Historic Speech of Dr. Thirumavalavan in the Lok Sabha on Secularism, Languages of India And Demand to Set Up a Central Pali University.

Dr. Thirumavalavan on Pali and Classical Language in Lok Sabha

Today, Hon'ble Dr. Thol.Thirumavalavan (VCK, Chidambaram, Tamil Nadu) delivered the historic speech in the Lok Sabha. Thank you very much for your demand to set up a Central Pali University. Here, the translation from Tamil with sub headings.

Secularism, Language and Race:

Secularism is one of the fundamentals of the government. A government should not run on the basis of religion as well as language and race. That is the beauty of good government. Through the meaning of the word secularism, we also need to expand and understand language and race. So, Secularism refers not only on the basis of religion but also language. 

Languages of India:

We are recognized 22 languages as the official languages of India under the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India. However, over a thousand languages ​​are spoken in India. There are a lot of languages which have no script. Such a language is Sanskrit. It does not have a script. It is a historical fact. It has antiquity but you have to admit that there is no script. With the help of Devanagari, It has been using the script.

Classical Languages:

In such a case, the central government seeks to set up three universities for a language in a single day. Here I would like to ask, why universities have not established for already recognized Classical languages such as Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu and Kannada? All Indian languages ​​should be treated equally. The Government of India should cooperate for the development of all languages. Only after Tamil, Sanskrit had recognized as Classical language. The question is not about whether Sanskrit is superior or Tamil is superior. The question is whether the government respects all languages or not. The Central government should establish the Central Universities for all Classical languages.

Demand to set up a Central Pali University:

I want to demand another thing. The contemporary of Sanskrit i.e the ancient Prakrit languages such as Pali had been spoken widely. Buddha spoke in Pali language. Buddhism spread world wide through the Pali language. Like how Sanskrit spread the Hindutuva, Pali spread the Buddhism. As of today, approximately there are about 1 crore Buddhists in India. For the growth and development of Pali language as well as the long standing request of the Buddhists, I would request the central government to set up a Central Pali University. Thank you.

Dr. Ambedkar Didn't Say "If Hindus Migrate To Other Regions On Earth, Indian Caste Would Become A World Problem."

S. V. Ketkar on Hindus migrate / Dr. Ambedkar Misquote

"As long as caste in India does exist, Hindus will hardly intermarry or have any social intercourse with outsiders; and if Hindus migrate to other regions on earth, Indian caste would become a world problem."

The above lines are often attributed to Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Everyone knows that Babasaheb had a strong critique of Brahmanism / Hinduism. However, the above lines were not uttered by him. Many people wrongly quote the above mentioned words of Dr. Shridhar Ketkar as Babasaheb's words. Of course they may have taken these lines from Babasaheb's "Castes in India: Their Mechanism, Genesis and Development". Babasaheb had mentioned the original source that was taken from Dr. Shridhar Ketkar's "History of Caste in India, (Chapter 1, Page. 4)". Interestingly, Dr. Ketkar was a Chitpavan Brahmin from Maharashtra. He was a sociologist and historian.

Asuran Movie: Thousand Kaalas / Asurans Should Be Evolved.

Asuran Movie: Panchami Land

To me, 1000 Kaalas / Asurans should be evolved in upcoming Tamil films as well as in all language films in India to discuss the issues faced by the Scheduled Classes of India. Asuran movie is based on the novel 'Vekkai' written by Sahithya Academy Winning Tamil writer Poomani. However some defects in this film, we should appreciate for some subjects which boldly speak.

Asuran Movie Speaks About:

# Panchami Lands i.e., Land is our right. It was given by the British government to the Scheduled Classes after the note of the then Chengalpattu Collector James Tremenheere in 1891. Pandit Iyothee Thassar had played vital role in it. Later these lands were mostly snatched by the 4th grade Shudra Hindus in Madras Presidency (Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Parts of Kerala and Karnataka), although it cannot be sold to Non-Scheduled Classes.

# Making absurd on utopian 'Hereditary Rulers'. It is the noise often made by some 4th grade Shudra Hindu groups.

# Reminiscences of the Kilvenmani massacre in 1968 in Tamil Nadu. Brutally 44 Scheduled Classes were burning to death by the 4th grade Shudra Hindu Land Lords.

# Caste discrimination in Footwear: No Scheduled Classes can wear and walk with the slippers through the 4th grade Shudra Hindus Streets in Southern Tamil Nadu.

