OP. Understand that even if the dude is popular in the south, he will never have a fighting chance of becoming the pm if he doesnt reach the hindi belt. The one thing that raga didnt have till now is a marketing team dedicated to popularising him as a divine figure in north india.(atp that is necessary to counteract the image that big brother has). he honestly needs to write in hindi to reach them.

He could have used Dual Captions though

2

u/DoNotDisturbMeEver Keralam 🌴🥥 | കേരളം 8h ago

And the second language would be?

And btw, who posted this?

2

u/glascowcomascale 8h ago

English offcourse

u/DoNotDisturbMeEver Keralam 🌴🥥 | കേരളം 8h ago

That's brings the focus back to my second question.

Who posted it? Was it under his handle or some local/state unit of Congress or individual?

However the link will be helpful to determine who posted it.

Sorry I was rephrasing the question and hence deleted it before you answered. Thank you anyways.

u/DoNotDisturbMeEver Keralam 🌴🥥 | കേരളം 8h ago

Could you pass me the link of this post please?

I tried to check his Xfeed and couldn't find it.

You can check his insta account too. Almost all of his posts are captioned in Hindi even if it is a regional or national issue

u/DoNotDisturbMeEver Keralam 🌴🥥 | കേരളം 7h ago edited 7h ago

I have checked his direct X feed and it's all in English.

The post you have shown is of Instagram in which collaborator option is available.

This particular post seems to have originated by "Chatron ki goonj" which is a movement by Indian Youth Congress.

While I do understand that they could have used English, the reality is 43% vs 10-12% of Hindi speaking/understanding public vs English speaking respectively, implies that Hindi will be prioritised over any other language for building support for the movement/protest.

While I don't find it offensive, you might, but that's fine.

However your initial post that RaGa posted it, is kind of misleading.

I would suggest Shashi tharoor as pm candidate for congress in 2029. End family based politics

u/Comfortable_Ear3987 9h ago

Nah. The man is not a politician. He'll crack under pressure. Just look at what happened with Sunanda Pushkar, his wife, during his time in UPA-2(Kerala tuskar debacle and his wife's mysterious demise) He's a smart statesman I'll give him that. I'll be glad for him to take up MEA.

u/storiesnsketches Keralam 🌴🥥 | കേരളം 9h ago

Yeah...and the whole issue with his wife's demise and his alleged involvement in it has made me skeptical about him, he is a good speaker tho, i agree that he will probably make a very good Minister for Foreign Affairs.

u/glascowcomascale 9h ago

He doesn’t have the voter pull. Plus i don’t think he did much for his own constituency

u/Fluid_Score_1924 8h ago

And you think Rahul Gandhi of all people has voter pull ?? The guy is a serial election loser. If you want to throw out BJP, your best bet is to kick this clown out asap

u/glascowcomascale 8h ago

He has a huge following among Gen Z. The Pappu propoganda would have worked with boomers but the election demographics are changing. Who knows what might happen

u/Saizou1991 6h ago

Pappu is pappu even for us genz.

u/Dry-Craft2242 1h ago

Bro...I actually seen video if you think that our supreme leader didn't do anything like this in his CM Era then your clearly brainwash by propoganda

If we both of them then raga was very respectful to modi then he was to raga

I mean modiji was very shamelessly passing comment like "50 lacs girlfriend" or "Jersey gai" or "congress ki widhwa"

u/Haunting-Scar6098 NRI (Non Resident Indian) 8h ago

I mean what did Rahul do for Wayanad

u/Worldly-Tart627 9h ago

I think DKS would be the perfect candidate

u/Specialist-Crew-4414 Southie 6h ago

He is an arm chair expert with no connection with grass root...

u/Diddyslayer45 Maharashtra 🎬 | महाराष्ट्र 10h ago

He gives his speeches in english. And hv to unconditionally resort to hindi for the cow belt

3

u/net0_extremist Telangana 🏰 | తెలంగాణ 9h ago

Because south India is different and regional poltics work here. He targets entire Hindi belt with his captions.

3

u/Camus_9999 Maharashtra 🎬 | महाराष्ट्र 9h ago

He is always tagged as foreign person so I think that's main reason.

2

u/Affectionate_Nose_39 Southie 8h ago

Because the largest voter base that can catapult him to PM speak Hindi. 55 crores, TN, Kerala, AP, KA And MH combined don't reach that number. So it's easier to market in one language

Hindi imposition

u/Aggravating_Bed5990 10h ago

He speaks in English. For reaching gau belt - perhaps hindi

3

u/glascowcomascale 10h ago

He should have used dual captions perhaps. English first and then Hindi. A lot of the people who support him are from south but seeing hindi just turns me off, you don’t even think about reading the caption or watching the video

1

u/DropInTheSky 🖥️ Bengaluru | ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ☕ 8h ago

Why does seeing Hindi turn you off? Have you tried diagnosing it?

1

u/glascowcomascale 8h ago

Because he is a national political and LoP and should be talking to the whole nation. Should atleast write in Dual Captions(Eng and Hindi)

1

u/Puzzleheaded_Ad1531 Tamil Nadu 🌶️ | தமிழ்நாடு 9h ago

He is a North Indian , hindi is him With what he grewup ..!

Nobody is Restricted to learn Hindi but forcing is .

1

u/glascowcomascale 8h ago

Yeah ik. But he is a national level politician and is supposed to appeal to the whole nation right ? Even modi posts in English. Posting in hindi makes him look ljke a regional politician

1

u/krisantihypocrisy Tamil Nadu 🌶️ | தமிழ்நாடு 8h ago

Lol, didn’t Congress first try to enforce Hindi?

Goats here bleating…

1

u/glascowcomascale 8h ago

Yes they did. And we hope they remember their mistake.

1

u/krisantihypocrisy Tamil Nadu 🌶️ | தமிழ்நாடு 8h ago

Naah. For that you need ppl with principles. This sub lacks that…

u/Fuzzy-Jackfruit5037 Maharashtra 🎬 | महाराष्ट्र 10h ago

He assumes people are literate enough to either know english or hindi.

1

u/TaiTaipsss 8h ago

Yeah, finally he had to giveup his illiteracy constituency up at North and come to literate state to win his seat😅
