T.R.Jawahar's description of DMK's 'Parinaama valarchi'

Kalaingar K’s dilemmas are legendary. At the personal level, no amount of rationalism has been able to settle certain ‘issues’. Disposing of the Marans was easy. But choosing from Azhagiri, Stalin and Kanimozhi and their progeny is turning out to be a tough call even for someone who has handled the mothers of many such dilemmas with ease. Politically too, with elections round the corner, it’s dilemma time again: Have all the bridges ...sethus ... been burnt with Lord Ram’s own party, BJP? Or should the Roman holiday continue? And with the familiar tiger rearing its head again, is there a way out by which he can play protector of SL Tamils without being dubbed anti-national? Trust the ultimate rationalist to come up trumps. Really, arresting Vaiko, the familiar fall guy, had never posed a dilemma to any CM. Having thus established his patriotic credentials, how now to ‘save’ the SL tamils and make the SL army shudder in their military fatigues? Lo, a human chain, that’s it! But from cycle chains, that’s truly a sterling evolutionary growth (parinama valarchi) indeed and a peaceful resolution of the dangerous dravidian dilemma!
