Why's the Dravidian media singing hosannas to Smt Sasikala? They think she will do a JJ and consolidate the AMMK-AIADMK splinters. Then it will be back to the days of a dual-party oligarchy with 2 revolving doors.
Sorry, mitron, this is not 1990. Mu Ka was then a sprightly 66 /1
Sorry, mitron, this is not 1990. Mu Ka was then a sprightly 66 /1
with an energetic 37 yr old Stalin by his side. JJ was 42, with a whole career in politics ahead of her. VKS is a sickly woman with years in prison behind her and a lonely widowhood stretching ahead. Her courtiers are not JJ's courtiers. MKS is aging with a heir apparent who's /2
a teenager stuck in a 40-yr-old man's body. The courtiers are fat, slow and too rich. Where are the subaltern up-and-coming leaders? Where are the idealists? There is too much cynicism. The Dravidian dream is beginning to fray. MBCs want nothing more than to Sanskritize /3
and urbanize. CSI and RC have lost all credibility in people's minds. Muslim families are as small as Hindu ones. There is a huge aspirational middle class for which the culture wars of the 60s are meaningless. Sing Namaste Sada Vatsale now and be ahead of the curve /END
