  For Sinthiya who doesn't know who is Anna..
  
  Anna was the founder of DMK and kalainjar and MGR are his followers.
  
  Anna had been CM of TN for just 2 years(1967-69) and died by cancer ,his funeral was a world record with gathering of 35 lakhs of people at merina beach.
  
  Anna's 2 years of rule was the Golden period of TN ,other than 9 years golden period of Perunthalaivar Kamaraj's rule.
  
  Anna was a humble politician ,respected even by his opposition.
  
  Anna was double MA ,both in Tamil and English .He was a great writer,spokesman and ofcourse a great leader ,the whole TN called him as 'Anna' with affection

  Not sure whether Anna's funeral record was broken later..But It was a guinness record then.
  
  

• From: selvakumar on Thu Feb 16 4:02:54 2006.

  I think this thread is a bit political.
  
  I would rate Mr Annadurai above any of these people. The logic is simple.
  
  * He never relied on the fame he earned through his cine life for growing up his political life.
  
  * Also his services to the tamil cinema came with some kind of social awareness.. In this path, he is a trend-setter.
  
  * He just used the cinema medium to send a clear message to the downtradden society at that time.
  
  * He never asked his followers to follow what he did in cinema and why he should be respected for that. In short, he grew upon his own principles and idealogies. NOwadays goons like vijaykanth principle relies on one simple thing - "Every decision will be taken by the leader vijaykanth" What about ordinary partyman.
  
  * He never spoiled the society by inserting sexy dialogues, clips etc in his cine life.
  
  * He never misused his followers to gain advantage in political life. All he wanted was to make them follow the principles.
  
  * He never ate "Gold powder" to keep him always young. Instead he lead a simple life.
  
  * He never took treatment in foreign hospitals.

• From: sgokulprathap on Thu Feb 16 5:54:41 2006.

  Main quality of a politician is he/she should have command to control his subordinates. And I think only JJ has that command in present day politics. I dono much abt the yesteryear poiticians.
  
  I hate Karunanidhi to the most. He always wants to promote his family and dont care abt other things.
  
  So Jayalalithaa is my alltime favourite.
  
  

• From: selvakumar on Thu Feb 16 6:14:15 2006.

  <digression>
  Gokul,
  If u consider Quality alone, then none of the people in this list will be able to rise their heads.
  
  TN won't have one more Kamarajar as CM.
  
  If u think that the primary quality of a politician is mere controlling, then I would rate "Laloo as a good politician and so do JJ".
  
  Also,
  "Honesty" and "Integrity" are the fine qualities that are required for a politician.
  NO one in this list will be able to present themselves as best examples for these two qualities IMHO.

  Annadurai is the one leader who can speak for hours together on any topic.
  
  One of his sentence is quite known. Once he was asked by certain people to give a sentence in English which should contain the word "Beacause" 3 times one after another.
  
  Can anyone know that here?

  Agreed Selva,
  
  As mentioned by you no one in the above list will come in this category. It is very hard to find a leader with the mentioned quality of yours.
  
  The only one who can fall in that category will be Kamarajar.

  To add to it / fine tune it,
  
  Nowadays also people speak for hours without any relevance. But he is one person who knows exactly what he speaks,
  
  I read this one from a magazine,
  
  (Nehru & Anna durai in a hot debate in Parliament over the Tamil language)
  
  Nehru: Why do u people want tamil to be made as the national language when only few people are using it?
  
  Anna: We have made tiger as our national animal. Does that mean tigers are present in large amount than any other animal? In my opinion, donkeys are also present in large numbers in India. Why don't u make it as the national animal?
  
  Nehru: ??????????????????????

  Great Selva. Actually this happened in a parliament session. At that time Anna was MP. He did not use the sentence as big as you said. He Just said.
  
  "So what. In our country Crows are larger in number than Peacock".
  
  No one in the parliament could open their mouth for this.

  Thanks for the correction anne.. May be the magazine that I referred could have exaggerated that one?
  
  Surely he is one person who has a great panchant for literature. Sad that he had only a short time as CM.

  There was nothing like degrading Annadurai along with other cine personalities.
  When we have a opinion we need to consider all the possiblities.
  
  I hope i am not starting any political debate. I am just giving here certain information i have come across. If there is something
  wrong please forgive me and correct me.
  
  As you mentioned, for the death of Annadurai huge number of people gathered. At that time it was a record. I am not sure whether it is
  a record even now.
  
  I am not sure how many people know this.
  Even for MGR the gathering was huge. Actually during the death of MGR in several places transportation was completely stopped.
  Otherwise it would have been huge that no one could imagine.
  
