Condolences for victims and Salutes for martyrs!!!


Hi friends,Many of u might have seen the War on Mumbai (as media calls it), on television sets.Some of you have been very close to attack sites (happily unharmed). At present the news conforms 150 victims. It has a unprecedented attack on an unprecedented manner, which has resulted in death of some of the innocent and some brave hearts...I feel sorry for all who lost their dear ones for the deathly attack and hats off to all brave men who died saving others...I dont want to blame the politicians who are worth nothing more than bullshit and the intelligence which has continously and consistenly failed us all the time. But i want them to answer for the lives of the 150 which has been fell. Sorry for the innocent victims and HATS off to the HEROES (whom we will definetely forget in a month,sorry to say that)One question at this point of time in my mind???Will there be a same kind of attention given and risks be taken to save the lives of people if it hadnt been taj and oberoi, but in some kinda slum....when the hostages are not CEOS strinking deals, but beggars on their heals????? i doubt it!!!LETS STAND UNITED FOR PEACE!!!!!

The ninety-four shades of E.V. Ramasamy "Periyar" Naidu

You have to know me as a person before you read this article. This is not history, but a perspective and it is absolutely necessary to know the relevant details about the writer before reading their perspectives.  I'm not a Brahmin. I was born into the Nadar caste, which was suppressed by the then upper castes in the colonial era and liberated later. However, I do not consider myself a part of that caste anymore. Under the cover of building an identity and a sense of community, organised castes have developed only hatred towards other castes and I do not belong there. Though I'm an atheist and though I do not practice/preach religious rituals, my spiritual(not religious) beliefs are rooted in the philosophy of Tamils, most of which modern-day Hinduism has encapsulated. So, I'm part atheist, part Hindu (rather a strange combination). I love Tamil immensely. I will do anything to promote her, but I will not impose her on a non-Tamil speaker. I believe in freedom, equality a

The world has seen many entrepreneurs who run businesses to be successful and wealthy, but Tamil Nadu produced a man who turned an entrepreneur to fight the might of the British and to prove them that India can stand up on its own legs. In this venture of his, he lost all his wealth and led a life of sacrifice so that we can breath freedom.  Chapter 1: Early years V.O. Chidambaram Pillai (VOC) was born on September 5, 1872 in Ottapidaram (the same place where Veerapandiya Kattabomman's memorial fort is). He was the eldest son of Olaganathan Pillai, an eminent lawyer and Parvathi ammal. He did his schooling in Ottapidaram, Thoothukudi(Tuticorin) and Thirunelveli, learnt English from a Taluk officer, and read Ramayana and Mahabharatha with his  grandparents. After finishing his schooling, he was employed as a clerk in the Thoothukudi Taluk office briefly before he went to Thiruchi to study law. He graduated in 1894 and a year later, returned to  Ottapidaram to practice law.

Forbidden history: Vanchinathan, the young freedom fighter

Indian historians have always had selective memory. To them, the four cities of Shahjahanabad(Delhi), Mumbaai(Mumbai), Mahishur(Mysore) and Kalikata(Kolkata) form the boundaries of the country. Many a men have lost their place in Indian history due to this geopolitical blindness. One such man is Vanchinathan.  Personal life: Vanchinathan was born into a Brahmin family in 1886 in the southernmost corner of the country. Sengottai, the town in which he was born, literally means 'Red fort' in English, but this one is not celebrated as the other one in the northern corner of the country. As a child, it is said, Vanchinathan was polite and unassuming, almost shy. He also seems to have been studious, graduating with a B.A. from Moolam Thirunal Maharaja College in Thiruvananthapuram and a M.A from Baroda university. While he was in college, he married Ponnammal with whom he fathered a daughter. After college, he was offered a clerkship in Travancore forest department which he happil
