India Today published a story calling it a spoof on the ban of Sri Lankan Players entering Tamil Nadu.
When the Central Government is sublimely indifferent and callous in not condemning The Genocide and bringing the Killers to book, is this the way a Magazine to hurt people’s sentiments?
You need not be a Tamil, being a Human being is enough, not to be moved by the Human Tragedy!
Have the Editors watched the show on The War Museum in Sri Lanka and the Videos of their sister Publications Headlines Today on Sri Lanka Genocide ,including the Killing Fields??
India Today on Ban on Sri Lankan Players by Jayalalithaa
The release of the Tri-lingua(Tamil,Telugu and Hindi)l Film produced by Mr.Kamal Hassan was delayed t in Tamil Nadu by The State Government invoking Section 144 for the Cr.Pc.
This is how the events unfolded as described Ms.J.Jayalalithaa in a Press Conference on 31 January 2013
The Actor filed a case against the State Government in Chennai in the High Court and the ‘Ban’ was lifted .
However this order was revised, upholding the State Government’s Order on appeal.
In the mean while there were reports of Violence reported in Tamil Nadu on 31 January for a period till the ban was over turned by The Bench of The High Court.
There were also incidents of Violence, there smashing , throwing of petrol bombs by the Islamic Groups in Tamil Nadu, protesting against the objectionable content in The Film.
This died down once the order to keep in abeyance the ‘Ban’
There were also reports of violence in pockets of Kerala,Andhra and Karnataka after Film was screened.
Theater Attacked,Tamil Nadu Viswaroopam
However those who have seen the film assert that there is ground for banning the Film as there are no scenes in the Film that hurts the Minorities.
Kamal Hassan went to the Media on 30th, and declared that ‘thee was a Political Conspiracy at work”,Tamil Nadu Does Not want me .”I will settle down from Kerala to Kashmir where artist and Freedom Of Speech is respected” ‘Will settle aboard like M.F Husain”.
Meanwhile Karunanidhi jumped into the fray that the film was banned because Kamal Hassan did not sell the Film to Jaya TV controlled By Jayalalitaa, because Kamal ,in a Public Speech preferred that India/Tamil Nadu had a Dhoti clad Chief Minister/Prime Minister.
Jayalalithaa recounted the case .

1.24 Muslim Organisations had submitted a memorandum to The Chief Secretary,Tamil Nadu that the Film Viswaroopam contained scenes that hurt the Muslims and they wanted the Government to intervene.
2.The note was forwarded by The Chief Secretary to the Home Secretary who sent a letter to Kama Hassan to arrange for a show for the authorities and effect cuts of the scenes which offended the Muslims.
Mr. Kamal Hassan did not agree to the cuts nor was he prepared to meet with the leaders of the Muslim out fits.
3.The Film was scheduled to be released on the 25th of January 2013.
4.On 20 the when the officials went to Kamal Hassan’s residence to see the film ,as asked by Kamal Hassan , they were told that the Film release was being delayed and that he could not show them the Film.
5.In the meanwhile the Muslim announced a series of agitations of the film were to be released.
6. Then, Mr. Kamal Hassan requested for meeting with the CM .
7.As Mr. Kamal has already filed a case in the Court and as the matter was sub judice , CM did not meet him.
8.Immediately Kamal Hassan went to the media.
9.Later he agreed to effect changes as demanded by the Muslim outfits in a meet with the leaders of the Muslim outfits.
10.The Government had to resort to section 144 , as it apprehended a Law and order problem,one of organisations had more than7 Lakh members.
11.Had the Government wanted to ban the Film, it could have done so by invoking section 7 of Tamil Nadu Cinematograph Act,1955, as was done in the Film Dam 999. and he Court upheld the decision.
12.Notice of section 144 in force was for 15 Days and Mr.Kamal Hassan was asked to meet with the leaders and come to an amicable solution..
None of these were complied with by.Mr.Kamal Hassan.
I think she is 100 % correct and it does not be hove of Kamal Hasan to twist facst and act an inured martyr.
