tamils living in Sri Lanka loved M.G.R. and the same way he did all what he can do for us. He yielded considerable influence in Delhi and the whole of TN was under his control. During the 83 riots in Sri Lanka, we sri lankans still remember the assistance he gave us. He is the only Tamil leader who has done something for the tamil people and their language. Unfortunatley his successor is going against his policy on this matter. Does anyone agree or disgree with me.

  Mr raj,
  
  In response to your post wherein you had stated "YOU dont have to proof how much intelligent type of questions you could raise...first just hope or think of possibilities for your government to take a reasonable and effective decision over the water dispute with malaysia."
  
  Firstly, I don't see the relevance of Singapore-Malaysian Water dispute to MGR's leadership qualities. Perhaps you can enlighten me on this score.
  
  I am only interested in finding the leadership qualities of MGR that many are enamoured with. Exactly what had he achieved? I am neither prejudiced nor biased nor anit-MGR. After all MGR had existed years before I was born and I have no vested in either denigrating or lauding him.
  
  All I am interested is how does he measure up against other leaders, like the Fuhrer, Chairman Mao, Castro, EVR Periyar, Ambedkar etc. On a scale of 1 to 10 what is his rating against, say Mahathir.
  
  What has MGR done to uplift the social and economic status of those below the poverty line or bring order to a chaotic community? These are the yardsticks of evaluating the qualities of a leader. If MGR had indeed succeeded in wiping out the social inequalities or had inspired the masses towards a more eglatarian society, like what your leader Mr Mahathir is doing, then please let me know.
  
  I am ignorant of the reforms or achievements of MGR and I feel that it is the duty of his supporters to tell the world what a wonderful person MGR was all his wonderful achievements.
  
  Why feel shy of providing ignorant people like me of MGR's achievements. I can be richer intellectualy by your information. I can even broadcast to the world whatever morsels you can give.
  
  Raveenraj

  Dr.Raman Pillay:
  Are you the same Dr. Raman Pillay who said that Dravidians are the most intelligent and most handsome?
  One look at Dr.MGR or DR. Senthil will prove to the world that your words about looks are true. Also if you look at the admission list at Anna University, all 106% are dravidians. No eskimoes or belgians can get admitted.

  I agree that Dravidians are very intelligent.
  Formation of Indus vally is the ultimate illustration of this.
  But I dont agree that they are the best looking.
