While I fully agree that Ranjith's polemical contribution has been a powerful source of energy to continue the wavering struggle in the Chithralekha's cause, I don't take the latter part of your observation; the thought of one being 'used' merely as a cannon-fodder for political aims whatever lofty is neither acceptable, nor is there any need for us to see him as some one personally losing his complexity of voice. Further,despite all these exercises in moderation, his views expressed both by words plain and sometimes as though masquerading as personal abuse, are definitely going to prevail.
