The Court has evolved something to pacify the Advocates through their hogwash suspension of 2 police officers, just for the sake of having the Advocates crowd during the oath taking ceremony for the next lot of 14 Judges to be sworn in shortly, is nothing but a simple ploy to trap the agitating Advocates to return to Court on some pretext or other and to give them an honourable exit. As lawyers we have to welcome that something has happened to bring down the curtains on this ugly issue, but finally it turns out that the Advocates are the losers.
I would like to emphatically state that it is a national shame that such judges who are just plain cowards and shameless sit in our Courts. I am mentioning about the Judges who had the taste of the mob police's Lathis but still did not open their mouth against it or act against it through their enormous powers under the Contempt of Court Act.
The Judges of the High court along with those of the City civil court and also the Small causes court who were hit but had not opened their mouth to raise a complaint, on such a plain criminal action are not fit to be judges and deliver judgments. What right have they got to indict witnesses turning hostile or to chastise the witness who under some duress or reward succumbs against truth. These high priests of justice themselves are mortally afraid of the police or the State government and have not proceeded to tell the truth either to the Srikrishna Commission or to the President of India or initiate suo moto action for contempt against the police.
It would be better for the lawyers to boycott these judges courts in the interests of justice and also in the better interests of Truth and our Country, till they tender their resignations voluntarily or are forced to resign wilting on the shame of their ineptitude. Whatever happens, whether they resign or not, their conscience will kill them for having buried the truth in such a shameless manner and that too even after much spilling of blood on this august premises.
It will not be very long before the Delhi police to enter parliament and lathi charge the members during a session, just because like what happened in our high court, a group of naxalite members would cause some contempt and the police would take the opportunity to humiliate the institution ( of course with the permission of the head of the State at that time) !!!

HIGH COURT VIOLENCE AS I SAW IT - originally mailed to friends on March 7, 2009
I was a witness to the happenings both on the 17th February and 19th February having been near ground zero on both occasions, because of my court work exactly at those places.
what happened on the 17th, that is the egg episode is the most disgraceful, shameful, contemptuous action done by the naxalite or CPI (ML) or SFI allegiance lawyers. But please remember that they are only a few out of the entire Advocate fraternity and not more than a dozen would support their views. But unfortunately on the 19th, in the police station episode some uninformed or near stupid Advocates went overboard on their zealous task to protect their Advocate brethren from getting arrested. THATS ALL. They did not, I INSIST, they did not indulge in any violence or induce any violence at the first instance. I TELL THIS PERSONALLY SINCE IT IS THE TRUTH, EVEN THOUGH I PERSONALLY DO NOT EVEN POINT ONE PERCENT ACCEPT THE RHETORIC OR DOGMA OF THE SLOGAN SHOUTING, EGG THROWING BRIGADE.
The so called Human Rights lawyers who were present in the police station instead of diffusing the situation and working out a solution did the most foolish thing by trying to lodge a false complaint against Dr. Swamy, so as to get a supposed BALANCE. Plain bull shit. They did not anticipate the violence that was going to be unleashed. The other actions of roguish behaviour at that point of time by the Advocates was more barking than biting. The Advocates were not at all armed or were ready for some fight or violence. The police had shields and also lathis. If Advocates threw stones they could have shielded themselves and walked out. They could have picked up these 19 lawyers from their homes at leisure. The Advocates did not boycott or protest when the first of the 20, one Mr. Gini Liew Manuel was arrested on the night of 17th.
Why should the police hit with lathis ? It was the police who threw stones from the first floor of the NDPS court building on to the local police. The same guys who in the garb of Advocates are seen smashing cars in one or two photos are the ones who also threw stones in the first instance on the local police who were there. Secondly, it was the police themselves who burnt the police station with tyres brought from a nearby puncture shop, and petrol sourced from the bunk near Thiruvalluvar bus stand. They poured the petrol in the tyres burnt it and rolled it into the police station. Tell me from the videos as to where was the sentry at the police station or what he was doing when it is his job to save the police station and not run away from it. Moreover show me one camera footage of Advocate's burning the police station. The stupid ones burnt some things outside the station and the things sourced from the police station.
