Oct. 27 - Nov. 2, 2012 MAMBALAM TIMES ‘Help the people, shift the capital’ By P. Sabanayagam, IAS (Rtd.) (Reprinted from Madras Musings) Madras, now called Chennai, has been the focal centre of administration for the last three centuries and more. Consequently, there has been a steady flow of people from all directions to Chennai. In recent decades, on account of commendable development, be it economic, social, commercial, etc, the flow of people to Chennai has increased at a higher rate than ever before and includes people not only from the districts, but also from neighbouring States and from the northern regions of India. The population of Chennai within Corporation limits now runs into several millions. The density of the population, say, within a 10-km radius of the Government Secretariat is particularly high – consequently problems faced by the people – be they drinking water, garbage accumulation, sewage and drainage blocks, traffic congestion, accidents, etc – are increasing. Action is being taken by the Government – desalination plants to provide drinking water, clearing garbage, etc, metro and mono rail for people to travel comfortably and quickly, and so forth. However the fact remains that the inflow of people is unabated. A McKinsey report says, “While India’s cities continue to generate growth they fall short of delivering a basic standard of living to their residents across all major quality of life indicators.” Hence, apart from trying to solve the above mentioned problems, which will continue to grow, is it not necessary to see if the inflow of people to Chennai, which is the main cause of the problems, can be reduced and thereby control density? Chennai is the capital of the State and, therefore, the Legislature, the High Court and some Subordinate Courts, and all State Executive Departments are located here. Commercial and financial activity is concentrated in Chennai. Apart from those working in these offices and, therefore, having to live in Chennai and suburbs, all those in Tamil Nadu having to do businesses with these offices have to come to Chennai and, in the process, face several problems. Before re-organisation of the States in mid-1950s, Madras that is now Chennai was the capital of Madras Presidency which included eight Teluguspeaking districts in the north and two districts on the west coast, namely Malabar and South Kanara. Once reorganisation took place in 1952, Madras continued to remain the capital of Tamil Nadu. But while Andhra is only 40 miles from Chennai, the distance of southern districts of Tamil Nadu is upto 500 miles from Chennai! Hence, logistically, the capital being in Chennai is not right. Therefore, from the standpoint of logistics as well as on account of more important problems faced by the people of Chennai, would not the need for shifting the capital from Chennai be meaningful and indisputable? In 1974 or so, I had led a team for discussions with the Planning Commission in Delhi and had a separate meeting with P N Haksar I.C.S., Deputy Chairman, Planning Commission. My deep concern then was the severe drinking water shortage, as the monsoon had failed. Aware of the steady increase in the density of Chennai’s population, there was no doubt that whenever the monsoon fails the drinking water situation will be critical. It therefore occurred to me why not shift the capital from Chennai to Tiruchi where the Cauvery River is perennial and also where large tracts of dry land towards Pudukottai would be available for development. When I proposed this, Haksar was most receptive and he said the Planning Commission would allot around Rs. 7000 crore over a period of 3-5 years for setting up the capital at Tiruchi. On return to Madras, I informed the Government, but no action was taken. Fortunately, in 1982 or so, when M.G. Ramachandran was Chief Minister, he publicly declared that the Capital would be shifted from Madras to Tiruchi. Unfortunately action was not taken. Today, the overall situation in Chennai in regard to what has been mentioned above is even more deplorable – poor people, particularly those liv- Sign placed on flyover to guide motorists Before After By Our Staff Reporter Following the suggestion made in the report ‘Second wing of Rangarajapuram flyover inaugurated’ published last week that a sign be placed at the Y-intersection to guide motorists, a sign has been placed at the spot. The road on the left leads to Subramaniam Street, West Mambalam via Railway Border Road and the right to Kodambakkam Railway Station. Earlier, motorists were confused as to which arm to take to reach their destination. ing in lanes, slums etc., are suffering – drinking water scarcity, environment-related