Offtopic: Karmaveerar Kamaraj's birthday
  • Friends,

    I was pleasently surprised to find a group in my neighbourhood distributing Sweet Pongal on the occasion of our former CM Kamaraj's Birthday. :)

    I hope people are able to remember the best contribution of Kamaraj, the noon meal scheme for school children.

  • To add a few ...

    Todays politicians have zero tolerance if somebody criticizes them. Where as
    Mr Kamaraj was not. I have heard that Mr CHO Ramasamy would invite the then
    CM Kamaraj for his play -- Sambavami Yuge Yuge and would pin point at the
    mistakes done by Mr Kamaraj's government. The CM would take it positively
    and would instruct his officers to correct them.

    I not sure how many in our group watched the movie Kamaraj - The King maker.
    I was told all the incidents narrated in the film are true. Its hard to
    believe that there was a CM like this Simple and Straight forward.

    Its unfortunate that we never had another politician of his calibre till
    date.

  • Since we are talking about one of the best Chief Ministers India ever had, I
    am sending this out.

    Read this link http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200904/india-modi for a very
    balanced summation of the phenomenon called Narendra Modi.

    It is a long article by Robert Kaplan, but I found it balanced.... calling a
    spade, a spade, which meant giving Modi credit for his administration.
