I would like to remind Mr. Murali and the rest of The Hindu Board that they must keep in mind that most people who have worked or are working for The Hindu also know no other life \"except in The Hindu\".
on Oct 23, 2013The Hindu has developed a disturbing and irritating trend of US bashing. Is that why N Murali calls the editorial Communist ? I see more edits on the state of US economy and US foreign poilcy than our country itself. Regular columns of US nationals just doesnt have any relevance.
on Sep 2, 2011To call N Ram a communist or a pro-communist is to insult the communist movement. Here is a man used to best things of life posing as one who is interested in the welfare of millions of Indians who are unclothed, unfed and unsheltered and in no way better than they were at the time of independence. N Murali comes out as a honest and sincere person who really should have run The Hindu in the manner it was run so far.
on Aug 30, 2011What is inexplicable is The Hindu's obsession with Islam and Arab politics. The Hindu, whose readership comprises mostly Hindus, blatantly promotes the Islamists. A majority of the editorials, edit page articles, and op-ed page articles deals with Islamic issues and Arab politics. Even as he threw out his family members from the editorial board, Ram chosen Siddarth Varadarajan, who shares Ram's obsession for Islam and Arab politics. What could be the reason for this ?
on Aug 30, 2011and what is inexplicable is ur obsession with hindu's non-existent obsession. In fact there are people who feel on the contrary!
on Sep 5, 2011Apart from ego, bad company is the reason for The Hindu's debacle.People close to Ram's ideology are being promoted and Comrades are having their day. Murali and Ravi are the gentlemen in the family and they were used as mats by Ram, in typical commie style.
on Aug 29, 2011NMurali is one of those rare breed who stands upright amidst all this turmoil that afflicts our society. Hope sanity prevails and this great institution returns to its glory days of trust, credibility and objectivity. Mr.Murali. May U be blessed with the possibility of active involvement of this newspaper again
