Vijay's public engagements and political statements come at a time when the rivalry between TVK and AIADMK is becoming increasingly visible.AIADMK General Secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS) has stepped up his criticism of TVK and Vijay, questioning the ruling party's approach to governance and its political claims. TVK, meanwhile, continues to position itself as an alternative to the established political parties. With the Madurantakam and Dharapuram by-elections also intensifying the political battle, the exchanges between TVK and AIADMK have taken on added significance.What did Vijay say in Madurai? Why is EPS targeting TVK? What does the growing confrontation between the two parties reveal about the changing political equations in Tamil Nadu?

Śluby w Indiach są zazwyczaj aranżowane, a wybór małżonka leży w rękach rodziców. Para, z którą się spotkaliśmy, z aranżowanym małżeństwem nie miała jednak nic wspólnego. Kamila Bodo i Dinesh Sampath wzięli ślub w Tamil Nadu, gdzie można znaleźć prawdziwe Indie. Starożytna kultura Tamil Nadu jest jedną z najwspanialszych, jakie istniały w historii naszej cywilizacji sprzed ponad 2 tysięcy lat, a język tamilski należy do najstarszych na świecie. Goście Jerzego Jopa opowiedzieli o swoich egzotycznych zaślubinach, a także najciekawszych miejscach i legendach Tamil Nadu.

A fresh controversy has emerged around TVK candidate Sathyabama in the Dharapuram by-election, with the DMK targeting her with allegations involving money and her move to TVK. DMK campaigners have even carried a suitcase during their campaign, using the term “Petti Bama” to attack the TVK candidate. Sathyabama has denied the allegation, saying false information is being spread that she resigned after receiving money. The controversy comes amid a wider political debate over money and defections in Tamil Nadu politics. Earlier, TVK had itself alleged that attempts were made to persuade its MLAs to switch sides with offers reportedly ranging from ₹10 crore to ₹50 crore—claims that triggered a political and police controversy. So, what is the ₹50-crore controversy surrounding the TVK candidate? Why has the DMK turned the suitcase into a campaign symbol? What does Sathyabama say in response, and what does the controversy reveal about the political battle in Dharapuram? In this episode of Political Lab, we examine the allegations, the responses from both sides and the campaign strategy unfolding around the Dharapuram by-election.

This week we debate the recent pay raise for Singapore's political leaders. Why does the country pay its leaders this much in the first place? Part of it is attracting people who could earn far more elsewhere, part of it is keeping the system clean.But here's the thing. As NSFs we were paid a fraction of that and told it was our duty to serve the nation. So why doesn't that same argument apply both ways? We also explain why that gap may actually be necessary.We also talk about how our own interest in politics started, comparing what we saw growing up in Tamil Nadu and Malaysia, before bringing it back home to Singapore.What's your take? Let us know in the comments

The PMK's decision not to contest the Madurantakam and Dharapuram by-elections has triggered fresh political discussion. PMK president Anbumani Ramadoss said the party would announce its stand on whom it will support later.At the same time, AIADMK general secretary Edappadi K. Palaniswami (EPS) has been sharpening his political position against the TVK government and has also spoken about bringing other parties together against TVK. So, what could the PMK decision mean for the emerging political equations? Is there a larger strategy involving EPS and the AIADMK? What does Valarmathi have to say about the developments? In this episode of IPS, we examine the PMK's decision, EPS's political strategy and the changing alliance equations in Tamil Nadu.

In this week's podcast we'll be hearing a lot about exams - the bane of many doctor's training lives, exams that determine your future are scattered through medicine and can cause a huge amount of anxiety and stress…   John McLachlan, professor of medical education at the University of Lancashire, has carried out four reviews of medical exams. He explains what happens to the people who have been marked wrongly, why he thinks re-sits should be done differently, and why multiple choice questions are still in use.   Over the Summer there have been extensive protests from the young people of India, the “Cockroach Janta Party” has led demonstrations across the country, sparked by allegations of cheating in India's “NEET” exams - the federal tests taken by applicants to India's medical training.   Rohan Krishnan, orthopaedic surgeon in Delhi, and chief of the Federation of All India Medical Association, and Kathir Karuppiah, a house surgeon in Tamil Nadu, join us to explain where India's medical admissions tests are failing students.   We'll also hear about new research into Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy in NFL players.  Daniel Daneshvar is associate professor at Harvard Medical School, and he and his co-authors have examined the brains of 338 former players, with the goal of determining how many of them died with CTE neurodegeneration. He joins us to explain his findings, and what it means for competitive sports players and others who play contact sports.   Reading list:   “Cockroach” victory: India's education minister resigns over medical exam scandal linked to 12 suicides   Prevalence of chronic traumatic encephalopathy at death in National Football League players: retrospective population based cohort study, 2008-21

