The current CM has now succeeded not only in embezzling crores of public money, and misusing the police force to make political arrests, but also in suppressing the freedom of press. The reason for all of this nonsense is the petty partisan politics of the state. Politicial parties should be arranged towards ideology in running the government not among ethnic lines. All of the "DMKS" AIADMK, DMK, MDMK, etc..should change the DMK to EMK, ellarum (everybody) munnetra ... rather than Dravida Munnetra...Dravidians, Brahmins, Jains, Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, it doesn't matter. The political parties should not be organized to exclusive groups, but rather around varying political ideologies, for example, conservative economic policies vs. socialism, etc. This type of votemongering by appealing to specific members of society actually leads to what jaya is doing now, misusing public resources to make sure that no dissension about her is revealed, so that she can increase her chances of staying in power.

  Nedunche....., idiottam, AJ-taam blah blah, we must understand now, many non-Tamilians have started bombarding forumhub due to the fact that now it is popular among many American Universities and many Northys know about it. It was all done by few guys who informed many northy students and now everyone is bombarding this.
  so be cool. Don't preach to much of Dravidian theory , otherwise we are only going to be looser, We are still backward compared to North Indians so we must remain calm, ofcourse few of us who live outside Tamilnadu are well versed, but we must look back to our home state and uplift those backwards and must talk after seeing reality.
  
  By fighting with every North Indian or Hindiwala is only going to make us harm not them. They are alreay very advanced in foreign countries even after driving truck, because they help people back home, We don't even help a single Tamilian to uplift back home, rather we look down at them.
  
  Just relax and look for solution. only being agressive on such forums doesn't make you practical and doesn't make us forward. Tell me not even a single name have figured in economic decisions of U.S.A. from South India, only gujjus, and other northys take lead. May be from bureacratic front we are little better but that doesn't make you own decision maker. Just be your own help others, help Tamilnadu, don't get into the evil designs of politicians. I have seen many families of Tamil do not have any inclination for Tamilians who live in North India.

  Tamil is oldest or not is not the argument, But the big question is can it survive with handful of backward Tamilians, Can every Tamilian support it . Majority are changing their medium of language due to its demi nature of existence. There is no vocabulary (incomplete), many phonetics are missing. In Korea I have seen Tamilians are looked down due to their mispronounciations of many words due to many consonants missing. pa, fa, ba,dha,tha etc. One can often see a normal Tamilian can never pronounce anything in its real form however simple it is . Simple example is some of my friends in Seoul pronounce Magaraja for maharaja restaurant in Sinchon area.
  
  I know some of Tamilians will even bash me. They would not spare even their Tamil brother if he talks reality. But who cares?
  
  But then world has to see who would be the ultimate looser?
  
  Surely our state is sucking.

  3 students held on eve-teasing charge
  
  By Our Staff Reporter
  
  CHENNAI AUG. 19. The Periamet police today arrested three students of a government college in the city on eve-teasing charges.
  
  The personnel of the Periamet police station said Satyamurthy, Mahalingam and Amudhan were allegedly passing comments on a woman passenger while they were travelling on an MTC bus (No.7C) to Anna Nagar West from Parrys. A youth from Bangalore, who was on a visit to the city, reportedly questioned the behaviour of the students.
  
  The three allegedly assaulted the Bangalore youth and noticing this, the driver of the bus brought the vehicle to a halt near the Periamet police station.
  
  Following a complaint from one of the passengers, police arrested the students under Section 4 of the Tamilnadu Prohibition of Harassment to Woman Act. Further investigations are on.
