“P*nda Mavane, K**dhi Mavane”: DMK Leader Verbally Abuses SC Youth For Entering Temple

By
The Commune
-

In yet another instance of DMK leaders exhibiting feudal casteist mindset, a DMK functionary in Salem was caught on camera verbally abusing a Scheduled Caste youth allegedly for entering the village temple.

According to reports, the incident occurred in Salem’s Thirumalaigiri village where a Dalit youth, had entered a temple maintained by the Vanniyar community on 19 January 2023. The temple comes under the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department (HR&CE).

The video in which the DMK Union Secretary Manickam abusing the Dalit youth with expletives has now gone viral on social media.

In the above video, the DMK leader can be heard threatening “Hey! Look at me and tell. Will smash you. You don’t like the people of this village being well? Who asked you to go inside man? Tell man! (inaudible).. Were you sucking (uses equivalent cuss word in Tamil) last night? Who asked you to go? You won’t be able to stay in this village, mind you!”

“For the sake of everyone’s welfare and the welfare of the village, I am sitting here without sleeping every dawn for the last fifteen days, puluthi p*nda (cuss word in Tamil) , you will talk about justice p*nda (cuss word in Tamil denoting female genitalia) is it?”, the DMK leader says.

“Hey you p*nda mavane! Will just whack you! K**dhi! (another cuss word denoting female genitalia) !…. Aren’t the people here men? You think you are better than the men here?”, the DMK leader goes on to intimidate the youth.

Abusing the person next to the youth, the DMK leader says “Who are you p*nda? Will whack you! Mind your work. You will die without food and water. You can’t go anywhere!”.

“K**dhi mavane (cuss word in Tamil), I have been asking you all to work, you are doing these kind of underground jobs p*nda is it?

He further claimed that none from his village and the surrounding village wanted to visit the temple.

The incident occurred 10 days ago, no formal complaint has been registered. After the video went viral on social media, the DMK announced that the party has temporarily suspended Manickam from all roles including that of primary membership for  “acting against the party’s policies and bringing a bad image to the party”.

Man Who Killed His Pregnant Wife Is A Bangladeshi Immigrant, B’luru Police Confirm

By
The Commune
-

Recently, a 22-year-old pregnant woman was killed by her newlywed hardware engineer husband in Bengaluru over suspected illicit affair. It has been revealed that the murder accused was an illegal immigrant from Bangladesh.

The Karanataka Police with the help of West Bengal Police managed to arrest the accused, Nasir Hussain, 29, while he was trying to cross the international border near Siliguri, West Bengal, on 19 January 2023.

According to the police officials, Hussain had entered India illegally in 2014-15. “He was a hardware engineer by skill and not education. Hussain had worked in cities like Kolkata, and Delhi, and other places and acquired the skill to repair mobile phones and laptops,” police officials were quoted saying.

The Sudduguntepalya police launched a manhunt to nab the accused Nasir Hussain who was on the run after strangulating his newly married wife to death. Nasir had sent a message to the brother of the victim and informed him about the murder, and asked him to collect the body from the apartment where the couple lived.

Police officers stated that Nasir Hussain married Naz Khanum around six months ago. The victim’s family was not aware about the accused but still gave consent since it was a ‘love marriage’. However, after the marriage the accused started to suspect Naz, accusing her of having an affair with her brother-in-law and used to fight with her frequently.

On January 15, the accused killed his wife and locked the door from outside. He boarded the flight to Delhi and informed Naz’s brother that he killed her due to suspected illicit affair. Upon receiving this information, Naz’s family rushed to the apartment to find her lying dead. The Sudduguntepalya police then formed a special team to track down the accused.

During the probe, the police tracked the movements of Hussain who by then had flown to Delhi and from there had taken another flight to Kolkata. They foiled his plans to cross the border by passing the message to the West Bengal Police who nabbed him on January 19. They handed him over to the Karnataka Police.

