    / August 22, 2011 / 4 Comments
    By M S Hussain   In my earlier blog on this topic, I wrote about why I think Anna Hazare is an ‘empty suit’. The point is that Mr. Hazare is not a prophetic, powerful pulpiteer. He talks like a retired school headmaster, admonishing students for being tardy in their...

    By M S Hussain   Trust the media to make a hero out of a geriatric, Anna Hazare, with a hidden agenda. I will get to the hidden agenda in a moment, but I have an idea that Mr. Hazare’s campaign, movement, call it what you will, will peter out...

    By T S Sudhir Call him star struck or plain eccentric, B S Yeddyurappa took his obsession with Gods, stars and the almanac to a different level. All through his innings as chief minister of Karnataka, Yeddy interpreted the `God’s work is Government’s work’ line that is embossed at the...

     By T S Sudhir “Daag achhey hain” seems to be the philosophy of Karnataka chief minister B S Yeddyurappa. After all, when his white safari suit is already sullied by the soot of Bellary’s mines, how does it matter to him if his critics poke fun at his being choosy...

    By Raamesh Gowri Raghavan And I am not talking about the mounds of garbage lying uncollected in the streets of Maisuru-formerly-Mysore, Hubbali-formerly-Hubbali or Kalaburgi-formerly-Gulbarga. My eloquence shall not be spent upon the rights of women in the bars of Mangaluru-formerly-Mangalore, the mouldy pink things in Pramod Muthalik’s backyard, or the...

    My dear brothers and sisters, I write this letter to you with a very heavy heart. You are all aware of the developments in Karnataka over the last few days. How my political rivals are targeting my poor self. First they ruined my holiday that my family had planned for...

      “Devare Illa, Devare Illa” screamed an agitated B S Yeddyurappa, storming into the BJP meeting. Finding the other leaders perplexed, he fished out a piece of paper from his pocket and read out in English “There is no God”.   “See, I told you na,” chuckled Sushma Swaraj to...

    By T S Sudhir Like the soap operas on Sun TV, where once every few weeks, there is a flare-up, with the mother-in-law banishing the daughter-in-law (or vice versa), the curtains have gone up on yet another Act in the Karnataka nataka. The latest kahaani me twist, of course, is...

      By T S Sudhir   “If you people had not resigned, we could have discussed. Now things are no longer in my hands. It is now with the Speaker.” This is what Pranab Mukherjee told Telangana MPs who met him on Wednesday two days after having submitted their resignations. ...

    By T S Sudhir   Move over Governor H R Bharadwaj, Karnataka is now truly Bhagwaan Bharose. At 10 am on June 27, Lord Manjunatha temple at Dharmasthala, a famous pilgrim town (275 km from Bangalore) in Dakshina Kannada district, will get sucked into the acrimonious war of words between...