diseases, increasing traffic-related accidents, etc. To help the people there seems to be no alternative but to shift the capital – the Legislature, the Secretariat and all heads of Executive Departments, the High Court, State and Public Sector Corporations, etc. This would reduce the flow of immigrants and population density. Once this bold decision is taken, a proper project has to be prepared and funds allocated from the Centre, lands acquired and overall development commenced. All this will take several years. The shifting of the offices can be done gradually. Therefore, should not the decision to shift the capital to Tiruchi be taken now? (Mr. Sabanayagam is a former Chief Secretary to Tamilnadu Government. While agreeing with him of the need to decongest Chennai, it is the view of Anna Nagar Times that the proposal to shift the State’s capital, which might perhaps have been feasible 25 years back, is unrealistic today. (We have seen how even shifting the State Secretariat to a new place has run into difficulties.) What is needed is the development of 15 new cities in various parts of Tamilnadu, with an average projected population of 5 lakhs each, on greenfield sites proximate to water sources, of which the area between Tiruchi and Thanjavur could be one.) Program in Ramana Bhaktha Samajam Sri Ramana Baktha Samajam, West Mambalam (BVSN Moorthy School, Thambiah Road, West Mambalam) conducts the following program on Sundays: 5 p.m: Veda paarayanam 5.30 p.m: Ramana Maharishi’s Aksharamanamalai. 6 p.m: Discourse. More details can be had in phone 94441 72623. Special pooja is conducted and prasadam distributed among special children at 11.30 a.m on Ramana Maharishi’s birth star day (Punarpoosam). Page 3 Women Helpline 1091 Page 4 TAMIL CINEMA 75 A LOOK BACK Shirdi Saibaba devotees take out procession By RANDOR GUY TAMIL CINEMA AND MUSIC - 33 Sadly, Venkataraman, a man of much musical talent and composing skills, did not get the credit and recognition he richly deserved, and remains underrated to this day. In the evening of his life he underwent much suffering and mental pain, mainly due to lack of work and financial insecurity. When Ellis R. Dungan visited Madras in January, 1994 after forty and more years of his departure from here, he expressed his desire to meet his old friend and composer. This writer invited Venkataraman for the meeting at Connemara Hotel where Dungan was staying. Venkataraman was then living in Besant Nagar, having sold his Gopalapuram bungalow. But he refused to come and meet Dungan and, in a quivering and emotion-choked voice, he explained, “Randor, Dungan knew me very well in the 1940s when I was on top and a happy man. Now I am a broken man struggling to live, forgotten by all, and I do not wish my old friend to see me in this state. Please explain it to him. He is a “Vellaikaaran”(white man!) and he will understand!” When this writer told this to Dungan, he felt sad and understood the state of his old pal’s mind. Venkataraman passed away a few years ago. One of the Meera bhajans Venkataraman taught MS while in Madurai was ‘Merey Giridhara Gopala’. The tune and melody of this bhajan were adapted in ‘Sakunthalai’ for the famous song rendered by MS, ‘Engum Nirai Naadha Bramham”. Another song he had taught MS was a patriotic hymn ‘Bharat Maathaake Pranaam’. It became the hit song ‘Aanandamen Solvene’ in the same film. 1933... Kumbakonam Mahamagham Exhibition&The lawyer-turned-filmmaker and Indian movie pioneer and talentscout, Krishnaswami Subramanyam, was in charge of the fine arts wing. He arranged a Carnatic music concert by this talented teenager from Madurai. That night a new star was born and Subramanyam made a mental note to launch Subbulakshmi into a wider world of arts. K. Subramanyam took his bow in films in 1934 with ‘Pavalakodi’ in which M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar and S. D. Subbulakshmi also had their debut in cinema. As a socially conscious filmmaker he believed that cinema should be used as a tool of social change and protest, and not for mere mindless entertainment. With such laudable objectives far ahead of those times, he made, among other movies, ‘Seva Sadhanam’ (1938) based on a novel by the celebrated Hindi writer Munshi Premchand. It had earlier been serialized in ‘Ananda Vikatan’ with much impact, and had been translated by ‘Sister’ Subbulakshmi. Subramanyam purchased the movie rights for Rs. 4000, a record sum for a film story in that period! He made changes to suit the requirements of his Tamil film and wrote the screenplay and dialogues. ‘Seva Sadanam’, directed by K. Subramanyam, narrates the tearful tale of a young Brahmin girl forced to marry a man old