The Witch-hunt Of Suresh Chavhanke Through Abuse Of Judicial Process

By
The Commune
-

The Supreme Court with over 60,000 pending cases, on Friday obsessively heard not one but two cases targeting Suresh Chavhanke in two different benches prejudicially branding him a ‘serial offender’ of ‘hate speech’ demanding severe action and arrest. The Supreme Court generally zealously protects the free speech of television channels, newspapers, writers, journalists, politicians, activists, etc. routinely abusing Hinduism, Hindu Gods and Goddesses, and even dubious secessionist elements raising slogans to break the country apart in smithereens.

The present Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud had even very famously remarked in 2018 while dealing with the case of provocative seditious hate speeches given at the Elgaar Parishad by Maoists and jihadis that resulted in deadly riots at Bhima Koregaon as mere ‘dissent and safety valve of democracy’.

Well, then what is it about Suresh Chavhanke and Sudarshan News that rankles two different benches of the Supreme Court so much that it wants to even waive the general settled rule of discouraging baseless arrests? Let us examine the cases in question against Suresh Chavhanke which makes the Supreme Court get more worked up against him than the jihadi, Maoist terrorists.

December 2021 Hate Speech Case Against Suresh Chavhanke

The Supreme court bench of CJI DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Narasimha was hearing a contempt petition filed by Tushar Gandhi, controversial great-grandson of MK Gandhi, claiming a delay in action by the Delhi Police against people who gave alleged ‘hate’ speeches with ‘call for violence’ at the purported ‘Dharam Sansad’ on 19th December 2021 in violation of the directions given by the Supreme Court in the 2018 judgement of Tehseen Poonawala case.

CJI Chandradchud on Friday rapped the Delhi Police for a five months delay in filing the FIR in the matter on 4th May 2022. The CJI bench also wanted to know why no chargesheet has been filed and no arrests made in the matter till now.

Notably, Suresh Chavhanke, the Editor in Chief of Sudarshan News attended a Hindu Yuva Vahini program on 19th December 2021 in Govindpuri, Delhi where he reportedly took an oath for a Hindu Rashtra in the name of Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj for protecting Dharma and propagating the traditional values and culture of Hinduism. This Hindu Yuva Vahini program has been repeatedly misreported as Dharma Sansad to evoke the equivalence of speeches made at Haridwar in 2022 January.

In any case, the Delhi Police after careful examination of the videotapes and materials available in the public domain had given an Affidavit to the Supreme Court in April 2022 that no criminal offence is made out in the speeches made in Delhi ‘Dharam Sansad’ on 19th December 2021. The Delhi Police reportedly said in the Affidavit in April last year, “After a deep inquiry and evaluation of the contents of the video, police did not find any substance in the videos as per the allegations levelled by the complainants. In the video clip of the Delhi incident, there is no utterance against any particular section. Hence, after inquiry and evaluation of the alleged video clip, it was concluded that the alleged speech did not disclose any hate words against a particular community as alleged or otherwise.” The Delhi Police had also informed the court that all complaints are now closed.

The Supreme Court then upset with the Delhi Police’s statement directed further investigations into the matter and file a FIR. So, the Delhi Police instead of standing its ground, after a month on 5th May 2022 filed a FIR in the case and Suresh Chavhanke was made an accused and charged under Sections 153A, 295A, 298 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code for purported ‘hate speech’. Well, if the hate speech did not exist in the original videos and materials examined till April 2022, from where does this new hate speech emerge? It seems more like a case of Delhi Police trying to create an imaginary offence to satisfy the outraged sentiments of the Supreme Court and not based on evidence and facts.

So, why is the Supreme Court ceding to the demands of leftists and anti-Hindu activists like Tushar Gandhi to somehow nail Suresh Chavhanke? Pertinently, the contempt hearing was reportedly held without even issuing a notice to Suresh Chavhanke to make his representation and give his statement in the matter to defend himself.

The CJI bench has now ordered that the Delhi Police should file the progress report in the case since May 2022 within two weeks and also take appropriate action to file a chargesheet in the matter.

