TP SUNDAR RAJAN IPS DEAD

Reporter TV is the first to report at 2.10AM on 17th July 2011, that TP Sundararajan, the former IPS man and now lawyer, passed away.

It was on his Petition that the Supreme Court ordered the opening of the Padmanabhaswami treasure.

Foolish devotees and Raja-bhakths might now say that Padmanabhaswami killed him.

I salute the great Dissenting Activist.

SAD ABOUT THE PINK CHADDI THROWING WOMEN

http://kafila.org/2009/04/12/arise-awake-the-people-who-run-facebook/
As usual, they refused to publish my Comment on their Blog. Talk of tolerant Indian intellectuals!
"From: Nisha Susan Date: Sat, Apr 11, 2009 Subject: Pink Chaddi vandalised and taken over
Dear All,
Some of you know that the Pink Chaddi facebook group has been hacked over and over again over the last month. We have written to FB about the violent messages, the defacing and the threats. Despite all over security measures the hacks have continued. Facebook has essentially fobbed us off with some form mail. As of this evening my account has been disabled. The trolls have taken over. Rather specific *grin* and anatomically correct messages have been left for me on the group. I can’t get in to see what is happening but friends report that members are being deleted off the group.
FB continues to stay silent. As my friend says, the first rule of Facebook activism seems to be dont use Facebook.
Oh by the way the trolls have renamed the group ‘A good bong is a dead bong’. Over the month there choices have been Nathuram Godse Appreciation Society, Dara Singh Appreciation group and other as I said, anatomically specific ones.
Just wanted to let you know that this is what is happening. I am lobbying online and would appreciate it if you spread the word.
Thanks,Nisha

We have been hacked regularly for a month. Sometimes every 8 hours or so.
We have during this month done the following.1. Removed all group admins except mine, to ensure the attack couldn’t have come via them.2. Ran virus scans on my computer to look for spyware and keyloggers.3. Changed my password every 2-3 days. (and not the 123 kind) and every time an attack happened.4. Switched me to a Linux desktop, just in case something was missed.5. Disabled javascript in my browser, in case it was an XSS attack.6. Logged all HTTP requests from my browser to look for unusual activity, but found nothing.
And two days ago I found (I am the creator of the Facebook group) that my account has been disabled by Facebook who decided that I was the source of abuse. The group was then taken over by hundred odd troll accounts who ran it into the ground. Today I think either deleted it (or declared it secret which works just as effectively.)

And this was my Comment which they refused to publish:
This is all very sad. To have fallen thus after vanquishing the entire Indian masculinity by merely throwing pink panties at them!
We must consider what else to throw now. Or shall we hand over the entire issue to the Afghan Taliban and seek their protection? They are perhaps, the only secular force that can teach the Hindu Fascists the right lesson.
The very reason for wearing panties is that private parts have to be protected from infection by bacteria and virile viruses. It looks as if by throwing away our panties, we have laid ourselves open to easy infection.
Not by bullets, but by panties- seems to have failed. We might have to go back to Mahatma Gandhi again. Something like a Chaddi March, perhaps; from the Pub in Mangalore? To some Mallya brewery and make Beer.