Why did not the police lathi charge the Advocates when they tried to burn the police station ? Where were they ? Were they at the Commissioner's office or the DGP's office ? They were right there, but cleaverly moved away so as to show in the cameras that it was the Advocate's who did it. Moreover to proof for the same is that the entire files from the police station had been moved out by the police much earlier and only the cause list bundles and some useless papers were allowed to be burnt. How is that the steel cup board that is shown to be burnt by Advocates was empty and its lock open ? Had the police station been burnt suddenly all the records would have been destroyed and the police would have raised a hue and cry about this even at that time. Why have they not done it till now ?
Moreover the entire issue was done with orders from the higher level including the Law minister, who has nothing to do with Law, except that he perpetuates unlawfullness alone. Why has he not visited the lawyers the same day at the hospital if he is not guilty ? The police had planned it earlier and the strike force stationed at pudupet knew that that this is what is going to happen in the High Court even as early as the previous night. The police also molested women and women lawyers during the mayhem, including assault both verbally and physically. Who ordered them to do this ? shameful.
Now why is the Commissioner hiding behind policemens wives ? if he has not allowed the strike force to move out, which moves out only on his command. If he had not ordered their entry into the High Court, then who ordered it ? If it was nobody or his subordinates then it is a police mutiny which has to be probed seperately and the perpetrators punished. isnt it ? The rowdy state government wants the police to capture booths and assist in punching false votes during
The same Advocate group are also anti-Hindu and shouted pro naxal slogans during the Kandhamal violence at Orissa. The same bunch of egg throwers are also in the forefront of the anti-Chidambaram Temple agitation, and thus because of their foolishness, arrogance, anti-nationalism and anti-establishmentarianism had brought in this shame and disrepute to the entire profession. They have no business either to shout slogans or sit on dharna inside the court on non-professional issues, both Eelam and also Chidambaram temple issue.
I hope that the hooligan lawyers would themselves repent their stance and go before a bench at the High Court and accept responsibility for their action and end this boycott. I think that alone would be a starting point to end the boycott.
Even Dayanidhi maran barked " Ayyo Kolranga" "Ayyo Kolranga" at the time when Karunanidhi was arrested and made a big fuss. Karunanidhi could have got arrested quietly, peacefully and gracefully knowing his stature and age, but when he himself did not do, how can you expect young and mob-attitude lawyers to get arrested and that too at their FORT ! ! May be he would get arrested gracefully the next time ! let us wait for that and see it.
No Police can step into the Courts anymore. The Advocates WILL NEVER ACCEPT THEIR APOLOGIES, even if tendered. Even if i differ with the Naxalite group Advocates who were the spark to this entire violence or the Justice Sri Krishna report which is near absolute wrong in its finding on the nature and cause of the violence on the 19th February, I too will not accept the devlish behaviour of the police and their draconian bosses, whomsoever it may be or accept their apologies, even if tendered. The persons who ordered this violence inside the campus must be PUNISHED.
P.S - I believe that whatever happened had happened because of the wrong judgment given by this Court against the Lord Nataraja at Chidambaram. In Thiruvilayadal Puranam the story of "Pittukku man sumandhu Pirambadi patta kadhai" is well known and similarly here because of a wrong judgment, the entire lawyer community is hit, who, without even their knowledge as to what was happening were hit.
Now Karunanidhi forms a trust to safeguard Vanniar properties and falls at the feet of Dr. Ramdoss.. shameless creature.. but want to take away the Temple at Chidambaram from those administering it ... he proves what he is ... a total casteist, hypocratic and corrupt bigot.

Tata’a ace
http://www.hindu.com/2008/01/12/stories/2008011256311001.htm
The launch of Tata Nano has spread a few myths: it is an alternative to two-wheelers; it will cause lesser pollution; it is the people’s car; and it is safer than two-wheelers. The reality is: two-wheelers are easier to handle; a two-wheeler user can reach the destination faster in the city; parking and moving are easier; a two-wheeler burns only 100 or 200 cc of oxygen but even a small car burns 625 cc of oxygen and, with traffic snarls, the gross emission will be much higher; more cars will make city traffic a nightmare; and a light car is never safe in a highway or high-speed accident.

