karunanidhi did a lot good to tamil people(i am no tamil). he might be a greedy person saving everything for his family, but tamils will remember him for many centuries from now. he stood up for tamil identity like no other in face of great adversity from many quarters. it did hurt brahmin tamils though, who are no less tamil than the rest of them. tamils need to search for better leadership after his death who can provide stable leadership for their state and make sure it stays united.
