@johnstanly I have been reading your articles in The Hindu regularly, and I had earlier read your book on Afghan Mullahs. It refreshed and deepened my understanding of West Asia while also presenting many fascinating facts that made this even more engaging. Waiting for your next.
With Tamil Nadu on the edge of its seat ahead of the May 4 vote count, DMK President & CM M.K. Stalin visited Kalaignar Karunanidhi's memorial in Chennai on Sunday evening — a quiet but symbolically loaded moment on the eve of results day. CM was greeted by the public who cheered him warmly, their energy reflecting both the anticipation coursing through DMK ranks and d deep reverence d party faithful hold for the Kalaignar legacy. Stalin has expressed strong confidence in a favourable outcome on May 4, saying his faith is rooted not in opinion polls but in his understanding of the feelings of his party workers. His visit to the memorial — grounding himself in the legacy of his father and the founding spirit of the party on the most consequential night of the election cycle — carried all the hallmarks of a leader who draws his strength as much from history as from the ground beneath him.
