as i do more research, i find that the population of dalit in india is very close to the entire american population: 250 million.

these folks seem to be the authority on everything dalits, and how to help better their life.

You mean overra- ah, never mind.

Prema, I’m The Tamil Brahmin. That other Tamil Brahmin is that other Tamil Brahmin.

Rahul the callous comedian

Can I use this name when Salil and I take our act on the road? I am also flattered that you’ve been an ardent follower of my work so far.

a highly disproportionate number of the most tenacious defenders of casteism and elitism here, who also have the obscene habit of putting down african and hispanic americans, tend to be tamil brahmins.

It is all thanks to the benefits of reservation in Bigotry University. Tambrams, overreprezent!

I don’t think he’s objecting to it. Tambram is using the classical technique of “vancha pugazchi”. It is the technique of “Sangam poets” to disguise “venom” as praise. They sing such songs on the kings who they don’t like and there is a legend that some famous poet killed a king just by his song.

He is just ridiculing the “Tamil society / culture” by disguising as a “defender”. As I said before, “caste” of the different roles of the actors are not explicitly mentioned and if they are explicitly mentioned it is mostly for praising it. No one knows what criteria Tambram uses to figure out who belongs to “high caste” and who belongs to “low caste”. I’ve watched the same movies and cannot figure out the “caste” of such roles.

Exactly. She aspired to be a nurse or a doctor, and would have likely made a very good one too. The upper caste teachers and students humiliated and harassed her into quitting school. There are millions of such stories. Its a net loss for India, this squandering of precious human resources due to insane caste prejudices and selfishness.

I will give it to you in writing. Caste based violence, discrimination, rape, all of these are very much real in TN. Tamil cinema also does a very graphic and accurate job of depicting these realities.

So what the hell have you been arguing about? That rapist landlord obviously thought his raping was a gleeful not a shameful matter since thats how they depict it in your beloved tamil movies. Yet you have been tirelessly insisting that he was merely boasting of rapes not that he and his caste men had actually committed them. Now you admit “in writing” that such casteist rapes are indeed rampant. Isnt that the point of that video? So why are you objecting to it?

Those who find “humor” in things like rape must have something seriously twisted in their characters. We see this sickness right here in this thread. That other Tamil Brahmin, Rahul the callous comedian, makes “clever” jokes about rape, untouchability, child slave labor etc and has attracted a number of admirers even. You will also notice that a highly disproportionate number of the most tenacious defenders of casteism and elitism here, who also have the obscene habit of putting down african and hispanic americans, tend to be tamil brahmins.

macho: strong enough to feed and protect himself and own family in any cirucmstance. In folk tales, the good macho = man of honor. false macho: puts down women or brualizes them because he is not respcted by the machos (in an attempt to get respect from the brutalized). mandilon: henpecked/whipped

By saying not having the balls to “actually rape or grope” where does that put your perspective? Is rape glorified?

damn you! i said insignificant films. titanic is a modern masterpiece!

the clip was interesting. but why does billy zane’s character sound like he’s from saidapet? and perpetually drunk? they should seriously make this into a half hour show – quite entertaining.
