Sandal Forest

The heading is the translation of the Tamil word 'Sandhana kaadu'. That is the mega serial name which is going to be screened in Makkal TV from Oct 15th. And all it is going to talk about is the slain sandalwood smuggler Veerappan's life.

Just because he had the support of the villagers in & around his locality, that doesn't make him a big hero or a Robin Hood. Does it? In either case, he is still an anti-social element and I really don't feel we should make a big reel-story about him. Why is the TN Govt or the court allowing this?
