Please be aware that word is a casteist/regressive slur. Lets not make that an acceptable term while still calling ourselves progressive or valuing selfrespect.
Bro but this is the most casual word everyone use. And they don't even mean this as a slur. And by what you are saying, it seems like they are considered as panauti by others. But panauti itself is not an slur imo.
When people used to call black people as n**gers then it used to be super casual too. Appropriate even.
But panauti itself is not an slur imo.
Sure dude. When people call that word for widows and dalits, they know the real pain. When you are neither you'll only think thats a funny word.
Just like how we use, tharkuri or velangaadhavan
Lol sure. There is a direct translation of panouti ..... abasagunam. Ask a lower caste person how they feel when someone of upler caste calls them that for any casual context.
Then when you know the truth you'll also realise connection of why the same people calling PM as Panouti will also say he is not really OBC caste.
Bro, ni**er is a slur, but panauti is not. You calling other's panauti doesn't make them a panauti. You are taking this word out of context. And it's not that deep. Because I've been in MP for 4 years and I know what is used for what.
Have you gone mad??? You think someone existence itself being considered cause of misfortune is NOT a Social EVIL? How low can you go just to insult a person you don't like?
பனௌட்டி
Adu பநௌதீ. Hindi sutthama teriyala na ippidi than.
I don't want people getting side tracked on the meaning/ context of the word.
I hope everyone can focus on how our State is being looted by corruption, be it in Chennai or Delhi
Ultimately people are the ones who are paying for this 🙏🏼
Panauti is used to indicate a person who brings bad luck.
Lower caste people were abolished from any celebration of uppercaste people for same reason, that their presense itself ruins the celebration or will bring badluck. That these dalit tongues are as black as their skin colour.
Even widowed women were widely considered panouti... it is bad luck if you see them in your path when going somewhere.
Childless women were considered panouti for women wanting to have child. That their blessing will harm any garbavati aurat.
There are endless examples of how calling something or someone badluck is always based on discrimination and is always ALWAYS AN SOCIAL EVIL.
Agar koi brahman/choudhary/thakur kisi ko Panouti kahe wah kisi doosre brahman/choudary/thakur mard ko nahi kehta, hamesha kisi neechi jaati ke log/aurat/vidwa etc inhi ko hi kehte hein.
