Political thunderstorms....

To be a politician ,you need to be like a service provider,trying to meet the needs of the masses,trying hard to make their county/district a better place.That was how people perceived politicians.And this is how i/we view the political setup as.
One needs to have the following qualifications * should a bigger gunda,so it is easier to put fake votes and capture booths if required. * Must have a family member already part of the existing political strata. * must have the ability to listen to the people's woes and let it dripple out through the other ear.
If this is politics,who the heck who would want to join? Having said all these,there was a recent proclaimation in the papers by politicians that TAMIL should be made the medium of instruction in all professional colleges and other places(i du not exactly remember...).What the heck is that about? Are we trying to go back in time? DO you have any idea,how many students,are missing out oppurtunities,just because,they cannot communicate in english to others properly. Even France is facing that issue and its President,who has realized his follies and trying to rectify by providing English classes to all.

I am not against TAMIL or any other langauage,i am just expecting people,to realise that based on emotions and nostalgia,we cannot survive in the world.If we have to make a MARK in this world,we need to do it in our way,but not by seggregating ourselves,from the crowd,but by identifying ourselves as different.that is all.TAMIL should be give its due diligence,but that should not hinder us from achieving the goal of global identification.
Due you know,the reason,why our Honorable communication Minister is able to make his mark,because he is able to communicate his thoughts to the probable investors through a common medium.What seperates him from the common politician weilding a sickel is knowledge and the global language english.
I have nothing else to add here.....
