Tamilians and in general South Indians are the dreamy type and so are easily influenced by the 'Filmdom', especially of the Kollywood variety. So no wonder, politicians who wanted to disrupt, used 'films and the business of making films' for usurping power. After Congress, it is the film fraternity that has held power in this state.
And for the first time it has moved away. But alas, it has gone to the person who practices, sycophancy. An unelected individual, who till recently was seen as always subservient to the iconic leader who died in Nov '16, has called herself as the Lioness and is taking vows in public. She is boldly challenging the status quo and is using the system to control. She is least bothered about conventions and rule books. Her dummies, are the appointed power centres today and have plans to operate that way.
Should she succeed, it would be a confirmation of the general belief, of the way in which power centres function.
That would be a travesty on the entire effort to cleanse the system of convicted corrupt people and demoralising those who go after them.
I am disappointed and now angry. Yes. I do not like the way systems can be manipulated to one family's advantage. I would in my capacity resist and lend voice, to those sane forces which condemn this.
