RE: Granting of DAS licence to Tamilnadu Arasu Cable TV Corporation for the interest of low and middle income groups of people.

Good Morning Mr. Minister. Your good office asked TRAI to expedite the process of granting DAS licence to a government or government owned entities or political parties. TRAI h
as struck to its November 2008 recommendation. Well. I just wanted to put up one question to your good office, when you are not granting DAS licence to Tamilnadu Arasu Cable TV, why should you granted DAS licence to Prasar Bharati? TRAI also said that the government should further strengthen the relationship with Prasar Bharati. According to me, the states and individuals are an equal position before the law. I do not see the principle of Unity in our judiciary. Because of that our country is still in flawed democracy. Tamilnadu Arasu Cable TV is interesting in giving all cable channels in cheap price. It aims to provide cable services for low and middle income groups of Tamilnadu people at low costs. Why the central government is acting in favour of private cable operators. Now private operators should decide which channel people watch. Supreme Court should interfere in DAS licence and put an end to this monopoly and allow the people to select their MSO (Multi-System Operator) as per their wish.     

TRAI said that almost all advanced economies, the governments were debarred from holding broadcasting license. This statement is so wrong footed because in USA, broadcasting was established as commercial enterprise but UK, New Zealand, Australia and many more advanced economies established as a government run essential service. TRAI also said that state governments or political parties may use media wrongly in party interest and not necessarily in national interest. This is statement also erroneous because private players too use media wrongly. For instance, SUN TV, Tamilnadu who use media wrongly for in DMK party interest and many private players use media wrongly. I am not interest to diisclose the list of Indian Medias who use media wrongly for political parties’ interest.

To conclude, I suggested your good office that the current broadcasting policy seems to have caused a dire lack of clarity in DAS licence. I most humbly prayed your good office to investigate well, show favour to none including Prasar Bharathi, maintain impartiality while drafting any policy and try to understand the needs of the citizens. I hope that your good office to take a decisive decision to grant DAS licence to Tamilnadu Arasu Cable TV for the benefit of low and middle income group of Tamilnadu people.    

Please accept, your Excellency, the assurances of my Chief Minister highest consideration of granting of DAS licence to Tamilnadu Arasu Cable TV Corporation for the benefits of low and middle income groups of Tamilnadu people.

Sincere Regards,

SUGGESTION TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN YOSHIHIKO NODA

SUGGESTION TO THE PRIME MINISTER OF JAPAN YOSHIHIKO NODA To: The Right Honorable Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: 30.09.2011 RE: Japan Energy Policy Suggestion: Changing Industrial Policy Good Morning Prime Minister. BBC World broadcasted your speech regarding alternate energy sources. I agree with your approach to reduce nuclear power in the medium term because having the nuclear reactors in an earthquake prone zone is not safe for the environment or the communities that live near them. Japan is struck in a difficult situation concerning energy. If you want to eventually move away from the nuclear energy, you’ll have to invest more alternative energy sources. If you can’t invest, then it may have to say with a nuclear power for a while. You need make the right decision because source of energy is dwindling. You have one more option which is Japanese people depend on nuclear power with only 1% but 9% including hydroe...

INDIA'S FARM BILL 2020

To:     The Right Hon. Indian Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi   From: Athinarayanan Sanjeevraja Date: February 15, 2021 RE:     India’s Farm Bills 2020 Suggestion: Hon. Prime Minister, let me start paying my respects to you and through you to. India’s farm reforms have been advocated for many decades by the Indian farm economists. In fact, I’m strongly in the favour of the farm reforms when I was in Indian financial market 2007. The farm laws are very good in intent and end ecologically unsound practices. Farm law needs to be welcomed as farm laws are free market laws which allow private players to directly purchase agriculture products from farmers. In other words, farm law eliminates middlemen and gives the right to farmers to sell their agriculture products to whoever they want and they could decide the price but your government proposal on farm laws which fear that it refrain small farmers have freedom to negotiate to...
