Manusmriti 3.57 says: शोचन्ति जामयो यत्र विनश्यत्याशु तत् कुलम्। न शोचन्ति तु यत्रएता वर्ध ते तद्द हि सर्वदा॥
“Where the daughters sorrow, the lineage/family/household is soon destroyed. Where they do not sorrow, there is always prosperity.” [Jaama means 'daughter'; hence jaamaataa is 'son-in-law'.which is the synonym of Hindi Damaad ] This may not be an apt quote to recall in the present case of Vadra choosing a right family. But, surely, the daughters and sons of Bharatam are grieving with what Gurumurthy calls 'wrong money' ruling the roost. In-law money is another story. Kalyan
The contrasting tale of two sons-in-law

Congrats to Express and guru for this fine article. Srinivasan is hounded because he is a Madrasi. Why as IPL chairman,Shukla is continuing? Why Jaitely is continuing in IPL committee. If Srini has to go, then all these fellows must be thrown out. law must be equal to all. how betting, fixing etc, happened without the knowledge of IPL chairman, shukla? the electronic media mafia, is after srini's blood

Mohan tambhi ettani kaalam thaan Karuna vai pol azuvai ? (ippadikku Talai Nagar Vaaz Tamizan) Guru Don't you see after Kejriwal's expose Rober Vadra is removed from his driver's duty to Gandhi family. Srinivasan will lose his Presidentship but Rober Vadra's follies might have snached away the PMship of Rahul. Guru why your client Gadkari gave up his office as BJP President inspite of clean chit offered by you, did he doubted your report ? Guru please update on the 300 lines illegal Telephone exchange which was functioning from Maran's residence. Did any GM telephone lost his job ? waiting for a follow up from your end and please do some thing so that SC orders a time bound enquiry so that Maran is not able to contest forthcoming LS polls and crores lost is recovered from owners of Sun network

It's sad that phrases such as "Madrasi" is being used. Its sadder still to attribute motives saying he is being targeted for being a South Indian. Defend him if you want by all means but don't attribute motives to others. btw AK made a few more charges against other political parties as well.

Why even Arnob Goswamy and Headlines Today failed to ask this simple question about Pawar's double standard?

Such things make my blood boil. I'm sure others too feel betrayed and cheated when such hypocrisy is shown in full public light without anyone standing up against it. And then they say India is suffering from brain-drain! Who'd want to live in India when such things are becoming a daily routine? These thieves have ruined one of the greatest nations!

"Some are more equal than others."A voice protesting the abasement of all the agencies of public life before an incubus like thing is itself a relief. India is a pathosis., kurup

Twenty years back, Robert Vadra,an unknown man in the streets.He makes crores of money.Reason everyone knows.the IAS officer who exposed this is getting punishment transfers one after the other.After Sita,Savitri, Anasuya,Arundhati,Draupadi....We have Sonia.What a great shame? Gurunath Mayyappan is a grandson of AVM Chettiar,who is well known all over south in the last 60 years.Mr.Srinivasan may be known in the last 20 years or so.It is great North/South divide.Mrs.Janaki refused Padma Bhushan precisely for this reason.All Tamils and south Indians must protest this leaving party affiliations.Srinivasan,Please do not Resign.

Gurumurthy Sir, Thanks for the article. If there is any channel which claims that they do good journalism, then they should carry this article so that it can reach out to people at large

Till the investigating agencies are freed from serving the vested interests of the ruling party, our country has to suffer this kind of distracting strategy to safeguard the culprits at the higher levels.

The author missed to cite Ajit pawar,king pin of irrigation scam is a kin of sharad pawar who himself involved in many scams &silencing the concerned political parties by offering political alliances .The fact is North indian lobby is dead against south indians than white Europeons.It is high time to divide india.

The issue every one is missing is if IPL probed from beginning it will engulf DLF and even may be the threads of IPL may reach the door steps of Vadra.Understand IPL 1st 5 yrs was called DLF IPL league and during the 1st 5 yrs of DLF IPL league there was whispers about some thing rott . 2nd has this Srinivasan issue has some thing to do with DMK.Yes Srinivasan is known to be close to the 1st family of DMK .Yes every thing else do agree to the author of the article. Crony Capitalism in larger India is also seen in Mini India IPL.

whatever is being brought out through all types of media in our country nothing going to happen permanently. It is only temporary action of resignation/termination/suspension. The same person will again rise to the occasion with higher degree of power. What happened in earlier incidents like Salman Khursheed is well known to each one of us. Public attention will be diverted from one to another and importance will go. Memory of the people is also short. That is why Congress is waiting for the best opportunity to announce the general election with a hope to come to power by hook or crook.

Congress always wins because of weak opposition. The Congress Chief had audacity to call BJP a corrupt party when K'taka polls were held. Why ? BJP failed to undertake corrections in time. It similarly failed in Himachal & Uttarakhand but reaped harvest of people's disgust with Congress in Goa elections. But, there was another news involving 'National Herald' a news-paper supposed to have been started by J L Nehru. Was it not appropriated by JLN's daughter-in-law? The point is, since Indira Gandhi ascension to seat of power, the Congress party itself has been appropriated as family concern of this one single most powerful family of India. Author tirelessly speaks of this. It now has someone heading family concern, unconnected to Indian Independence struggle. In Italy too, levels of underworld activities, corruption etc. are high. Our Nation has seen many kings. Kings saw no difference between state's treasury & personal properties and enjoyed lives, king-size. It's in all our blood.

Whatever be the case, surprisingly opposition , BJP is very silent and it needs Aravind and his AM Admi party needs to raise the issue, Indian media is biased as usual but what prevents the party with difference to raise to the occasion.? THe result as it shown in opinion polls, the third front emerging rather than main opposition party. Regret to write that nothing going to happen even after election as the one with money and power will manage the system so easily and the ordinary will remain the same
