Here is the latest announcement from FIDE:

Born in an orthodox Brahmana family, similar to Ramanujam, he lives in Besant Nagar, Madras. Here is an interview with his parents, who, even though very orthodox, are also quite knowledgeable about what it takes to make it to the top.

It reminds one that success cannot be grabbed by means of quotas or other forced tactics. There are no shortcuts in life. To be the very best, it takes a combination of talent and perseverance, not running after entitlements.
It is an irony that this achievement took place on the same day that the fascist KKK parties are jumping up and down in the streets agitating for shortcuts. It is unfortunate that the bandh prevented people turning up to congratulate his parents. I wonder if the Ramadosses, Karus and Veeramani's will congratulate him and give him an award like they gave to that unfortunate woman (alleged to be a transgender) recently. I am sure they will claim that the award money was spent on the Periyar film sponsored by them
On a lighter note, it would be interesting to see if the KKK parties can suggest any modifications to the chess rules for "backward" champions. For example:
a. If a "backward" chess player plays an opponent to a draw, it is considered as a win for him/her!
b. A "backward" players' pawn can move one square back also, in addition to moving forward.
c. In fact, all pieces of a "backward" player can move both backward and forward on the grid, while a "forward" players' pieces can only move forward. This applies to knights and rooks also.
d. A "backward" player is allowed 20% additional "grace time", before he/she has to make a move, compared to a "forward" player.
e. If the "backward" player has 3 or more fewer pieces on the board compared to the "forward" player, then the "backward" player is entitled to convert any piece to a queen.
If too many "forward" players are still getting to the top ranks even after these changes, then the "pirpaduthapattavargal" are allowed to seek further changes, so as to allow the bottom 69% ranks to be only occupied by the "pirpaduthapattavargal". Because of all the pirpaduthapattifying by the "forwards", the FIDE constitution will be changed by an amendment to ensure this policy in the name of "social justice".
