gsivak Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 For all the snide comments about the delusions of TN public in voting for these leaders, one must admit that TN is one of the best governed states in India if you go by economic and human development indicators. Maybe the rest of India does not feel all that emotional about their leaders but it doesn't seem to help them make better choices does it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that you have to commend the govt. officials, bureaucrats and people who vote for them. TN in general is quite systematic & efficient. To begin with Jaya was good only in her last term. Don't forget how she abused power the 1st 2 times around. And lot of the populist measures she introduced, verdict is still out how good or bad they are. Assuming they are not removed, we will see how they pan out in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed that the system works well in TN and that the politicians be it DMK or AIADMK didn't contribute much to it. However, in India most political parties end up corrupting the entire system. At least in TN the corruption at the top level didn't cause collapse to the system. Given that we are talking about India where political parties across countries are so bad that they have led to degradation of the political and social system, we must say that TN politicians didn't cause as much damage as the rest. Hardly any praise I know, but my point is don't look down on TN people. They may be emotional but they are super smart when it comes to making the system work for all. Government offices actually work and function well. If they didn't none of these populist leaders would be in power.

So, some politician dies and these guys are entitiled to come on to the streets, block roads, become violent, shut down shops ? What on the bloody earth justifies this behavior other than pure mental retardness. I would say, Election Commission should pass an order saying any disruption and from that district, constituency, AIADMK shall be banned from taking part in elections the next two times. Maybe I should type in English next time. I said I understand. But I don't accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cricketics Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 RIP. Don't really know how she was as I was too young to understand Indian politics and later when I gained any interest, I never really thought much about her, may be because she wasn't the most popular lady covered by the media. I wonder how TN people see her as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeautifulGame Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 RIP Jayalalitha Her first 8 years as CM were horrific but last 8 years she did a good job .Though it's hard to look past her first half of her career , her legacy will probably be defined by her last 8 years. Hopefully this brings some sort of inter party democracy in Admk but doubt it. Vilander and G_B_ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeautifulGame Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Jayalalitha was born on 24 February 1948, at Melukote, in Pandavapura taluka, Mandya district, then in Mysore State (now Karnataka) to Jayaram and Vedavalli in a Tamil Iyengar Brahmin family. *Jayalalitha was given her grandmother's name Koamalavalli at the time of birth.* As per Brahmin custom, 2 names are given - one ancestral grandmother name and other being personal name. The personal name Jayalalitha was adopted at the age of 1 for the purpose of using the same in school and colleges. It was derived from the names of two houses where she resided in Mysore. One was "Jaya Vilas" and the other "Lalitha Vilas". Her paternal grandfather, Narasimhan Rengachary, was in the service of the Mysore kingdom as a surgeon, and served as the court physician to Maharaja Krishna Raja Wadiyar IV of Mysore. Her maternal grandfather, Rangasamy Iyengar, moved to Mysore from Srirangam to work with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited. He had one son and three daughters - Ambujavalli, Vedavalli and Padmavalli. Vedavalli was given in marriage to Narasimhan Rengachary's son, Jayaram. *The couple Jayaram-Vedvalli had two children: a son Jayakumar and a daughter, Jayalalitha.* Her mother, her relatives and later co-stars and friends referred her as Ammu. Jayalalitha's father, Jayaram, was a lawyer, but never worked and squandered most of the family money. He died when Jayalalitha was two years old. The widowed Vedavalli returned to her father's home in Bangalore in 1950. Vedavalli learnt shorthand and typewriting to take up a clerical position to help support the family in 1950. Vedavalli's younger sister Ambujavalli had moved to Madras and was working as an air hostess since 1948 and was also acting in dramas and films using the screen name Vidyaavathy since 1951. After a while, on insistence of Ambujavalli, Jayalalithaa's mother Vedavalli also relocated to Madras and stayed with her sister since 1952. Vedavalli worked in a commercial firm in Madras and began dabbling in acting since 1953 under screen name Sandhya. Jayalalitha remained under care of her mother's sister Padmavalli and with maternal grandparents from 1950 to 1958 in Mysore. Vedavalli took on the name Sandhya and began to work as an actress, first in local drama companies and then in Tamil cinema. She took on the screen name of Sandhya. While still in Bangalore, Jayalalithaa attended Bishop Cotton Girls' School. In later interviews, Jayalalithaa spoke emotionally about how she missed her mother growing up in a different city, and she had the opportunity to visit her mother during summer vacations. After her aunt Padmavalli's marriage in 1958, Jayalalitha moved to Chennai and began to live with her mother. She completed her childhood education at Sacred Heart Matriculation School (popularly known as Church Park Presentation Convent or Presentation Church Park Convent) in Chennai. She excelled at school and was offered a government scholarship to pursue further education. *She won Gold State Award for coming first in 10th standard in not just her school but also in Tamil Nadu.* She appears not to have accepted the admission offered to her at Stella Maris College, Chennai. She is fluent in several languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Hindi, Malayalam and English. Her brother Jayakumar, his wife Vijayalakshmi and his daughter Deepa lived in T.Nagar Chennai. Her brother died in 1995 in an accident. 🕶 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeautifulGame Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 As for the amount of obsession /love we show our politicians , we have always then like this even in the past .When Anna died in 1969, 3 lakh people thronged the street to pay their respect. There is nothing wrong with that . The only real issue was in the last decade or so with the emergence of media letting the hero worshipping to abnormal levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
