As a cultured lady Kushbhu should not disrespect other religion and create enmity between religions. 

Actress Khushbu finds herself in a fresh controversy. This time, her designer sari with images of Hindu Gods seems to have whipped up trouble. She has been accused by Hindu Makkal Katchi for disrespecting Hindu beliefs once again. Members of the party are planning for an agitation if she doesn’t apologize soon.Members of the Hindu Makkal Katchi have to launch an agitation if she doesn't tender an apology soon.

"The sari prominently displayed images of Lord Ram and Lord Krishna, dear to the Hindus, while its border had the images of Sri Hanuman, who was a bachelor.

This is not the first time that she has shown 'wanton disrespect' to Hindu beliefs. With her it has been a habit," HMK president Arjun Sampath said.

He added: "In a society like ours, wedded to religion and steeped in tradition, showing scant regard to religious icons can't be tolerated or brushed aside as personal liberty," he said.

The actress had worn the designer sari for a public function in Hyderabad. And, Khushbu has decided not to react this time. She says, “I am going to ignore the issue this time. They can be jobless; I am not.”she asked, when told about HMK's demand. "I'm not going to answer every Tom, Dick and Harry.

As a cultured lady Kushbhu should not disrespect other religion and create enmity between religions.  Kushbhu must learn to respect all religions and Gods as equal.

We think that Kushbu is doing this for self advertisement.

Namma Superstar Rajini will be entering his 63rd year.

Namma Superstar Rajini will be entering his 63rd year.

To-day 12-12-12 is one of the most significant days of the year. It is Superstar Rajinikanth’s birthday which is extra special as it falls on 12.12.12 — a date that’s being hailed as one of the most auspicious of the century. Namma Superstar will be entering his 63rd year. Rajnikanth today is a phenomenon, a brand and a man of the masses. The transition of the bus conductor to onscreen hero to someone who can even change the game of politics has been slow and steady.

Today, the Superstar (as he is fondly called by the people of his state) can evoke emotions and command respect like no other actor can here. His simplicity, humility and humane nature are what draw the common man to him — and this is exactly what makes other stars respect him and look up to him. Talking about Rajini’s career and his growth, director Suresh Krissna says, “Rajinikanth has phased his career brilliantly. He realized that his popularity had skyrocketed and his market value had shot through the roof after Baasha. Instead of cashing in on that, he asked himself, ‘Can I maintain this level of heroism?’ And, he started cutting down on his films — from four or five films per year in the 80s, he is now doing a film once in three years.

 While other stars continue to act in films regularly, with this strategy, the Superstar has made his fans anticipate his every release.

We would like to wish namma Superstar a very happy and healthy birthday.

Saiva Saints Sambandar, Appar, Sundarar, and Manikkavacakar are specially remembered as the four teachers of the Saiva religion in South India.   They revived and re-established the religious practices, especially the Temple worship, among the common mass and were influential leaders, at a time when Tamil Nadu came to be gripped under the influence of the ascetic missionaries of Jainism  and Buddhism. 

They reclaimed the people and brought them back to the Saiva fold.  The duties of the all mutt heads to teach the people with religious practices according to Saiva or Vaishnava cult.

The pontiffs of 12 mutts in Tamil Nadu are so far doing their religious duties without any contradictions to Saiva sampradhayam except Madurai Aadheenam.  . Any Aadheenam which are in contradiction to the time-honoured custom, convention and established practice of Saivites can be taken over by Government for question. Traditionally, the head of the Mutt, in the evening of his life, will appoint one of the many Thambirans (junior monks attached to the mutt) as his successor by giving him the title ‘Ilaya Sannidhanam’ or ‘Ilavarasu’.“But the Ilvarasu would not get the title as head of the Mutt, so long as the existing head is alive,” It was told by protesters,that this is not being followed in Madurai Aadheenam.

Tamil Nadu Government is having full powers to look into any illegal affairs of any Aadheenams and can bring justice, otherwise they will go under the hands wrong persons.

DLF says Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra was not given properties at discounted rates.

DLF says Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra was not given properties at discounted rates.


A day after India Against Corruption activists, Arvind Kejriwal and Prashant Bhushan, alleged that real estate developer DLF had given properties worth crores to Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law Robert Vadra for a song, DLF on Saturday refuted the charge saying that neither were unsecured loans given to Vadra nor was he given premier properties at heavily discounted rates.

