Where are we heading to?

After Sri Kamaraj's fantastic rule, where are we today after 40 years of rule by these Dravidian parties and the caste based reservation system? Recently a temple trustee (a Dravidian) very sadly said to me "3 generations of Tamilnadu have been spoiled by these parties". Let's see....

Govt offices

I went to the LIC office of Adayar branch last year. From the reception hall I just glanced around and I saw portraits of Dr.Ambedhkar and posters of some specific union all through.. everywhere... I tried to locate a single Gandhi photo but believe me, I could not! If some unions want to portray Dr.Ambedhkar, why not do it very well within their union office? why in a common office space where the customers come and go? Later after a few days, when a LIC agent friend of mine called me up for a policy, I told her about what I saw in the Adayar office and asked her to go to the people portraying Dr.Ambedhkars and not come to me.

That's the state of Govt office system of Tamilnadu...

Educational System

I attended the parents-teachers meeting of my son a few months back (he is in 11th State board now). He was with CBSE till 10th std and I switched him over to a State board school for 11th. The Principal of the scholl told very clearly, publicly, in her address to all parents "If you are in CBSE, the quality of teachers is high enough that students can write on their own words in the exams but in State board this is not the case. The quality of the teachers evaluating the papers is so very bad that we don't encourage students to write in their own words. We ask the students to mug up and write in the same words as given in the books. That's why the State board exam system (12th) is slowly going towards objective type questions. For 12th Std Computer Science, 75 marks out of 200 are objective type questions where only some dumb idiots (like computer) are sufficient to valuate the answers". In CBSE, my son never considers English as an exam at all. I hardly seen him studying for English (even for 10th board exam) but in State board, he was struggling like mad for English exams especially in the initial few months.

That's the state of Educational system of Tamilnadu..

Medical field

With all the reservation systems we know the quality of doctors. The state head, Mr.MK, had brought doctors from AIIMS for his treatment in a private hospital. Why not Royapettah Govt hospital? Why not some Govt Doctors who had come through the reservation system? That would have motivated more people to speak for social justice, is it not?

That's the state of the Medical system of Tamilnadu...

Judicial System

There is no need to talk much about this now. The lawyers and the law students conducted themselves to speak for themselves. Now The Law colleges have become political centers of some specific castes. When the whole Tamilnadu excepting a few politicians was silent on Srilankan issue (we had our own issues to fight for like the recession, job insecurity, price rise etc.,) as their internal issue, how come only one sector - the lawyers - jumped up and down? Are our lawyers are so compassionate, so loving, so caring to come in support of the Tamils by heart? The guys who defend terrorists and well known criminals shed tears for Srilankan Tamils! The same guys may even argue for Singalese against Tamils, if there is a chance/ money!

I read that the hero of the event, Mr.Rajinikanth (a lawyer who threw eggs on Swamy in the court hall itself in front of the judge) has so many pending cases against him right from his Law college days - such an elite background. Is there any lawyer/ judge having guts to speak against him? They didn't attend the court for 2 full weeks and Mr MK announced that he will go for hunger strike (he thinks he is a Gandhi - what a disgrace to Gandhi's fastings!) and I don't know what happened to his announcement then.. It was an unprecedented law and order breaking up which the country had never witnessed in its 60 years of independence.

There was a lawyers' rally yesterday in chennai. I have not seen it but I thought they should have brought that hero Mr.Rajinikanth (lawyer) in a decorated chariot for bringing total grace to the lawyers!

The country had seen one Rajiv Gandhi for IT revolution; it had seen one Narasimha Rao and one Manmohan singh for economic reforms but when is the time it sees a man for Legal reforms?

As an urgent requirement, there should be a system wherein
a) for a crime committed by Politician, Judicial and Police personnel the punishment should be double/ triple that of a common man.
b) for the the same crime repeated again (for anybody), the punishment should be double. For the first theft, if it is 1 year, for the second it should be 2 years, for the 3rd, it should be 4 years and so on..
I saw a scene in a movie recently. After doing one murder, one person was luring another person to do another murder by saying "whether you do one murder or 10 murders, it is the same punishment, so let's do this also.."

That's the state of the hopeless judicial system working for us...

Police

I don't have to say anything on this. When was this system good enough to become bad now? It maintains its heritage..

That's the state of the law and order system of Tamilnadu..

Religious

The head of the state, MK, is spitting so much venom against Hindus - the majority people of the country/ state just because there is no vote bank for Hindus but thinks he gets the vote bank of minorities by doing all these. More and more temples are being taken over as if the existing temples are being maintained wonderfully! So many ancient temples are not even open to devotees or see only one kala pooja simply because of the insufficient no of priests whereas the collections from the temples are going to other religions as well. Leave alone the tens of thousands of ancient temples of Tamilnadu, even the 275 Thevara padal petra stlamas and the 108 divya desams are not being renovated/ maintained properly.
M.K.Stalin with family is going and falling at the feet of Saibaba with the full consent of his father but when others of his party put kumkum on their forehead it is a sin, it is being ridiculed!

That's the state of the Religious System of Tamilnadu...


This (back)boneless Govt is taking care of us (the head of the state is having a real backbone problem and undergoing treatment, hope we will be protected properly after his backbone recovery).

Where are we heading to?

இறைவா... உன்னால் மட்டுமே எங்களைக் காப்பாற்ற முடியும் (God.. you only can save us).
