Is there (still) honour in politics?


There is a need for politicians to uphold principles and dignity. Only then can we create an honourable political culture.

I WAS watching Maamannan, a hugely popular Tamil movie, on Netflix recently. Written and directed by Mari Selvaraj, it casts some of the most respectable stars in Kollywood today including Vadivelu who played the title role, Fahadh Faasil, Kaerthy Suresh and the producer himself, Udhayanidhi Stalin.
