dear Ms Suseela, Thanks for thinking on the issue, but your mail showed blank. Must be one of those moments when we click before completing the message. I am still interested in knowing what you had to say. By the way, hereunder the extract of the report carried by TheHindu newspaper on November 29 2001 ~~ (Would that a lot of devotees write to the Chief Electoral Officer, Chennai-600005, and the District Collector, Tiruchirappalli-600001.) aDiyEn rAmAnuja-dAsan T.S. Sundara Rajan at Srirangam. ================================= << Computer changes SRIRANGAM name >> -- by V. Ganapathy. Tiruchi, Nov 28. ***The Srirangam Residents Welfare Association has taken exception to the description of Srirangam as 'Palaya Rangam, Tiruchirapalli' in many electors' photo identity cards issued by the Election Commission to residents. On behalf of the association, Mr T.S. Sundararajan ... said Srirangam has been known the world over as a religious, tourist and cultural centre for centuries and the name cannot be changed by the election authorities. By no stretch of imagination can Srirangam be redesignated as 'Palaya (old) Rangam'. In many photo identity cards, the word 'Sri' has been totally omitted under the 'pretext' that it cannot be transliterated by computer. Thus, 'Sriram' has been renamed 'Ram', Sridhar 'Dhar', Srinivasan 'Nivasan', etc. Mr Sundararajan has appealed to the authorities to ensure that such erroneous and 'outrageous' changes are not made at least in the new electoral list and EPICs.***
