Venu, You could ofcourse include my name among the signatories [ if it is of any 'use']
Ranjith, You always ridicule 'Malayali', 'Savarna', "male'. Ironically, time and again you prove that you are not an exception but exemplification of all those charecteristics!! Going by your responses in this forum, I find no reason why you should be on the other side . Sanil, I agree on your point on abusing Che and Stalin without proper reference. Apart from that you are completely off the mark. We could debate about the criticism raised against Arundhathi as it is based on her interventions/ arguments on the particular issue. But in Sugathakumari's case the criticism is not in the least connected to her intervention. It is if asking to be skeptical of Arundhathi's intervention in Narmada because she is 'anti communist' and ' pro freesex ' !!! Malayalis [ including some staying outside Kerala!!] always ask for the credentials of each and every person falling beyong the left/ right division. Will somebody tell me the list of 'clean' intellectuals whom they certify to be eligible for legitimate responses? I am sure evry other moralist will nullify others lists!! To them, they themselves are the only heroes. [ They will even kill each other over this claim. Few years ago, CPI[ML] redflag activists killed a memeber of another group [Paul]. Reason: He protested against the visit of a foreign team more effectively by jumping in front of their car] You are completely mistaken about Ranjith's response. He is preaching that struggling people in Athirappalli should reject Sugathakumari's support and remain 'pure'. Well, being critical even while coming around on certain issues is entirely different. It is quite evident that people like Ranjith are [ just like me] speaking from relatively safe locations and have no experience in ground level struggles. In life and death struggles nobody could afford to be so moralistic. Survival at least have some 'use value" hey na?
