It's not a reading competition bro.. Stephen Hawking couldn't even speak but he did wonders in physics world.. This is basic sangi கூமுட்டை தனம் to link language proficiency to intelligence.. It shows you don't have anything to say about the flawless contentful #TNBudget

Reading skills don't interpret knowledge, take example of BJP mostly everyone can read good but how about their knowledge and understanding of living.