The above case indicates a witch-hunt against Suresh Chavhanke where the Supreme Court wants to create a non-existent offence to satisfy agenda driven petitioners and sit in judgement of that imaginary offence. As it tries to allude that taking an oath for a ‘Hindu Rashtra’ on Chattrapati Shivaji Maharaj as a ‘hate speech’ and ‘call for violence’. The Delhi Police had clearly stated in its earlier Affidavit that no call for violence against any religious community was made by Suresh Chavhanke nor were any weapons brandished in the 19th December 2021 program.

Double Standards Of The Supreme Court On Hate Speech

Notably, the test of hate speech meriting an offence has always been stressed by the Supreme Court as a call for violence in the speech and any consequent violence or riots resulting due to the concerned hate speech. In Suresh Chavhanke’s matter none seems to be the case, yet the Supreme Court in its urge to satisfy its own woke ‘minority’ appeasement wants to curb the fundamental right to free speech and right to life and liberty of Suresh Chavhanke by berating the Delhi Police to make arrests and file chargesheet.

The same Court is blissfully not bothered about the venomous hate speeches by Akbaruddin Owaisi, Waris Pathan, Amanatullah Khan, Mohammed Zubair, Munnavar Rana, Tauqeer Raza Khan, Sharjeel Imam, Tasleem Rahmani, Maulana Sajid Rashid, Ilyas Sharafuddin, Zakir Naik, Prof. Ratan Lal, Saba Naqvi, Arfa Khanum Sherwani, Rana Ayyub, etc. the list is endless and can be a topic for an article dedicated for the same.

Mohammed Zubair’s tweets resulted in unleashing a bloodthirsty riotous ‘Sar Tan Se Juda’ mob all over India and a series of gory beheadings and killings for so-called ‘blasphemy’ of Khaniya Lal, Umesh Kolhe, etc. Ex-BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma was forced to go into hiding from public life due to the bloodcurdling jihadi mobs wanting to behead her, and gangrape Nupur Sharma and her entire family. Yet the Supreme Court was not bothered to demand Mohammed Zubair’s arrest nor curb his Alt News from manufacturing fake news against Hindus inciting Muslims on a routine basis. In fact, Nupur Sharma was blamed for the jihadi beheadings and Sar Tan Se Juda mobs by the Supreme Court justifying the beheadings of Hindus as ‘emotional reactions’! There are no orders by the Supreme Court to arrest Tasleem Rahmani the original offender who insulted the Shivling found at the Gyanvapi Masjid as some ‘fountain’ which provoked Nupur Sharma to cite Islamic Hadiths about Mohammed and Ayesha’s relationship in a TV debate.

Bunch Of Hate Speech Cases In The Supreme Court

Another bench of Supreme Court comprising Justices KM Joseph and BV Nagarathna on Friday heard a bunch of “Hate Speech” petitions against UPSC Jihad program of Sudarshan News, Corona Jihad- a term gaining currency in the wake of an irresponsible meeting of Superspreader Tablighi Jamaat Markaz in Delhi, Dharam Sansad speeches and petition seeking general directions against hate speech.

Notably, no notice was issued to Suresh Chavhanke or Sudarshan News while hearing the matter and Justice KM Joseph reportedly singled out Suresh Chavhanke and castigated him as a ‘serial offender’ and condemned him without even hearing his side of the story. Thus violating a basic cardinal principle of natural justice.

UPSC Jihad Case

It is pertinent that the content of Sudarshan News’ UPSC Jihad program was based on systematic factual research and data which is neither refuted nor challenged by the petitioners in the Supreme Court. The program was targeted because it exposed the meticulous design of Islamists to invade the elite Union Public Service Commission, for jihadist-friendly administration in pursuance of the Ghazwa e Hind goal of Pakistan.

UPSC Jihad program troubled the Islamophilic judiciary, politicians, authors, and ‘intelligentsia’ so much that the program series was aborted by the Supreme Court. The general refrain, ‘Hinduism is not so weak to crumble under criticism’ offered by the Indian judiciary to curb action against hate speech denigrating Hindus/ Hinduism, is given a miss when it comes to Islam. In any case, the UPSC Jihad program did not exhort people to kill Muslims or attack Muslims, it only highlighted the national security threat posed by the Zakat Foundation funded by terror-linked organisations systematically planting Muslims in the UPSC.

Notably, in September 2021 a viral video surfaced which showed a Muslim IAS officer converting Hindus and urging Muslims to convert the whole world to Islam. IAS officer named Mohammad Iftikaruddin was seen in an undated video in his capacity as Kanpur Zone Commissioner holding meetings at his official residence to fan Islamist sentiments and promote conversions. When the video surfaced Mohammad Iftikharuddin was serving as the Chairman of the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation. So, UPSC Jihad is not quite a figment of imagination.

UPSC Jihad program of Sudarshan News also tested the exalted freedom of press guaranteed by the Constitution of India under Article 19 (1) (a). While Zakir Naik’s speeches have been proven to instigate jihadi terrorism in Bangladesh and India, he has never been brought to justice. Zakir Naik, in his speeches, freely available on the internet, not only openly abuses Hindu Gods and Goddesses but also admits with impunity, “the Quran says wherever you find a Kafir (Hindu) kill him”.

The Supreme Court is neither worried about Akbaruddin Owaisi being let off scot-free by a Special Sessions Judge of Hyderabad in Telangana for a venomous speech that instigated Muslims of India to kill all Hindus. He very infamously asked the police to step aside for 15 minutes and claimed 25 crore Muslims will wipe out the 100 crore Hindus in just 15 minutes. He also abused Lord Rama and his mother Devi Kaushalya which caused a huge public uproar. The internet is flooded with videos of the aforementioned hate speech of Akbaruddin Owaisi given to a large thunderous cheering Muslim crowd. Now for the Indian judiciary, this is not evidence of hate speech, but Suresh Chavhanke exposing UPSC Jihad in his TV news channel is ‘hate speech’.

Justice Joseph further reportedly asked the government law officer, ASG KM Natraj, why exemplary fines are not slapped on TV channels like Sudarshan News to make it economically unviable. Wow! So, now we have the custodians of Free Speech literally demanding to throttle free press, just because it does not pander to Islamophilia. Justice Joseph then reportedly stated that news anchors like Suresh Chavhanke should be removed and their speeches should be edited out and not broadcast! The bench then asked the Centre to frame special laws to curb hate speech.

Gross Abuse Of Judicial Process To Target Hindus

We therefore now have a system where the judicial process is abused to scuttle free speech of Hindus, kill free media which exposes jihadist conspiracies, and air factual incidents of jihadi attacks seeking justice for Hindu victims. Free media is the fourth pillar of democracy, but it seems that only media which spews venom against Hindus or Hinduism is regarded as ‘objective media’.

Pertinently, the Supreme Court has not once, but three times refused to bring to justice the jihadi terrorists responsible for the genocide of Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley in 1989-90. It has consistently refused to appoint a SIT to book the perpetrators of the most horrific organised ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Hindus in the history of independent India. Justice DY Chandrachud was part of all three benches hearing the petitions made by the victim Kashmiri Pandits seeking justice from the Supreme Court which was dismissed with the reasoning that the cases are ‘27 years old and no fruitful purpose would emerge as evidence is unlikely to be available at this late juncture’.

Well, the same Supreme Court in 2018 right after dismissing the original petition of Kashmiri Pandits in 2017, asked the Centre to form a SIT to book the guilty in the 1984 Sikh riots, after a lapse of 34 years! The Supreme Court here grandly overlooked its own yardstick of ‘unlikely evidence to be available at this last juncture’ which it used in the Kashmiri Hindu victims case.

Recently too, the Supreme Court hastily stayed the eviction of encroachers on Railway land in Haldwani, due to dramatic organised religious protests by illegal Muslim occupants demanding the right to encroach government land. The same Supreme Court is not moved to take up the case of distraught Kashmiri Hindus protesting for the past seven months seeking safe postings in Kashmir or Jammu due to targeted killings in the Valley by Jihadi terrorists. The Jammu and Kashmir administration recently ordered to stop payment of salaries to the hapless Kashmiri Pandits if they do not rejoin service at the risky postings in remote areas of Kashmir where they have become sitting ducks for the jihadi terrorists openly declaring to kill all Hindus in the Valley. Of course, for the Supreme Court, the terrorized and impoverished Kashmiri Pandit families simply do not exist!