# An indispensable discussion should be needed to resolve the stagnant Caste system. Use education as a weapon for the social change in society.

Congratulations:

# Special Mention: Pa. Ranjith. [For created a new discussion genre trends]

Feeling Happy: Short History of Thatha Rettamalai Srinivasanar and Perunthalaivar M. C. Rajah in Tamil Nadu Text Book (New Syllabus 2019).

Thatha Rettamalai Srinivasanar and Perunthalaivar M. C. Rajah

Really it makes me happy albeit not enough. Lack of documentation is one of the hurdles in Scheduled Classes history. Since my late teens i.e., late 10s, I have been indulging in writing and documenting unknown pervasive aspects of the Scheduled Classes Movement of India. Now, it gives me more motivation for my works. A lot more needs to be done towards documenting. We should create own niche.

School text books are the basic for generalized aspects of many things to children. It includes the society of India. In my school days, I never ever read about the history of the Scheduled Classes Movement or its leaders through the text books. Thanks to my father. He used to tell me regularly some historical facts in those days. The Scheduled Classes Movement of Madras Presidency (Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and parts of Kerala and Karnataka) is nothing but the Dravidian Movement. The basic seed originated from here. But none of the Shudra development parties discourse it anywhere. They have been ruling since late 1960s. 

I always wonder why one of the greatest sons of this soil Perunthalaivar M. C. Rajah's name has been neglected in the pages of the history. In fact he has been neglected by his own fellows without known much about him. He was the pioneer of Mid-day meal scheme in India. Anyway, Times have changed now. Today, they have become inevitable in history. At present, We should give pressure to the Scheduled Classes MLAs and MPs to celebrate Perunthalaivar M. C. Rajah's birthday as a state function of Government of Tamil Nadu and construct a memorial for him. Also steps should be taken to bring out his writings and speeches in a compiled manner.

Short history has been published in 10th Standard Social Science Book, English Volume - II, History, Unit 10: Social Transformation in Tamil Nadu, Page 76-77 [ For Tamil Medium: Page 85-86]. In this moment I want to mention, last year some parts of my article about "Saviour of Labours Rights in India -- Revolutionary Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. Broad Your Knowledge" was published in 9th standard Social Science Book (Term - II, Volume 4). My thanks to SCERT and 'Tamil Nadu Textbook and Educational Services Corporation' (Department Of School Education).

Thanthai Sivaraj And Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium In Chennai.

Thanthai Sivaraj inaugurated the 'People Stadium' ( Today's Nehru Stadium) in Chennai.

As a Mayor of Madras (1945-1946), Thanthai Sivaraj was instrumental in bringing the 'People Stadium' in Madras. It was built and inaugurated in 1946. After the demolition of 'People Stadium', the new stadium was built in 1993. Later it was named after Mr. Jawaharlal Nehru in 1993 by Ms. Jayalalitha. The stadium earlier hosted cricket Test matches between 1956 and 1965. The highest opening partnership -- Pankaj Roy and Vinoo Mankad's 413 against New Zealand was recorded here in Chennai in 1956. It remained the world record till 2008.

Request to A Group of Western India. Please Come Out From Your Region / State in Terms of Thoughts.

Mukta Salve

Historical Blunders:

Note: It is not a personal attack. My only request to a group of Western India. Please come out from your region / state in terms of thoughts. At least try to give respect for someone whom born among you and worked for you, instead of chanting others. We are now because of the relentless struggle and sacrifice of hundreds of leaders and thousands of people. Over devotion may hide this. I have no hesitation in saying this.

//Mukta Salve's letter: This might be the earliest available piece of writing by a Dalit girl. Quite possibly she is the first girl, representing 20 crore people today, who (thanks to Savitri bai) got a chance to learn reading and writing less than 170 years ago. //

It is totally a historical blunder. That's why I always say, "Most of Western India brethren (Particularly the 3rd largest state of India in terms of area) are confined to region in thoughts." Paying homage and showing gratitude are different things from showing someone as our Saviour in hyper. I have no problem with Mukta Salve. But problem is with 'first dalit girl' and showing someone as the saviour of whole Scheduled Classes of India. Keeping and Chants anyone as saviour is your rights. But don't tag as whole. 

OLD CONVERSATION: Savarna Rehab and Ambeth.

