i remember reading that JK once said that his best achievement is the abolition of hand rickshaws in TN. can anyone shed more light on this?

Website for Tamil Writer Jayakanthan at http://www.jayakanthan.com

Well. Bharathi's words for Pudumai penn 'Nilathil yarukkum anja Gnana Serukku' applies to Jayakandan. He thinks differently always.

Lately the 'serukku' overshadows the 'Gnana'

jeyakandhan said"persons who boast of tamil is like dogs which lick its own leg".what do u feel about it.

Did jeyakandhan say anything of 'persons who boast' of another language?? I heard he boasted of Sanskrit and trampled on Tamil, and got himself into some hot soup. He wrote in Tamil right? And made tons of money right.

What a graceful writer, Mr Jeyakandhan! And you must be his fan!

It is better to lick your own leg!

Because, 'persons who boast of 'another' language are like dogs which licks another dog's a**!.

Last Dec I got lucky enough to attend his speech.He expressed his stand on many current controversies,including the arrest of sankaracharya, which suprised the audience.His logic was refreshing.I had'nt really thought about it that way.He blamed the entire legal system to be unjustified.Punishing criminals will never stop crimes.This idea, very communistic was followed by his confession,"Soviet union was my own illusion but America is the reality".I think no one else can give a more convincing definition for mothertongue(thaai mozhi) than JK, "the language that comes to us without having to learn it".He is beyond awards & rewards.

An interview with Jayakanthan.

[radikal]

I remember faintly that the action by TN govt was triggered by JK's writing.

[LottiFurmann]

Topic started by Sharan on Mon Dec 6 09:25:09 .


Anyone interested in discussing this writer's works in detail?

[Beerinkol]

[HedgeYourBets]

But i wonder why the Tamil media has been so cold to this announcement?Also the political parties which go on&on with their "Uyir Tamizhukku"routine.None of the them have said anything in particular.Even in this forum,this thread is so inactive.WHY?WHY?WHY?
