Do you agree with Jayalaithaa talking about a separate Eelam?
No, I don't agree at all. No government is going to do it. The Congress, the BJP and the Communists will be against it. And, it will not be done. I don't agree with the Tamil Nadu politicians at all.
Then, Pakistan can say, they want to liberate Kashmir or divide it as a Hindu Kashmir and a Muslim Kashmir
--------------------------
He is comparing kashmir issue with srilankan issue. What he don't know is, in kashmir people are having equal rights and even have their own law (muslim law) and more rights (only kashmire can buy land in kashmir).
But in srilankan, tamils don't have equal rights and that is the reason the ethinic war broken. Tamils initially started protesting in gandhian way but, after army started killing and raping tamils then, tamils took weapons to defend themself ...
If india can intervene internal matters of pakistan to create bangaladesh then, they can do the same for srilankan tamils also ...
With the entry of the Kongunadu Munnetra Peravai (KNMP) into the election fray, the action in some constituencies in Coimbatore belt has taken an interesting turn. The contest in the area is a case in point. All major parties have so far campaigning, but the one who is going to eat into the votes of the major political parties is the KNMP which is espousing the cause of the community.
After the state govt had neglected the Kongu (Coimbatore) region for a long time in development aspects, it has become a battleground of the Gounders..
KNMP’s candidates are in the forefront and observers point out, KNMP will give all other candidates a run for their money.
While the issues of the community are going to dictate the voting pattern, developmental issues, too, are going to sway the electorate.
The Gounders have all along felt they have been short-changed and the KNMP is trying to drive home this point.
The Coimbatore region being an agrarian & Industrial belt, issues such as reasonable prices for agricultural produce, mainly copra & lack of infrastructure development have cropped up often. Now both the major parties DMK & ADMK are campaigning against KNMP. But the winner will be one & only KNMP. SO CAST YOUR VOTE FOR KNMP

A very articulate and balanced interview. Cho is very positive and intelligent on his outlook.
I think BJP is secular beyond any numbers. The fence sitters litmus test for secularism 150 secular and 150- is communal is funny but a real truth. In fact the great protectors of secularims(cong and CPM) is playing the worst communal cards. Look in Kerala, IUML is truly secular and they are the second biggest in UDF there and they were also part of UPA in central. Tell me when was a non muslim member of IUML last time. Is it the same true with BJP ?
CPM suckular tricks in Kerala is another eye opener. In the last election CPM alliance or election support of NDF which is an umbrella for terrorist activity lead by the hard core Muslim terrorist Abdul Nazar Madani. Who he is and what his history ? He was in Coimbatore jail for the last 9 years for planning the coimbatore bomb blast which killed many.
This is what the true secularism practice by the suckulars. Cong and CPM fight in public and mate in private. People of India should reject this unholy practice.
If BJP as a national party protect the nation and its people, take the country developed more than what India achieved in 60 years of cong misrule by the Nehru clan then we should support BJP. BJP should stay away from dividing the people in the name of relegion as cong did for the last 60 years.
BJP should practice their mantra 'party with a difference' in the true spirit.

Cho's comments on Rahul kind of over boosted. Why ? His achievemnt at his age of 40 is subpar. None in the Nehru clan was underperformed. IG, RG(weak personality still had a life and family), Sanjay all perforemd much better at this age. May his mom's gene has more control on him. How far a bar dancer family should inherit someting potent.
Rahul political future is further doomed by the heavy weight second generation in BJP waiting. Bulldoser like Modi will crush any Nehru weeds without any mercy. Even his cousin is enough to take his wings. Let us wait and see. The good thing is this should be the end of dynastic politics on our democracy. Congress will be buried and new political entities should form with better idea.
JO BOLE SO NIHAAL. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Rocks. The whole world applauds the way he along with his cabinet ministers handled the global economic crisis. India is very close to become the fastest developing nation in the world overtaking China. We do not want to screw this up by having 3rd front or BJP leading our country. Now that Pakistan is going to split into numerous small countries, we have to be extra careful that we stay united.

Vijehner, U r right. Congress made sure that India progresses well as a democratic and secular nation. Unlike our struggling neigbours, India is on the path to become a developed nation. Thanks to the good governance we had in last 60 years. If we had BJP ruling us for few more years, India would have been split into different 50 countries. Brahmins wud have Brahminstan, Dalits wud have Dalitstan, Kshatriya wud have kshatriyastan, rajputstan, madrasistan, andhrastan, mallustan and so on. We Indians do not want the service of cunning and fraud leaders of BJP. pagiztan requires the service of Advani and other BJP leaders. Please quit our country and go to pagiztan.

You are not thinking for country... just a state or community. We need strong leaders and not a party to lead the country.
Cho's analysis of polls or politics always bend towards brahministic way of thinking. Its wrong when he says Bankrupt Junk Party will become secular if it gets majority, it is a way to know whom he supports and what he wishes his party to be, but this is not going to happen. Bankrupt Junk party will live on the blood of Minorities. One think which I support is that "Fake Captain" vijaykanth will split AIADMK's votes which will work in DMK's favor, but PMK and MDMK give AIADMK the advantage. DMK can win only if Karuna and his White doti's are super smart with the numbers, may be he is banking on Tamil people's knowledge of JAYA as a instablising and blackmailing figure when she reaches Delhi.

C,mon, you don't even understand by what he means that the BJP will become secular if it gets 170 seats!! n you are making baseless arguments. Try to look at it from an outsider's point of view, you might understand. He means if BJP gets less than 150 seats, the parties of the 3rd, 4th, 5th...fronts will term it communal again, because they know that the BJP is not going to come to power, but if it secures more than 170 - 180 seats, their tally will go to around 220 with alies, they have a good chance to for mthe govt. that is the time when these "dal badlus" will say that we support the BJP because they are secular :D

Tamil Issue is a Dravidian "Dark" colored people Issue, hence Brahmin like Cho will never understand the sentiments. He will continue to make it as an non issue. This is his convenience in media talk. The Tamil issue is about the honor and preserving the culture of the once powerful Tamil community and heritage which he is totally against. Hypothitically, if Tamil Nadu was to declare independence, then Cho knows he has no place in the real lives of Tamils.

Brahmins in Tamil Nadu are no more castiest - it is castes such as Thevars, Vanniyars, Reddiars, etc., who are totally castiest. Brahminbs do not depend on any Government jobs - you will not find them begging for government jobs. You will also not find them unemployed and registering under 'unemployed graduates' list. Brahmins have moved on beyond castes. However, the other communities are still wallowing in caste feelings. It is really disappointing.