// Savarna Rehab: 

Mukta Salve, who was a student of Savitribai Phule. Quite possibly she is the first girl, representing 20 crore people today, who (thanks to Savitribai) got a chance to learn reading and writing less than 170 years ago. This is how short the history of education for 20 crore people of India is. //

Ambeth: 

What do you know about Avvaiyar (Tamil Sangam age), Janabai (14th Century), Soyarabai (14th Century), Nirmala (14th Century), Sooli Cholakka? Who were they?

// This is how short the history of education for 20 crore people of India is.//

What do you know about Thiruvalluvar, Ilam Bodhiyar, Munipaanar and Sathoganathar etc? Who were they?

// Savarna Rehab: 

Is there any conclusive evidence that Avvaiyar and Thiruvalluvar belonged to oppressed caste? This is lamentable that such bahujan/dalit thinkers and wisdom is kept under the carpet and is even harder for people like us who are looking for it to find. Maybe we should claim that "quiet possibly first". Please do share more details.//

Ambeth: 

Before enumerate the answer for your question, I want to brief why I commented here. First of all what you said, ''Quite possibly she is the first girl, representing 20 crore people today, who got a chance to learn reading and writing" is not a simple mistake. It is a historical blunder. May be she wrote it in the mid's of 19th century. It doesn't mean she was the first ever dalit girl. There were many dalits whom they against the inequality and oppression through their writings even before her. That's why I mentioned Avvaiyar, Janabai, Soyarabai etc., Tell me, how they wrote their poems to against inequality? By whom they got the chance to learn reading and writing? Dalits had a glorious past too. There were many intellectuals among them in the past. Let me know, who are Bahujans? Whether my aforementioned personalities are comes under it or not? Who are Avarnas?

Now I come to the point where you asked about the evidence. I wonder on you for not asked any evidence for Janabai, Soyarabai and Nirmala. Regional disparity? It’s okay. Do you know Thiruvalluvar or Valluvan is listed under the Scheduled Classes of Tamil Nadu? Did you know why Sanghis were opposed to the installation of 'Valluvar' statue in Uttarakhand in 2016? Did you know a European Civil Servant 'Ellis' who collected the Tirukural palm leaves from Kandappan via another Civil Servant George Harrington? Kandappan was the grandfather of Pandit Iyothee Thass. ( Note : Pandit Iyothee Thass was the Pioneer to E. V. Ramasamy Periyar and Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. He founded the Sakya Indian Buddhist Society in Chennai). And I mentioned here about the first Avvaiyar (there were 3 Avvaiyar) who refuted the inequality through her poems. She was the contemporary of Thiruvalluvar.

Here the words of V.  I.  Muniswamy Pillay on Dr. Ambedkar in the Constituent Assembly of India (November, 1949):

".....The Scheduled Castes have produced a great Nandanar, a Tirupazanalwar, and above all a Thiruvalluvar, the great philospher whose name and fame is not only known throughout the length and breadth of India but of the whole world. To that galaxy of great men of Scheduled Castes now we have to add Dr. Ambedkar..."

Here the Scheduled Classes list in Tamil Nadu. (Attached the list of Tamil Nadu Govt)

Thanks for sharing those details, we would amend the post and do share these in another post.//

Both Perunthalaivar M. C. Rajah and Dr. Ambedkar Were Determined NOT To Be Part of The Hindu Fold.

M. C. Rajah and Ambedkar in 1942

Misconception: // M. C. Rajah was determined to be part of the Hindu fold. //

This is totally wrong one. Perunthalaivar M. C. Rajah​ was determined NOT to be part of the Hindu fold. In reality he was never a Hindu. In his early days he had considered himself to be part of the Hindu fold. But he changed in his opinion after the bitter experiences with Mr. Mohandas K. Gandhi and Congress in 1938. I know everyone is confined with Poona Pact whenever they hear Perunthalaivar M. C. Rajah. It is not their mistake. Certainly, they are not aware of anything beyond it. They must read him beyond Poona Pact. Remember that M. C. Rajah was not responsible for the Poona Pact. That's Poona Pact was the product of Mr. M. K. Gandhi's injustice drama against the then Depressed Classes.

