The customary governor’s address to the state legislative assembly at the beginning of a new year-session has turned out to be an exercise in futility and reduced to a farce. A colonial legacy, it could as well be converted into a chief minister’s address, since it is prepared by the cabinet and not the governor.

The statement of TN CM Thiru M K Stalin, welcoming the Madras Day celebrations, has come as a rude and painful shock to lovers of Tamil culture, history and followers of the Tamil movement in Chennai and other parts of TN. The statement goes against the traditional stand of the TN govt right from the Congress govts to that of the DMK and even the AIADMK to ignore the Madras Day as they always believed that Chennai and other parts of TN existed from well before Sangam era for over 2000 years

COVID has struck again, taking away one of our brilliant officers. Ragothaman, a brave and fiery officer, deserved police honours at his funeral, but sadly the pandemic protocol would not allow any such grand farewell. Ragothaman was SP and Chief Investigating Officer in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, and handled the case brilliantly, securing a conviction for the accused and revealing the whole conspiracy behind the assassination.