DLF said it had business dealings with Vadra’s companies but denied that this relationship had led to undue gains for the company or that there was any quid pro quo with the Congress-run government of Haryana for land allotment. The response from the realtor, in the form of questions and answers, came even as several ministers, including finance minister P Chidambaram and law minister Salman Khurshid, rubbished the charges on TV networks.

In a statement, DLF said it had given “business advances” of . 65 crore in two tranches to Vadra-owned company, Skylight Hospitality, which it claimed was “standard industry practice”. It denied that this was an unsecured interest-free loan. The first payment of . 50 crore was made in 2008-09 for a 3.5 acre plot in Gurgaon’s Sikohpur village as part of a total consideration of . 58 crore for the plot. Another . 15 crore was paid to Skylight Group for a plot in Faridabad, but the amount was refunded as the deal did not materialize.

On Vadra purchasing an apartment in the Aralias complex in Gurgaon, DLF said he paid . 11.9 crore in September 2008 at the prevailing market price of . 12,000 per sqft. “We may also mention that while Aralias was initially launched at . 1,800 per sqft, Vadra’s purchase at . 12,000 per sqft is among the highest at which the company sold apartments in Aralias. The alleged figure of. 89 lakh as total purchase consideration is completely incorrect.”

Reacting to allegations of corruption, Robert Vadra on Saturday reassured his well-wishers on Facebook: “Thanks for the concern; I can handle all the negativity. I have lost people I loved…what can be worse than that.” The reply was the first from Gandhi family’s son-in-law since Friday when activists Prashant Bhushan and Arvind Kejriwal accused him of acquiring properties currently valued at 500 crore from DLF. Finance minister P Chidambaram dismissed the demand for an inquiry into Vadra’s assets. Congress spokesman Manish Tewari dubbed the allegations as a “concert between BJP and its B-team headed by Kejriwal”.

As a Union Minister S.M Krishna to be neutral for all the states in redressing their grievance.

As a Union Minister S.M Krishna to be neutral for all the states in redressing their grievance.

External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna has appealed to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to stop further release of water to Tamil Nadu and to seek a report from the team that has been deputed to assess the water situation.“I would kindly urge upon you to explore the possibilities of stopping further release of water from dams in Karnataka and also call for an interim report of the team of experts,” Krishna, now on an official visit to the US, said in a letter to Singh, a copy of which was released here.Krishna hails from Cauvery basin district of Mandya, the epicenter of the stir.

The Minister said that the situation was grim in Cauvery irrigation areas and also in Bangalore following depleted water level in dams after the release of water, as per the September 19 directive of the Cauvery River Authority, headed by Singh, and upheld by the Supreme Court recently.“I sincerely feel that the situation needs your immediate attention, if it is to be prevented from worsening, as there is already a strong feeling among people of Karnataka that they may have to face severe shortage of water in the months to come,” Krishna said.

Krishna also pointed out that the monsoon was over in Karnataka while the North-East monsoon would commence in Tamil Nadu and has the prospects of adequate rains.The Karnataka Government began releasing 9,000 cusecs after the Supreme Court asked it to abide by the CRA directive, till October 15.

As a Union Minister S.M Krishna to be neutral for all the states in India. Without analyzing the position of Tamil Nadu farmers who are suffering without water even for beginning their work in paddy fields, he should not have written to P.M. for stopping further release of cauvery water.

IAS officer in UP was suspended by C.M. Akilesh Yadhav for attempting to rape a young Girl in Train.

IAS officer in UP was suspended by C.M. Akilesh Yadhav for attempting to rape a young Girl in Train. 

An IAS officer was arrested at Charbagh railway station here on Monday for allegedly attempting to rape and intimidate a young IT professional in the AC II compartment of Delhi-Lucknow Mail on Sunday night. The UP government immediately suspended the officer, Shashi Bhusan Lal Susheel, who is posted as special secretary (technical education). A railway magistrate later sent him to jail under judicial remand for 14 days.

Given the high-profile status of the accused, the government railway police (GRP) officials at Charbagh reportedly tried to get the two parties to reach a compromise. Even after inspector general (Railways) Ashutosh Pandey instructed the GRP officials to lodge a case, they didn't do so for about four hours. But, after the victim and her family refused to withdraw their complaint, they finally registered a case against Susheel for bailable offences under Sections 294 (eve teasing) and 354 (molestation).