22 lakh students wrote NEET this year. There were about 1.35 lakh seats. That gap is where the protests came from — but Mohandas Pai's argument is that NEET was only the trigger. The real story is a generation that did everything it was told to do, and found nothing waiting on the other side. In this conversation, the former Infosys CFO lays out why the anger erupted in the Hindi belt and not the South, why a student clearing 80% watches a 45% score take the seat, what medical education actually costs once you strip out the policy distortions, and why he believes reservation must continue — but cannot keep serving the same families for three generations. Then he turns to the fix. A jobs incentive across the 400 poorest districts. Five thousand census towns built out so industry has somewhere to go. Why he thinks "India lives in her villages" is one of the most expensive ideas in Indian politics. Why AI will create more jobs here than anywhere else on earth. And a blunt account of what he thinks the political class, the bureaucracy and the courts are getting wrong. Sharp, specific, and backed by numbers throughout.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, Infra.Market takes an unusual route to the public markets by merging with listed Shalimar Paints, while SBI Mutual Fund raises its stake in Urban Company. Meanwhile, Mirae Asset and Bluehill.VC add fresh capital to India's startup ecosystem, with AI, deeptech and advanced manufacturing in focus. Tamil Nadu announces over Rs 1 lakh crore in investment commitments, while Mamaearth parent Honasa Consumer reports a 119% jump in Q1 profit.

Days after India's youth-led protests forced the resignation of India's Union Minister of Education, Members of Parliament found themselves speaking in the language of the protestors. For instance, Shiv Sena's Shrikant Shinde accused the opposition of being “MIA” - missing in action - and feeling the “FOMO”, or the fear of missing out, before eventually becoming “delulu”. However, the Gen Z were in the limelight far before the protests caught steam. Tamil Nadu's freshly elected Chief Minister, C. Joseph Vijay of the Tamizhaga Vettri Kazhagam (TVK), owes his victory, in part, to the Gen Z voters of the State. The debutante party involved its young following in electoral politics, one viral Instagram reel at a time. In response to this, the then-incumbent Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK), a decades-old party with deep footing in the State, posted reels and co-opted Gen Z slang as well, to no avail. Are traditional parties unable to understand the grammar of Gen Z politics? Here we discuss the question.

This episode featured a conversation with Ramnarayan Rawat, K. Satyanarayana, and Sanal Mohan, three scholars in the burgeoning field of Dalit Studies. We began with the significance of the 1990s as a point of departure for new work in this field and segued to the interventions made by their two edited volumes published in 2016 and 2025. We discussed the paths opened up by earlier radical historiographical paradigms, such as Subaltern Studies, which nonetheless failed to address the caste question. The guests noted three key emphases of contemporary Dalit Studies: one, centering Dalit historical agency and intellectual production; two, decentering the binary of colonialism and nationalism, and illuminating the colonial period as a complex terrain of maneuver; and three, foregrounding the importance of “the Dalit social” as a field of variegated power irreducible to the state. We ended with a discussion of the heterogeneity of Dalit sociopolitical formations, what makes “Dalit” cohere as a category, and future directions for the field of Dalit Studies.

