Present day Hiranyakashyapu .. .


I was reading the newspaper few days back and I came across a rather disgusting news item. The CM of Tamil Nadu Karunanithi has pleaded for the destruction of Ramar paalam (the stone bridge that is believed to have been built by Bhagwan Ram with the help of Architect Nala to cross the ocean), as his 85th birthday gift. Atrocious! What an injustice! The politicians are well known for their corruptness. But this is the limits!!! We dont expect education, integrity, honesty from our CM (we have learnt our lesson over the years) but we also dont expect a CM of a state, to have no senses or consideration to the religious sentiments of millions of Hindus. It can only happen in Tamil Nadu that he can dare to talk of demolition of a sacred structure and can live till date to defend it! He was so concerned about his Kannagi statue being removed from the beach! Will he dare to even chip off a bit of any of the mosques in the town, be it popular or not? Or will he dare to bring down a Church for constructing a project which is better for the society? Well ... we know the answer ...
