In Thuglak annual meet yesterday I had said when in 1987 Indian Express was questioned on taking Chandraswamy's help to probe Rajiv Gandhi's corruption Arun Shourie had said to fight fire one can't look to only Gangajal, can also throw Sewer water zeenews.india.com/tamil/tamil-na…
In the Thuglak meet I cited the Chandraswamy incident when a question was put to me whether the BJP would ally with Amma DMK and Azhagiri to fight the DMK. I didn't know what the BJP would do. But Thuglak had decided to tell the readers they should support ADMK-BJP alliance.
If finally something like what the reader had said happens Thuglak can't say now that the ADMK-BJP has taken those people we regarded as sewer we can't support then. It was to hedge against an unknown situation that I cited the Chandraswamy simili
How is it amounting to supporting Amma DMK which I regarded as Mafia I can't understand. I still regard Amma DMK as Mannargudi Mafia as some one had said once. Even if they become part of BJP-ADMK alliance I will regard them as only Mafia like we regarded Chandraswamy as sewer
We in Thuglak will continue to regard Mannargudi family as Mafia and they would turn ADMK into a family owned affair like the DMK. Our opinion on them will not change. This is to clarify and state our position because not the mischievous construction put on what I had said
How can equating some one Chandraswamy who we had equated to sewer water would amount to support I wonder. It is not only mischievous but also a dishonest interpretation

Tamil people must congratulate Foreign Miniater Jayshankar for his forthright statement on the Srilankan Tamils issue. He said "It is in Sri Lanka’s own interest that the expectations of Tamil people for equality, justice, peace and dignity within a united Sri Lanka are fulfilled
Jayshankar was emphatic what he said applies equally to the commitments made by the Sri Lankan Government on meaningful devolution, including the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. The progress and prosperity of Sri Lanka will surely be advanced as a consequence
The 13th constitution amendment of Srilanka was the outcome of Rajiv Gandhi Jayawaedhane accord of 1987 which created provincial autonomy, and made Tamil as national link language of Srilanka. The UPA Govt never spoke about 13th constitution amendment ever

Surappa Anna University VC, a man of impeccable integrity and an equally good academic, is being persecuted by TN Govt as he refused to give degrees to students with arrears. Thousands of students with 20-35 arrears who never clear the would have got degrees.
Surappa decision to refuse degrees to students with arrears was upheld by the UGC, SC and HC of Madras. This was a huge slap on the TN Govt. Now the Govt is taking revenge on Surappa for his action in protecting the academic standards of Anna University.
All academics, media and those interested in basic standards in education should stand by Surappa and raise their voice even as all ignorant and agenda based political parties have converged against Surappa

QUAD was the forethought of Modi and Abe which turned Asia-Pacific into Indo Pacific and made India the centre of powerful global actors. Once passiveIndia playing active global power game. Asokan India becoming the Arjuna India newsonair.com/News?title=Fou…
Arjuna &!Asoka had the same syndrome of despair. Asoka after Kalinga war & Asoka before Kurukshetra war. Krishna removed Arjunn’s confusion. None to remove Asoka’s. Result India became pacifist. Only a victorious Asoka could give up the war. A defeated Asoka couldn’t have.
Not understanding that a defeated Ashoka couldn’t have given up the war, and also he didn’t disband the army, independent India’s PM shocked the British commander telling him we don’t need an army, just police is sufficient. Within 2 months we needed an army

A fake debate is on in Tamil Nadu based on 3 suicides due to NEET. Truth is, the number of suicides due to choice has been declining since the advent of NEET. Suicide due to exams in Tamil Nadu in 2015 322. 215 in 2019 (NCRB Reports 2015 & 2019 on accidental deaths & suicides)
A student, who failed the NEET exam in Delhi, fell from the 8th floor and committed suicide. It did not become a political issue. google.co.in/amp/s/archive.…
Suicide because to exam & results is a common problem. Maharashtra is 1st . Tamil Nadu 2nd. It is unfortunate that the campaign & debate are going on as if suicide in TN stared only because of NEET. NEET kills only a few. Other exams kill hundreds. Why not ban all exams

தமிழகத்தில் நீட் காரணமாக 3 தற்கொலைகள் நடந்ததை வைத்து பொய் விவாதம் நடக்கிறது. உண்மையில் நீட் வந்தபிறகு தேர்வு காரணமாக நடக்கும் தற்கொலைகள் குறைந்து இருக்கின்றன. தமிழகத்தில் 2015 இல் தேர்வு காரணமாக தற்கொலை 322. 2019 இல் 215 (NCRB Reports 2015 & 2019 on accidental deaths & suicides)
பரீட்சை, அதன் முடிவு காரணமாக தற்கொலை பொதுவான பிரச்சினை. அதில் மகாராஷ்டிரா முதல் இடம். தமிழகம் இரண்டாவது. எனவே நீட் காரணமாகத்தான் தற்கொலை தற்கொலை துவங்கி இருப்பது போல பிரச்சாரமும் விவாதமும் நடப்பது துரதிர்ஷ்டம். பரிட்சைகளால் தற்கொலை நடக்கிறது என்றால் பரிட்சையே வேண்டாமா?
டெல்லியில் நீட் தேர்வில் தோல்வி அடைந்த மணவன் 8 வது மாடியில் இருந்து விழுந்து தற்கொலை செய்து கொண்டான். அது அரசியல் பிரச்சினை ஆகவில்லை. google.co.in/amp/s/archive.…

This intellectual terrorism against judiciary by left & liberals has been part of secular India. They do it commanding respect. Contra the SC particularly one judge hounded Modi from 2010. Was personally involved in preparing his defence. Not a single word escaped against SC
In the Sorahbuddin encounter case the SC was in possession of the CBI confidential report which had revealed the sorahbuddin operation was joint operation by Rajasthan & Gujarat (BJP) Andhra (congress) and IB was coordinating it. But this was not made available to the accused.
I exposed the CBI perfidy in NI Express
