Vikram,
Wah...very good piece. Wonderful. Monopoly of Kammas & Reddys in Telugu and Brahmins & Jains in English is evident. Its a master stroke indeed.

vikram,

i wonder how popular u r becoming with this blog. no matter what u post, but the kind of comments that follow, really reflect the media in andhra pradesh. true, mvr sastry did a lot and gained a lot. he is an experienced journalist (editor). he talks of values that can hit his mentor of his early days of journalism (ramoji). but, can anyone forget sastry's casteist and communal writings? his arrogance? his tall claims on his knowledge in indian history? everyone knows how communial (read -- brahminical) he is! be it in eenadu or andhra prabha and now andhra bhoomi, sastry stands for brahmin journalists and is out to kill others. there are several non-brahmin journalists who are his victims. u know the kind of language he uses to the non-brahmin journalists? horrible man!. and today, he speaks of values and morals in jouranlism! ha ha ha... vikram expose such ppl man!

Hi Vikram
wonderful item. compliments to you.
if you see sastry history, you'll find that more than one occasion, he tried his best to give jobs to his caste. His writings on history are most misleading in the history. By the way I came to know that satry's contract with Bhoomi is not going to be renewed and he is trying desperately to join in Vaartha. anybody to confirm?

sastry no doubt has a good pen, as is evident from his pungent writings in weekly column "pen point," but at the same time he is a very bad individual. he treats his staff like donkeys and stringers as ants. see how he is making his reporters to run around ias officers and ministers to distribute his daughter's wedding at exhibition grounds on dec. 14?

No doubt sastry is having good pen rather he is a very good communicator or else he is a master story writer. he will convice situation very nicely. He may be a Brahmin paksha paati or not is different issue. deffinetly he is not at all a good human being.

no doubt sastry is a laudable editor. having worked with him once, i can say that i never came across his castiest affiliations. these type of allegations do, definitely, crop up by some people who have been unable to prove their skills before him. keep it up sastry. vikram it is nice to write about sastry. keep going
