The Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls under the Election Commission of India has led to the removal of roughly 6.56 crore names from the draft electoral rolls across 12 states and Union Territories. While the Commission frames this as a technical cleanup—striking off duplicate entries, non‑citizens, and those restored as deceased—the human realityContinue reading “There can’t be a disenfranchised population of 66 million in the world’s largest democracy: What the Supreme Court can do about it.”

Tenkalai and Vadakalai Sri Vaishnavas’ endless legal battle: Can a Phyrric victory for either side erase the “writing on the wall” for both?
Pyrrhic means a victory won at such a devastating cost that it’s almost a defeat. King Pyrrhus of Epirus: his army suffered huge losses winning battles against the Romans, leaving him too weak to continue.

“Whistle podu”: Is Actor Vijay “whistling in the dark” before elections?
https://open.substack.com/pub/narasimhanvijayaraghavan/p/the-symphony-of-the-whistle-a-high?r=22fqhg&utm_medium=ios&shareImageVariant=overlay The Whistle is not really such a great election symbol … in fact, it portends looming inauspiciousness in many of English idioms we know.

The DMK’s Evolution and THE HINDU’s: by Darwinian principle of (un)natural selection of species
Today’s THE HINDU front-page news report above caught me really by great surprise. Reading the above column set me wondering about how the DMK , an avowedly anti-Hindu Party “traditionally associated with atheism and anti-Brahminism”, suddenly decided to elevate Dr. V. Maitreyan, a Tamil Brahmin, who sports his caste-mark and Hindu identity upon his foreheadContinue reading “The DMK’s Evolution and THE HINDU’s: by Darwinian principle of (un)natural selection of species”