Well, clearly Hindu lives do not matter to the apex court of India headed by CJI, DY Chandrachud whose woke liberalism others the Hindu community as a ‘majority’ whose freedom of speech and even right to life is subject to the ‘minority’ leftist, jihadi and evangelist sensibilities.

By the way, the Supreme Court also seems to be least concerned about the brazen overawing of the judiciary by the TMC-affiliated Calcutta High Court Bar Association. TMC lawyers associated with the Bar threatened Justice Rajashekar Mantha, abstained from all proceedings in his court, and even shut him out of court no.13; all because he granted protection from arrest to BJP MLA Suvendhu Adhikari who defeated Mamata Banerjee in Nandigram. This is not the first time Judges of Calcutta High Court are being harassed by TMC goons for non-favourable judgements.

Conclusion

It will not be an exaggeration to conclude that Sudarshan News and its Editor in Chief Suresh Chavhanke are surely marked out to be cancelled and incarcerated just for daring to take on jihadist ideology and Islamist supremacy.

The lady of justice clearly seems to be not blind and suggests, ‘show me the man and I will show you the crime.’

“I’ve Razed Down 3 Temples In My Constituency”: DMK MP TR Baalu Proudly Claims

By
The Commune
-

DMK MP from Sriperumbudur Lok Sabha constituency proclaimed that he has razed down a hundred year old temple and three temples dedicated to Goddesses Lakshmi, Saraswati and Parvati in his constituency.

The Dravidar Kazhagam had organized a meeting on Friday (27 January 2023) at the temple city of Madurai in support of the Setu Samudram project which involves the razing down of Ramar Paalam (Ram Setu).

Speaking at the event, the DMK MP claimed “I’ve razed down a 100 year old temple, this very same TR Baalu. In my constituency, a Saraswati temple, Lakshmi temple and what is the other God’s name? Saraswati, Lakshmi and… ah, Parvathi temple! These 3 temples that was present in the GST Road was demolished by me.”

Adding further, the senior DMK leader said “I knew the vote will not come. But I also know how to get the votes. My comrades insisted me to not raze down the temple citing the votes will not come.”

He said that he had no choice but to demolish them but later managed to convince people that a better temple would be constructed.

Tamil Nadu Congress Committee (TNCC) President KS Alagiri, Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) head Thol. Thirumavalavan, Dravida Kazhagam President K. Veeramani, DMK Ministers Palanivel Thiagarajan and Moorthy were present on the stage as DMK MP TR Baalu made these claims.

Many on social media hit out at the DMK condemning the remarks of TR Baalu.

During his speech he also threatened to chop the hand of anyone who touches DK President Veeramani and DMK chief MK Stalin.

“I will not hesitate to chop off the hand of anyone touching my leader (Stalin) or ayya (Veeramani). This is my dharma. If you feel this is not right, then you can go to court and say so. But by then, I would have done the deed,” Baalu said with a smirk.

Farmers Grow Carrots & Beetroot In Coimbatore Through Isha Save Soil Movement

By
The Commune
-

“As part of our Save Soil movement we are conducting workshops on natural farming all over Tamil Nadu on a monthly basis,” said Swami Srimukha, the coordinator of the movement. “We also have model farms in Coimbatore, Erode, Thiruvannamalai and Thanjavur where – over a total area of 60 acres – we are using various natural farming techniques as an experiment.” 

