I don’t suspect Sridhar Vembu of anything. He has contributed immensely to both our state and the country.
As an individual, Vembu is entitled to his views.
India is heterogeneous, not homogeneous. A person or a state can have multiple identities, and being a Tamilian and an Indian is not mutually exclusive.
People in Tamil Nadu give equal importance to both identities and do not prioritise one over the other.
Indians routinely hold multiple identities without contradiction - that's a strength, not a weakness.
How mad Trump is and how indifferent Iran is to these threats.
Reality is stranger than fiction.
Say two decades ago, would we have imagined such a US president and the way he treats other countries including allies?

A CISF jawan Kulwinder Kaur has slapped Kangana Ranaut at Chandigarh airport.
Needless to say, people who don't like her will love this openly or covertly. But we need to see the larger picture as well. The inability of security forces to rise above their personal grudges or religious issues is a worrisome sign.
The CISF protects not only the airports but also sensitive installations like nuclear reactors, space establishments, ports, oil fields, and power plants.
The time has come for the CISF to introduce sensitization and scanning for radicalization as well. Otherwise, much worse can happen.
It is natural to be humble and foolish to be arrogant. So many things have to perfectly fall in place for any action to succed. And we do not have any control over many of these things. Failure is the norm and success is an exception.
If you are successful, you're also lucky. So gratitude is always the best attitude. And be kind and helpful to those who are unlucky, which most of the people are.
Most of us have been asked this question many times:
What keeps you awake in the night?
My answer has always been:
Nothing. I sleep well in the night.
The questioners were always disappointed with the answer.
Good Night.
The former CEO of Twitter, Parag Agrawal, thought he was going to get 42 million just for being fired. Instead, Elon Musk found a way around that part of the contract and he will get a grand total of $0 😂