However, sources say that when chief minister Akhilesh Yadav came to know about incident while he was addressing a rally in Hardoi, he intervened in the matter himself ordering Susheel's immediate suspension. To send out a strong message that the government would not, under any circumstance, allow such acts to prevail, the chief minister is also known to have instructed senior officials to take "all necessary punitive action" against the officer, including sending him to jail for his offence.

It was then that additional director general (railways), Gurdarshan Singh, instructed the GRP men to include sections 376 read with 511 (rape and attempt to commit offences punishable with imprisonment for life) of the IPC against the accused. Taking a serious note of the police's attempts to water down the intensity of crime, the ADG also transferred the inspector in-charge of GRP Charbagh, Anil Rai, to Gorakhpur with immediate effect. Inspector Girija Shanker Tripathi was posted in his place.

According to reports, the girl and her mother boarded the train at New Delhi and were occupying berth numbers 13 and 14 in AC II coach. Shashi Bhushan entered the coach at Ghaziabad and was on the lower berth (number 15) right opposite them. In her FIR, the girl alleged that after the train left Ghaziabad, the officer tried to start a conversation with her mother. "He kept on looking at me and that left me extremely uncomfortable," the victim said. It was around day break, when the girl was asleep and her mother had gone to toilet, she suddenly woke up to find the IAS officer allegedly trying to outrage her modesty.

She raised an alarm and after her mother returned, they informed the guard on duty. Soon, other passengers of the coach also gathered there. When the victim's mother confronted him, the officer allegedly tried to throw his weight around claiming he was an IAS officer. After a heated exchange, when the victim's mother threatened to call the police the officer begged for forgiveness. However, when the guard arrived on the scene, the officer denied having committed anything wrong and dismissed the allegations as baseless. The guard then left the scene to seek help of the Railway Protection Force jawans to ensure that he did not escape. By the time the guard could return with the RPF jawans, the officer disappeared. On the basis of the description provided by the victim and her mother the guard and the RPF jawans launched a manhunt and traced him sitting in the AC I coach. He was handed over to the GRP Charbagh once the train arrived at Lucknow at around 7am.

Despite the victim adamant on initiating police action against the accused, the GRP personnel tried to hush up the case. They allegedly didn't listen to even their IG initially. It was only when the chief minister intervened that the case of attempt to rape was filed. Thereafter, the officer was produced before the railway magistrate, who sent him to jail under judicial remand for 14 days.

Action taken by U.P. Chief Minister Akilesh Yadhav will ever be appreciated by all the people of India. An I.A.S. officer who is in the highest position of safeguarding people’s welfare should not behave like a criminal.

The birth live film shoot of Shwetha Menon ended with a gentle kiss on the baby’s forehead.

The birth live film shoot of Shwetha Menon ended with a gentle kiss on the baby’s forehead.

When you see Actress Shwetha Menon in pain during childbirth in her next film, don’t be surprised if her performance seems unusually realistic. Thanks to Malayalam film director Blessy, who wanted to capture the birth live on camera, Menon was filmed by three cameras while giving birth in a suburban Mumbai Hospital.

Menon, an actor and former Miss-India second runner-up in 1994, delivered a girl child in the maternity ward of Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai in front of three cameras on Thursday 27-9-2012.

According to Times of India report, the director had planned the shoot with three cameras on Thursday. The shoot lasted for about 45 minutes and it ended with the actress planting a gentle kiss on the baby’s forehead.

The pregnancy, delivery and the early years of motherhood are to be the crux of Blessy’s upcoming movie Kalimannu. The shoot began when she was five months pregnant. In an age when pregnancy and motherhood is sometimes mechanical, the movie talks about a mother’s relationship with her fetus.

During the shoot, there were 3 members from the film crew present in the room including cinemtographer Jiby Jacob, Shwetha’s husband, Srivalsan Menon was also present during the delivery, which was a natural delivery.

The director and his team reportedly had to do prepare for a week to perfect shooting in the labour room. Both the mother and child were in good health, with the film crew reportedly taking all precautions to ensure they didn’t get in the way.

Our best wishes to the Mother and Child. 

Money alone cannot attract a poor boy to marry a lesbian girl if she continues lesbian life.

Money alone cannot attract a poor boy to marry a lesbian girl if she continues lesbian life.

