if a group is controlled by a specific caste or sect, you cannot expect all

top executives from the same side. It is not possible. We will have to look

at composition of management. In the case of iyengar groups, it is more or

less with iyengars. In the case of iyers, some groups have vanished and in some

cases matrimonial alliances have changed or may change the composition.


Compared to iyengars, iyers lack interest in communitybuilding , which is

due to inconsistent religious following. How many iyers help their community

men/women, nurture, groom and make them repute, as in the case of parsis,

jains, marwaris, banias, punjabis etc.


The sidelining of 'ramanuja' was also one of the reasons.

A deep dive into the family feud by the Independent!

past two weeks since sid varad got kicked out i notice a slant in hindu which is awful.

they produced in tamil and english, articles, literally accusing sardar patel of murder of delhi muslims during partition. this was from maulana azad autobiography selected pieces.

yes the muslims of delhi had it bad. but so did hindus/sikhs of punjab and bengal. what was more distressing in the hindu, was the no of letters thanking hindu for the 'true' picture of delhi events. i simply wrote a note, pointing out that in times when lawlessness runs amuck, it is not right to blame one person for all the troubles.

also wrote that it would have been good had they published the travails of the hindus/sikhs of punjab. the letter got published though, but only one of the few voices condemning the partiality of the hindu against patel.

disgusting!!

is there an alternate chennai published english net paper? maybe express?

I have been a reader of The Hindu for the past 67 years (from the age of 15). I have never seen such a degradation of news coverage in this paper as of now. News papers are not like other commodities to sell by advertisents, they reach readers who can understand well about what they read. In today's world media has expanded all round and the reach is great. The visual media telecasts the events as they happen.

But The Hindu wants to live with a closed mind of its own. For instance, The Hindu's coverage of public meeting in Bangalore yesterday by Mr Narendra Modi is pathetic. It was perhaps the largest gathering of people Bangalore has seen in the 40 acre Palace grounds. The Police and news media estimate this between 2.5 to 3.0 lakhs of people, as against The Hindu's one lakh.The RSS and BJP cadres assisted the Police in regulating the mamoth crowd without any untoward incident. The flow of traffic in nearby Roads was normal. TOI and Bangalore's own Deccan Herald have covered the meeting and given the news in much more pragmatic manner (Modi accuses UPA of muzzling voices). Whereas The Hindu has given equal prominance to Mr Rahul Gandhi's meeting in Delhi which was a flop with people leaving the venue while he was addressing, in spite of requests by Mrs Dixit.(Rahul forced to cut short speech at Delhi election meeting as people leave - The Times of India)

It is a well known fact that The Hindu is anti BJP and anti Modi in its coverage. But they failed to understand the mood of young readers of this generation who want a change in Government. They have no faith in propped-up leaders of Congress.

Dear Sri Brahmanyan,

Can understand your anguish!

The former editor was a communist & hard core anti-hindutva read BJP ! He hardly covered Modi & there were standing instructions to this effect!

Under new dispensation there is some improvement...The photo speaks all about the crowd

?Modi, Modi? rent the air at Palace Grounds - The Hindu

As shared, the paper needs to embrace reality in the news room! Not in bits and pieces! Views can be aired through the Editorial or Opinion pages!
