It was an honour to respond to Dr Thol Thirumavalavan ji's excellent speech at the @HouseofLords2 today. Organised by @DSNUK, the meeting about why UK's caste law is so vital. was chaired by Lord Richard Harries. I presented @thirumaofficial with a copy of #AmbedkarInLondon

The child who worked hard throughout, completed engineering as a gold medalist, placed in a leading IT firm with a six figure salary, returning home like this for being in love — FOR BEING HUMAN! Unfortunately, we are all NOT EQUAL HUMANS!

Serious and life threatening hate and harrassment that @GIsaivani has been subjected to is criminal and heartbreaking. The #Chennai Police Commissioner must arrest those involved without delay. #IStandwithIsaivani

Social Media thugs spewing hate against @GIsaivani for her song ‘I’m Sorry Ayyappa’ that intends to address gender discrimination is unacceptable! This Dalit woman was on BBC’s 2020 list of the world’s 100 most inspiring & influential women alongside Jane Fonda, Bilkis Bano etc.

Simple or random acts of kindness are a bedrock of society. Today (5 November) around 13:25 at the @ChelwestFT stop the @TfL lady bus driver on the 14 (BV66VHK) towards Putney went way beyond with a simple, heartfelt gesture and exchange with an elderly passenger. RT please.

Various "Devanampiya Piyadasi" inscriptions on the Pillars of Ashoka, Devanampriya" means "Beloved of the Gods". It is often used by Ashoka in conjunction with the title Priyadasi, which means "He who regards others with kindness", "Humane".

@BFI please bring Pa Ranjith @beemji and his magnificent film #Thangalaan to the BFI London and the UK for a discussion. BFI's already recognised his film #Kaala in BFI’s 25 films of 21st century. The only Indian film on this list! @Nadine_Writes

Must read insights into @beemji Anna’s #Thangalaan
How Thangalaan reckons with Brahminism and reclaims the Dalit cultural identity

Such inspiring work by @ACDAnews
@ACDAnews welcomes UN CERD's recommendation the UK (again) brings into force EA Section 9(5)(a) on #Caste (Para 14(b)) of Concluding Observations on the combined twenty-fourth to twenty-sixth periodic reports of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

Word! 🥁
Directors like Ranjith and Mari have the pressure to constantly deliver the best of the best and speak the right words every time, one slight misstep and their entire credibility is questioned. Both Intentional and unintentional biases are held against them.

For 5 consecutive summers, my dad sent me & my sibling to 10-days camp on Buddhist History. Classes starts with Indus Civilisation, Naga Clan, Aryan Invasion, Asoka & ends with Babasaheb. Watching this visually on pop cult through #Thangalaan is so empowering. Thanks @beemji na🩵

Watch a group of Dalit Women characters dancing to celebrate their dignity, upon wearing a peice of cloth first time ever to cover thier breast (which is otherwise denied to the community) is very overwhelming! “Kottum Parai-ya vanthu Kondadu Kondadu!! ” Love you @beemji na!

Magic realism as a genre has rarely been explored in Tamil cinema. But Pa Ranjith, using the element of mysticism, has delivered the stunningly magical Thangala

I don't think I can ever make a film that satisfies everybody keeping the politics aside. I don't think such an apolitical art form exists either. I will voice out what I feel is wrong, I don't mind even if my brother or friends go against me. - Pa. Ranjith.