  I think Annadurai is the first one who used the popularity a of Cine Person very exclusively. He several times openly said that
  MGR is one of the reason for the growth of DMK. He is the one who used the term Idhayakani to refere MGR.
  Even at that time Sivaji was in Congress. But Kamaraj never made use of Shivaji's popularity for the political reason.
  During 1967 election they posted the picture of MGR in hospital(Shot in the throat) to gain the sympathy wave all across TN. That is
  one of the main reason Congress lost that election. The sad part is that Even Kamaraj lost to a Student in his home town. If Kamaraj would have continued for some more period, the corruption would not have been this much. This is one of the biggest mistake TN People would have ever made.

  Right. To be very frank he did not had much fame through his cine life. All his fame has to do with
  his other talents. But he used other People's fame. The one in particular is MGR.
  
  

  selvakumar wrote:

  * He never asked his followers to follow what he did in cinema and why he should be respected for that.

  
  
  I dont think anyone else would have said the same. I think MGR insisted his fans not to take alcohol and Cigaretes. I dont think
  that is wrong.
  
  

  selvakumar wrote:

  * He never spoiled the society by inserting sexy dialogues, clips etc in his cine life.

  
  
  Yes. Of course. First of all he had certain limits in his cine life. I am sure that you would have mentioned about Using Cigarettes
  and alcohol in movies if you would have been a MGR fan. Leave the Cine Dialogues. I dont remember any of the dialogues used by Annadurai
  in Cinema. There were rumours of Annadurai having affair with Banumathi. In a meeting or a press conf someone asked Annadurai about this.
  Annadurai said as follows.
  Banumathi ondrum Padi thaanda Pathiniyum illai,
  Naan onnum Yaegapathini Virathanum illai.
  ....
  Not remembering the full sentence.
  I hope this should be enough.
  
  
  

  selvakumar wrote:

  This particular thing cannot be suited for any Politician of TN except Kamaraj. Everyone made use of their followers to a
  certain extent. Of Course the level varies.
  
  
  

  selvakumar wrote:

  This is completely irrelevant. Every one knows that you refer to MGR. However I am not sure,how much concrete proof anyone has on this.
  Even if that is true, it is absolutely personal. If you hate/like a person for this reason, I dont know what to say.
  
  

  selvakumar wrote:

  * He never took treatment in foreign hospitals.

  
  
  Even this is not a quality or something i think. This depends on the circumstances.
  
  
  
  
  I too like Annadurai as a great Politician. The above things i mentioned is not to degrade him or whatsover. Everyone in this world
  has weakness. So as Anna/MGR/JJ/Karunanidhi.
  
  Annadurai has a very limited period as CM. Less than 2 years. In that, for a certain period Nedunchezian was working as the active CM
  as Annadurai was ill. That is why i did not put him in the top of my choice.
  
  My views on MGR and JJ in a later day.

  The particular statement he openly said. By the way the particular thing i mentioned as a answer to your thinking. Even these kind of statements may lead to different understanding with a certain set of people. That is what i meant. Nothing to degrade Anna. Even no one knows about the possiblity of that. So the particular sentence was needed to be mentioned.
  But the gold powder matter do u think has been openly discussed by that particular person.

  Anna got incomparable affection from all walks of the people ..Especially the whole students community then were crazy on Anna durai.
  
  Once voting agaisnt congress is treated as sin .In villages there must be one Pannaiyar (used to be congressman) and order people to vote for congress .But the youth support to Anna increased day by day ,DMK in every election started to own few seats and gradually in creased .
  
  It was Hindi agitation gathered the whole students and youth community coming under Anna .MGR sympathy is one reason for DMK's victory in that election. But the main reason is elders and so called pannayars didn't realise the power of students and youth..Almost every family youth became DMK supporters while their elders and parents were congress supporters ..They made fun on the new force of youth "Huh..chinna pasanga.." and thought the DMK youth had no experience to win gaint Congress ..But Youth worked like a strom ..That strom not only made a victory for DMK ,the sad part was Perunthalaivar Kamarajar was defeated by a student in his own home town ..
  
  Anna ,despite of his party's victory ,was very worried about kamaraj's defeat .Because he didn't go to Viruthunagar for election campaign and never wanted to defeat Kamarajar..But the local youth force worked hard and defeated kamarajar ..what a great loss for TN? I hate people who voted against Kamaraj for whatever reason.

