Police Matters: The Everyday State and Caste Politics in South India, 1900–1975 (Cornell UP, 2021) moves beyond the city to examine the intertwined nature of police and caste in the Tamil countryside. Radha Kumar argues that the colonial police deployed rigid notions of caste in their everyday tasks, refashioning rural identities in a process that has cast long postcolonial shadows. Kumar draws on previously unexplored police archives to enter the dusty streets and market squares where local constables walked, following their gaze and observing their actions towards potential subversives. Station records present a textured view of ordinary interactions between police and society, showing that state coercion was not only exceptional and spectacular; it was also subtle and continuous, woven into everyday life. The colonial police categorized Indian subjects based on caste to ensure the security of agriculture and trade, and thus the smooth running of the economy. Among policemen and among the objects of their coercive gaze, caste became a particularly salient form of identity in the politics of public spaces. Police Matters demonstrates that, without doubt, modern caste politics have both been shaped by, and shaped, state policing.  Radha Kumar is Assistant Professor of History at the Maxwell School in Syracuse University. Dr. Kumar holds a PhD in History from Princeton University, where she specialized in Modern South Asian Studies. She has conducted archival research in a range of cities including Madurai, Tirunelveli, Bangalore, Chennai, Delhi, and London, and was supported by the History Department at Princeton University and by the Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies.

Phase 2 polling percentage is slightly less than in 2019, with some states such as Chattisgarh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh showing higher numbers...  Ram Nagar in Coimbatore, where many Middle Class people live, several could not vote. One Goundampalayam booth in Coimbatore constituency had 800 names missing. An Agraharam in Tirunelveli with 250 families found that all of them could not vote! Was this a systematic effort on part of Dravida parties to ensure Annamalai's (and Nainar Nagendran's) defeat? #LokSabhaElection2024 #Election2024 #Modi #BJP #RahulGandhi #Congress #NDA #IndiAllianc

The answer to India's renewable energy targets lies in the wind, literally. And India knew it way back in the 1980s, when it had started investing in wind power development. And this form of renewable energy enjoyed an edge over solar over the years. For instance, in 2014, wind power's installed capacity was about 21 GW, while solar's installed capacity was just 2.6 megawatts. Wind power currently contributes 10.2% of total installed capacity and makes up for 37% of renewable energy mix.   Tulsi Tanti's contribution   Businessman Tulsi Tanti, who passed away recently, contributed in a big way to India's wind energy space. His company, Suzlon Energy, currently has over 100-plus wind farms and an installed capacity over 13 GW in the country. India's total installed wind capacity stands at 41.2 GW. Suzlon developed some of Asia's largest onshore operational wind farms in states like Gujarat, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu. To give a leg-up to the industry, the government also gave financial incentives such as Accelerated Depreciation benefits. A portion of the project cost was repaid by the Centre. It also gave generation-based incentive, where wind power producers would get an incentive of 50 paise on each unit of power generated. Then there were also subsidies and customs duty exemptions on certain wind electric generators. While other incentives include waiver of inter-state transmission charges for wind projects commissioned before 2025 to facilitate inter-state sale of wind power.    Why Wind is good for India? India has an ambitious goal to meet 50% of its electrification requirements through non-fossil fuels by 2030 with installed renewable capacity of 450 GW. Wind constitutes 31% or 140 GW of this target, and hence a crucial link for India's sustainable goals. Problems faced by wind energy sector But, over the years, wind energy could not keep its momentum. Solar power installed capacity has increased by a massive 2,063% since 2014, while wind installed capacity has risen just 93% during the same period. One of the reasons was the introduction of a competitive-based reverse bidding auction, where bidders keep the bids lower to win projects. Under the earlier Feed-in-Tariff mechanism, power price would be in accordance with the project cost. The tariffs fell from Rs 4-5 per unit to Rs 2.5-3 per unit after moving to auction, according to a parliamentary panel report. In fiscal 2021, solar tariffs ranged between Rs 2-2.2 per unit. Competitive bidding at low tariffs led to concentration of projects in only two states of Gujarat and Tamil Nadu, where wind speeds are higher. This has put pressure on land availability and power evacuation infrastructure in these states, leading to delays in project commissions. For instance, there have been delays in commissioning of Bhuj II, Jam Khambhaliya and Tirunelveli extension projects in 2021. Vinay Rustagi, Managing Director, Bridge To India Energy says tariffs went down drastically after wind moved to competitive bidding. Costs have also gone up since 2019-20. Majority of wind suppliers facing deep financial challenges/  Payment delays by discoms Payment delays from power distribution companies also led to troubles for wind power companies. According to a CRISIL report, debt worth Rs 30,000 crore for wind power projects faced stress due to payment risks from discoms as of January 2021. Sunil Jain, Chairman, Indian Renewable Energy Alliance says government should do away with reverse-bidding auctions. Indian can add another 50,000 MW by 2030 if we fix the tariff system The road ahead The government has recently announced to scrap reverse-bidding auctions for wind projects, which came as a breather to the industry. In 2021, the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) awarded 2.4 GW of standalone wind tenders, which were oversubscribed in contrast with the past 2 years, when the subscribed volumes for standalone wind tenders were 50-80%.

