Thirumaran,
Thanks for the article. :)
I am in tears! :cry:
I bought the "Karnan" CD few weeks before...
His majestic voice, commanding presence and as a abandoned child... wow.. great performance :clap:
TM,
ur article moved me to tears.
Lion he was !!!!Quote:
S S Rajendran was trying to wake him up but he was not supposed to. When he did, you should see the way he threw away the sheet and looked at the camera! It was like a lion getting up from his sleep.
The lion which woke up from his sleep, nearly 50 years ago, never slept after that; he was roaring ever since.
:( How unlucky I am, that I dont know him in persn.

Can you enlighten us on why NT could not succeed in politics ?
Though I was also a part of those days, still I could not get a concrete answer to this ?
Its not the charisma factor which MG had he lacked ? I mean the mass appeal up to the nook and corner of every village ?
I know he was sidelined by Moopanar ( wonder why Moopanaar and Shivaji could not get along well ) and there were some dirty politicians from tamil nadu who always envied NT and never liked him ......
Infact NT had the highest regards from Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi as well...
Its really sad that NT , who was taken in by Perumthalaivar Kamaraj, was always negelected ( except that once he made it to Rajya sabha )
I know, when he floated the party, he had Major Sundarrajan and V.K.R. as support but they also deserted him over a period of time.....
THE WORST PART OF IT.... EVEN NT HIMSELF COULD NOT WIN IN THIRUVAYAARU ( a constituency he meticulously selected after careful analysis )
Moopanaar , for all his political skills and traits , could not get along well with Shivaji ... why ?
true, NT never projected himself like MG in movies ( champion of poor , vallal, koduthu sivandha karam etc ) but he was not a poor man to be neglected so cheaply in the hustings .......
I think his party - Thamizaga munnetra munnani stood in many constituencies and lost all !!
after this bitter experience, NT never went back to politics I understand .......
WHAT PROMPTED HIM TO LAUNCH A PARTY ? WHO WERE THE CULPRITS IN MISLEADING HIM TO DO SUCH AN ACT ?
The Tamil nadu congress also has its eternal internal politics with Kumari anandhan, Thangabalu, Moopanaar, Dindivanam ramamurthy , Maragatham chandrasekhar etc etc....... who were all instrumental in NT getting sidelined....
is the MG's success story , he took as inspiration ?
I know for sure, his family never liked this idea and chided him for having lost the elections besides losing hard earned money.....
I also wish to know one more thing..... Did NT spoke against MG in any election meetings ( while he was in congress )
I had some known ppl who told me,
"shivaji was too plain and frank at heart and NUANCES, TRICKERY etc which is very much needed in politics was lacking in him. He was too true a man to be into politics" :roll:
TM,That article moved me to tears.WOW!!
This is just a common statement made by many under certain circumstances like.Quote:

That statement is just to favor their favourites.
One digression......
Probably Rajini also realised this harsh fact very late ( but never ) and withdrew himself from launching a political party........
though I was one of those disappointed, I feel his decision was wise ultimately............
However not all politicians were / are bad..... even Annadurai was a decent man ( no intentions to loot public money )but unfortunately he passed away before he could meet with electoral promises he made ....
Rani Annadurai was virtually left uncared by DMK and others . I understand JJ did something to her....
Digression ends......
Exactly TM !!! :thumbsup:Quote:

PS: This does not apply to any one person ... I just reminded myself of this famous anectode when I read TM's post !!! :)

Though I was worried at that time, now when I think abt it, he couldnt have been wiser than withdraw !!! :thumbsup:
