Newspapers: The Hindu vs Times of India

For some years, I was subscribed to The Hindu and Economic Times alone; but when the sales person of Times of India forced me to subscribe with offers, I was kinda reluctant and finally subscribed just for the offer. I didn't like the Arnab Goswami of Times Now and still don't like him. Now, it looks like Times of India is leading in terms of journalism, though I don't like how it's pushing AIADMK. At this moment, Times of India is a clear winner though The Hindu is trying with Wikileaks articles.

Who is behind Savukku.net (WikiLeaks of India)?

Ever since I've given my Humble Award to Savukku , I've started getting hits about the person behind Savukku website (Julian Assange of Savukku?). In fact, I wasn't aware of the identity of the person behind the Savukku and so I collected the following information. Name Shankar Age 35 Previous job Staff of directorate of vigilance and anti-corruption (DVAC). He was suspended and arrested for alleged leaking of taped conversation Marital status Single, living with mother (Heleena told me that she read somewhere about this) Native Tanjore Photo Lifted from blogintamil.blogspot.com shows he's arrested on alleged road rage Related links Blogger whips up a following City blogger held for road rage நிà®°்வாண அழகு (வலைச்சரம் ஜோதிஜி 5வது நாள்)

Humble Award - savukku, WikiLeaks of India

Savukku is a brave news website on politics and corruption. It publishes many allegations, proofs and conspiracies against many popular personalities like journalists, news editors, politicians, activists, etc. As of now, it seems to be the only source of information on hidden things and politics. The articles published seem to have given important hints to CBI for it's recent raids in Chennai related to Telecom 2G Spectrum scam (Google "barkhagate" and related stories too) I wish Savukku to publish many more hidden truths without any arm-twist and get more support through social media.
