Recorded this rant for a friend back in November, 2023.

Selective rants on Love Today

Originally published here in Feb, 2009: http://englishtamil.blogspot.ca/2009/02/violence-disenfranchisement-and.html


1'-5': Protests in distant lands -- far from where it may actually have an "effect".
5'-12': An individual's interaction with the state; role of violence in maintaining a statehood.
12'-14': Nationalist arrogance
14'-19': Why should the systemically marginalized and the oppressed live by a state's laws?
19'-23': Periyar and Tagore on "India" the nation.
23'-28': Constructing nationalist loyalties; erosion of leftist perspective in mainstream media. (pothu putthi - common/mainstream sensibility.)
28'-35': Muthukumar's self-immolation; Tamil Nadu's indifference to protests and the plight of Sri Lankan Tamils.

Uploading because a few people actually requested it. Originally recorded in June 2008, so my views aren't the same in some if not many things I've said in the podcast.
