Hey Ram Do you need all these? Both of you -yourself and Sri Chidambaram had reached the bottom of life, though in the college both of you were totally the opposites. Why? DMK friendship. Kooda natpu kedil mudiyum KR IRS 251123

Ram, the leftist egotist singlehandedly brought down the great edifice called "THE HINDU". * *If DR Malini Parthasarathy's stars and gods are on her side, still miracles may happen & the paper can be revived.* *The Hindu National Newspaper has a tradition, history, and credibility. It was always pro-government or neutral to an extent during G Kasturi's editorship until N Ram took over.* **Patronized by Brahmins and senior officials, it was a part of many a person’s life, including mine.** *The Hindu National newspaper's legacy ended in 1991 when G Kasturi stepped down as Editor after a nasty street fight with N Ram, who even refused to perform the last rites as eldest son when his father G Narasimhan died. * **In 1991, it became The Anti-Hindu Anti-National Daily.** *N. Ram was a Leftist and pushed the paper to a leftist agenda which was obviously anti-Hindu and anti-India. * *The rise of the BJP gave Ram a political target and in TN it was appealing to the major advertisers. However, the paper lost its hardcore loyal readers and replacement was inadequate to cover the loss. Readers began calling it as Christian Science Monitor and Pakistani Post.* *The Hindu which was once an encyclopedia for civil service aspirants lost its relevance. Social media destroyed whatever was left of its credibility and nationally Modi and the BJP grew bigger and stronger. * *Age did not give wisdom to Ram. It was understandable when he was young to believe China was a benevolent proletariat experiment to all human beings of the world and loitering in West Bengal rubbing shoulders with comrades. Forget about political preferences, just being a leftist newsletter in the guise of a newspaper was enough to be a put-off. * *It was the voice of freedom fighters before 1947 and Gandhi and Nehru visited Kasturi Buildings as freedom fighters to meet Editor Kasturi Srinivasan. * *This newspaper took a definite left turn after Sidharth Varadarajan gained prominence in this organisation, later becoming chief editor but the same trend continued even after he left no thanks to Suresh Nambath, Vijay Shankar the rascal RK Radhakrishnan, etc.* **Varadharajan has become a bigger anti-Modi campaigner after he joined The Wire. They spread more venomous anti-India and anti-Modi news which are fake anyway. Nice grounding at The Hindu, I suppose.** **A lot many including me dumped The Hindu around that time for their bias and moved to The Times.** **Recently, Dr. Malini Parthasarathy the Chairperson of The Hindu Group met the PM and shared the photo on Twitter. Is it a crime? Did you not meet Jothi Basu, Pinarayi, and Prakash Brinda Karat while working as an editor?** *She tweeted about restoring the honesty and credibility of the newspaper when Mercedes Benz Communist N Ram, now downgraded as Director of the group, retorted immediately saying he had nothing to do with it. It turned out that he was only washing dirty linen in public. * *The Hindu under the stewardship of Malini has become neutral again with a balanced coverage. She is not yet another roadside commy editor at The Hindu but did her master’s degree in journalism at the prestigious Columbia University in New York and subsequently got her doctorate and worked as a US Correspondent as well. * **Esteemed directors: it is unfair to tie an iron chain and iron ball to her legs and make her run. Please allow her to function; she has talents and guts If you want the paper to survive.** **Otherwise, nothing will change for the Mount Road pamphlet, and will not see the light of its 150th year.** *And the souls of Sri. Subramanian Iyer, Kasturi Ranga Iyengar, Kasturi Srinivasan, Kasturi Gopalan, Gopalan Kasturi, Gopalan Narasimhan, Srinivasan Parthasarathy, S. Rangarajan and others will not forgive you from heaven. * *Prakash M Swamy* *Prakash M Swamy was an ace reporter in The Hindu. 🌏* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
