I happened to check the information on "Karunanidhi" and "Jayalalitha" in Wikipedia. After going through the information provided therein, I checked the date (it was originally added to Wikipedia in 2007 ) and that made things more clear to me. You can quote these two pages as a best example to remind people on how 'history' can be twisted to suit people's convenience.
Per Wikipedia, Karunanidhi is THE best and everything about Jayalalitha carries a negative angle to it (for the simple reason that this article was pushed in during the reign of Karunanidhi -i.e in 2007). There is no neutrality in either of the articles. We all know how "Anna" was made as the 'Universal Leader' !! That made me think on the possibility of 'Akbar' having too many wonderful 'fan-followers' like "Kazhaga Kanmanigal" who kept his name aloft with slogans like "Akbar naamam Vazhaga". That could be one of the reasons for all our school text books praising Akbar and branding Aurangazeb as a sort of villain !!
Few years down the line, dont be shocked to read the following lines "Laloo Prasad Yadav, was THE BEST known minister India had ever had and his reign was considered as the 'Golden Age'." It is possible - we may have to hear and read lot of such nonsense. Vazhga Bharadham !!