Everyone has opinion in differences. But all times the opinions are not always consistent. It gets updated with corrections. It applies to both Perunthalaivar M. C. Rajah and Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. If you read them, they were updated in many things. Yes, In his earlier days, Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar firmly wished for remaining within the Hindu fold. But experience had taught him to next level. That's why Prof. M. C. Rajah and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar were made common cause in Cripps Mission in 1942. As the representatives of the Scheduled Classes of India they sought an assurance from Sir Stafford Cripps that the Scheduled Classes would be included in the racial and religious minorities on March 30, 1942.

Sir Stafford Cripps noted, "After telling me about the conditions of the Depressed Classes, particularly in Madras and Bombay, they [Prof. M. C. Rajah and Dr. B. R. Ambedkar] then went on to point out that under the system of election they would have a very small representation only in the constituent assembly, as most of their so-called representatives would be Congressmen, and that their position would therefore be very weak. They summed up the demands that they would make to the constituent assembly and then asked me whether we considered that they came within the racial and religious minorities, to which I answered yes, and what sort of provisions were likely to be made in the Treaty for their protection."

 Further in their joint statement to Sir Stafford Cripps they complained, "We are all of us absolutely convinced that the proposals are calculated to do the greatest harm to the Depressed Classes and are sure to place them under an unmitigated system of Hindu rule. Any such result which takes us back to the black days of the ancient past will never be tolerated by us, and we are all determined to resist any such catastrophe befalling our people with all the means at our command."

Cripps Mission, M. C. Rajah, Ambedkar

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar explained the followings in April 26, 1942:

"I thought for long that we could rid the Hindu society of its evils and get the depressed classes incorporated into it on terms of equality. That motive inspired the Mahad Chaudar Tank satyagraha and the Nasik temple entry satyagraha. With that object in mind we burned the Manu smriti and performed mass thread ceremonies. Experience has taught me better. I stand today absolutely convinced that for the depressed classes there can be no equality among the Hindus because on inequality rest the foundations of Hinduism. We no longer want to be part of the Hindu society."

Unfortunately Perunthalaivar M. C. Rajah was died in August 1943. Had not happened, it would have changed the course of the Scheduled Classes Movement. The great influence of Prof. M. C. Rajah and Dr. Ambedkar would have drifted the Scheduled Classes of India to be a minority as like as the Muslims brethren.

My Views On Dr. Thirumavalavan.

Dr. Thirumavalavan

I have always been thinking these two things about you Dr. Thirumaavalavan Anna. One, If you were born among the 4th Grade Shudras (OBC= BC + MBC) brethren then the entire Tamil Nadu Shudras would keep you on their heads. Such an unparalleled Intellect politician you are. Nothing to say, Tamil Nadu is the land of Shudras hegemony since 1960s. Second, If you were born in a North / East / Western India states then easily you might have attained the national stature. It is also not a new thing. It has been continuing since 1930s.

Jai bheem...!!!

Brief Note About Dr. Thirumaavalavan:

* Educational Qualifications: B.Sc.(Chemistry)., M.A.(Criminology)., B.L., Ph.D.,

* Member of Parliament (Chidambaram, 'House of the People' Constituency). [15th and 17th Parliament]

V. I. Muniswamy Pillai On The National Flag And Buddha In The Constituent Assembly of India.

Ambedkar and V. I. Muniswamy Pillai at Nagpur, 1932.

V. I. Muniswamy Pillai was one of the earliest national level leaders of the Scheduled Classes Movement in India.

Here is the excerpt from the speech of V. I. Muniswamy Pillai in the Constituent Assembly of India on 22nd July 1947 for the adoption of the National Flag.

V. I. Muniswamy Pillai (Madras: General):

"It is not to be the Flag of the rich or the wealthy but it is to be the

Flag of the depressed, oppressed and submerged classes all over our country. Sir, I particularly welcome the introduction of the wheel in the centre. I also welcome the introduction of the Sarnath Lion Capital of Asoka. Asoka, coming as he did after the great Buddhist order, has given us the great Panchaseelam, above all, sympathy for humanity.

The Scheduled Classes feel that the constitution which is on the anvil of this supreme body is going to bring solace to the millions of the submerged classes. The principle of Buddha who exhibited practically his great sympathy for suffering human beings, I am sure, Sir, will be practically carried out after accepting this great Flag."

Photo: This photo was taken with 'Samata Sainik Dal' members and the leaders of the 'All India DC Congress' (2nd Conference). Under the Presidentship of V. I. Munusamy Pillai (from Tamil Nadu) this conference was held on May 8th, 1932 at Nagpur. Thatha Rettamalai Srinivasan, Thanthai N. Sivaraj and Babu Mangu Ram were also attended.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s Father Name: 'Ramji Maloji Ambedkar'.