Tamil scholar and orator Nellai Kannan passed away Thursday due to an age-related ailment at his residence in Tirunelveli. He was 77. During his visit to Sydney in 2016, SBS Tamil had the opportunity to interview Mr Nellai Kannan. - தமிழகத்தின் பிரபல மேடைப்பேச்சாளரும் இலக்கியவாதியுமான தமிழ்க்கடல் நெல்லை கண்ணன் அவர்கள் நேற்று சென்னையில் காலமானார். அவருக்கு வயது 77. கடந்த 2016ம் ஆண்டு சிட்னி தமிழ்க் கலை மற்றும் பண்பாட்டுக் கழகம் நடத்திய நிகழ்வொன்றில் கலந்துகொள்வதற்காக ஆஸ்திரேலியா வருகை தந்தநெல்லைக் கண்ணன் அவர்கள், SBS தமிழுக்கு நீண்ட நேர்காணல் ஒன்றை வழங்கியிருந்தார். அதன் சுருக்கத்தை இப்போது மறு ஒலிபரப்புச் செய்கிறோம். அவரோடு உரையாடியவர் றேனுகா துரைசிங்கம்.

A version of this essay was published by chanakya forum at https://chanakyaforum.com/infrastructure-in-the-deep-peninsula-for-national-security-and-self-reliance/A Swarajya report https://swarajyamag.com/infrastructure/vo-chidambaranar-port-to-expand-with-rs-7200-crore-project-to-compete-with-colombo-and-singapore-as-transhipment-hub  about V O Chidambaram port in Thoothukkudi (Tuticorin), TN, and its plans to expand into a container trans-shipment port was interesting. It reminded me of a plan I have mooted for some time (without success so far) about building up logistics infra, industrial capacity and defense capability in the deep south. Briefly, India’s much-desired success as a manufacturing and export power will be compromised unless there is good transportation infrastructure for both bulk cargo and for high-value, low-weight industrial goods. Today, India’s container cargo is highly dependent on Colombo, Singapore and Dubai for trans-shipment (that is, transferring cargo from the giant motherships to smaller ships). If I am not mistaken, 25% of India’s containers transit through Colombo alone.Colombo, in fact, depends on India for over 70% of its business. Their existing East Terminal is Chinese-controlled; the proposed  West Terminal is apparently taken up by India’s Adani group on a BOT basis. Nevertheless, it is possible to imagine that at a point of geo-political stress, as with Sri Lanka’s troubles today, or if the Chinese decide to embargo Indian containers (as they did without notice for exports of rare-earths to Japan), Indian trade could be badly affected. Thanks for reading Shadow Warrior! Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.The under-construction Vizhinjam port in Trivandrum, also controlled by Adani Ports, has a proposed capacity of 1.8 million TEUs in the first phase, and 5.3 million TEUs in the second phase. The proposed VOC container terminal at Thootthukkudi will have a capacity of 4 million TEUs. (A TEU or twenty-foot equivalent can be taken to be a single container for practical purposes).The right solution would be for these two ports to work in coordinated fashion, one on each side of the Peninsula, and not get into destructive competition. Image courtesy Swarajya Magazine.Road connectivity Image: Courtesy Google MapsRail connectivity (upto Tirunelveli), image courtesy Google MapsMy idea has been a railway line and an industrial corridor linking the two, which are roughly 200km apart by road. Both ports have their advantages, and together they can serve a significant hinterland, and the proposed developments between them can provide a measure of maritime security in an area that has been neglected so far, but will become increasingly critical.There are three aspects to it: connectivity, a focused industrial corridor, and security. Thank you for reading Shadow Warrior. This post is public so feel free to share it.Connectivity, shipping routes and trunk national rail and road linksVizhinjam has a multi-modal advantage: the port is only 15 km from a major international airport, Trivandrum, and both the port and the airport are controlled by Adani Ports, so that they could coordinate multi-modal shipment of goods, including at some point, inland waterway transport via National Waterway Three. Thoothukkudi airport is much smaller. But both are linked to the national trunk routes of the Golden Quadrilateral highways and railway lines passing through Tamil Nadu. So container traffic can be moved between the two with relatively little effort; also upcountry containers from/to Bangalore