    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   Palaniappan Chidambaram may be tempted to ask Sushma Swaraj: “Why this kolaveri, kolaveri, kolaveri di?” Except that he has good reason to be worried that Sushmaji may break into a jig, like she did a few months ago at Rajghat. And blame it this time on...

    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 G Mohan   C. Sivasankaran (Siva) is now in the news for implicating Dayanidhi Maran in the 2G scam. He has deposed before the CBI and has charged that Maran had forced him to sell Aircel to Maxis. Siva himself is a very mysterious businessman, once upon a time close to...

  7. Maran is disconnected

    By T S Sudhir So one more branch of Muthuvel Karunanidhi’s family tree looks set to become part of the woodwork at Tihar Jail. If political grapevine in Delhi is to be believed, Dayanidhi Maran may soon join his predecessor Andimuthu Raja. His relative Kanimozhi is only a stone’s throw away in...

  8. Marans think Indians are morons

    By M S Hussain   The sheer brazenness of Dayanidhi Maran, the Union Textiles Minister now and the Union Minister for Communications and IT in an earlier avataar, takes your breath away.  Despite Tehelka giving a plausible and credible report about how Maran’s conduct clearly was an example of conflict...

  9. Kalaignar defeats Kalaignar

    / May 21, 2011 /
    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...

  10. The disunited colours of Tamilnadu politics

     By T S Sudhir Ghulam Nabi Azad’s health portfolio clearly wasn’t concerned with keeping the DMK-Congress alliance in the pink of health. It is obvious the wily politician from Jammu & Kashmir deliberately kept shifting the line of actual control in the DMK-Congress marriage. He knew it would upset Dr Muthuvel Karunanidhi....