'Ambedkar' not a brahmin teacher name.

There have been a lot of rumors going around about Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar's name. It has been said that a Brahmin Teacher changed Babasaheb name in school records but there is no authentic proof of such thing. The name 'Ambedkar' was not given by a Brahmin Teacher. But it was the surname of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar’s father 'Ramji Maloji Ambedkar'. This information was mentioned in Indian Information under the caption ‘Personalities’ dated on March 1, 1943.

Briefly: Backward Classes (BC) = [ SC+ ST+ OBC (Other Backward Classes) ].

Backward Classes (BC) means SCs, STs and OBCs

According to the Constitution of India, the nomenclature 'Backward Classes (BC)' means SCs, STs and OBCs. Here 'OBC' means 'Other Backward Classes' i,e other than the SCs and STs. The Constitution has mentioned the terms like 'Backward class of citizens' in Article 16(4) and 'the weaker sections of the people' in Article 46.

Let we see what the aforementioned Articles says:
1. Article 16(4): 
Nothing in this article shall prevent the State from making any provision for the reservation of appointments or posts in favor of any backward class of citizens which, in the opinion of the State, is not adequately represented in the services under the State.

2. Article 46: 
Promotion of educational and economic interests of Scheduled Castes, Scheduled Tribes and other weaker sections. The State shall promote with special care the educational and economic interests of the weaker sections of the people, and, in particular, of the SC and the ST, and shall protect them from social injustice and all forms of exploitation.

Not all the Backward Classes (BC) i.e., SCs, STs and OBCs are listed under Hinduism:

* The SCs are listed under only three religions namely Buddhism, Sikhism and Forced Hinduism Label. This Forced Hinduism label status was done by Mr. Mohandas K. Gandhi in 1932. Now demand for inclusion of Christianity and Islam in the SCs list has been going on.

* The STs are listed under all religions in India i.e., Buddhism, Sikhism, Christianity, Islam, Jainism, Zoroastrianism and Hinduism.

* The OBCs are listed under all religions in India i.e., Buddhism, Sikhism, Christianity, Islam, Jainism, Zoroastrianism and Hinduism.

* For those half baked fellows always shouting against the "Reservation System in India".

Who Is More Benefited By The 69% Reservation (Representation) Policy In Tamil Nadu?

69% Reservation (Representation) Policy in Tamil Nadu

Obviously, Tamil Nadu's Fourth Grade Shudra Hindus [ OBC = Backward Castes (BC) + Most Backward Castes (MBC)] have been getting more Quotas based on their Population proportion. They have been getting 46.5% in 69% Reservation [i.e. BC (26.5% Quota) and MBC (20% Quota)]. This is the highest level of quotas being gotten by Tamil Nadu Shudras than any other state Shudras in India. Here I excluded 3.5% Representation to Muslims brethren.

Who are the 4th Grade SHUDRA HINDUS in Tamil Nadu? 
Brief Answer: OBC i.e. BC and MBC. Apart, some are in the General Category (except Brahmins).

Why are they getting 46.5% in 69% Reservation (Representation) in Tamil Nadu? 
Shudras are the LOWER CASTE section of Hindu religion, according to the Law of Manu. By socially and educationally they were deprived by the Varna system. So, they are categorized mostly under the OBC at National level. In Tamil Nadu they are categorized under BC and MBC. Apart, some Shudras are in the General Category too. They constitute 67.6% of the total population of Tamil Nadu. The peculiar nature of South India on comparative with North or West India is that there is no Kshatriya or Vaishya Varna concept here. However, they are lower to Brahmins. Periyar E. V. Ramasamy himself a Shudra [Naicker] who fought against the Brahmanism / Varna caste system and the authority of Brahmins enjoyed in higher social status. That's why historically Shudras have been getting the full-fledged Quota since 1928 in the Madras state (including Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and some parts of Karnataka and Kerala). This is because of the Social Justice movement of Pandit Iyothee Thass, Thatha Rettamalai Srinivasanar, Perunthalaivar M.C. Rajah, Periyar E.V. Ramasamy, leaders of Justice Party and others. After the independence, it was confirmed by Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar and Periyar E.V. Ramasamy. They have been getting their state government jobs or educational institutions for higher studies through the quota system, based on their Caste certificate. But they are mud-slinging on the Scheduled Classes. Whenever the Reservation (Representation) topic arises, Tamil Nadu's Shudra Hindus (BC and MBC) and Shudras in General Category would never forget to utter, "The SCs alone get the Quotas."

