You are wrong Dr Aravaanan!

[Aravanan]

Dr K.P Aravavan, a noted Tamil Educationist and ex vice chancellor of Manonmaniam Sundaranar University has told in a recent meeting, two baseless remarks. I would like to express my contra views here.

1. He said, "We are wasting a lot of energy and money on our present parliamentry democracy. So we have to follow LOT SYSTEM ( Thiruvulacheettu in Tamil ) to elect candidates". It is one of the most foolish remarks from a knowledgeable person in Tamil Nadu. Even he has beaten politicians. See the implications. Now present day elections are based on multipart democracy and most of the elections are fought on Issues! There is a marked difference between BJP and left wing ideology. If left wing government comes into power they may see how best the rural issues solved and if BJP comes into power they may go with their own agenda. People are choosing which one is the best for the present scenario and that is what going on here.

If the party in the power has not been upto the expectation of the people it is thrown into the dust... the best example is how Jayalaitha was defeated in the election 9 years ago. So if we follow the system profounded by Mr Aravaanan how will the idealogies will work. Can we leave the mankind's future to a toss! Imagine the toss will go to a person like Dhawood Ibrahim!!

2. He said that the invention of money was a sin! ... He is showing his ignorance in Economics too! How can we distribute wealth or power if there is no medium and no accountancy in place ?! ... Taking us to prehistoric days! People like him should not have become emotional in public. Sorry Mr Aravanan, a great Tamil Lover but a poor thinker!

Dr.K.P.Aravanan, a close friend of mine is midst of controversies nowadays. His alterations to Thirukural, universally known, had hurt the feelings of many Tamils including his personal friends like me. Aravanan, who spoke at Tiruchy when I was present, spoke on partyless democracy. That was propagated by Jayaprakash Narayan, and Dravida Peravai has endorsed it in its manifesto registerd with Election Commission of India. Party system is a curse, I admit, our electoral system is defective but the solution Dr.Aravanan offers has no rational base , which should not have emanated from any Tamil in Periyar's land which must have been redeemed from such practices long ago. Kudos to mt young, bold, imaginative friend Yuri Gagarin Chellathurai