” Tamil Nadu chief minister J Jayalalithaa said on Thursday that Kamal Haasan’s movie Vishwaroopam was banned in the state due to fears of violent protests and not because she had a grudge against the actor.
Justifying the ban citing shortage of police to provide security at theatres, she said it was a purely law and order problem. “I do not have the police force to protect the 500-odd theatres in the state,” Jayalalithaa said.
“I have no personal grudge, no personal interest in banning the movie,” she told the media, while adding that her government decided to ban it for 15 days so that tempers could cool down and “both sides could have a discussion and come to an agreement”.
Pointing out that the movie had also been banned in neighbouring states as well as Qatar, the UAE, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Singapore, the chief minister asked, “Was I responsible for all that?
The Tamil Nadu chief minister said trouble over the movie’s release could have been avoided. “Had the film maker screened the movie for the Muslim leaders in the beginning itself, all this would not have happened,” she said.
“Haasan called the Muslim leaders for a viewing only after he was set for release. And finally, he did call some Muslim leaders for a screening at his house. But after seeing the film, the Muslim organisations met the chief secretary and announced a series of agitations across the state,” she added.
Madras High Court sets aside single judge’s order lifting the ban on Kamal Haasan’s movie Vishwaroopam. The final verdict will be made on February 6, till then there will be no release in Tamil Nadu.
At the same time Kamal Haasan had a meeting with a few Muslim leaders at his house and agreed to cut few scenes and Quran verses from the film
Meanwhile petrol bombs were hurled this afternoon at two cinemas in Ramanathapuram in south Tamil Nadu which were scheduled to screenVishwaroopam.
Nobody was hurt, though glass windows were shattered at the theatres.
In Chennai city AGS multiplex in Vilivakkam where hoardings of Vishwaroopam were kept, the theatre was attacked though it had no intention of playing the film.
An effigy of Kamal Haasan was burned by some organisations in front of SSR Pankajam in Saligramam, where Vishwaroopam was about to start.
The recent talks between the Chief MinistersJayalalithaa of Tamil Nadu and Jagdish Shettar of Karnataka on the sharing of Cauvery Water have ended in a dead lock with Karnataka refusing to release even a drop of water to Tamil Nadu despite the Statistics presented by The Tamil Nadu.
Cauvery Protest In Bangalore.
Tamil Nadu’s statement on the position in Mettur dam.
” Jayalalithaa told reporters: “At Mettur, there is only 16.32 tmcft of water. Of this, 5 tmcft is dead storage and another 5 tmcft is for drinking water. So, only 6.32 tmcft is active storage, which is sufficient only for six days. The samba crops on 14.93 lakh acres of land require another 65 days of water supply, else they will wither. We asked Karnataka to release 30 tmcft of water immediately, which is the bare minimum. Despite our pleadings, Karnataka says it cannot release a single of drop of water. We are approaching the Supreme Court on Friday.’
Karnataka’s position as stated by Jagdish Shettar.
“Shettar said: “All that we have in our reservoirs is 37 tmcft. Of this, 20 tmcft is for the drinking water needs of Bangalore, Mysore and other towns and rural areas in the Cauvery basin, while another 10 tmcft should be let out for the purpose of ecological balance. So only 7 tmcft is available for our standing crops. How can we release 30 tmcft? We will also go to court and explain our situation.”
Karnataka CM said Tamil Nadu’s forthcoming season, present storage and groundwater was enough to save the samba crops. “She said Mettur has only 6.32 tmcft of water, but the facts are otherwise. Mettur has 16.32 tmcft of water and the entire water can be utilized for irrigation. Her claim that 5 tmcft is dead storage and can’t be utilized is unfounded, as it can be utilized. As the rainy season is not yet over for Tamil Nadu, even the water she’s claiming for drinking purpose can be used,” said Bommai.
Strange to hear the Chief Minister state that the Dead Storage Water can be used!
This is what Dead Storage is about.
‘
The terminology for reservoirs varies from country to country. In most of the world reservoir areas are expressed in km2 whilst in the USA acres are commonly used. For volume either m3 or km3 are widely used with acre feet used in the USA.
