Dear Raman Verma

I am not a Tamilian, so I am not aware of the specific case that you are talking about. But on the point that "Can anyone tell what good  Dr. Subramanian Swamy has done to the Society" - I have the following to say:

1. It was Dr.  Swamy who was almost singularly responsible in convincing the Chinese (Deng Xiao Ping) to allow Indian tourists to visit the sacred Mt. Kailas - that King of Pilgrimages that Hindus lost access to after the Communists in China turned hostile towards India.

2. It was Dr. Swamy who filed a petition in the Supreme Court and got a Stay on the Sethu Samudram project thus protecting the Sentiments of Hindus. Ofcourse, his opposition does not mean that he is against economic progress, not at all, he has also included in his petition an alternative proposal that would be more meaningful. In fact the very same proposal was made by the Planning Commission of India as well, in place of the current Sethu Samudram project - but the same was (illegally) ignored by Sonia and Karunanidhi.

3. Dr. Swami is a great proponent and defender of free speech. See his survival kit on defamation suits:

4. Dr. Swami is a brilliant Satistician, Economist and Advocate (he argues all his cases personally, does not engage a lawyer). In his youth he has exposed the plagiarim resorted to by the then ISI boss Dr. Mahalanobis (who was a favourite of Nehru) and thus earned a seat in the Harvard University. He is a brilliant academic.

I am no fan or follower of Dr. Swami, but just wanted to show the other side of the coin as well, mainly because we are living in an era where even the media has its own prejudices and we often miss listening to the other side of the story. As citizens with the right to vote we need to be watchful of the machinations of the political parties as well as the media, we need to stay sufficiently informed and take our independent decision.

It is not that I wish to preach, only wanted to note some facts. I respect your right to differ.

Best Regards
Vajrapani

Dear Raman Verma 1947
You are obviously either a stupid idiot or a sleazy corrupt operator.

How can you even question the value of self-less crusading against corruption? Dr. Swamy is a rarity -- an honest, decent, upright politicains. Most other politicians in India are corrupt and unethical, feathering their personal nests by misusing, misappropriating and taking kickbacks that damage public good. To name a few, Bofors, Enron....the list is endless.

Dr. Swamy has dedicated his life to cleaning the system -- what have you done for the country exactly? Concerned Citizen

Mr.Verma is absolutely right in branding Dr. Swamy as a nuisance character. He has been a perennial source of nuisance. He has been thinking that he is the most intellectual person in India. He must be taken into custody and enquired as to how he has come into possession of the CDs.  The Public at large are interested to know who are all behind this episode. The Government must not be cowed down by his threats that he will be releasing some more CDs