  A small correction......It was the Late Sathyamurthy, a Statesman and freedom fighter who first brought people from the Fine Arts into Politics.He was chastised by Motilala Nehru for not having taken Gandhiji's message to rural Tamil Nadu.He decided to use people from the Tamil Stage for his processions and Protests...he found that crowds started to gather and thus was born the formula...he asked K.B.Sunderambal and Bhagavathar to canvas for the Congress......Rajaji was opposed to all this "koothadi Kumbal".....After the sad and sudden demise of Sathyamurthy NSK wanted to stand for elections under the congress, this was objected to.NSK was upset, quit the congress and embraced Periyar and later Anna .The DMK had Sivaji, K R Ramaswamy ,Kannadasan etc. Anna himself used to act in Plays. they were using the stage to popularise the "rationalist" movement.....something M R Radha was doing for Periyar all the time. MGR later joined the DMK and then they made political history.
  One of the earliest Cinema people to be made an MP was the late SS Vasan. There is a great book called CINEMA AND THE INDIAN FREEDOM STRUGGLE by a Gautham Kaul......do read it. It shows that the film industry had a tremdous role to play in the social struggles our country has had.
  A small addition....Anna did go to the USA for treatment.....this in no way diminishes his greatness. I am reminded of a quote made regarding the security arrangements made for gandhiji's travel by third class in the train ...."it costs the Government a lot of money to keep Gandhiji poor."

  Plain and Simple..Anybody who is eligible to vote,can contest too.
  
  Do you want to have a exam for all voters?
  
  

• From: Shakthiprabha. on Wed Feb 22 5:24:48 2006.

  They should. They should have exams (practical and theoritical)
  
  HOW CAN ANYONE CONTEST TO RULE THE NATION?
  
  Should not they have prior qualification.
  
  Moral attibutes like
  
  sympathy
  kindness
  tolerance SHOULD BE MUST.
  
  knowledge of
  
  global economy
  national economy
  foreign exchange
  civics
  history
  geography
  
  
  etc is MUST.
  
  Practical exam SHOULD INCLUDE, they going and serving 2 to 3 villages(staying there with no extra facilities) and improving the conditions.
  
  IF at all ppl can implement all these, WE WONT BE SEEING INDIA AS CORRUPTED AS IT IS NOW.
  
  We require KNOWLEDGE and other prerequisites for EVEN MINUTE tasks and tasks of meagre importance.
  
  We are gonna give an entire nation(or village or taluk or whatever) to the decision of individual.
  
  Is it not of EXTREME importance to hand it to the right individual?
  
  TOmmorrow even I can contest election if I am of a stipulated age. How weird!
  
  Just being a citizen and living in this country for x no. of years makes us FIT To rule ppl.
  
  CRAP. ABSURD.
  
  Wonder when such changes would happen world wide.

  In noway I am arguing on cine contestants capacity alone. I just told a different view on making politics a better stage.
  
  IF U CAN read and understand(probably a poorly communicated messege), I am sure you would have grasped, that, all I wanted to was to point out THERE CAN BE better way to enter politics. WHETHER A PERSON IS IN CINE INDUSTRY OR ANY INDUSTRY, MOST PPL who contest are right now not really qualified.
  
  A person to point out, NEED NOT HAVE ALL THE SAID QUALITIES. Me contesting in election or not, IS NOT ANYBODY'S PROBLEM NOW . If i do contest I SHALL REMEMBER TO TELL YOU. Thanks for suggesting.

  Chance are given to literates and illiterates. Most illiterates DONT KNOW how to use it. (KINDLY REMOVE ME OUT OF PICTURE. IS THAT CLEAR?) When laws make it mandatory to ENTER the contest with certain prerequisites, THE CHANCES of illiterates faultering becomes less.

  No scale to measure. Anyone wiht LIL intellect can ofcourse differentiate, ppl who are into selfless service and ppl who are into money making business.
  
  The question is not about measuring attributes, BUT getting them used to doing society's service (which they INTEND to do after labelling themselves as leaders).
  
  Noone can measure MANAGERIAL ABILITY. Dont they conduct test and other attibutes test to recruit THEM to the post? Dont they mention x,y,z leadership qualities are needed to stick to the post?

  Adding to the long list of film personalities taking a plunge to politics is popular director R V Uthayakumar.
  
  A veteran in the industry, Uthayakumar on Tuesday joined AIADMK in the presence of Chief Minister and AIADMK supremo J Jayalalithaa.
  
  It may be recalled that the likes of Senthil, Vijayakumar, Murali, Manobala and Liyakath Ali Khan have joined the AIADMK in less than a couple of weeks time. A star-studded team from Kollywood is gearing up to campaign for the AIADMK in the forthcoming Assembly polls.