A Hong Kong tycoon is offering $65 million for any man who manages to woo his lesbian daughter into marriage. Property magnate Cecil Chao Sze-tsung said he is even ready to accept a poor son-inlaw for his 33-year-old daughter Gigi Chao. “I don’t mind whether he is rich or poor. The important thing is that he is generous and kind-hearted,” the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post quoted Chao as saying. Gigi’s father, the 76-yearold owner of Cheuk Nang (Holdings) Ltd, rejected suggestions that his daughter is a lesbian, and described reports she had gotten hitched as “false,” the SCMP said.

The reports said she had married Sean Eav, her girlfriend of seven years, in France on April 4. A photograph on her Facebook page shows her in Paris with another female, possibly her partner, last April. Below the picture, she commented at that time: “Going to Paris to buy a few businesses”.

“Gigi is a very good woman with both talents and looks. She is devoted to her parents, is generous and does volunteer work,” the tycoon father told SCMP about her daughter, who is a graduate from the University of Manchester. Chao said he would not force his daughter to marry a man against her will. Comments posted by readers in the newspaper website suggested hostile reaction with some advising Chao not to force his daughter to give up her lesbian life.

We cannot able to explain what lesbian love is. The lesbian lovers can only explain whether they can spend their whole life, with lesbian lovers or they can leave it and marry in other sex.

Demolishing the Old Anna Arch and constructing new one is the best solution.

Demolishing the Old Anna Arch and constructing new one is the best solution.

பழைய அண்ணா வளைவை இடித்துவிட்டு. புதிய வளைவை கட்டினால், அரசுக்கு

கோடிக்கணக்கான பணமும் மிச்சமாகும் , புதிய வளைவும் பொலிவுடனும், வலிவுடனும் அமையும்  என பொதுமக்கள் நினைக்கிறார்கள்.  

Restoration of Anna Arch, which escaped demolition after withstanding electric saws and diamond cutters for three days early this month, started on 26-9-2012 Wednesday after chief minister J Jayalalithaa visited the site. Earlier this month, a contractor had been employed to bring down the structure to make way for a Rs. 117-crore flyover-subway project to ease traffic congestion. On the third day of work, the CM ordered that the demolition be stopped and the flyover-subway plan altered. So, there stood the arch, precariously, held by a crane.  Sources said the crane cost the department, Rupees 4 lakh a day by way of rent. “With this cost in mind, the budget for the demolition was 8 lakh as we thought it would be over in two days,” said a highways official. The crane has been in use for 23 days now, the rent adding up to 92 lakh. While the restoration work will take four months, the crane has to be there for at least 10 more days, which means an additional 40 lakh.

On Wednesday, engineers brought two temporary stilts to support the arch, now being held in place by the crane after concrete cutters gnawed at its base. There were traffic snarls in the locality, as a posse of police personnel was deployed near the arch for the chief minister’s visit. In The CM interacted with engineers at the site.

Anna Arch was built in 1985 to commemorate the 75th birth anniversary of former chief minister C Annadurai. The arch was to be removed to make way for a 117-crore of two L-shaped flyovers and a subway, but the decision was stayed by the CM in view of its association with two chief ministers from the past. Now the change in design to accommodate the arch is expected to delay the completion of the project. “The department will take six months to come up with a new design,” said a senior highways official. With the highways secretary replaced around 15 days ago, sources said there would be further delay. Please see the pictures of Anna Arch.

General opinion of the people is if a new Arch is constructed by demolishing the old arch, more money and time will be saved and the new arch will also stand with more strong and beautiful.  

Model-Actor Aritri, who was among the Miss India Top 22 in 2006, was molested at her Home.

Model-Actor Aritri, who was among the Miss India Top 22 in 2006, was molested at her Home.

Model-actor Aritri Bhattacharya and her mother were beaten up and molested in their home in the presence of a politician and realtors in Chandernagore on September 20. Aritri says the attacker stripped her and tried to rape her in front of the gawking crowd but she managed to fight him off. Police ignored her complaint, although the victims had bleeding injuries. Chandernagore OC Sukhomoy Chakraborty was allegedly reluctant to file an FIR and kept asking Aritri to settle it "mutually".

Police arrested the accused only on September 24 but filed mild charges, allowing him to walk free within hours. Now, the accused are threatening an acid attack on her, says the actor. Aritri, who was among the Miss India Top 22 in 2006, is a familiar face in TV commercials and serials. Three years ago, her family bought a ground-floor flat in Chandernagore where she stays with her parents and husband Mrinmoy.

