Mr. Venkatesh, Why is sauce for the goose of the Indian Economy not sauce for the gander of Indian political dynasts?
Good book review by Mr Annamalai , BJP chief. Watch the video. And read the press review too below. It strikes me however as rather supremely ironic that Mr. Annamalai is so passionate in his belief that it will be only the “Family as the fulcrum” of traditional values and ethics, which in the decadesContinue reading “Mr. Venkatesh, Why is sauce for the goose of the Indian Economy not sauce for the gander of Indian political dynasts?”

MOLLY-CODDLING IS ENTITLEMENT FOR BOLLYWOOD BRATS ?

So outraged is Sri TMK that he has with, trueContinue reading “Sri TM Krishna needs to do lot more than merely tweet about poorly remunerated private tutors of Carnatic music”
