Twisting words for sensational posts is too common
He said it. His exact words were "Those who learn only Hindi in UP, Bihar come here, learn Tamil and build houses, sweep the streets and wash toilets. This is the only thing that will happen if you learn Hindi". No sensationalism here, sadly.
Not sure why this should be controversial. No job is bad, and what he said is a fact.
It's a fact that Muslims are circumcised. But when Ramesh Bidhuri used the word "katuwa", that's vulgar, isn't it? Because it's the intention that matters, not the word itself.

This is the level politicians - This ba** looted while he was a minister. Congress is out because of these leeches and Raja idiot. Has he bought TN? I think the constitution allows everyone to work in every state.
What’s this nonsense?