The developers of her apartment, Sumit Sur and Ashis Mukherjee, live in the same complex and have an office on the ground floor, next to Aritri's bedroom. "Every day, the developers and local toughs gather in the office room and create a nuisance," said Jyoti, Aritri's mother. On the night of September 20, Sur's driver SK Nishad was loitering in front of her flat in a drunken state, she says. "Our main door was open and he was using filthy language over phone. We felt bad and bolted the door," said Jyoti. Nishad was furious and started throwing the actor's garments that were hung out to dry on the narrow passage that leads to the office room, the family says. When Aritri tried to stop him, Nishad pounced on her, she says. "He hit me with a stick and groped me.

He tore my T-shirt and pyjamas," says Aritri. Her mother rushed out to save her but she was also beaten up. "Mukherjee and Sur were there. As were a flock of local politicians. They all stood there and watched Nishad beat us up and molest my daughter," says Jyoti. The mother and daughter rushed to Chandernagore police station but failed to convince them to register a case.

"The next evening, we met the OC, who advised us for a mutual settlement," says Jyoti. On September 22, just when the family was about to contact superior officers, police registered a case against Nishad under bailable sections of the IPC. According to police records, Nishad was arrested at 4.40am on September 24 and got bail within hours. "Since then Mukherjee, Sur and their aides have been threatening to throw acid bulbs on my daughter. They dropped a senior police officer's name and said they would frame Aritri in a theft case. We are so scared that we have decided to move out from Chandernagore," Jyoti says. The OC claimed that he had taken "adequate steps according to the nature of the complaint".

But he could not explain why the accused was not slapped with graver charges when his investigating officer found that Aritri's clothes had been ripped off. The Chander-Nagore Police officials must take strigent action against the culprits and they should not fail from their duty insafe guarding the innocent pople.

மனித இதயமற்ற கடாபி மறைந்து விட்டாலும் அவனால் கெடுக்கப்பட்ட பெண்களுக்கு மறு வாழ்வு கிடைக்குமா என்பது தெரியவில்லை.

That’s what you call me, isn’t it? But I’m also your brother and your lover. I’m going to be all that for you. Because you are going to stay and live with me forever’,” Soraya revealed according to the book Les Proies: Dans le harem de Kadhafi (Prey: In Gaddafi’s Harem). According to the paper, Gaddafi repeatedly raped, beat and urinated on the teenager during her five years in captivity.

Sometimes other girls would join them. When another girl performed oral sex on Gaddafi he would tell Soraya to ‘Watch and learn’, the report said. One girl describes how she was forced to wear lacy underwear and watch porn films, and added that Gaddafi had ‘needed’ several girls every day.
According to the paper, the book also revealed how Gaddafi’s sex slave victims are still suffering after being rejected by their families for having sex when they were not married. Even though heartless Gadaffi has died, the present Libya government must take up the welfare of the women spoiled by Gadaffi.

At Tiruchendur Skanda Sashti is celebrated with a unique ritual called Soorasamharam.

At Tiruchendur Skanda Sashti is celebrated with a unique ritual called Soorasamharam.

Tiruchendur also known as Thiru-Cheer-Alaivai. It is famous as the second of the Arupadai Veedugal or Six Abodes of Lord Muruga. The magnificient temple over the course of nearly 1,000 years has grown from its original modest structure through many additions made by Pandya and Chera kings, and various benefactors.

'Tiruchendur' means a sacred and prosperous town of victory. Notably, the Gopuram or the temple tower is on the West instead of the East as is traditional due to the sea.  The massive structure is nine storey high and stands at 137 feet. The Gopuram was constructed roughly 300 years ago. The sculpture on the Gopuram chronicles interesting events. For instance, there are scenes from the life of Manikkavachakar. In the ninth storey, a huge bell was fixed by one Mr. Eden, probably the Collector of Tirunelveli from 1832 to 1839. The ringing of the bell indicated the hours of the day.

The bell is now not in use because the mechanism is in disrepair. In the 17th century AD, Tiruchendur temple was occupied by the Dutch for few years and they even looted some of the idols in the temple. Legend has it that the Arumuga Peruman idol was carried away in their ship. There was a sudden storm and the Dutch grew afraid and threw the idol into the sea. Vadamalaiyappa Pillai, an ardent devotee of Lord Muruga saw a vision of the idol's position in his dream. Immediately, he and several other devotees rushed to the spot where as foretold in the dream a lemon was floating and Garuda was flying over the spot.

