S • An English Biography on Jayalalitha by VaasanthiBook Review: Amma – Jayalalithaa’s Journey from Movie Star to Political Queen, by Vaasanthi, Juggernaut Books, New Delhi, 2016, 175 pages. At last, a short English biography on actress-politician Jayalalitha, the current Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, India, had appeared. The author Vaasanthi, is a noted Tamil woman novelist. Despite the front cover blurb from The Hindu, extolling it’s essence as, ‘Fascinating…a required read’, the quality of this work is sub-standard. It seems to me, as a sanitized rip off from Vaasanthi’s previous book on Tamil Nadu politics, entitled ‘Cut-Outs, Caste and Cine Stars’ (2006; hereafter shortened as COCCS for this review). Offensive passages included in this 2006 book had been delicately chopped off to be in the good books of ‘Amma’. I cite three paragraphs from chapter 15 of COCCS, which quotes Cho Ramaswamy, a noted observer of Tamil Nadu’s political scene for over half a century. “ • Jayalalithaa Age, Biography, Family, Facts, Death Cause & MoreBio | Real Name | Jayalalithaa Jayaram | Nickname | Jaya and Amma | Profession | Politician (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (AIADMK)) and Former Actress | Political Journey | 1982: Entered politics by becoming a member of the AIADMK. | 1984: Became the member of the Rajya Sabha. 1989: Elected as a member of Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly. 1989: Elected as the General Secretary of the united AIADMK. 1991: Became the youngest Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu (aged 43). 2001: Became the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu for the 2nd time, till September 2001. 2002: Continued her position as the ledare Minister of Tamil Nadu mot 2006. 2011: Became the ledare Minister of Tamil Nadu for the 4th time. 2014: Stepped-down from the post of the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu after a case of disproportionate assets in Karnataka and corruption case, and was sentenced for 4 years with a fine of 100 crore (INR). 2015: Won |