Farm loan waiver
http://www.hindu.com/2008/03/04/stories/2008030454840800.htm
The agricultural loan waiver has essentially proved that the policy of economic liberalisation drawn up by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has not worked and that the Finance Minister could not do anything to take the so-called liberalised markets to the rural masses. Election-eyed loan waivers to one and all will only ruin the economy in the long run.

Eulogy for a freedom fighter, a labour leader and a devotee, and also my grand father
My grandfather Shri. Adhiraju P.S. Sambasiva Iyer attained the feet of Lord Shiva on 23-3-2009 at Ariyalur. He was 91. He was a bachelor and my father, his elder brother's son was taken by him in adoption, as his son.
Born as the last son to Shri. Adhiraju Subbaraya Iyer and Subbulakshmi at Karur. His father was an eminent and wealthy lawyer and he shunned the comfortable life at home for freedom struggle through armed means. He had a cash reward of Rs. 10,000 on his head even during 1940's. His fight against the British through armed struggle and his burning down of English owned factories and assets made him a terror for the then administration. Even at a time when he had a prize on his head he was bold enough to elude the surveillance and visit his mother and eat curd rice from her hand and vanish into the forests. Later he was jailed along with Rajaji, which record at the Salem jail was the only one to show that he was incarcerated by the British.
After Independence he was a labour leader who worked tirelessly for the welfare of the labourers at Karur and Ariyalur and continued to fight for their cause till he was about 88 years after which he himself withdrew from public activities due to his slow movement and dependency on help. Though he had problems with his eye sight, his faculties were sharp and he maintained good health. He used to take a handful of peanuts and coffee every evening and had done the same even on his last day at about 5.00 pm. He lived frugally at the basement of his brother's house at Ariyalur and was taken care of by Late Mr. Natarajan and Mrs. Kamakshi till present. He also brought up two boys, Pandian and Selvam, from the underprivileged sections of the society, and got them educated, settled and married. The said Pandian was near him at the time of death.
As everyone of our family elders he too was an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva and was not one bit afraid of death. He used to crack jokes about his impending death and had predicted its arrival before the end of this month. He died peacefully in a minute uttering the words "appa appa", during the final minute which reflects his firm faith on Lord Shiva.
It is said that he was not promoted in the communist party due to his devotion and faith, which were used by his detractors to sideline him in the party hierarchy. He did not mind it at all and remained a loyal member of the party. Several years back when this was brought to my knowledge by his friends and associates I asked him to join BJP for which he said that though he wanted me to work for the cause of Hindutva, he would stand by his party, whether his party stood by him or not. I have had several long introspective sessions with him and am convinced that my ideology is as strong as his. His unwavering mind, clear thoughts and simplicity are his life's message and all those who had been near him and shared time with him are indeed, blessed.
Even God wanted to validate it and recalled him on 23rd March, the same day Bhagat Singh, Sukh Dev and Rajguru were hanged, the same men who were his inspiration.
Of course, except for a garland by the local Tahsildar, none else from the Government were free enough to honour a departed soul. The lazy district collector, who lives nearby did not find time to even honour a freedom fighter and a man who toiled his entire life for the public, free of cost, unlike him who is well nourished out of the people's monies.
The wall posters put up by the communist party and the autorickshaw annoucement made by the party workers throughout Ariyalur were the only media news on his demise. The newspapers and other media did not find a place to print / mention, since may be they did not find the death of the only freedom fighter of that area not newsworthy or interesting. But anyway we are neither bothered by nor care for these corrupt institutions anymore.
A large number of public, the sitting MLA, ex-MLA of Ariyalur and the Communst Party of India visited to pay their last respects.
It is such men who got us independence, which unfortunately has been highjacked by multi spectrum corrupt politicians and their chosen stooges.

He also brought up two boys, Pandian and Selvam, from the underprivileged sections of the society, and got them educated, settled and married. The said Pandian was near him at the time of death.
As everyone of our family elders he too was an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva and was not one bit afraid of death. He used to crack jokes about his impending death and had predicted its arrival before the end of this month. He died peacefully in a minute uttering the words "appa appa", during the final minute which reflects his firm faith on Lord Shiva.