enough to be her father because her parents could not cough up the dowry for her marriage to a more suitable young man. Her married life becomes hell and more hell, thanks to a despotic widowed sister-in-law and the old man. Unable to bear it all, she leaves home. A Good Samaritan comes to her rescue and she soon makes a mark as a popular singer. Later her husband realizes his folly and, in a fit of anger against society, his community and himself, he throws away his ‘yagnopa veedham’, as mark of protest against the rigid and cruel Brahmin orthodoxy. Produced by Madras United Artistes Corporation (MUAC) promoted by Subramanyam, the film had MS as heroine and F. G. Natesa Iyer as the creaky-jointed old husband. Natesa Iyer, a senior officer of South Indian Railway (SIR), Trichy, was himself a patron of fine arts and talent scout. It was he who had discovered M. K. Thyagaraja Bhagavathar and K. B. Sundarambal. He ran a sabha in Trichy and also a drama troupe. (To be continued) By Our Staff Reporter Members of Sri Shirdi Saibaba Dhyana Maiyam (6, Sarojini Street, T. Nagar) took out a procession with the idol of Shirdi Sai Baba in T. Nagar on Oct. 24 (Maha Samadhi Day). T. Thiruvalluvan (Founder) told Mambalam Times that ‘Vidhyarambam’ was conducted for children below 5 years. He said that devotees chanted Saisath Saritha and sang bhajans. There was Sthavana Manjari paarayanam and Vishnu sahasranaama paarayanam also. Thiruvalluvan said that devotees are welcome to visit the temple from 8 a.m to 11 a.m and 5 p.m to 8 p.m on all days.

Nagar, was found dead on the tracks near Nungambakkam Railway Station on Oct. 19. He had taken the suburban train from Mambalam on Oct. 18 night after finishing work. His body was found by members of his family who later alerted the police. His cousin George said that the family had filed a missing complaint. “But in the morning, somebody answered his phone and told us he was lying here,” he said. The family suspects Shakti might have slipped off the train. Shakti was the sole earning member of the family. “His mother is ailing and his sisters are still in school,” his cousin said. By Our Staff Reporter Residents of Kasi Viswanathar Koil Street, West Mambalam complain that the sewer line in the street gets blocked often due to cow dung entering the line. They said that workers clearing the line remove dung which they dump near a handpump to be taken away after it dries up.Residents appealed to the authorities concerned to take steps to prevent dumping of cow dung in the sewer line.

SADANAND Getting RICH quick The Aravind Kejriwal test of his IAC-formula, just sprung on the billion+ Indians from whom he chose a guy named Vadra as a guinea pig to boost the sale of sleeping pills in some, and trade fall in the getrich-quick guys who might have ordered a couple of Dreamliner aircraft for living it up with the Jonses, smells of discrimination when many, many more corruption emperors are lording it over this beautiful country! Vadra must be wondering, “Is this what my wife’s father and his mother had died for in order to give this country a decent nook in history?” Rajiv, who art in heaven now on transfer, is above petty things like real estate. Earthy things are farthest from his thoughts but his son-in-law is fingered now as an outlaw because Kejri boy is tarring and feathering the good along with the bad and ugly, so that his quota of spleen for the day is spent and he can have a beauty sleep of 8 hours as recommended by beauticians in women’s magazines. Or has opposition to good old Annaism and the induction of the IAC as a panacea for all ills that Kejri boy imagines we are beset with the causative factor that drove good old Kejriwal to applaud the DLF honeymoon of Robert? Well, nothing worthy of headlines is happening in our courts. Let us have a right royal court bout involving the guns of Navarone.After all, lawyers must earn from foolish clients too!

By Our Staff Reporter Though pillars have been constructed on the bed of the Adyar river near Jafferkhanpet for the Metro Rail project, the earth removed during construction has still not been cleared and is blocking free flow of water in the river. Even the bed for the rail tracks has been built across the pillars. Residents have appealed to Metro Rail officials to get the debris removed so that water flows freely. Otherwise, the river will get flooded during rains and water will enter residential areas on the banks. Residents said that the pillars also block free flow of water. They said that about a thousand families are residing in adjoining Thiru Nagar, Sathyamurthy Block, Vasudevan Nagar, Pari Nagar and nearby areas. MAMBALAM TIMES REQUEST TO READERS!