  Sarath against party? – Excitement at fan club conference
  - 28.02.2006
  
  “Sarath will launch his own party soon.” Looks like what Karthik said at the ‘Thalaimagan’ function will soon be coming true.
  
  For the past few months, Sarath has not been happy with the goings on in the party.
  
  His fans are fuming that he is not being invited to important meetings. In spite of being a DMK MP, he introduced his own flag, leading to such rumours.
  
  During election time, not only actors like Vijayakanth and Karthik, but also smaller actors like Senthil, Murali and Anandraj are going around displaying their might at general meetings. Sarath Kumar wants to show that he’s no less a personality. So, a massive fan club meeting/conference has been organized for the coming 11th at Tuticorin.
  
  Even though it is supposed to be the fifteenth anniversary of Sarath’s fan club, it is quite clear that this will also reveal his might as a crowd puller. Sarath believes this conference will give him a good standing in the party. If not, it can be used as a stepping stone to starting a new party.
  
  About 2 lakhs of fans are expected to participate in the function. There seems to be a grand vision of getting Sarath to travel in a 1000 car motorcade leading to the dais at the venue.
  
  Whatever be the outcome, Tuticorin is all set for the human onslaught on March 11th!

But one guy who just flares up at the mention of joining this circus is the otherwise composed Vadivelu. Try asking him this question and guess what he would say? “ Vandhuttangayya, vandhuttanga, en pozhappula manna allipoda, vandhuttangayya. Ayya, rasa, naan nalla irukkarathu pudikkalaya.

  Rajini will support ADMK – Vijayakanth has vote bank
  - 02.03.2006
  Cinesouth.com
  
  More than who will come to power in the forthcoming elections, the people are interested in the actors and actresses supporting what party.
  
  The predictions of spiritual leader Ashokji are supposed to generally come true according to many VIPs. Congress will establish power in the centre, BJP will bite the dust, actor Raj Kumar will be saved alive, Rajinikanth will support DMK, Vijayakanth will enter politics, a tsunami will happen and many other predictions from Kashmir to Kanyakumari have come true.
  
  He has foretold the past, present and future for many VIPs and politicians. When Raj Kumar was held captive by Veerappan, it seems the yagam Ashokji conducted in his house helped get Raj Kumar back. Murali joining ADMK is also supposed to be on the advice of Ashokji.
  
  Ashokji runs the Atma Foundation in Palani. In Chennai yesterday, he had a great deal to say about the political and film field to reporters. According to Ashokji, the PMK will join ADMK but the DMK will only win, Rajinikanth will give voice for ADMK, and even though Vijayakanth’s party has an impressive vote bank, they won’t be able to get even a single seat.
  
  He predicts that though DMK will win, the govt will last only 2 ½ years and ADMK will be back in power and though Jayalalitha has chances to even become the prime minister after 2008, she will have to undergo lots of hardships till then.
  
  Ashokji is very certain that the political sphere in Tamilnadu is very much in the hands of actors and actresses. Finally, Ashokji predicted that the next superstar is Vijay!
  
  For the concerned people, Ashokji’s predictions may be like the Palani prasadam, but for others…?

Ashokji is very certain that the political sphere in Tamilnadu is very much in the hands of actors and actresses. Finally, Ashokji predicted that the next superstar is Vijay! For the concerned people, Ashokji’s predictions may be like the Palani prasadam, but for others…? __________________________________________________ I'm just curious guys !!! What if none of these predictions comes true ??? What'll happen to Mr. Ashokji then ?? Pls help me by clearing this !!

  Well. Regarding this predictions, I would like to state one thing..
  
  
  Till now, HOROSCOPES of Ajith and vijay are not out yet like Rajini and KH.
  
  I know the horoscopes of both RK AND KH
  
  As per RK's horoscope, he is in Saturn dhisa > Venus bukthi..
  
  Venus governs "KALAI THURAI".. Also, as per RK's horoscope, Venus is responsible for his professional life. So, NO wonder RK chose to act in Shivaji earlier. In the past, we did see huge gap in his movies. But this time.
  
  After that comes, SATURN dhisa > Surya bukti.. Sun governs Politics... Also, RK is a Leo ascendant. After Surya bukti, there comes, chandra bukti and Sevvay bukti.
  
  RK has a speial Yoga called "Chandra-Mangala' Yoga. People who know Astrology knows about this Yoga very well.. A unique one.. which we can see in JJ's horoscopes.. And many popular people.
  
  So, during these SUN - MOON - MARS bukti's RK might influence the politics in TN.
  
  This is my opinion.
  