In this episode, we perceive how a pointed message is relayed in a hidden manner, as depicted in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 302, penned by Madurai Aruvai Vaanikan Ilavettanaar. The verse is situated amidst the blooming Kino flowers of the ‘Kurinji’ or ‘Mountain Landscape’ and sketches scenes of serenity. சிலம்பில் போகிய செம் முக வாழைஅலங்கல் அம் தோடு, அசைவளி உறுதொறும்,பள்ளி யானைப் பரூஉப் புறம் தைவரும்நல் வரை நாடனொடு அருவி ஆடியும்,பல் இதழ் நீலம் படு சுனைக் குற்றும்,நறு வீ வேங்கை இன வண்டு ஆர்க்கும்வெறி கமழ் சோலை நயந்து விளையாடலும்அரிய போலும் காதல் அம் தோழி!இருங் கல் அடுக்கத்து என்னையர் உழுதகரும்பு எனக் கவினிய பெருங் குரல் ஏனல்,கிளி பட விளைந்தமை அறிந்தும், ”செல்க” என,நம் அவண் விடுநள் போலாள், கைம்மிகச்சில் சுணங்கு அணிந்த, செறிந்து வீங்கு, இள முலை,மெல் இயல் ஒலிவரும் கதுப்பொடு,பல் கால் நோக்கும் அறன் இல் யாயே. In this little trip to the highlands, we delight in picturesque images and learn about the situation at hand, as we listen to the confidante say these words to the lady, pretending not to notice the man listening nearby, but making sure he’s in earshot: “The beautiful, swaying leaves of the red plantain that soars on slopes, nudged by the breeze, gently caresses the thick back of a sleeping elephant in the fine mountain ranges of the lord. It seems like bathing in the cascades, plucking many-petaled blue lilies from picturesque springs, and playing with desire in those thickly scented groves, where swarms of bees buzz around fragrant flowers of the Kino tree, in the company of the man, are all no longer possible for you, my loveable friend! Even though she knows that parrots are raiding the fields, where thick-stalked millet crops, sown by our brothers in the huge mountain spaces, have bloomed prosperously, akin to stalks of sugarcane, she doesn't say to us, ‘Go there'’. Instead, that unjust mother of ours looks pointedly at your close-set, blooming young bosoms, adorned with exquisite pallor spots, and the gently swaying, thick, dark tresses of yours, over and over again!” Time for the trek through those ancient mountains that never fails to amaze! The confidante starts with a description of the man’s mountain country, and to do that, she freezes an image of a sleeping elephant, whose back is gently caressed by the long leaves of the red plantain, every time a mountain breeze swirls around. What a delight for the senses to see and sense this image! A moment of appreciate this renowned delicacy, the red plantain, from various regions of Western Ghats called by the contemporary Tamil name ‘Sevvaazhai’, with sub-varieties growing in ‘Palakkad’ and ‘Thiruchur’ regions of Kerala, as well as the ‘Palani Hills’ and ‘Kumbum valley’ in Tamil Nadu. It’s a nutritional powerhouse having high Vitamin ‘A’ and ‘C’, a rich source of fibre and potassium, and inspite of its exquisite sweetness, having a lower glycemic index than other bananas! Returning from our sweet fruit meanderings, we find the confidante now talking about all the activities the lady had been relishing with the man, such as bathing together in the bubbling cascades, plucking blue-lilies from the springs, and relaxing in the groves, filled with Kino trees and swarming bees around those fragrant flowers. These young lovers from these lush mountains seem to have realised that the foundation of a long and lasting relationship is spending time with one other! Returning, we find the confidante saying that all these activities are no longer possible. She explains the reason for this shocker by describing Mother’s attitude. Mother can clearly see the millet crops are fully grown, like thick sugarcanes that too, and are tempting the passing parrots, and yet she takes no steps to ask the lady and the confidante to go there and chase away those birds. The confidante concludes by declaring all that unjust mother seemed to do was to look at the lady’s blooming bosoms and thick tresses, with something on her mind!  In essence, we have the lady’s buddy informing the man that these trysts he had been taking for granted are no longer going to be feasible, pointing out how it’s the time for harvest and underscoring mother’s suspicions. It’s a way of telling the man to give up his temporary trysting and come seek the lady’s hand in marriage. The beauty of this communication is that instead of throwing a spear of words straight into the man’s heart, in the gentle manner of those caressing leaves upon the sleeping elephant’s back, the confidante relates to the man, the consequences of the winds of change blowing through the lady’s life just then!

