A look into the registration procedure of Kamal’s MNM Party

March 15, 2018March 20, 2018 admin

The recent controversy of the claim of Kamal Hassan’s party MNM that Tamil Nadu BJP President Smt. Tamilisai Soundararajan enrolling has brought to the fore the enrollment procedures adopted by this party. The party enrolls members on a dubious procedure whereby you can be enrolled by anyone who knows your email id, only if the enrolling person has a mobile phone. This means if you have any VVIP’s official or personal email id, which is very easy to get, you can easily enroll him or her as a member of…

Dynastic hijacking in Indian party politics

March 11, 2018March 11, 2018 admin

In a nation tagged as the world’s largest democracy, Indian politics has been a very dynamic one. An important facet of Indian politics that is now taking predominance is dynastic dominance. Parties are increasingly resorting to dynastic politics. As debates continue on how to end it, given its inherent and proven harm, an invasive form of dynastic politics has been unnoticed. The act of dynastic hijack in Indian politics has been seemingly less identified. Therefore dynastic parties are of two kinds; one that was originated by a leader and kept…

Living will and Euthanasia – Your life in your hands

March 9, 2018March 9, 2018 admin

The term ‘euthanasia’ is formed from the Greek terms ‘eu’ and ‘thanatos’ which mean ‘good’ and ‘death’ respectively. The term has several meanings just like most other terms in our language; however the implications here are immense. Euthanasia generally has no commonly accepted and a philosophically grounded core meaning. There are several forms of euthanasia like active and passive euthanasia, voluntary, non-voluntary and involuntary euthanasia. Active euthanasia occurs when a person plays an active role by directly causing the patient’s death, like giving excessive amount of painkillers. On the other…

Much Ado About Nothing – The IIT students’ song

March 2, 2018March 2, 2018 admin

A recent function at IIT Madras was at the center of a controversy as to the singing of a Sanskrit, religious song. There was a huge noise and cry, although it wasn’t clear against what the outcry was. Was it the language, was it the religion, or was it a case of missing anthem? There were too many voices and many divergent views. It is very sad that a prayer by students has been seen confronting and unbearable. More than the case at hand, the incident brought to the fore…

The changing Landscape of International Relations

February 20, 2018 admin

Are the days of holistic bilateral relationships among nations less observed today than ever before? Are the terms, ‘Friendly nation’ and ‘Hostile nation’ being less evident today? The tough compulsions facing nations today make it extremely difficult to pursue a holistic approach with each other. The world is changing at a rapid pace, in an already shrinking world. It is confronting not just changes in social, political, economic domains, but also a creeping of new factors within these domains or across domains, which demand focus and action by individual nations.…

February 12, 2018February 13, 2018 admin

To understand the application of spirituality in politics, we need to first understand spirituality in the first place. The Oxford dictionary defines spirituality in many ways.

TN’s bus crisis, where does this road lead?

January 31, 2018February 3, 2018 admin

The crisis in the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) is far from over despite the partial roll-back of fares. Unlike the fare raise of 2011, this increase is seeing uncompromising protests from public, because people now see the loss as a result of large scale, unabated corruption. With the protestors unwilling to compromise, the government has to cautiously chalk its path from here. Protestors call for a complete roll-back and although the government has partially reduced the hike , the truth remains that even if the government was allowed…