It is said that he was not promoted in the communist party due to his devotion and faith, which were used by his detractors to sideline him in the party hierarchy. He did not mind it at all and remained a loyal member of the party. Several years back when this was brought to my knowledge by his friends and associates I asked him to join BJP for which he said that though he wanted me to work for the cause of Hindutva, he would stand by his party, whether his party stood by him or not. I have had several long introspective sessions with him and am convinced that my ideology is as strong as his. His unwavering mind, clear thoughts and simplicity are his life's message and all those who had been near him and shared time with him are indeed, blessed.
Even God wanted to validate it and recalled him on 23rd March, the same day Bhagat Singh, Sukh Dev and Rajguru were hanged, the same men who were his inspiration.
Of course, except for a garland by the local Tahsildar, none else from the Government were free enough to honour a departed soul. The lazy district collector, who lives nearby did not find time to even honour a freedom fighter and a man who toiled his entire life for the public, free of cost, unlike him who is well nourished out of the people's monies.
The wall posters put up by the communist party and the autorickshaw annoucement made by the party workers throughout Ariyalur were the only media news on his demise. The newspapers and other media did not find a place to print / mention, since may be they did not find the death of the only freedom fighter of that area not newsworthy or interesting. But anyway we are neither bothered by nor care for these corrupt institutions anymore.
A large number of public, the sitting MLA, ex-MLA of Ariyalur and the Communst Party of India visited to pay their last respects.
It is such men who got us independence, which unfortunately has been highjacked by multi spectrum corrupt politicians and their chosen stooges.

Greenways road to DGS Dhinakaran Road - the degradation of Tamil Nadu
The saturated faith healing market of the west has now landed in India and is marketing its fraudulent wares in our country. It has become a big time business that is now reaching even the last Indian through the medium of television. It is high time that the Government acts against these imported impostors or their Indian versions preying on the huge gullible masses. I do not think that the Magic remedies Act would be enough to bite or puncture this big time disease that is now penetrating and threatening India.
I only feel ashamed at all the Health Ministers from the Union to the States together with all the Health Secretaries and Vice Chancellors or Deans of all Medical Institutions of our country who do not have the guts or courage to blow the whistle at this fraudulent nonsense. If such evangelists could prove that God cures wholesale through their prayer meetings then they should be made the Health ministers or secretaries in government and also the Vice chancellors and deans of medical institutions so that the poor general masses of our country could benefit the direct magical remedy of their God.
It is only in India that we have the four Vedas for the Gods followed by the fifth and sixth vedas namely the Dhanur Veda and Ayur Veda for Humans to protect themselves. We Indians were thoroughly rational even before thousands and thousands of years to know that God has descended upon earth as medicines to cure and the knowledge had been orally recorded and passed on for generations and generations as true knowledge. The great Indian history and epics in various languages have recorded God's direct interference to cure the most devout Bhakta, and only after confirming his devotion. Instances of such faith healing for the ordained ones, of course, only through their direct prayers, are very far and few for a billion population to take to and follow.
Had God wanted to cure, either directly or through his chosen agents addressing in person or through Tv then there is no necessity for medical practitioners. Thus the irrationality that is being pounded through the TV medium in the name of faith healing targeted on lakhs and lakhs of the poor is not only a grave threat to the health department of the government but also a security threat to the nation as such mass hypnotists can wreck havoc by preaching against taking medicines for some grave communicable disease that can cause real problems for the Government and also the people.
I am sure that the magical remedies Act would not work at all since the nadir has been reached in Tamil Nadu a few days before to recognise and felicitate the greatest of such a fraudster. The Greenways Road in Chennai, the most prestigious road where all the High Court Judges including the Chief Justice of the Madras High Court, and all the Ministers of the Tamil Nadu Government have their bungalows has been named after one such fraudulent evangelist by name DGS Dinakaran, who died last year. The current state of affairs in Tamil Nadu is so shameless that instead of naming the most prestigious road which was and is the residence of the best of men who did / doing their Constitutional duty in the name of the first amongst such doyens to have resided in that road, sadly has been named after a fraud who made magical remedies as his full time business, made billions of rupees, acquired huge properties, constructed money spinning educational institutions only for the moneyed class and not the poor, shopped only at the Harrods, London and now his entire family including his grand children are into the same business to continue it in the next millennium.
"Long live Magical remedies and after that, the Indian Law".