In this episode, Monika explains why many long-duration debt funds, especially gilt funds, disappointed investors despite the RBI cutting interest rates. She unpacks the relationship between repo rates, bond yields and bond prices, and explains why global bond markets, inflation expectations, oil prices and changing RBI guidance prevented long-term bond funds from delivering the gains many investors were expecting. Her key message is that debt funds are not all the same, and that most investors are better served by safer, shorter-duration debt funds rather than trying to predict interest-rate cycles.She uses the recent performance of debt funds to reinforce a broader investing lesson: tactical bets on interest rates are difficult to get right because long-term bond yields are influenced by far more than RBI policy. While short-duration and accrual-oriented debt funds continued to provide stable returns, long-duration funds became a reminder that debt should primarily provide stability within a portfolio, leaving growth and risk-taking to equities.In listener questions, Sashikant from Hyderabad asks whether the newly launched Life Cycle Funds are a better way to save for his son's education, prompting Monika to explain how these funds work, their current limitations and why she would wait for the category to mature before investing. Nidhi shares an alternative retirement income strategy built around fixed deposits, rental income and mutual funds, leading to a discussion on preserving capital, taxation and retirement planning. Finally, Singaravelu Muthu from Tamil Nadu asks how a beginner should start investing, giving Monika an opportunity to emphasise that financial planning begins with managing cash flows, building an emergency fund and putting insurance in place before choosing mutual funds.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) Why Long-Duration Debt Funds Disappointed Despite RBI Rate Cuts(00:00 – 00:00) What Really Drives Bond Yields and Debt Fund Returns?(00:00 – 00:00) Are Life Cycle Funds the Future of Goal-Based Investing?(00:00 – 00:00) Can Fixed Deposits Replace the Three-Pool Retirement Strategy?(00:00 – 00:00) How Should a Beginner Start Investing in Mutual Funds?If you have financial questions that you'd like answers for, please email us at ⁠mailme@monikahalan.com⁠ Monika's book on basic money management⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-money-english/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's book on mutual funds⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-mutual-funds/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monika's workbook on recording your financial life⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.monikahalan.com/lets-talk-legacy/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Calculators⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://investor.sebi.gov.in/calculators/index.html⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can find Monika on her social media @monikahalan. Twitter ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MonikaHalan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Production House: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.inoutcreatives.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Production Assistant:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Anshika Gogoi⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

In the rich political landscape of Tamil Nadu, few movements have had as profound and enduring an impact as the Dravidian movement. Vignesh Rajahmani's The Dravidian Pathway (Hurst Publishers, 2025) offers a compelling and detailed account of how the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) transformed a powerful socio-cultural and anti-caste movement into a highly successful electoral political force. Focusing on the pivotal decades of the mid-20th century, Rajahmani traces the strategic leadership of key figures including Periyar E.V. Ramasamy, C.N. Annadurai, M. Karunanidhi, and others. The book explores how the DMK skilfully synthesised anti-caste ideology, demands for linguistic pride and Tamil identity, socioeconomic reforms, and educational mobility. This synthesis not only resonated deeply with marginalised communities but also enabled the party to translate ideological commitments into concrete welfare policies and political power. The Dravidian Pathway is particularly valuable for its nuanced examination of the transition from movement to party, shedding light on the organisational innovations — such as the spread of reading rooms (padippakams) — that helped build a robust Dravidian public sphere in the 1950s and 1960s. Rajahmani's work provides fresh insights into one of modern India's most distinctive and influential regional political traditions. This timely study is essential reading for anyone interested in South Indian politics, federalism, identity politics, and the enduring legacy of social justice movements in India.

This episode features a conversation with Carnatic vocalist, T.M. Krishna, who is also the author of two books on this musical tradition. We began with his first book's account of the modernization of Carnatic music through a set of social, technical, and spatial processes that transformed it from a more socially diverse practice into a predominantly Brahmin performative genre. We moved on to discuss a figure who is at the heart of his second book: the maker of the Carnatic percussion instrument, the mrdangam. This took us into an extended discussion of the changing relationship between mrdangam makers, who are predominantly Dalit, and mrdangam players, who are predominantly Brahmin, and what the complex mix of inequality, stigma, artistry, and pride suggests about the specificity of this inter-caste relationship. The episode ended with Krishna fleshing out his distinction between classical music and art music and the reasons why he rejects the former in favor of the latter. Read the transcript Guest T.M. Krishna is a vocalist in the Carnatic tradition and the author of two books and numerous articles. References T.M. Krishna, A Southern Music: The Karnatik Story (Harper Collins, 2016). T.M.
