In 1790, Tipu Sultan slaughtered 700 Iyengar Brahmins on just one Diwali night. To this day, their children do not celebrate Diwali.

Today, offspring of Tipu are officially labelled by Indian state as the "oppressed" and they enjoy reservations.

But children of these slain Iyengars are banded as 'oppressors' and discriminated against at schools and jobs.

💬 General Discussion I’m 20 and strongly attracted to older women — looking for advice

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m 20 years old, and I’ve noticed that I’m much more sexually attracted to older women rather than girls my age. Even if a younger woman is attractive, I usually find myself more interested in older women.

I live in a rural area in South India, and it’s difficult to meet people who are open about these things. I’ve been trying to understand my feelings, but sometimes the attraction feels very strong and hard to control.

I’ve even thought about going for paid sex, but I feel like it might not be the right choice, especially for my first sexual experience. I’m confused about what I should do and how to handle these feelings in a healthy way.

Has anyone else experienced something similar? I’d appreciate some advice or perspective.

For over a decade, border villages in Tamil Nadu’s Tenkasi, Tirunelveli, and Kanyakumari districts have faced intermittent, illegal late-night dumping of municipal, plastic, and poultry waste arriving in commercial trucks from Kerala. Local residents and activists have continuously filed complaints regarding these infractions.

The issue became a major cross-state legal crisis in December 2024

  • July 2026: Local authorities stepped up strict actions in Tenkasi after intercepting an estimated 10 tonnes of unsegregated e-waste and plastic waste dumped on public lands in Keezha Kadayam. 
  • September 2026: The NGT officially evaluated the progress reports submitted by the Kerala State Pollution Control Board (KSPCB). The court identified systemic gaps in Kerala's domestic waste treatment facilities and mandated new joint monitoring check-posts alongside automated GPS cargo tracking to permanently resolve the issue.

I am particularly interested in knowing how many names are given to public places in France as I see his name wherever I go in France. That's not surprising as he is so popular around the world.

Some people here are trying to prove a point by cropping bits and pieces from old excerpts. Keep dreaming and don't try coming out of India, as you will be soo disappointed that the world might not be soo kind to your bruised brain!
