So it is apparently necessary for me to state once again--not what kind of church I believe in, for that should be important only to me--but what kind of America I believe in.
- John F Kennedy.

For the first time in the history of TamilNadu, three members from the Vanniyar community have been given representation in the government and given important portfolios. - Chennai Online.


"I think we make a mistake when we fail to acknowledge the power of faith in people's lives," Obama said in his speech.

I can go on and on. I rest my case.
