Sensitive topic. Is it wrong to identify as a Brahmin It’s not a rhetorical question. I am genuinely asking, is it wrong for a Brahmin to identify as a unique community. For example, Shettys of west karnataka also have a community that is defined by cultural things like language, behavior, food etc. Take my example. I am born into a Brahmin family. While I’ve heard about instances of casteism in my family years before I was born, nowadays the typical casteist behavior has reduced to almost a nil, because of people on my family becoming more and more aware.... 1 0 replies
Looking for someone to go on walks! Hey folks, I am looking for someone to go on casual strolls and grab some snacks during evenings near MMDA/ Aminjikarai. I usually go all by myself, but having someone to talk and walk feels nice. Life has not been so great ever since 2024, and to top it up, I work entirely from home. So social life is non-existent, would love to make some friends. Btw, I am 25 M, looking to make new buddies. Fingers crossed! 2 0 replies
How accepting are people in Chennai about guys moving to their wives' place after marriage? Veetoda Maaplai has become a thing to joke about but how okay is this idea in real life?

Do parents of the girl child really would be okay with this idea if both girl and guy are fine with it? What are the practical and potential issues in such arrangement here? Has someone, you know has actually done this? 3 0 replies
Warm Butter Biscuits Folks that grew up in the 90s in Chennai, have you ever had the hot/warm butter biscuits on the suburban line between central and arakkonam? I keep wondering whatever happened to those. They were really good 😕 The vendors carried them around in the Dalda tins and would serve them warm on a newspaper. Would love to try and get them again if they’re available. 5 0 replies
How many of you will marry intercaste Almost all my “upper” caste friends specifically “love” only “upper” caste people and marry them. This didn’t happen by chance or luck. Cos these people feel, they owe it to their parents. But I know that they really believe in their heart that they are superior. I know cos they feel their parents taught them not to discriminate. ( who the fuck gave you the power to discriminate) they feel they can’t mingle into lower caste households cos their practices are different. Rant is basically, I see a lot... 5 0 replies

Caste discrimination without knowing 31M here. My Mom used to tell me that you shouldn't enter home if you got hair cut even though you washed your hair in saloon. I thought it was a higene practice. Last Sunday she told me to enter. I asked why now? She told me that if Ambattar touched you. You can't enter without bathing yourself even it's your own home. I felt so stupid after realising this. Coz after opposing the caste discrimination in work place/neighbourhood I realised that it's still in our home. Anyway she... 1 0 replies
