So Poovulagin Nanbargal going after Girija Vaidyanathan, citing technicalities opposing her selection to NGT, filed a case against the appointment.

All these NGOs are just Dravidian ideologues in different disguise with deep rooted hate for Brahmins.

Recall the abuses, derision and vulgar remarks she had to face as soon as she was appointed secretary to CMO. DMK's long buried pet project of Brahmin annihilation is being brought to the fore through various non electoral bodies like May 17, DK, NGOs, etc.

DMK can't do the Brahmin bashing as it may lead to disqualification as a registered party with ECI. So create various arms like YouTube channel, portals, intelligentsia, environmental groups, etc. What Cong does at National level DMK does the same at TN level.

Recent attacks by Savukku Shankar on anything Brahmin, U2Brutus's degrading videos against Brahmins, Senthil's Tamil Kelvi attack on seemingly pro BJP journalists, May 17 disinformation campaign all are nothing but demigod manifestation of Dravida Kazhagam. Reinventing themselves

Reinventing themselves according to the times while the Hindu RW wallows in getting goosebumps by talking of hoary past, squabbling over the primacy of which section of Hinduism, countering the Dravidian intellectual attack with emotional rants and miscalculated statements.

RW need to reform itself. Learn a bit or two from American conservative ( not their drawbacks but good ones), liberalise in incremental steps, promote intellectual discourse, scientific research, modernise..do something. Just saying whatever comes to mind.

Vel yatra kind of optics are good for electoral gains. But establishing an intellectual ecosystem in TN context is important. Promote literature, arts, science that are not necessarily a subset of Dravidian socio-political framework. Nudge people away from the sectarian ideology.

Having strong opinions about hinduism or one's chosen school of thought is not wrong but we have to learn to be flexible, sceptical and analytical. Brahmins particularly need to come on to public intellectual discourse instead of merely reacting case by case.

Winning the trust of non Brahmins should be the primary focus in TN and not just preserving and protecting the traditions. Don't know how but some social engineering at cultural level is needed not just political.

BJP can do only so much to galvanise the Hindu political consolidation but cultural consolidation has to happen at a different platform. Without a cultural unification political power can only go for short run. Left and Dravidian folks have realised this hence the attack on..

...attack on anything Hindu identity. Targeting the fault lines among Hindus, widen the chasms, posit each group against each other. We see the mushrooming of social media platforms that takes forward this narrative. RW and BJP need to invest more on this front to win...

...to win this narrative war. Though it's happening there's a need for urgency given the worldwide phenomenon of attacking the conservative voices, establishments, politicians by various groups. Religious, linguistic sectarianism, cultural left, Marxist hegemons, globalists..

All have come together for now despite their inherent animosity towards each other ideologically. Perhaps these differences need to be exploited by conservatives all around the world. Just the way the other side exploit the fault lines among the Right.

Finally a rejoinder, though it's unpopular, Indian RW (both the economic and cultural RW) should coopt Catholics, Shia Muslims (not to mention Parsis, Jain's and original Buddhist-not Ambedkarite Buddhists).

Indian Right should produce a Thomas Stowell.

*Thomas Sowell. Not Stowell.
