well done murthy

Did anyone notice one of the biggest conspiracies to derail our Information Technology sector pass us by? In a country where everything IT is such big news I wonder how everyone missed this?The Asian Age carried it in two single columns stories- 'Narayana Murthy appointed IT adviser to Lankan President' and another one which read 'Murthy refuses Lankan Offer'.Just imagine what would have happened if Murthy would have said yes to it however.Unless someone is living in a cave without television, he will know that in the present time a huge part of Tamil Nadu is in flames with scores of ultra-national Tamil sons of the soil protesting the Tamil Nadu and Indian governments' inaction in the whole Lankan mess. As the LTTE gets beaten to a corner with only the Bay of Bengal behind them, these sons of the soil have brought the mayhem to Tamil Nadu. In scenes never seen before, lawyers have stormed the High Court at Chennai, have fought pitched battles with the police, plucked off the testicles of a poor constable who got caught in the black robe mob, and burned the police station inside the High Court premises. In the interiors of Tamil Nadu, the situation is far worse apparently.In Tamil Nadu the two most hated figures currently are Mahindra Rajapakse and Sarath Fonseka. One is the president of Lanka who came to power on the promise that the LTTE mess would be cleared up once and for all, and the other the head of the Lankan Army who is going about making good Rajapakse's promise in a way that would have made George Patton proud.Fonseka, not the typical stiff upper lip military man, isn't averse to calling Karunandhi, Vaiko and Nedumaran and Ramadoss 'jokers' 'buffoons' and the like. And what is galling for the jokers mentioned above is that Fonseka and his men are motoring ahead with some speed in their quest to pull down the world's most well-oiled terror network..So what is the conspiracy all about? Jog your memory back to the some months ago when Tamil Nadu and Karnataka almost went to war over the sharing of the Cauvery waters. On both sides of the divide, the film industry called daylong bandhs and spewed venom on the other. On the streets, toughies burnt buses and vehicles of the other state.Rajinikant- tough for him being born a Kannadiga and enjoying the spectacular adulation of being a Tamil superstar- managed to sneak through the tough stretch with some biting comments against Karnataka politicians.So just imagine hat would have happened if Narayana Murthy had accepted the offer to be the IT adviser of Tamil Nadu's most-hated man? Remember his company is based in Karnataka and for all purposes Murthy is Kannadiga.If the black robes of Tamil Nadu could inflict that kind of mayhem at the Madras High Court, just think what they could have managed at the swanky Infosys campus in Bangalore?Thanks to the domino effect, none of the other IT majors would have remained untouched if the Big Daddy of the industry got a tough one on the chin.Just carrying this conspiracy theory some yards further, I just want to know which Lankan bureaucrat forwarded Murthy's name. At least we can be sure what he thinks about India, its progress and of course the Tamils. Because this bureaucrat could well get a job with the ISI, such is his scheming brain.
