In Tamil Nadu, where politics and cinema blend easily, the 100th day of an inaugural is a special occasion. Ahead of that milestone in office, first-time chief minister M.K. Stalin is determined to demonstrate that his government is a break with the past five decades of Dravidian rule in the state. Stalin, 68, is only the third chief minister from the DMK (Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam), after his father M. Karunanidhi and C.N. Annadurai earlier. The seventh-term MLA has rich experience in both politics and administration, having been a minister and deputy chief minister as well as a proactive opposition leader during the regimes of the rival AIADMK (All India Anna Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam).

Going by media reports, the American exit from Afghanistan now seems to be more ignominious than from Vietnam decades ago. Else, there is no reason why the US troops should have exited from the Bangram air field in the middle of night, without informing the host-government of two decades. With that they also left behind 5,000 prisoners from the Taliban, which has been taking control of one distant district after another through months of gradual American down-sizing.
