Dinamalar’s weekly question-and-answer column, Anthumani Pathilgal, published on November 5, 2026, carried a series of brief, opinionated replies on a range of political and social topics. The responses are written in a light, satirical tone typical of the column.
On Rahul Gandhi, the columnist quipped that he could be made a ‘model prime minister’ for a trial, since he is not likely to become one in reality. The remark was part of a reply to a reader’s query and reflects the column’s commentary style.
In another reply, the column praised an awareness initiative aimed at feeding poor children, suggesting that giving bread and biscuits would be better than cash for adults, who might spend money on intoxicating drinks or substances. It also commented that courts have not always helped those affected, and said Chief Justice Dharmadhikari had come to uphold justice.
The column noted that similar public-spirited incidents are happening here and there across Tamil Nadu, and said that if people in every district acted similarly, it would assist the government and make the state an example to the world. It also welcomed arrangements to translate the Thirukkural into English so that the world can learn from it, and hoped more languages would follow next year.
The final reply said that Edappadi K. Palaniswami claims that only he has the right to do all of these things. The column’s views are satirical opinion and not factual reporting.