  Ashokji - this person should first get the Horoscope of AJITH / VIJAY before predicting their future

  Rangit machi !!
  
  It is only a prediction.. It is not my opinion.
  
  The same "CHANDRA-MANGALA" yoga did the magic for JJ during 1991 elections.. (I read it in the old Astrology books)..

  Election fever!
  
  By Moviebuzz | Saturday, 11 March , 2006, 09:49
  
  The election fever in Tamilnadu has slowed down the Kodambakkam film industry as releases are coming down to a trickle. Big movies are trying their best not to have release during this period as some of them will make it to the theatres only after May 8 (Election Day).
  
  Most of the superstars like Rajnikanth, Kamal Hassan, Vijay and Vikram are also trying their best to be out of the state during this period. Rajnikanth wants to shoot for Sivaji in Japan at this time and is also avoiding any people contact as politicians want to be seen on the same stage with him!
  
  Kamal is planning to go to US to take a close look at the latest make-up technologies for his forthcoming film Dasavatharam. Both the actors are particular not to be seen or identified with any political outfit even with their own colleague Vijaykanth’s DDMK.
  
  The only big April release is to be Ajit’s Tirupati with Vetayadu Vilayadu and Puthupet, likely to be postponed to May end. There is a feeling that people are more interested in election alliances and talking about politics than movies, as the election bug will hit the state by mid-April when campaigning will be in full swing.

  Very Very Sensible on the part of the actors !!!

  Sarath Kumar’s conference woes in Tuticorin
  - 13.03.2006
  
  The place was full of flags, festoons and twinkling lights. It looked like we had stumbled into a political party meeting. But Sarath Kumar corrected us. It was a fan club meeting, not a party conference.
  
  About one lakh of fans had crowded together for the function and Sarath arrived exactly at 8.10 in his car. After he was honored as is usual, with a life size garland and floral crown, one after another they took the mike.
  
  There’s already a complaint against Sarath Kumar that he’s talking against DMK, and every word he speaks on stage is measured.
  
  “I have not come to make political propaganda. I have come for disbursing welfare schemes, though it may appear otherwise to some.” Who is this some? Karunanidhi? Vijayakanth?
  
  He spoke more about caste feelings than about Karunanidhi. When he said, “I grew up seeing films of MGR,” it looked like this DMK MP was putting some ice on ADMK party too!
  
  The arrangement was for Sarath to disburse welfare schemes to the tune of 21 lakhs. But the dais could not support the weight and collapsed and all on stage had minor bruises. Sarath Kumar was hurt in his ankle. Upset by the collapse of the dais, Sarath asked the organizers to take care of the schemes and left.
  
  Even the dais understood that Sarath and politics don’t gel together. Has Sarath understood that?

  Sarath’s mishap. Radhika Shocked!!
  March 13, 2006
  
  About fifty people including Actor Sarath Kumar were hurt when the stage from which Sarath Kumar was to address his fans, an excited crowd of some twenty thousand people, collapsed on Saturday. Luckily, the actor was whisked away seconds after the collapse. Reports tell that Sarath Kumar had only minor bruises. Though there was security around the stage, the milling crowd simply couldn’t be controlled. The ropes that were holding the stage gave way. A sudden downpour added to the confusion. With the ropes that were tied to a nearby transformer structure pulling down, there was a short circuit in the grid. It had to be shut down immediately. A pandemonium broke in the darkness.
  
  When we contacted Sarath Kumar’s residence, there was no one to give the exact picture. Radhika Sarath Kumar is shocked. Obviously.

  Sarath unhappy!
  
  By Moviebuzz | Friday, 17 March , 2006, 09:55
  
  Sarath Kumar is an unhappy man. His political career is heading no where as he feels stifled inside the DMK and his last release Chanakya was pretty lukewarm at the box-office.
  
  Sarath is one of the most efficient organizers who has a grass root level support. In the Nadar community, he has tremendous clout and recently nearly a Lakh people turned up when he organized a fan meet in Tuticorin.
  
  There is a feeling that Sarath would be the right choice to lead the Nadar community which has no representation in union cabinet. Sarath was quoted as saying- “Although I believe that there should be no discrimination based on religion and caste, I feel very strongly about my community”.
  
  For the coming elections Sarath Kumar will be campaigning in only select constituencies for DMK led DPA. Meanwhile it looks like his film Khaki has been scrapped. He is now shooting for two films- His home production Thalaimagan and Gautham Menon’s Vilai Uyirendraalum. And on Thursday he launched a new film Vaitheeswaran with Meghna Naidu as heroine.
