The disappearance of W.R. Varadarajan, a Marxist leader, has come as a shock to many in Tamil Nadu. Many disturtbing questions remain unanswered. Was there a witch=hunt against him in the party he belongs (belonged?) to.

Annadurai Centenary

Former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK founder C.N. Annadurai's birth centenary was celebrated recently by his successor M. Karunanidhi, present Chief Minister. On the sides of the roads leading to the venue Annadurai's potraits were buried amidst hoardings of Karuananidhi and his son, Deputy Chief Minister M.K. Stalin. Is this the way to remember a man who is responsible for the DMK attaining power within two decades of its formation?
