Is the ruling party really concerned about Sri Lankan Tamils?

The Chief Minister owes a great deal of gratitude to the director of a film starring Vikram. Just like the politician who rakes up an issue which has been an issue for a long time to revive his sagging career, Karunanidhi has raked the the issue of Srilankan Tamils to gain political mileage, diverting the entire attention from the raging power crisis in the state. SriLankan Tamils definitely deserve a better livelihood and we should go all the way in helping them achieving it. But these acts of the politicians are only gimmicks to shroud the people's memory making them forget their own misery and their fellow country men. There are thousands of small scale industries such as weavers spread over the entire state for whom power supply is supremely important to sustain their livelihood. Making them devoid of power supply would eventually lead to famine and starvation and the world's perception of India as a poor country with famines all over will never change. One more atrocious act is forcing school children to form human chains as demonstrations to attract publicity. Instead of wasting tons of resources in the name of creating awareness. the money could have been spent on improving the current situation. All these are done not in the genuine interest of Srilankan Tamils but only to divert the attention from the raging power crisis and also to cash in on the situation of Tamils by evoking public sympathy in their favour, by showcasing the agony of Tamils. The only motive and outcome of this whole exercise has been and still is to gain political mileage and divert the attention of people from the 'current' situation.

Communism and Atheism

Is communism a name of party or is it just the opposite of capitalism? Is atheism an integral part of communism?

Well, to me communism is neither of those listed above. Its just a feeling like love, hate and desire. And more importantly, communism is in no way related to atheism. I strongly believe its possible for a core communist to have immense belief in God. In fact, when people realize there is a Super power above us, they are automatically overwhelmed by their feeling of humbleness and would treat the fellow beings on par with them, which I think is the essence of communism. There are many true communists in this country who are equally conscious of the presence of the Almighty. All religions preach people only to treat everybody as their own. But I wonder where the concept of atheism being an integral part of communism came into existence. Probably because the first breed of communist leaders were atheist. And people, greatly influenced by their principles, could have actually seen it to be a part of communism and could have accepted it. But then. What everybody does in the name of communism is only its diluted version with core values sacrificed and replaced by corruption.

Right

The word 'right' has now got a whole new connotation. Previously, it meant 'correct' or just the direction apart from the huge paras listed in dictionaries. Now, this word is more increasingly used to convert statements into questions. A full fledged statement, suffixed with 'right' is being increasingly believed and portrayed as a question asked. People have started using that to such an effect that there is no awareness on 'isn’t it' type clauses.

The source from which they pick up these should be someone with a decent command over the language who must have used it to camouflage the blunder. This, with frequent usage should have made life easy for people who have picked up these things to put a question to others.....

Back after a long hiatus.

I don't know why i didn't write. Its not that i had nothing to write but i didn't feel like writing one. I have also decided not to make this blog a dedicated one to politics which I actually wanted it to be. I just hope I continue to write with more consistency and frequency.