Elaborating further on this experiment, Swami Srimukha said, “At our model farm in the village of Semmedu in Coimbatore district, we grew carrots and beetroot – which only grow in hilly regions – as the primary crop over an area of 30 cents each. After 120 days the carrots had grown bigger and longer than we expected. Generally, when we purchase a kilogram of carrots at the store, it weighs in about 12 to 13 carrots. However, in this experiment we found that 6-7 carrots weighed 1 kilogram; all this without any chemicals… using only Jeevamritam – a naturally prepared fertiliser mix. To prevent pests and improve plant growth, we used a Neem-seeds based mixture. The beetroot also has grown well.” 

Swami Srimukha revealed that vegetables such as radish, coriander etc have also been cultivated using similar techniques. “We used sour Buttermilk mixtures to combat the fungal growth caused by  heavy rains, thus creating a good environment for the growth of the plants. The crop has been good. We expect 1.5 tons to be harvested tomorrow,” he shared.

It may be noted that under this movement, for the last 4 years, traditional rice variety, black kavuni, has also been cultivated using completely natural methods. Last year, 2.25 tonnes were harvested from 1 acre of land – much higher than the amount harvested by the neighboring farm which uses chemicals.

“These methods that we experiment with, and find success in, are taught to farmers through on-field workshops,” said Swami Srimukha. “We have taught natural farming to 15,000 farmers so far. Many of them are successful and are examples for other farmers to emulate. We use the farms of such farmers to teach the new farmers these natural methods.”

More Cameras Than Audience, SFI Screening Of BBC Documentary Receives Poor Response In Madras University

By
The Commune
-

Student organisations affiliated with left-wing groups screened the banned BBC hit job documentary on Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Jawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi University, Ambedkar University, Jamia Millia Islamia, Presidency University, Jadavpur University, Madras University, Pondicherry, and University of Hyderabad.

The screening received a muted response across the country, with only a handful of students affiliated with politically extinct Communist parties were present during the screening. The Student Federation of India’s screening of BBC documentary in the Madras University campus is the most recent addition to the list of muted reactions to the screening.

On Friday (27 January 2023), a small group of students argued with University of Madras authorities after the latter refused to grant the former permission to screen the banned BBC documentary ‘India: The Modi Question’ on campus.

The Student Federation of India (SFI) Madras university wing had planned to screen the documentary but were told to leave by university officials.

“We live in a democratic country. Why aren’t we able to watch the documentary? “It’s only a movie,” one of the students can be heard arguing with a university official. Vice Chancellor S Gowri stated that no permission was granted by the university. As a result, students began watching the documentary on their laptop computers.

However, there were only six students watching on a single laptop, despite the fact that the news was covered by more than double the number of cameras. After this image of a group of SFI students went viral on social media, people on social media began mocking that it ended up as a flop show while pointing out at the state of  media in the state.

‘Tamils vs Vadakkans’: How Hate Is Being Peddled Against North Indian Migrant Labourers

By
The Commune
-

After a video of two groups of workers fighting in a textile factory went viral, Tiruppur Police clarified on Friday that it was actually a minor dispute between two individuals but had been portrayed by vested interests groups as a Tamils vs Migrants issue.

The New Indian Express has quoted Commissioner of Police as saying that the issue was started by a local Tamil blowing cigarette smoke in the face of migrant labour, which escalated into a fight between the two. Later, the local who had a dispute with the migrant worker gathered some of his friends and attempted to attack the migrant worker, who retaliated with the help of his fellow migrant workers.

The police said, “A migrant worker from the garment unit at Thilagar Nagar West in Velampalayam, stepped out for a break to a roadside shop on January 14. A resident reportedly argued with him and blew cigarette smoke at his face.”

The police further added, “This enraged the worker and the argument turned physical. The migrant worker retaliated and moved away from the spot. Later, the local along with a few friends entered the garment unit and attacked the worker. With the support of his colleagues, he retaliated. A police patrol arrived on the spot and pacified both parties.”

The police further stated that it was some vested interest groups which tried to portray the dispute between the two individuals as Tamil vs North Indian issue.

