Selective Amnesia There was a point to this. But I forgot.

Quote

“The problem with people is that they don’t look at the big picture. Eventually, we’re each going to die, our species will go extinct, the sun will explode, and the universe will collapse. Existence isn’t only temporary, it’s pointless! We’re all doomed, and worse, nothing matters!”
~Calvin (& Hobbes)

Libertarianism no more taboo

Well, at least as a word.

On Tamil separatism

This blog, and some others, have seen requests, and hosted posts on a separate Tamil nation. I, for one, support the cause. But here’s how to do it, smartly.

Firstly, no use being a sovereign country, independent of the clutches of the Hindi India, if you don’t have enough space around you. Which means, the new nation-state of Tamilagam will necessarily be a large country, and comprise of the provinces that were taken away from it, forcibly, by the bigots, after Indian independence.
Which means, New Tamilagam will begin to the North of Bangalore, and include in its fold areas such as Coorg, Chitoor, Nellore, Tirupati, all of Kerala, Srilanka, Singapore, Malaysia and perhaps, western Australia. Goa will be Tamilagam’s outpost, with Bengal paying us taxes. (I shall be benevolent and agree to 1356 as the day from which taxes are to be retrospectively collected)

OK. Here’s how to do it. First, all Tamils in Bangalore (that’s close to 76% of the population, including a Mr. K.R. Aadishtan) begin buying up land, all the way from Bannerghetta Road to Hosur Main road, and continue till you reach Katpadi Junction. Consolidate all of this land under one name – Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan. I shall then choose to recognize only the jurisdiction of Tamil Nadu for all purposes. Which would extend present Tamil Nadu borders up to Bangalore.

We will repeat the process in Kerala. Buy up land on either side of the border, consolidate it under my name and refuse to acknowledge the alien government. Keep pushing the borders till we reach the sea. Now, turn northwards. Nellore, Tirupati and, what the hey, throw in Vishakapatnam too, will need to be ‘consolidated’ too.

Next step – Establish an alternate government. We all know that a monopoly is inefficient because it undersupplies at a price point. So is the monopoly called Government. Fight it! We’ll set up an alternate governing body, based on the lines of the Chola monarchy (with democratic, independent village bodies), with me as the RajaRajan. Once I assume power, I shall decree that the so called Democratic government is but a stooge of the Hindi speakers. And call for the ‘mara tamizhan’ to come forth, save the karpu of the land from these puppets of the Hindi overlords.

That should, I think, do the trick.

P.S: Real life, real time incident. All truth, no embellishment. In Munnar is a hill called the Kolukkumalai. Right on top of the hill is the Kolukkumalai Tea estate. The owners of which are the Ayyan Firecrackers Company – a Tamilnadu organisation. Now, though the hill started off as ‘belonging’ to Kerala, it comes under TN regulations, taxes and rent-control inclusive.
