Sad state of affairs!! People of Tamil Nadu have lost their cultural and social identity owing to the nefarious conversion campaigns unleashed by external parties over the past many many decades!This got the population totally lost and addicted to the mindless following of 'God-Like' persona of politicians and actors and actor-turned-politicians,neither of them doing anything positive for the common public!! This made the citizens of the state totally bankrupt intellectually and lost in the maze of north-south divide, Dravidian and Tamil Pride, Hindu-Muslim-Christian conversion progrom and the Caste divide!! As a result, a state that was culturally and intellectually far ahead of the rest of the country, ended up losing its identity identity and now we have a large bunch of goons and dynasty running the state for decades, doing nothing but rampant corruption and ethnic cleansing of the true Tamil culture!Unfortunately, unless people realise that they have been chasing the actors and actor politicians unnecessarily, nothing will change for the better in Tamil Nadu!Read allPost comment