or Hyderabad or further inland can be moved with relative ease down to either of them without much trouble (the connectivity links for both to the trunk routes are either in place or are being built up).In terms of the shipping lanes in the Arabian Sea, Vizhinjam has the advantage, as it is only 10 nautical miles away from the main sea lanes. VOC is a bit of a diversion, and unless there is some incentive, very large container ships (12000+ TEU for instance) would hesitate to steam the additional nautical miles. Vizhinjam also has the advantage of draft (undredged 16m). However, the TN government is good at getting things done, so that’s Thoothukkudi’s advantage. Industrial corridorThere is a surprising industry that could well be the focus of this corridor: aerospace. There are Thumba and Valiyamala in Trivandrum where ISRO has major facilities, including the rocket-R&D facility named Liquid Propulsion Systems Center. There is Mahendragiri in TN’s Tirunelveli district where the rockets are tested at the ISRO Propulsion Complex. Finally the new launch pad is to come up in Kulasekharapattanam in Thoothukkudi dstrict, TN (as a supplement to Sriharikota). All these are within a stone’s throw of each other.The three could form the end nodes for a dedicated aerospace industry cluster. There is little room for manufacturing in congested Kerala (although the R&D can happen there), but it is possible to acquire large tracts of semi-arid land (this being a rain-shadow region, desalination plants may need to be set up) in Tamil Nadu. India must improve its aerospace industry, both defense and civilian.There was also talk of Airbus seeking a production facility abroad, but perhaps that opportunity has been lost.  LPSC, Mahendragiri and Kulasekharapatnam of ISRO: Image courtesy Google MapsIndia has fallen behind in aerospace; even a developing country like Brazil has its Embraer, and there is no good reason India cannot have a thriving aircraft industry, perhaps in a niche, especially as civilian air traffic is expected to soar in coming years. In addition, Tejas and Dhruv have gained a measure of scale with induction into the armed forces, and Brahmos is even being exported (its production base is in Trivandrum now). This means an ecosystem of component suppliers has sprung up. There is no question that India needs to continue to develop its own defense systems, both aircraft and missile, as the possibility of damaging sanctions and technology denial has gone up. Atmanirbhar is key.Maritime defenseMost Indian defense installations have been designed with Pakistan in mind. Thus northwest India and the west coast have been the focus. However, the very real threat of Chinese intrusions into the Indian Ocean needs to be given much more focus now. The Chinese are showing every intent of dominating the Indian Ocean with both surface ships and submarines.China’s crown jewels (apart from its new aircraft carriers) are the contents of its submarine pen on Hainan island, near Vietnam’s Haiphong. There are increasing activities by submarines in India’s vicinity. India has little protection or early warning on its east coast. This is one of the reasons that there are new naval installations and long-range radars in the Andamans, which lie close to the mouth of the Straits of Malacca. It would be a good idea to set up an airbase with long-range radar in southern Tamil Nadu too, to keep an eye on what’s happening in the Bay of Bengal/Indian Ocean area. Besides, surveillance with Poseidon P8i type submarine hunter-killer aircraft could be useful. I remember when I worked in Mountain View, California, I could see from my office Orion P3i craft taking off and landing incessantly at Moffett Field. India does have important assets on its south-eastern seaboard. One example would be the Koodankulam nuclear plant. I suppose Kulasekharapatnam would also be a potential target for hostile forces. Sterlite would have been if only it hadn’t already been sabotaged. The deep south has not gotten its fair mind-share. It is time to change that, and in ways that will benefit the rest of the country through efficient trade networks, manufacturing clusters, and defense. 1200 words, 30 May 2022 This is a public episode.

