Subject: New piece on Tamil Nadu politics

My new piece: 'Vijay and the accidental inauguration of new politics in Tamil Nadu’

"In all, the TVK seems to have restored balance in the electoral space by somewhat clearing the Dravidian decks for a more universal appeal. This clearing of decks may help ‘outsider’ national parties like the Congress and the BJP to flourish without having to deal with, first and always, with an all-Tamil battle pre-determined by ideological corner stones."