It is worth noting that in recent days, Tamil Nadu has seen a orchestrated racist campaign against North Indian workers. Idumbavanam Karthik, a Naam Tamilar cadre, has been spreading hatred against North Indians by uploading random videos from crowded places, such as markets or railway stations, and claiming that North Indians are flooding into Tamil Nadu in large numbers, which has no veracity.

https://twitter.com/idumbaikarthi/status/1616448297719468032?s=20&t=vrODjeY5TDzCq-RT8P1Gsg

Saattai Duraimurugan, another Naam Tamilar cadre and serial liar who was arrested and charged under the Goondas Act for spreading lies about Foxconn, has now posted a video on his YouTube channel in which he attempts to link all crimes in Tamil Nadu to North Indians. He claimed that North Indians bring drugs from their home state and sell them in Tamil Nadu in order to live a luxurious lifestyle.

While on one hand political outfits have been peddling hatred against north Indian migrant labourers, popular Youtube Channels and other social media handles have been stereotyping and spreading racist canards against people of other states.

Slurs like ‘Vadakkan’, ‘Paani Puri wala’ ‘Panparag vaayan’ have been normalised through social media. Recently a popular YouTube channel named Paridhabangal, led by Gopi and Sudhakar, released a video attempting to portray North Indians in a negative light through their jokes and videos.

It is also noteworthy to mention that even DMK ministers like K. Pondmudi have resorted to ridiculing north Indian migrant labourers.

DMK MP A Raja Praising Christianity In School Event Sparks Row

By
The Commune
-

According to DMK MP A Raja, Christianity was the first religion to advocate for education to be made available to ordinary people in this society.

DMK MP from Nilgiri, A Raja, who was the special guest at the 157th anniversary function of Kunnoor Anthoniyaar School, Nilgiri District, said: “When we talk about education in India, it becomes a popular topic in today’s political environment. Credits should be given to the British for making education available to even the ordinary people, when it had been denied for 3,000 years.”

He added “Schools founded by Christian organisations continue to teach about our history. Christianity was the first religion in the world to accept that common people in this society should have access to education. Students recited verses from the Bhagavad Gita, the Bible, and the Quran. Students who spoke before me stated that all religions are equal. However, saying this does not imply that I am opposed to any religion.”

He further said, “Ambedkar said that if a person’s education is against the country and society, he is worse than an animal. Education and knowledge are for the advancement of mankind. I adore people but have no faith in God. If God is loving and compassionate toward others, then there must be such a God.”

The comments of DMK MP A Raja have sparked debate, with many questioning why the DMK MP should praise a religion in front of school students of various faiths. Several people criticised DMK MP A Raja for bringing communal politics into a school environment, and they wondered how a Hindu and Muslim student would react when he praised Christianity.

Netizens also lambasted A Raja for giving credit to the British for growth of education in India, especially on the day after Republic Day, when Indians wrote their own constitution after gaining independence from the British.

It should also be noted that the myth that only Brahmins were educated and that others were denied education for 3000 years has been debunked several times using historical data.

Hindenburg Vs Adani: A Dispassionate Unclouded Analysis

By
The Commune
-

Disclaimer: I have no interest in any of Adani’s stocks and I do not hold them in personal capacity

US-based investment research firm Hindenburg Research, had recently published a report alleging stock manipulation and accounting fraud by Adani Group.

In its recent report on Adani conglomerate, Hindenburg Research said “We have uncovered evidence of brazen accounting fraud, stock manipulation and money laundering at Adani, taking place over the course of decades. Adani has pulled off this gargantuan feat with the help of enablers in government and a cottage industry of international companies that facilitate these activities,”.

The entire Hindenburg report comes to a 100 pages when saved as a pdf. On going through the report, one wonders why would this take two full years to publish unless the Hindenburg guys had multiple other projects to work on in parallel. A similar type of research on any conglomerate in the world would yield similar results. SEBI investigations and other charges against Adani is all known to the markets. So, there’s nothing unique in the Hindenburg’s findings to go gaga about. 

The phrase “stock manipulation” is used frequently and we do not know in which category this “manipulation” come under. There is very little reason to believe that this is some anti-India propaganda. People can spin whatever they want but this is purely driven by earnings money through the “short” trade no matter. As simple as that.

