    Kanimozhi has asked the Delhi High court to drop charges against her in the 2G case. Her lawyers argue that there is really no evidence against her that she conspired with the others who are being tried in the same case. Karunanidhi’s daughter spent six months in Tihar Jail before...

    Remember, how before the Indian team left for Australia, all of India was upbeat about their cricketing Gods. How the “strongest ever” Team India had the best chance to conquer “the final frontier”.   4-0 is now history as the Gods were found to have feet of clay that just did not...

    Manmohan Singh should send a `Thankyou card’ to Kapil Sibal. Witness how admirably, though unconvincingly, the Telecom minister stressed the fact that the PM had `zero’ role to play in the entire decision process on 2G.   Which is perhaps why the Congress thinks the BJP is wrong when it accuses...

    By T S Sudhir It is breakfast time inside Tihar Jail. While Suresh Kalmadi and Lalit Bhanot are standing in one line, Andimuthu Raja is in another queue. “Why there, Sir,” enquires Bhanot. “En vazhi thanee vazhi,” smiles Raja. “This is the queue for south Indian breakfast, Mr Bhanot. Idly,...

    By T S Sudhir   They have been one of the biggest success stories to emerge from the Dravidian turf. Suffice to say the Sun never sets on the Maran empire. Quite literally so. The Sun Network with its footprints all over India and even outside the country, is easily...

    Muthuvel Karunanidhi’s forte as an ace scriptwriter was social films. The most notable among them, `Parasakthi’, starring the late Sivaji Ganesan, in 1952. That film was seen as the first attempt by the Dravidian movement to use media for propaganda. Karunanidhi’s scripts propagated the socialist and rationalist ideals of the...

    After making seminal contributions to telecom growth in the country through its illustrious leader A Raja, DMK has now advocated a political equivalent of Mobile Number Portability (MNP). This revolutionary concept will enable the party to continue in power even after shifting loyalty to another coalition.   While MNP allows...

    By Dr Jayaprakash Narayan The 2G scam involving the Telecom minister who has since been forced to resign, has shocked the conscience of India. At almost the same time, the revelation of Tata Group chairman Ratan Tata that the Tatas kept away from aviation business because it was not prepared...

    The corruption case involving India’s Telecom and IT minister A Raja, is being followed with great interest here in Pakistan. Why, you may wonder. I guess we relate to the phenomenon of corruption as much as people in India do. Regardless of its scale, Raja’s corruption is very similar to...

    By Nara Chandrababu Naidu Nowhere in the world has a scam of this proportion taken place. No scandal is even remotely comparable to this one. One lakh 76 thousand seven hundred crore rupees. It makes the Bofors scandal that shook the country in the eighties, seem like kidstuff at 64...
