Many comments showcase deep frustration with entrenched caste discrimination and a desire for systemic reform to prevent further violence. The general sentiment is marked by anger and despair over the persistent issues of casteism in India.

A 21 year old boy is killing for his caste pride and young people vandalising everything around them in the name of religion. This is the reason why statistics like "India has the world's youngest population we're going to be superpower because of that" are bullshit.

as_ninja6

Another hideous example of the evil that is casteism, and the monstrosity it engenders. 

Casteism must be eliminated and cast into the dustbin of history.

21 years. Fucking 21 year old man. We are doomed.

I think TN needs to get a grip , a lot of these events keep happening there - which you don't usually expect from a state like that

Seriously, when will this stop? Will it ever stop?? People involved in crimes like these should be given the Death penalty and made an example of imo

What's more honourable? Letting your daughter murder someone with a caste different from yours or to murder the man she loves?

So, what? Still, Tamil Nadu is a casteist shithole.

YYIMAHH

It's definitely not better than Rajasthan. Who told you that? Caste is one aspect where both these states and most others are perfectly at par.

Agitated_Cupcake5181

It is more like tribal wars here. People won't ask you about caste and discriminate irl in most cases (though discrimination based on looks(correlated with caste) is there). But there are inter caste fights especially in Far North &amp; South TN. 

People don't associate with Sanatana Dharma(aka North Indian Brahmanical Hindusim) because our form of hinduism is different from them and consequently it is the land owning castes who discriminate people here. 

Because most castes are deemed shudra, it is more of a 'my tribe is better than yours' kinda dic measuring competition instead of the varna based discrimination (apart from those done by land owning castes). But i have to acknowledge dalit oppression is still found here. 

The % of casteist people is less, but the intensity with which those c*nts discriminate is fking worse.

Tamil society is one of those silent, insular, prejudicial, conservative societies you'll find. But I see hope in the educated, knowledgeable youth who don't associate with the castes they were born into and try to question the status quo.

What's going on in TN is different from what is happening in the rest of India specifically who the elites in TN are and who wields more power(and it's not the Brahmins).

It's not the Brahmins that are powerful there, it's the other dominant OBC castes that dictate terms even with periyar's movement and all(periyar was against caste and religion, even had a self respect movement).

First let me go about the pros,

- The self respect movement had a tremendous effect on mobilizing the lower caste people's aspirations to achieve higher dreams and outcomes relatively much long ago(50s and 60s). The congress was slow, please note that for an average tamil, congress is rightwing and BJP is ultra rightwing extremist party.

- We even had movements where brahmin's kudumi(the pony tails) were cut off. I don't think any other state would dare do what we did.

- Brahmins are openly bashed in the movies and are ridiculed we have so many comedies from Kollywood that strongly but in a light hearted way show how Brahminism purports discrimination.

- Many including Brahmins understand why reservation is required not just because of economic disparity but also due to what discrimination over a long periods of time had done on the psych of discriminated community.

There are much more things that had happened which really helped most tamils see the issue in a rational light.

The cons - (disclaimer I am Brahmin but I have tried my best to see things in a rational way when talking about other castes and want to present the issue as is but my possible bias should be noted),

- The caste atrocities and murders you see today are done by powerful OBCs communities.

- Honor killings are also there either both the couple who were in love are murdered or just the boy from a different caste(note that this happens in almost all castes irrespective of the perpetrators being people in dalit or from other castes).

- Sadly I find that the void of brahminical discrimination has been filled with another numerically dominant caste dependign on the region(eg., vanniyar in vellore) with similar casteist self interests and its own vauntings which are structurally similar to how Brahmins used to flaunt their superiority, be it kummi attam or other caste based assertions that flaunt the pride of that community.

However dalit groups fight on the same footing and are also known to retaliate harder that anywhere else in India(note that we cannot group all the government said SC castes as Dalits as Vanniyar who are a warrior castes had forced the Dravidian regime to provide them with SC level reservation). Paryar and anrundhadiyar fight against other castes on equal footing and terms, which is a big win as far as self respect movement is concern. They atleast have it in them to give it back.

The role and the power of a Brahmin's discrimination is reduced to oral discussions in closely knit groups or whatsapp universities, albeit them being discriminatory in nature against  all Dravidian groups, castes do not feature as much in their discourses.

