It goes to show that even mannequins can win elections in India, when contested with a caste label. DMK was a party that stood for social justice. but with cheap antics like this, it shows politics, in any case, is a stinking ditch. If they were so desperate to apeace the Nadar community, they could have chosen one from so many noble men amongst them, who have served the society, and not just their community.
When this lady's husband was alive and going on a killing spree, this women was a spectator. Knowing a crime and not reporting makes one as guilty as a criminal. That way people have elected a criminal as their MP. Well, that is not news to us anyway. That is people's power for you. Democracy, as provided by our constitution. Finally it leads to one nadar interviewing another nadar on national media.
While caste has been banned even in our constitution, am wondering what pride and pleasure do people derive in adding their caste names along with theirs? Any person worth his salt will not do that. I see only cheap personalities still using their caste names.
