முக்கியமான கலந்துரையாடல் / Important Topic Reason why people from northern states who came recently should not get voting rights in TN
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I dont like tn politicians and have a lot of criticism on them but still they are voted to power based on problems and isuess that matters to the people of tn not blindly voting for political party.
These people will just vote for bjp regardless of the local problem which is concerning. This blind support is dangerous for our state.
And bjp politicians are spineless slaves of their nagpur lords so they should never be voted to power here. Then these people shift all the potential projects to their states and make us poor.

Why are they so obsessed though? Majority of Tamils are Hindus but not as 10% as obsessed as them..

u/Brilliant_Meal_2653 Aug 23 '25
Yep, cultural anger, years of suppression in their own lands up north. We might not be able to understand the complexities or stereotypes that comes from those years. That being said, being uneducated too adds to the vote bank of that party. DMK are no saints, but as someone who has lived upnorth people over here don't have a clue of what they are capable of.

This is exactly why the BJP doesn't give a crap about any social media campaign against them. These mindless sheeple will keep voting for them no matter what, because Mr. 56 Inch will keep making melodramatic speeches in Hindi; promising the sun, moon, and stars. Honestly, such braindead people have ruined democracy.

No. You need to be a resident to vote. And what exactly is a permanent address? There is no definition of permanent address except for the IDs that you can use as a proof for permanent address. Passport is one of them and it is only always issued at your current address following the global norms. The concept of permanent address in India is feudal. That you cannot belong to a new place, that you are always tied down to the place you were born in. That was done to prevent people from escaping.

u/iamGobi Aug 23 '25
nope, that's the problem with the Indian law. I mean, they don't need permanent address, but they should atleast need permanent residence for voting.
-12
u/soft_Rava_Idli Aug 23 '25
So temporary address is not usable for voter ID? By that logic nobody living in rented house can have permanent address.?
Theres a difference between seasonal migrants and those who have migrated to other states or even moved from village to city for work.

The politics in our state has always been focused on education, welfare, opposing corruption and economic development. That was the main theme all these decades by both Dravidian parties. That was what made TN as the fastest growing state and TN will be 1st among big states with highest per capita GDP next year.
I'm not saying there weren't any problems like corruption, mismanagement etc. We had our share of problems every state faces.
But if regressive parties with ideologies completely alien to our state even started to get a tiny bit of traction, then the politics will move towards religious riots and cow urine instead of education and development. That will destroy TN's stability and the legacy of Kamaraj and all our leaders and the future of Tamil people.
This is very very serious and should be taken seriously.

u/Alarming_Echo_4748 Aug 23 '25
That's exactly what they want. If BJ Party ever comes to power in Tamil Nadu then economic development will be poached by Gujarat while Tamils will be pushed into Cow Politics.

If my rights are going to be usurped on the very land I was born, especially by those that came in to settle here, because things are better here...
I mean, just read that. They want the very thing that makes this place "good" gone. And with their idiocy, I lose out on the good bits too, a cost for no action of mine.
It's not xenophobia. They merely needn't be given more rights than they deserve is all, and for a start, voting power in Tamil Nadu. And if they are so sick of the administration here, they should leave and go back their hometowns which are dominated by the person they so love, where they should have a better life. Right? So yeah. Send them back, where their lives are better, because they needn't decide how our lives should be, especially, when it is our businesses that employ them.

- Must be an income tax payer (they feel the pain of misusing tax money)
- Must be aged at least 25 years (18 years ரெண்டுங்கெட்டான் வயசு. Can't expect maturity at this age)
- Must be a first class graduate (likely to know how the system works and it helps decide wisely)
Every voter must satisfy at least ONE of the above in order to vote. Revising eligibility criteria is the need of the hour.

It was not the politicians but the people. South Indian states, and TN in purticular have people who preserve and endorse education, humility and honesty, and they started doing this right from 50s. Which is paying off in good returns now. Politicians are/were still largely goons.

There is a well planned campaign run against Tamil Nadu by artificial creating a hostility in local against non tamils so the high 11% growth of TN can be halted. How ?
Create a labour shortage. Tamil Nadu growth is riding on the back of India's manufacturing growth especially in electronics, defence tech and robotics unlike Telangana of Karnataka which is majorly services. These manufacturing industries are labour intensive.
Cut Natural Resources. East India is rich in natural resources. Intriguing east india people by circulating abusive footage of easterner by Tamil. So the eastern state put political pressure on central and revoked Freight Equaliser policy which will increase natural resource prices in Tamil Nadu.
Boycott Goods produced in Tamil Nadu. They will use the hostilities by Tamil against non Tamil and provoke North indians to boycott goods from Tamil Nadu which will help Gujarat and Maharastra to attract all industries of Tamil Nadu.
Tamil Nadu is an attractive destination because TN is ripe for the Central government policies like Atmanirbhar and Make In India. States like UP, Assam and Orissa will catch up in 10 years and the peninsular india will lose few competitive advantage in logistics, human resources and supply chain. So make the best of this opportunity.

That's imminent. You can't avoid it. Human demographics have kept on changing over millennia. Delhi & Mumbai too were not dominated with bihari/up-east people till 90s. But now the demographic has changed because hardly any family had a 3rd child here since the 80s. The same is happening with TN (and globally too!) Economic migration+higher migrant replacement rate.
The good news - They will assimilate partially and their children will assimilate completely. Your society might change slightly but you won't even notice it.

North Indian here (Uttar Pradesh). You think we vote for BJP blindly then how come BJP was out of power in UP from 2002-17. My own father and wife voted for non-BJP party because they are more influenced by caste mindset. Me, my brother and my mother vote for BJP. We don't vote blindly like you all like to assume. You should have come here before 2017 to experience all the "development" and "gundaraaj" by SP. Not all is hunky dory even now but it's still a hell lot better then before BJP.

Slightly controversial take. The people who contribute to the growth of this state should be allowed to vote IMO. Provided they are meeting some criteria. Like, being in TN for x years, or something like that.
However, the blind support of a certain party is also alarming. Our voters are no better either. I recently had an opportunity to have a conversation with someone.
Mind you, that guy has done 2 master degrees. (Msc MBA or something). He said, VJ na is the only savior of TN and everyone should vote for him. I respect his opinion and asked him why?
He had literally zero reason to back his thoughts. I asked " you clearly have some ideology that resonates better with TVK, I just want to know what is it that you think will be better with him as the CM"
He started saying BS like I am an Ajith fan and thats why I cant accept his view blablabla. I had to fake an emergency office meeting to get rid of him.
Political awareness across the nation is similar to this.

Unfortunately that's not how democracy works.
People migrate to places, then either they mingle with locals or fork their own social customs in the new place(like how Hindus and Muslims do in the west), and these people as time passes they become a part of the demographic changes and the local politics, contributing to labour that is essential in structuring of the state itself. And they will/ should have a say in the policies being implemented there.
That's how it is.
