The Madras Government, in April 1959, banned popular actor M.R. Radha’s Tamil play 'Thooku Medai'. He submitted the script of another drama Kathal Bali to the Madras Commissioner of Police and obtained a licence to perform it. On noticing that the play was similar to the banned 'Thooku Medai', the police registered a case. How Tamil actor M.R. Radha got away with staging a ‘banned’ play in 1959?

Tamil Nadu’s first Assembly by-elections since the 2026 elections are a key test for Chief Minister C Joseph Vijay and the ruling TVK. With former AIADMK MLAs contesting as TVK candidates in Madurantakam and Dharapuram, the bypolls will test voter sentiment on political defections, the strength of the AIADMK and the stability of Tamil Nadu’s new coalition government.

The Shah Commission of Inquiry, set up by the Union Government to probe excesses committed across India during the Emergency (June 25, 1975 to March 21, 1977), found the DMK a striking victim of the abuse of Maintenance of Internal Security Act (MISA) in Tamil Nadu after the M. Karunanidhi Government was dismissed on January 31, 1976, and President’s Rule was imposed.

Historical records of debates on the Justice Ismail Commission Report that took place in the Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly as well as Legislative Council (since abolished) in 1978 reinforce that former Chief Minister and DMK president M.K. Stalin was indeed a political detenu under the Maintenance of Internal Security Act (MISA) during the Emergency.

These stickers on MTC buses have zero effect on irresponsible passengers who continue watching videos at high volume, spoiling the commute experience. MTC, please ask bus crews to enforce this rule.

A ₹5,000 bad debt, many years later, ended up becoming a crucial clue in the conviction of an ex-Tamil Nadu Minister in a corruption case.