तमिलनाडु के दक्षिण में एक छोटी सी यात्रा शुरू हुई, उसके शहर तिरुनेलवेली से और ख़त्म हुई नागरकोइल में । यात्रा देश के कुछ सबसे सुन्दर इलाकों से होते हुए गुज़री। खूबसूरत मंदिर, हरे भरे खेत, पहाड़, साफ़ सुथरे गाँव और फिर पवन चक्कियों के फार्म जिन्हे अंग्रेजी में विन्डफ़ार्म्स कहते हैं। जहाँ दिर्श्य इतने सुन्दर थे वहीँ उनके पीछे की कहानियाँ जिनसे इंसान जुड़े थे वो उतनी ही निराशाजनक थीं। कहीं कॉलेज के अध्यापक अपने दिमागी खांचों में फंसे थे तो कहीं व्यपार के कुछ ऐसे नियम थे जो सारी समभावनाओं को ही खत्म कर रहे थे। A Journey of Beauty and Dejection: TirunelveliThe southern end of Tamil Nadu was the scene of a short journey from the temple town of Tirunelveli to Nagercoil just before Kanyakumari. It was a journey of contrasts; beautiful temples, rich heritage, amazing landscapes, and technological marvels presenting a visual treat in the form of windmills, but the interaction with academia and the story behind the glittering wind farms leave you sad and dejected.You can follow Keshav Chaturvedi on social media:Facebook: ( https://www.facebook.com/keshav.chaturvedi.37/ )LinkedIn: ( https://www.linkedin.com/in/keshavchaturvedi/ )Instagram: ( https://www.instagram.com/keshavchaturvedi9/ )Twitter: ( https://twitter.com/keshavchat )You can listen to this show and other awesome shows on the IVM Podcasts app on Android: https://ivm.today/android or iOS: https://ivm.today/ios, or any other podcast app.

Police Matters: The Everyday State and Caste Politics in South India, 1900–1975 (Cornell UP, 2021) moves beyond the city to examine the intertwined nature of police and caste in the Tamil countryside. Radha Kumar argues that the colonial police deployed rigid notions of caste in their everyday tasks, refashioning rural identities in a process that has cast long postcolonial shadows. Kumar draws on previously unexplored police archives to enter the dusty streets and market squares where local constables walked, following their gaze and observing their actions towards potential subversives. Station records present a textured view of ordinary interactions between police and society, showing that state coercion was not only exceptional and spectacular; it was also subtle and continuous, woven into everyday life. The colonial police categorized Indian subjects based on caste to ensure the security of agriculture and trade, and thus the smooth running of the economy. Among policemen and among the objects of their coercive gaze, caste became a particularly salient form of identity in the politics of public spaces. Police Matters demonstrates that, without doubt, modern caste politics have both been shaped by, and shaped, state policing.  Radha Kumar is Assistant Professor of History at the Maxwell School in Syracuse University.

And finally the episode you all waited for! Probably the last guys on bhoomi to talk about Bhoomi In this 25th episode of Tea Kada Benchu we analyse in-depth about Jayam Ravi's 25th cult classic BHOOMI Drug Lord joins us after 3 months to discuss 10 reasons why we all loved watching Bhoomi alongside Cat and Robo. This movie has already set the benchmark for other Farming based movies with some top notch emotional scenes, a multinational corporate villain who leaves all his works aside just to take down a NASA scientist in a small town in Tirunelveli with some goose bump songs in-between! The gripping screenplay consists of all Whatsapp forwards and ShareChat posts that you have ever come across in your entire life We have no personal hatred towards Jeyam Ravi (Robo is a personal kanni of his movie Thani Oruvan) This episode was recorded mainly to inform people with the right stats and figures which were misleading in the movie! Now you may ask us that most movies never have logic! Yes, we agree to that but this is not some commercial mass masala or a sci-fi movie! This is a movie was meant to tell you the plight of farming in India and how evil these foreign corporates are! The BHOOMI crew wanted to give you a message! And we wanted to give you the right information! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/mba-meme-school/message
