prasad,

No one is questioning anyone's right to criticize Raja. It is just that as much as you have the right to criticize Raja, others have the right to defend him. We are not trying to deifying him but we are trying to prove what you said, that he is as much a human being as us and not a monster that some folks are slyly trying to make of him.

And no, we are not doing sappakkattu. Raja is like that only. We accept it as it is and live with it. But you have others standards and don't accept his 'behavior'. You want him to conform to your norms and he is not going to do that. And that will give you a pedestal to stand on and pontificate about public behavior. I guess that will keep everyone happy. Raja will do what he wants and he is happy. Because he does what he wants, he provides you with fodder to criticize him and you are happy. So in a way it is a win-win situation for Raja and his detractors

And for God's sake let us not get ARR in here and make this messier please. Let us leave him out and concentrate only on Raja. Thanks for the understanding.