They dove into the sea and recovered the statue. The temple was originally constructed on the sandstone reefs of the beach, but due to corrosion by the sea the structure began to disintegrate. In early 1900s a sannyasin, Mouna Swami took up the renovation work. This was followed by others over a course of 72 years and the three pragarams were constructed anew in black granite stone. Festivals.Thaipusam Festival, Vaikasi Visagam (May - June), Avani festival (August � September), Skanda Sasti Festival - 7 days (October - November) and Masi festival - 12 days (February - March) are the important festival celebrated at Thiruchendur Murugan Temple. Of these, Skanda Sashti is celebrated in a large scale with a unique ritual called Soorasamharam.

Shahanaaz says that she has married only four men not more.

Shahanaaz says that she has married only four men not more.

A police team from the city arrested Shahanaz, who was on the run after 'marrying' several men and cheating them of lakhs of rupees in cash and jewellery, in Bangalore. Police officers arrested 25-year-old Shahanaz Ismail, who is five months pregnant, on a tip-off. Investigators said one of Shahanaz's friends in Hosur, where she had taken refuge after absconding from Chennai, helped police make the arrest.

Police brought her to Chennai by car on Sunday. Police said Shahanaz, from Pathanamthitta district in Kerala, cheated at least seven men in Chennai. She unofficially married four of her victims before deserting them with their cash and valuables. A district-level football player from Pulianthope and a car showroom employee from Mugalivakkam, whom Shahanaz had cheated of a total of Rs 3 lakh, lodged a police complaint against her on August 22.

An investigating officer said Shahanaz gave the victims visiting cards on which she claimed to be a graduate of law, and took money from them on the pretext of preparing for the civil service examinations. Shahanaz told police during interrogation that she had only completed Plus-2 in Kerala. She said her mother had deserted her after her father died 10 years ago. "She married Siddique when she was in Class 10 in Kerala," the officer said. "She left Siddique, with whom she had a child, and got a job in a textile showroom.

But she wasn't making enough money so she came to Chennai in 2005." He said Shahanaz worked at a store and stayed in a rented house in Medavakkam. She married an art director, Rahul, from Trichy in 2007 and deserted him after six months. "Shahanaz got a job in a supermarket shortly after leaving Rahul and convinced the owner, Shamsuddin, to give her a loan of Rs 1.85 lakh," the officer said. "She claimed that she needed the money to buy a house and vanished as soon as he gave her the money." By this time she had married Prasanna, a football player who lived in Pulianthope. "Shamusuddin informed Prasanna that his wife was having affairs with several men," the officer said. "

He showed him photographs of Shahanaz with other men." When Prasanna questioned her, she said Shamusuddin was a pervert. She got a job in a BPO firm in Taramani in 2009 and this helped her get the telephone numbers of several young men. "Among the seven men Shahanaz cheated, she unofficially married Siddique, Rahul, Manikandan of Porur and Prasanna of Pulianthope. She also cheated Saravanan of Adyar, Raju of T Nagar and Saravanan of Thiruvottiyur. Manikandan and Prasanna filed a police case against her. A police team from Chennai arrested Shahanaz after her friend Priya gave investigators her number.

 Police arrested her at Kempegowda (Majestic) Bus Terminal when she arrived by bus from Hosur. Shahanaz told to her friends that she has married only four people and not more. A Girl means she has to marry only one man as her life partner.

தன்மானமுள்ள எந்தத் தமிழனும் சிங்களவன் தமிழகத்தில் நுழைவதை அனுமதிக்க மாட்டான்.

A pilgrimage to Velankanni and Poondi Matha basilicas in central Tamil Nadu turned out to be a nightmare for a group of Sri Lankan nationals. With cadres of pro-Eelam groups mobbing them at both shrines and along the route, the 184 pilgrims cut short their visit and left India by a special flight on Tuesday night. Even their departure was laced with drama and tension after protesters attacked them enroute to Trichy airport on 4-9-2012Tuesday.

The police escort provided to their seven vehicles ensured that none of them was injured, but at least one bus was damaged. “All of them were made to stay at the Cargo terminal of Trichy airport till the flight arrived. They were provided food and other facilities,” said Shailesh Kumar Yadav, Trichy city police commissioner. The group arrived at the Trichy airport from Colombo on Sunday evening and drove down to the Poondi Matha basilica in Thanjavur. They had planned to visit the shrine before leaving for Velankanni near Nagappatinam, where the annual festival at the Velankanni Matha basilica that attracts the faithful from all over the world, got underway last week.

However, trouble waited for them at the basilica in form of a 100-member strong mob who demanded that they return to Sri Lanka immediately. However, the protesters dispersed after the police intervened and assured them that the pilgrims would leave the basilica on Tuesday morning. The pilgrim party left Poondi for Velankanni at 2am on Tuesday in seven vehicles with police escort.

Though they were allowed to pray at the shrine, protesters shadowed them everywhere. Anticipating trouble, police stepped up security and made arrangements to escort them to Trichy airport. “They were sent to Trichy airport and a police team escorted them,” told by G Ramar, superintendent of police, Nagappattinam.

PRP Granite Scam.

PRP Granite Scam.

 P R Palanisamy, the owner of PRP Exports, one of the

largest firms, and Panneer Mohamed, the owner of Madura Granites, have been arrested in connection with the granite scam

The bail plea of Dayanidhi Alagiri, Union minister M K Alagiri’s son,and grandson of  former Chief Minister Karunanidhi  will come up for hearing before the Madurai bench of the Madras high court on Tuesday in connection with the multi-crore high-voltage illegal granite mining case.

Dayanidhi Alagiri is one among a dozen people named by the Madurai district police and is wanted in connection with a quarrying case for his admitted association with a suspect mining firm.

While DMK leaders cried foul and pointed out that he ceased to be associated with Olympus Granites in 2010 itself, the police have denied any witch-hunting. They said that the fraud was happening even before 2010.

Given the fact that the anticipatory bail plea of Alagiri’s son is coming up before the court for the first time on September 4, it is unlikely that the courts will pass any interim orders any time soon.

The focus on the crackdown on illegal granite quarrying, that began a month ago has shifted to the role of government officials in the scam. Close on the heels of the arrest of three officials of Tamil Nadu Minerals Limited (TAMIN), another senior official was detained by the police. The official, J Rajaraman, an assistant director of department of mines, was interrogated by the police sleuths for alleged connivance with the granite mafia. “There are two aspects in our probe. One is the connivance of the officials and the other the amassment of wealth through illegal means,” said a police officer. Meanwhile, the directorate of vigilance and anti-corruption (DVAC) sleuths conducted a raid in the premises of TAMIN office in Madurai.

The special investigation cell of the DVAC stepped into the ongoing action against illegal mining on Tuesday last. A team of DVAC officials visited Madurai and discussed about the scam with collector Anshul Mishra. They also visited the quarries before plunging into action. The district collectorate premises witnessed a flurry of activity on Sunday as a team of officials raided the office of the department of mines. The sleuths scrutinised the documents pertaining to quarrying licence and also seized some documents. More senior bureaucrats are like to face the heat if the arrested TAMIN officials spill the beans.

Let us wait and see who are all involved in this granite scam.

We must appreciate Pranav Prakash nudity paintings and should not find fault with him.

We must appreciate Pranav Prakash nudity paintings and should not find fault with him. 

இந்திய திருக்கோயில்களில் சிற்பிகளால் வடிவமைக்கப்பட்டுள்ள நிர்வாண வடிவமுள்ள சிற்பங்களையும் பார்க்கிறோம். அவற்றைப் பார்த்து சிற்பியின் திறமையை பாராட்ட வேண்டுமே தவிர குறை கூறக்கூடாது. 

Delhi-based artist Pranava Prakash has always been in the news for painting celebrities in the nude. Earlier this year, he was assaulted during his exhibition of nude paintings of Veena Malik, Poonam Pandey, etc. He says that nudity should be viewed as a celebration of the human anatomy and not as something sordid.

  

Criticism mostly comes from people with double standards. These women are proud of their body and are using it to influence their career graph. My paintings too stand for an idea. When I painted Arundhati Roy in the nude, it was a symbol for an idea and should be viewed as that,” Pranava says.