The capacity, volume or storage of a reservoir is usually divided into distinguishable areas. Dead or inactive storage refers to water in a reservoir that cannot be drained by gravity through a dam’s outlet works, spillway or power plant intake and can only be pumped out. Dead storage allows sediments to settle which improves water quality and also creates hydraulic head along with an area for fish during low levels. Active or live storage is the portion of the reservoir that can be utilized for flood control, power production, navigation and downstream releases. In addition, a reservoir’s flood control capacity is the amount of water it can regulate during flooding. The surcharge capacity is the capacity of the reservoir above the spillway crest that cannot be regulated.[22]
In the United States the water below the normal maximum level of a reservoir is called the conservation pool.[23]
In the UKtop water level describes the reservoir full state whist fully drawn down describes the minimum retained volume.”
Tamil Nadu has not been appearing in my blog post for some time now.
I have received an email whether I have stopped writing on Tamil Nadu issues.
I have been posting articles,news worth posting(in my opinion), the latest being on the sacking of Nithyananda.
I will be posting more on the legality of the sacking of Nithyananda.
Karunanidhi is relieved and worried at the same time;relieved because people seem to have forgotten 2G now that Cialgate,Kejriwal,Salman Khurshid NGO,Gadkari scams have taken the center stage;worried because Stalin seems to pressuring him to retire,his Grand son and son of Azhagiri is in hiding for the past two months ,hunted by The Police for his involvement in Madurai quarry scam.
But as a relief to the dull scenario enters Vijayakant, abusing a well known Tamil Weeky Anana Vikatan’s Reporter at the Chennai Airport where reporters have started asking questions on visit of his Four MLAs on AIADMK .
Watch the Video till some more comedy breaks in.
‘
Chennai, Oct 27: Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly and DMDK Founder Vijayakanth today lost his cool and got involved in an altercation with the journalists at the airport here, leading to tension.
Airport sources said the trouble began when Vijayakanth, accompanied by his wife Premalatha and DMDK MLA ‘Anagai’ Murugesan, came to the airport to board a Jet Airways flight to Madurai. Soon after he alighted from his car, media thronged him to seek his reaction about four of his Party MLAs calling on AIADMK Supremo and Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa, apparently unhappy over the functioning of the DMDK leadership. At this stage, one of the scribes pulled his hand in a bid to bring him to have a sound byte, leading to an altercation.
A wordy duel ensued before Vijayakanth came for a brief interaction. When asked about the DMDK MLAs meeting the Chief Minister during the last two days, Vijayakanth said it was not a national or an important issue to be discussed. “There are much more pressing issues like prevalent of Dengue and unannounced power cuts in Tamil Nadu which needs to be discussed,” he said.
As Vijayakanth, also an actor, moved towards the airport lounge, the scribe with whom he had an altercation, drew his attention stating power cut was also rampant in Rishivandhiyam Constituency from where he was elected. A visibly upset Vijayakanth, with folded tongues, asked from which media he was representing. As the journo did not reveal his identity, the actor-turned politician said “you should be from Jaya TV.”
Again a wordy duel ensued and in the process, Murugesan pushed the scribe and also tried to assault him. Vijayakanth is also said to have unleashed some abuses. This resulted in a heated argument in which both Vijayakanth and the scribe traded verbal volleys in singular. However, Vijayakanth was escorted to the lounge from where he boarded the flight to Madurai.’
The Gopuram (Temple Tower) of the Temple is the emblem of The Government of Tamil Nadu.
Well, you can not expect respect and regard from the people who married widow,called Tamil as a language of the Barbarians , who decried Idol worships but worshipped in idol form as a ritual and whose birth day is celebrated after his death!
His disciple(when it suits him) is a man who has illegal relationship and an offspring, which and whom whom he flaunts publicly.
Here is man who ran away from a prostitute’s house without paying money, after enjoying her services by the back door.(Vana Vasam-by Kannadasan).
Thanks to the efforts of dedicated Sri Vaishnavaites, the CM of Tamil Nadu J.Jayalalithaa had ordered the removal of the offensive portions from the text book insulting th Saint Andal.
This information was forwarded to me by Mr. Venkatakrishnan Chellappa.