The allegation that Adani has been using offshore investment vehicles/funds to buy his companies and inflate his stock prices is nothing new in companies with hard physical assets. Rio Tinto, Shell, Samsung can be called out for the same. Not sure what is illegal with respect to Adani though!

Also, the timing of the release seems dubious, especially when Adani is looking to raise capital. The Hindenburg Research report came just two days before Adani Enterprises’ Follow-on Public Offer (FPO) of ₹20,000 crore, the biggest ever FPO in India, was scheduled to open for subscription on 27 January 2023.

Consider this – Company A run the largest port chain in India and makes enough cash to pay dividends. Company A legally takes the money outside the country and start a company in a tax haven and invest in a fund which in turn buys the shares of the port chain. If there is a law that prevents this, then the owner of Company A need to be behind the bars. If the money is somehow linked to owner of Company A and accusing him of holding 75%+ stake in the company, then yes he should pay for it. But, when neither of this is established, then there simply is no issue. “Anonymous” person’s scoop is all hogwash, anyone can say anything and say “anonymous” person. Moving assets between these shell companies is something that all conglomerates do. Violations are what we need to focus on: “related party transaction disclosure” being the most obvious one. But, if there are “unrelated” entities not sure how they might be related parties.

Issues regarding the auditors seems genuine in terms of capability but then there are no regulations that say that auditors who are in their 20s cannot sign off on financials or there isn’t any stipulation by the CA institute on these lines.

The true intentions of of Hindenburg can be found in its disclaimer. Hindenberg has a reputation for specializing in ‘short-selling’. Short-sellers are those investors who bet against a certain stock and borrow them from a party, ‘short’ them and later sell it at other exchanges to buy them back at a lower price to return to the lender, pocketing a profit in the process.

Lastly, India’s economy is not held back by broken capital markets. This is a low resolution argument.If Indian economy were held back by broken capital markets then neither FIIs would’ve come to India nor would you have a domestic mutual fund industry that has approxiimately ₹40 lakh crores of Assets Under Management.

The only thing that definitely makes some sense is the valuation argument. Yes, the stocks trade a high multiples. But, the onus is on the investor, they can buy or stay away. The promoter pledges are no big deal and won’t create any issue.

The trope that “Adani is silencing journos/analysts” is just an insurance policy for Hindenburg to escape in case no one buys these findings.

Perhaps, the general public is hearing all of this for the first time and is getting swayed by all the hullaballoo generated by media. The common investor, public, citizens aren’t scared of Adani.

For them, they just want to invest in a stock and make money. It could be Adani or Tata or Ambani. The only ones who have issues are a few “activist-journalists”, “activist-analysts” like Hindenburg and ofcourse Opposition politicians.

Appreciation Certificate Issued To Karur TASMAC Officials Withdrawn, Text Changed And Returned

The recognition of Tamil Nadu State Marketing Corporation (Tasmac) officials for revenue-generating activities in Karur during the Republic Day celebrations on Thursday sparked a row. However, following social media backlash, the DMK government rescinded the certificate.

Collector T. Prabhushankar presented appreciation certificates to P. Shanmugavel, District Manager, Tasmac, Sivakumar and Arumugam, supervisors, and Krishnamurthy, salesman, on Thursday.

The Tasmac employees were recognised for their exemplary work in generating revenue for the State-owned Tasmac, which operates Indian-Made Foreign Liquor (IMFL) outlets throughout the state, according to the certificates.

The appreciation certificates were widely shared on social media, primarily by those expressing their dissatisfaction with the State government setting targets for increasing revenue by selling liquor through Tasmac outlets.

Social activists and opposition parties claimed that it was inappropriate to honour TASMAC employees during the Republic Day celebration for increasing TASMAC sales. After receiving backlash, the DMK government withdrew the certificates of appreciation given to four TASMAC employees.

It has now been reported that the phrase “cretificate for generating more revenues for TASMAC” was replaced with “certificate of appreciation for excellent work in TASMAC administration” and the certificates have been returned to the four TASMAC employees.
