It is one thing to excel at one chosen field, but entirely another to rule the roost in six different fields - Law, Theatre, Cinema, Journalism, Writing and Political Strategy.
On his birthday, let us take a look at the CV of the multifaceted Cho Ramaswamy (1/10)
Do you know why everyone from mullahs to Marxists hates #TheKeralaStory?
It is not because of the number. Whether 3 or 32,000, the number is irrelevant. Even ONE case like this is one case too much, because it is about the life of one woman and even THEY know it too.
They hate #thekeralastory because it exposes the inconvenient truth, that the desert cult is not just a way of worship. It is an expansionist military philosophy that believes in continuous recruitment.
The entire recruitment methodology has been shown in the movie with a devastating impact, how they prey on the emotionally vulnerable Hindus who neither know enough about their own religion to defend nor have read anything about other religions to question.
So each time a Hindu is asked an uncomfortable question, they either offer weak defenses or avoid answering the questions by smiling weakly. The other side then senses a chink in the armour and then they go at it relentlessly.
You don’t have to explain. You don’t have to defend. Your faith is for you to believe in, to practise, to propagate.
Yes, PROPAGATE!
Maybe not by shoving your book down anyone’s throat, but by being supremely secure in the way you are, by wearing the marks of your faith with pride, by asserting your practices at workspaces.
You want to do your Ekadasi upawas? Declare it with pride. You leave home after a small pooja and a Tilak on your forehead, do so with pride. You want to keep a small Murti of your Ishta Devta on your desk and offer flowers to it everyday, do it in everyone’s face. You have EVERY right to practise, preach and propagate your faith as the cults.
The same constitution that gives them the right to harvest your soul, gives YOU the right to hold on to it. Problem is, we only stop at practising, while THEY focus on preaching and propagating.
Next time someone asks you, ‘why do believe in a God with an elephant’s head’? Don’t get all defensive and start explaining about ‘how symbolic’ it all is, instead, look them in the eye and ask, ‘why do YOU believe that a man rode a white donkey to heaven and cleaved the moon into two’?
Next time they throw the term Sati at you, question THEM on the genocides they have committed in the name of their God of ‘love and peace’. Ask them about witch burnings, ask them about skull towers erected from the heads of ‘unbelievers’ to please the Sultan.
When they ask you about ‘caste discrimination’ ask them about the atrocities they committed on native populations worldwide, because they ‘looked different’.
When they throw the term ‘patriarchy’ at you, ask them if they truly believe that the first woman was ‘created’ from the first man’s rib. Remind them of their own ‘book’ that says a woman’s word is ‘worth half that of a man.’ Ask them about the sexual assaults on choir boys.
When they ask you about the destruction of that ONE dilapidated building in Ayodhya, question them on the 40,000 temples they have destroyed, ask them about inquisition.
In the spiritual Serengeti, when a herd of elephants is surrounded by a pride of lions on one side and a pack of hyenas on the other, the elephants cannot afford to graze peacefully, unaware of the threat. The strongest elephants in the herd need to be secure in their strength and fight.
Otherwise, it is always the weakest of the herd that gets hunted, the calves and the sick ones!

In Papua New Guinea, PM James Marape and I had the honour of releasing the Thirukkural in Tok Pisin language. Thirukkural is an iconic work, which provides valuable insights across different subjects.
Met a Brahmin riksha driver in Mumbai. Asked after 12 hrs on horrible roads & inhaling pollution, how does he find the energy to oppress lower castes, women, minorities & LGBTQ.
He just smiled mildly. Don't think Brahmins are allowed to share their secrets. Dangerous people.
It's 15 yrs since Tamil writer Sujatha passed away. His writing style - easy and accessible - helped sustain interest in Tamil for a few generations of readers. In his lifetime, he did a lot more to the language he wrote in than many Dravidian leaders ever could.
Lots of foreign help has come in to southern Turkey. Military forces proving their value - we found Indian airborne helping out at Iskenderun hospital having flown in less than 48 hours after the quake 1/3
நான் கிட்டத்தட்ட 22 வயது வரை நாத்திகனாக இருந்தேன்.கோவில்களுக்கு செல்வது பிடிக்கவில்லை.
நான் அவற்றை பிராமணர்கள் மற்றும் பிறர் பணம் சம்பாதிக்கும் இயந்திரங்களாகவே கருதினேன்.ஒவ்வொரு அடியிலும் அவர்கள் எப்படி பணம் கேட்டார்கள் என்பதை நான் வெறுத்தேன்.