The self respect movement though had not stopped the discrimination had given hope to many dalit to stand against oppression. Anyone critiquing it lack these insights

The churches definitely urge Christians to vote for DMK. The DMK government is known for supporting the building of Christian churches.

*DON'T HAVE CASTE NAME AS A SUR NAME
Wrong. Certain names are attributed to certain castes. So one can guess the caste based on the first name. Plus, these days, people ARE putting surnames behind their names which denote to their caste. Not caste names, but names which act as identifiers of their caste. Trust me, the only difference between us and Bihar in terms of caste is that, over here, no caste has been allowed to have major political power. Each party has its own caste identity that keeps the rest in check, to an extent. Tamil Nadu isnt overflowing with caste, but it is drenched in it.

DON'T MIX RELIGION WITH POLITICS
- We do. Caste determines who gets elected, religion follows a close second.

CONTINUOUSLY VOTE TO THE PARTY WHO HATES SANTANA DHARMA
- Because we have been conditioned over decades that if we let guys from the North inisde, we would not have jobs, will impose Hindi etc. Also, people here believe that if we let the Northeners inside, they would treat us the same way we treat the lower castes.

*STILL GOES TO TEMPLE TO EVERYDAY
- Nope, I dont want someone to steal my sandals.

TN is a complex situation. One on hand it is extremely violently casteist but on the other hand,Dravidian politics did help control Brahminism. Spoke to a few Tamil Ambedkarites,who admitted that it is very casteist but Dravidianism did help them gain social mobility.

sanatan ≠ hinduism ?

observe ap and telengana if you want to see the influence of brahmanical society.
the difference between Andhra and telengana isn't about veg vs non-veg, telengana preserved most of its native culture and their native gods without any interference of Brahmin priest and they still following their old Dravidian cultures.

TN is ruled by the most corrupt party in Bharat's history.

The party that hates Bharathiya Dharma, buys votes for cash and freebies.

Casteist politics, almost every party is based on a caste, and they are in an alliance.

Caste name were removed in fear of not getting a Govt job, and to hide their Telugu and Kannada lineage.

Dravidam, not even an original Tamil word, is abused and has no meaning anymore, as other dravida states dont share the same ideology.

Parents nanacha vazhkai dan ponnunga vazhanum. This is the mentality of majority of parents. Honor killing keeps happening and will continue to happen until capital punishment is given to those who do it. Enaku therinju if we know that there is a chance that something might happen like this , i.e, that we might be attacked, better to try to avoid / break the relationship. Think about the guys family. They will never get over this. The girl will be terrorised for life but will marry someone else. No relationship is worth risking your life.

I am from Tirunelveli, caste is imbibed in people’s brain there. That is why pariyerum Perumal was made.

Isn't caste abolished after demonising the usage of last name.

Solving wrong problem is no better than no solution.

திருட்டாவிடம்‌‌ protects aggressors. Bring back the 2nd name. Let society know which caste is the aggressor caste, which is a truly oppressed class. The Aggressor needs to be in the FC++ category with 0 reservation and 30% inheritance tax.

What is caste of kevin?. His parents bought into fake Renaissance. Now, not even his caste knows that he belongs to the tribe. Making the oppressed voiceless is the true objective of abolishing 2nd name.

Dalits are butchered by திருட்டாவிடம்.

Guy was a university gold medallist who was earning 2 lakhs per month. A great future ahead, wouldve uplifted his entire family for generations.


All destroyed because some asshole in girls family couldn't tolerate it. 


My father used to say back in the day these districts would regularly have some murder every month or two. It's one of the most brutal places in TN. Until last week, I was thinking with all the industrialization that the place is seeing, hopefully the communal tensions will tone down and go away.


How wrong was I 😪

It could’ve easily been another custodial death. But since Tamil Nadu is under high alert on that front right now, they chose a different route. And let’s not forget — the police couple aren’t even suspended yet. We all know how this story ends

YardDry3649

Middle ground opinion: Caste isn't bad. Castelessness isn't bad. Just normalise everything. Let the individual choose their path after strong consideration.

Caste provides a layer of social security right now but killing for that is unneeded. Just improve yourself and the country economically by creating abundant value - all these caste and caste differences will vanish.

People have stopped mentioning castes in certificates and stopped using surnames , so how are people still able to identify if someone is from lower or even much lower castes? (As there are no upper castes other than Brahmins)