Nudity’s association with art is age-old. Art schools have always had models posing in the nude. “There are two ways to see nudity — one with an angle of commodification of the body; the other as a part of art,” Pranava says. The naked human form can sensationalise and attract attention. “But nobody sane should look down or frown upon it,” says film producer Rangita Pritish Nandy. “Nudity is a shout-out to the world that you’re happy, proud, fearless and (hopefully) beautiful! Like everything else that we tear into, let’s not over-think or over-analyse it,” she adds.

In fact, with easy accessibility, courtesy the digital world, the forbidden fruit syndrome has ebbed, says filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. “But in our country, we’ve gone from an age of repression to an age of obsession. Yes, everybody is using the human anatomy to shock and titillate but I belong to a profession where I wouldn’t think that you are depraved if you do so,” he says. Take nudity for what it is — “I wouldn’t hide behind ‘art’ or justify generous use of sexual imagery,” he adds.

It all depends on perception, culture and cultivated tastes. The more aesthetically shot or painted, the more accepted nudity is. Dabboo says, “Poses and expressions are very important. One shouldn’t try too hard. The more comfortable you are with your body, the more aesthetic you will look in the natural form. If you do it by force, for money, for publicity, it will look vulgar and pornographic. But if it’s for the love of art or photography, you will realise that the result is beautiful.” Dabboo recalls the late Prabuddha Dasgupta’s artistic expression of nudes. “I loved his shots, especially the black and whites,” Dabboo says.

  

To strip or promote the idea of nudity is an individual choice, says Pranava. “Nudity grabs eye balls, attention and is a fabulous conversation starter (or concluder, if you’re lucky). And really, at the end of every promise/threat to strip is a personal choice to do so,” adds Rangita. Would she go naked? For the right reasons. Or maybe just for fun. And if I were in Vegas, absolutely, yes! But nobody other than me has the right to judge that decision,” she says.

In Temples in India we are seeing much life like nudity sculptures and paintings carved by sculptor and Artist.We must appreciate only their talent and should not find fault with them.

இந்தியாவில் முஸ்லிம்கள் சர்வ சுதந்திரத்துடன் வாழ இந்திய அரசு அவர்களுக்கு சலுகைகள் பலவற்றை அளித்து பாகிஸ்தானை விட இந்தியாவில் வாழும் முஸ்லீம்கள் கௌரவத்துடன் நடத்தப்படுகிறார்கள்.

அப்படி முஸ்லீம்களுக்கு ஏராளமான சலுகைகள் வழங்கப்பட்டிருக்கும் நிலையில் அவர்கள் இந்திய நாட்டிற்கு துரோகம் நினைப்பதை எவரால் ஏற்றுக்கொள்ள முடியும்.  

Muslims in India are given more International freedom and the Indian Government giving more benefits and respect to Muslims living in India than in Pakistan. Even though a number of benefits provided to them they’re betraying the country which nobody can accept. Please read the story of  11 terrorists arrested by Karnataka Police.

The 11 persons arrested on terrorism charges in Bangalore made calls on the internet to contact the kingpins of a plot to kill high-profile individuals in Karnataka. Skype was their favoured mode of communication.

Most of these men, including an engineer with DRDO and a journalist, are highly educated. They used internet telephony to keep their communications with their Saudi Arabia-based kingpins a secret, and to cut costs.    “We have seized laptops and accessed the calls made by the suspects. The calls have been traced to Saudi Arabia,” deputy chief minister R Ashoka, who is in charge of the home department, told TOI. “More than 100 terrorism-related SMSs and emails have been accessed.’’ The state government has asked Interpol to probe the conversations and share its inputs with India. The suspects also made video calls on smartphones and laptops.

Cyber experts say VoIP’s biggest advantage over standard telephone systems is its low cost. Internet calls to Saudi Arabia are cost-effective and difficult to trace. Police have claimed the arrested men had plans to assassinate Dharwad MP Prahlad Joshi, MLC and newspaper baron Vijay Sankeshwar and journalists Vishveshwar Bhat and Prathap Simha. Six of them were arrested in Bangalore on Wednesday and the others in Hubli. Ashoka said: “The home department is writing to the ministry of home affairs (MHA) asking for its inputs on the flow of money to these operatives. Even Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde has sought details. These people would not have gained strength without proper training.

We suspect a couple of them trained in Saudi Arabia. One of the arrested men posed as a Hindu to get a job.’’ Sources in the home department said Intelligence Bureau sleuths are camping in Bangalore since Thursday.

Why the Muslims in India are not willing to accept themselves as Indian citizen and brethren of Indian people.