Thanks to 10% EWS Quota debates. Before this debate, all the 4th Grade Shudra Hindus in Tamil Nadu were thought themselves as merits and upper castes. Although Shudra Hindus [BC and MBC] are eating 46.5% Quota in Tamil Nadu level, their only targets are the Scheduled Classes (SC/ST). The value of 19% (i.e SC- 18% and ST- 1%) for the Scheduled Classes is being looked like 190% by their blurred eyes.

Both Dravidian SHUDRA Parties i,e DMK and AIADMK have been ruling Tamil Nadu for more than 50 years. Had they included about the historical facts of Reservation/ Representation system [Why SHUDRA brethren are getting 46.5% Quota? why SCHEDULED CLASSES are getting 19%?] in the STATE BOARD Syllabus, Tamil Nadu SHUDRAS [BC and MBC] would not have against it today.

It is a pitiable mockery one in Tamil Nadu. The brethren of BC and MBC are thinking themselves as 'Upper Castes' albeit they are the SHUDRAS to their Hindu religion. Whatever they [Some castes among BC and MBC] may decorate or beat themselves as Kshatriyas or with any titles, according to their Hindu religion they are only to be placed in a LOWER CASTE SHUDRAS. There is no Kshatriya or Vaishya Varna concept in South India. In Tamil Nadu, the Castes are categorized under BC [131 castes], MBC/DNC [109 castes] and excluding Brahmins in General Category are the LOWER CASTE SHUDRAS according to their Hindu religion. Although the Constitution of India never mentions them as such like, it is based on their strata to their Hindu religion. The Dravidian Shudra politics successfully achieved in fade away the term 'Shudras' on them. But for the Scheduled Classes? They successfully labelled the Scheduled Class as 'Thalthappattor'. What Onion pattor! This is one of the greatest achievements of Dravidian Shudra hegemony politics.

If my assumption is correct, within the next ten years Tamil Nadu's 69% Reservation Policy will be smashed by the decree of Supreme Court. Either will decrease the percentage or stringent in non-creamy layer policy, particularly for the Shudra Hindu's 46.5% Reservation.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, E.V. Periyar and OBC Reservation

Reservation for Tami Nadu Shudras must be abolished not only for the BC and MBC but also the Shudras under the EWS General Category. Then only they will come to know its values. That time these Shudras will be jumping.

Under the Government of Tamil Nadu, this 4th Grade Shudra Hindu (OBC= BC + MBC) brethren are dominated in the top echelon posts in state level. It has advanced to next version as Shudras (OBC) hegemony in state level now. Almost the Scheduled Classes have been neglected here. I think it is the right time to show their power to abolish 46.5% Reservation (Representation) System for BC [26.5% Quota] and MBC [20% Quota] and prove themselves as merit boys. Tell me, how long will you getting the Quota? Almost it is nearer to 100 years.

I urge all [Those who against 69% Representation Policy in Tamil Nadu] to kindly follow the below given,
1. First tear your BC and MBC caste certificates. By doing this type, you will create a Revolutionary steps to abolish your caste within 30 seconds.
2. Don't apply for the State Government jobs under BC [26.5% Quota] and MBC [20% Quota]. Apply only for 31% General Quota.
3. Don't get the Government Colleges [Arts, Science, Law, Engineering, Medical and others] under BC [26.5% Quota] and MBC [20% Quota]. Apply only for 31% General Quota.

Present Reservation (Representation) Policy in Tamil Nadu;
General Category– 31%,
OBC – 50% [BC= 26.5%, MBC=20%, Muslims- 3.5%],
SC – 18% and
ST – 1%.

Present Reservation (Representation) Policy in India;
General – 40.5%,
General [EWS exclude ST/SC/OBC] - 10%
OBC – 27%,
SC – 15%,
ST – 7.5%

Note:

Sourashtra (Patnulkarar) and Sathatha Sri Vaishnavas are the two Brahmin communities enjoying the BC (26.5% Quota) and MBC (20% Quota) reservation respectively in Tamil Nadu.
